Current EUR inflation: 2.5-3%
Energy inflation: ~4.9% YoY
Food inflation: ~2.4% YoY
Cumulative inflation Eurozone 2021-2026: ~20–30% loss of purchasing power

2.5% on overnight deposits though the cost of living already jumped 20–30% in 5 years and is still rising. That's not growing wealth, that's just slower bleeding.

Plus, Banks suddenly raising savings interest (everywhere you look) is a sign of being short on liquidity. As in, they don't have your money (which WE already know). But that's a different topic.

Not sure we're you're located, but for business operations, that makes a lot of sense from a tax / operation stand point. For a W-2 employee, any more than 6 months living expense is looney town. I keep enough living expense to get me to long-term disability payments and not have to stress.

When you really, I mean really think about it, having your wealth in ₿ "earns" you (or rather saves you) ≈3-5% risk free. It's mind boggling.
