Could your salary keep up?
Wages rise. Prices rise faster. Here is the gap, and what it looks like in bitcoin.
People in stronger currency zones have historically had an advantage: inflation can be slower and earnings have often grown with the wider economy. That does not make USD, GBP, EUR, DKK, NOK or SEK immune to loss of purchasing power, but it can make the loss easier to live with.
For many people, a rapidly devaluing local currency can outpace wages and savings. The gap is not created by a bad spending decision. It can begin with the economic zone someone happened to be born into.
