Your paycheck is growing—but it's just not enough. Housing prices keep climbing year after year.
Yet here's the plot twist: measured in Bitcoin, real estate is getting progressively cheaper.
When you price assets in hard money instead of fiat currency, the story flips entirely. What feels like inflation in traditional terms actually reveals deflation against a sound monetary standard. Your salary race against home prices? It's rigged. But against Bitcoin's fixed supply scarcity? That's where the real wealth transfer becomes visible.

Wage increases can't keep up with housing prices—who doesn't know that? But if you really start valuing your assets in Bitcoin... now that's just ridiculous. Houses are getting cheaper and cheaper, haha.

That's why I never pay attention to nominal salary increases... Only valuing in BTC reveals the truth.

This perspective on BTC is indeed absolute. Rising house prices are meaningless now.

Ha, sounds nice, but it all comes down to BTC to see the truth clearly. The fiat devaluation trick has been played for so long, with housing prices soaring rapidly and wages crawling at a snail's pace—everyone knows what's going on.

I'm screwed. The salary increase can't keep up with housing prices, but when priced in Bitcoin, it's actually the house that depreciates... This perspective is a bit bleak.

Bro, this is what I've been shouting about... A salary increase? Forget it, it's better to just stock up on Bitcoin.

Oh my, this is the real truth, the salary increase is completely a joke
Salary Growth Illusion vs. Bitcoin Reality
