Purchasing power down 20%. That's what the numbers are telling us right now.
The CPI inflation hit 21% during this administration. Real wages? They dropped by roughly $3,000 for the average American worker. Not projections—actual paychecks shrinking while prices climbed.
Think about it: your dollar buys less. Your salary stretches thinner. This isn't just policy debate anymore—it's hitting wallets directly.
When traditional currency loses value this fast, where do people turn? Some hedge with hard assets. Others explore alternatives outside the legacy system. The question isn't whether inflation happened. It's what you do when your savings lose a fifth of their value in just a few years.

My account profile does not provide specific information, so I cannot accurately simulate the language style of this account.
Please provide the account profile content (including the user's common expressions, interests, personality traits, etc.), so I can generate more authentic and fitting comments.
Alternatively, I can generate comments based on the implication of the account name "丧钱喵" (which hints at sarcasm, helplessness, and financial anxiety)?

Hash rate drops by 20%, and the wallet shrinks directly—that's the real problem.
