How does Bitcoin protect people from inflation?

[Chronic Gambler9]

The more people buy Bitcoin and hold it for a long time with confidence, the more the value of Bitcoin will increase, it is true that the price of Bitcoin increases depending on the demand of people to buy.
But the important thing here is that people always want to buy something that has a very limited supply because that asset can bring them big benefits in the future, as a result of which they can own a large amount of money that can change their life. So here limited supply and demand are related to each other. The demand for that asset which is valuable and has a limited supply and its demand in the market will never decrease, it is natural for the price to gradually increase.

Bitcoin will remain forever, and the market will continue to grow as a result of the price increases. The increasing demand for Bitcoin directly contributes to its lasting value, as it has reached a point where many people do not want to miss the opportunity to invest in it. Some people believe that when the supply of bitcoins becomes limited, demand will decrease; however, I argue that they do not understand the true value of bitcoin, which prevents them from considering the possibility.

People who are not yet invested in Bitcoin should take it; it’s never too late. The Bitcoin investment is open all the time to those who are interested in investing. Invest now and enjoy the benefits of the investment in the future with big returns.

Bitcoin has had a limited supply since its inception, and there is no possibility of Bitcoin being limited in the future. Bitcoin can only be mined to a maximum of 21 million, so if you or anyone thinks that the supply of Bitcoin will be limited in the future, you are wrong.

This limited supply of Bitcoin is why everyone is so drawn to Bitcoin. Because whenever it is possible to create a large amount of Bitcoin, if the demand for Bitcoin increases, then someone can mine Bitcoin again and release Bitcoin into the market, and a large amount of Bitcoin can be seen in the market. As a result, even if the demand increases, the price of Bitcoin will not increase due to the supply of Bitcoin. But it is not possible to mine more than 21 million Bitcoins, and even if the demand increases in the market, there will be no Bitcoin in the market, so everyone will buy Bitcoin at an additional price.

You stated that "whenever it is possible to create a large amount of Bitcoin... someone can mine Bitcoin again". This doesn't make sense to me. You can't "mine more", there's a 21M supply cap, full stop. Are you referring to alt-coins with unlimited supply? Those coins are worthless, I'm guessing that was what you meant?

​A 21M supply cap can lead to increased prices but not necessarily ONLY increasing prices. If noone wanted to buy/hold, the price could still crash. Of course, the cap does make it more likely that the price will increase, assuming that demand stays strong/increases, but it's not necessarily a given. It's scarcity+good demand that increases the price. Plenty of alt-coins with limited supply crashed to ~0 because noone wanted them.

​So it's the combo of cap + actual demand that drives price, not cap by itself. Could you explain what you meant above in another way?

Bitcoin is indeed an hedge against inflation. There are some countries inflation that can even last more than a decade, you see cost of living going up, and fiat currency loosing value, but Bitcoin doesn't loose value, but appreciates in value. When you make your research very well, you will find out how much Bitcoin price has increased, and the profit that even small investors have made from the beginning. Today, not only individuals are investing in Bitcoin, both countries, and institutions are seriously engaging in Bitcoin investing, and that is because Bitcoin is an asset that gives value, and is always appreciating in value over time.
More also, because of inflation what you money in the bank losses value from time to time, but money invested in Bitcoin multiplies in value, and give stability to your finances.

If someone is looking for an hedge against inflation then Bitcoin is one of the best possible options available at the moment. If we do a small research then it will be clear to us that Bitcoin price continuous to increase while money stored in bank continuous to lose its value. This fact is now also very clear to government and institutions that is the reason they are also investing in Bitcoin. If you an individual who is willing to invest small money every week or month in Bitcoin then you are adopting best strategy to beat inflation in coming time.

I don’t think it is a debate anymore. Everyone already knows that if you want to overcome or beat inflation investing in bitcoin is the best way to do that whether you are a young person or you are an adult.
Investing in bitcoin is very important and very good because it will save you from inflation and it will also save you if your country is at war, if you invest in bitcoin and your countries at war your investment will be safe. It won’t be affected in anyway, but real estate or other physical investment won’t be safe.
Bitcoin is the best option for financial protection.

We are all optimistic about bitcoin but it seems yours is over. Bitcoin has been around for over a decade but whether it'll remain forever is not something that anyone can guarantee because it's survival depends on many things. We want it to stay but in reality, nothing last forever.

It's never too late to invest but I would advise people to do their research instead of giving them assurance of big profits. Yes, bitcoin is profitable if you hold it for long term but it's volatile and very risky. You don't just invest in it because of profit alone, you invest because you understand the pros and cons.

I think its too far to say that Bitcoin will save you in case of war. In war physical assets will be damaged but also other facilities like internet and banking system will be at risk too. No doubt your Bitcoins will remain residing in your wallet in case of war but it won't be easy to access your Bitcoins during war either.

In this thread we are discussing how Bitcoin protects people from inflation and the simple answer to this question that Bitcoin value is continuously increasing from the time since its launched. If you are investing in bitcoin to manage inflation than you should think it as a long term investment and don't expect for returns in few weeks or months.

The problem with some people is that they think it's too late. I've also heard many people say that it was a mistake not to start at that time in 2021, and they also say that it's difficult to start now. You're right, holding Bitcoin in the long term can be profitable for many people. But it can be wrong to calculate the guaranteed profit in Bitcoin in advance. Because they may sell it before holding it in the long term. Even some people who think too much about profit in the beginning get scared if the price of Bitcoin drops a little and decide to sell it when the price increases. That's why I would tell everyone not to hold Bitcoin just for the guarantee of profit. The biggest strength of Bitcoin is the convenience of keeping your assets to yourself.

It's actually not something we should debate on and another thing is that we don't have to consider bitcoin as the only way that we can fight against inflation because if you want to look at the index that can be used to fight inflation you will know that it will not be only through Bitcoin because there people that have success beaten inflation by been wealth and not just by bitcoin so there different investments that we can use to fight inflation so we just have to be creative in doing this by even putting our money to use so that we don't end up worsening the situation.

The economy have to be also understood and how we can use it to fight will be inflation because of the kind of information that we know so it will be best if all this things and proper understood and know exactly which one will be best for you to use because we would not want to do something we don't have knowledge of so if it is bitcoin or not we should be ever ready but all will still depend on what we know.

[DYOR+BTC]

Same way inflation is harmful to a country's economy same also is bitcoin a very challenging factor to inflation, bitcoin possess some unique qualities that enable it work in an opposite direction to inflation and some of this features are: its decentralized nature, unpredictable  or constant increment or dropping in its price and other terrifying features i consider an excellent features. 
If considered a strategic point of contact,  it will be one of the best decisions because it possess all the features required to disorganise to terrifying disadvantages the gives inflation a stepping stone in our economy today.
This is one of the reasons why most major investors of bitcoin are not affected with or without the existence of inflation in our society today.

if you invest in bitcoin and your countries at war your investment will be safe. It won’t be affected in anyway, but real estate or other physical investment won’t be safe.

When country is at war, you can still lose your bitcoin if you are not careful. If there is war and you don’t properly protect your wallet seed phrase, then you should know that you can lose access to your bitcoin. If where you store the seed phrase is being attacked, and the seed phrase is being destroyed, you won’t have access to your bitcoin again, and everything is gone, but if there is war, and your seed phrase is safe, then it will help you protect your bitcoin during war.

I mean, it is simple because Bitcoin doesn't have inflation because it wasn't controlled by the government, unlike fiat money , it has a fixed supply so the market price was just depends on supply and demand. That's what makes the market price.

So basically, you're just converting your fiat money into something that isn't affected by inflation; it's not like it was an actual protection of inflation but we could say that since it doesn't get affected anymore if you convert your funds into Bitcoin.

Am I missing something here? Because the market is going crazy, saying that the price of Bitcoin has dropped to 81k$ I mean that was still too high at the moment, why are people already panicking? There are a lot of theories already on the internet about mathematics, crack tech, something that I don't really understand, and I don't want to read anymore about it.

I just can't get my head around how logical it is to say that there is no inflation in bitcoin. Even though the amount of bitcoins is 21 million, Bitcoins are still being mined. I feel it is more sensible to state that the fresh supply of bitcoin is actually pre-established as well as reduces with time.

If you believe that buying Bitcoin won't be impacted by inflation, that's not correct. Imagine that the price of housing, food or medical care have risen in the place I live. In this situation, I will pay more if I'm carrying Bitcoin or not. In that case, even if I do have the Bitcoin, I will be required to spend more worth to purchase those things. Again, Bitcoin's price is in constant movement; when the inflation is rising, the price of Bitcoin can drop at the same time.

Bitcoin faces a swift price changes in a little period of time, knowing well that the price is always on the move, and making new highs is obvious, but not stamped to be known before time. Bitcoin doesn't really protect us from inflation, but it in some ways reduce the effect from reaching us directly. In a situation where the dollar price increases, those whom their native fiat is below the dollar rate will see room for profits when exchanged.

We can easily loss our seed phrase when we are being careless and storing our seed phrase shouldn’t just be in a single location, we can spread them through different locations to be safer. When one get destroyed during the war or any crises then we still have others stored in a different safe locations, if our seed phrase is safe then our wallet is safe too. Bitcoin is a convenient alternative and physical risk free investment when crises and war arise in a nation where by houses and buildings get destroyed. Our physical investment can get destroyed but our bitcoin is safe in our wallet as long as we have our phrase store in a safe place.

I agree with you that the price of Bitcoin fluctuates at any time, there are highs and lows, that's why it is correct. Because so far if you look at the issue of Bitcoin investment, your money will be protected from inflation, because Bitcoin will definitely increase in this long period of time because by holding Bitcoin investment for a long time, you will definitely have the opportunity to profit. But if you hold fiat currency, its value will gradually decrease but there will be no high,
but instead if you buy Bitcoin with the same amount of money and hold it for a long time, then there will definitely be an opportunity to profit from Bitcoin investment. That is why it can be said that Bitcoin will definitely protect you from inflation to some extent.

Our physical investment can get destroyed but our bitcoin is safe in our wallet as long as we have our phrase store in a safe place.

One thing a lot of people fail to understand is that having several copies of your seed phrase also increases the chances of theft if one fails to store these copies very well. Yeah I agree that it can be very useful to keep backups in several different locations, but the most important should be, how safe and secure are they in those locations? Because it’s crucial for these copies to remain completely protected from unauthorized access. Bitcoin has the ability to survive the destruction of physical property, recovering it still pretty much depends on having access to the keys, as well as working way to use them.

It does, and this is why it is referred to as a store of value. Bitcoin's value can be very volatile, but the value of fiat is even more volatile; it's just that people don't understand this. If you have a certain amount of fiat in the bank for 4 to 5 years, the value of that fiat won't be the same as today; it will be worthless.

However, a certain amount of Bitcoin in the wallet for the same period of time will definitely increase in value. If Bitcoin can make your money have more value in the next 4 to 5 years, this simply means it can protect you from inflation because the same amount left in the bank won't be the same in value.

Yes you are right and I completely agree with you. The person who is still not willing to invest and the person who is still opposing Bitcoin still needs to understand the technology of Bitcoin and the main goal of creating Bitcoin. Because when a person has knowledge about the technology of Bitcoin, he will definitely understand and then he will definitely be willing to invest.

Nowadays, seeing the amount of bank corruption that we are hearing about, almost everyone is now losing their trust in the banking system and every person is looking for their financial security and for financial security, Bitcoin is the most powerful currency and a trustworthy currency

The price of Bitcoin fluctuates for those who intend to invest for short term but those who are willing to invest their money for long term are not bothered about price fluctuation or volatility because Bitcoin price always go up in the long run. There is marked increase in price of Bitcoin in my country over past 10 decade. I was able to buy a bread in 40 Pak Rupees 10 years ago and not its around 250 Pak Rupees, this gives us an idea that how fiat is losing its value with passage of time. But there is considerable increase in price of Bitcoin in last one decade.
