Everything should always get more affordable over time.

There are only two reasons it wouldn’t:
• Technology or production capacity has been physically destroyed.
• Someone is counterfeiting vast amounts of money.

When you live your entire life thinking everything should always do the exact opposite - get more expensive - you’re being stolen from at an incomprehensible scale.

They want us to think it's normal

Agreed. But I'd add a couple additional reasons to the two you mentioned: Reason #3: Bureaucracy and red tape is driving up the cost of production. Reason #4: Lack of market competition prevents true price discovery of goods to take place.

A third option is that someone along the supply chain sees prices drop and decides to pocket the new profit.

People are brainwashed into normalising this and normalising debt. Inflation, loans and mortgages should be exceptions, not the status quo.

this is why I built plaza. its sovereign commerce infrastructure. zero fees forever for customers and merchants. Merchants now can turn their iPhone or iPad into a full pos and accept bitcoin payments that go straight to their wallet via the plaza app. Plaza is non custodial and never holds anyone's...

The invisible part: most people have been trained their entire lives to see rising prices as neutral — even healthy. So when money is debased it reads as 'the economy' or 'supply chains.' The theft is disguised as normalcy.
