One income used to be enough. A factory worker in 1970 could buy a house, raise a family, and retire comfortably.

Now two incomes often aren't enough to save for a down payment. Same hours, same effort, fraction of the life.

People didn't get lazier. The money changed. In 1971, the dollar was severed from gold, and governments have been printing without constraint ever since. The dollar has lost 87% of its purchasing power. A dollar your grandparents earned bought 8x more than yours does today.

This is why Bitcoin matters. Not as a get-rich-quick thing, but as the first money with a hard cap that no central bank can debase. It's savings technology designed to hold value across generations, not leak it.

The generation that built the middle class didn't need sound money. They already had it. We're the ones who have to choose it.
