The article critiques traditional inflation measurement through the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is based on fiat currencies that inherently lose value. Samara Asset Group introduces the Bitcoin Consumer Price Index (BTCCPI), which recalibrates the measurement of inflation by assessing prices in Bitcoin rather than fiat. This change highlights Bitcoin's potential as a more stable monetary standard, revealing long-term price trends that indicate better preservation of value, thus challenging the conventional thinking in corporate finance regarding inflation and asset evaluation.
fiat currencies are designed to lose value, which means our inflation measurements are flawed, prompting a need for alternative measures like Bitcoin.
The BTCCPI reveals how Bitcoin can act as a more stable measure of value over longer periods than the traditional CPI.
