Has Bitcoin's Inflation Hedge Narrative Failed?
summary
Panel argues Bitcoin is practical insurance against a credit driven collapse not merely a CPI hedge and cites $400 trillion global debt vs $100 trillion economy as the math forcing devaluation. Notes Bitcoin is down ~70% historically yet hash rate and proof of work rise to all time highs tying issuance to real energy cost. Describes layer two delivering velocity without debt, and recommends starting small allocations (eg 3–5%) while watching onchain issuance, mining difficulty and asset repricing.
