Money is a tool for storing and exchanging the value of the time and energy you have to expend to acquire it.

When someone can effortlessly create that same medium without a similar costliness, your time and energy are what gives it value. Part of the value is transferred from your money, to the newly created money.

The same quantity of energy value is spread out across more units of the currency, resulting in a lower capacity per unit, to buy things that require time and energy to create.

This is the essence of #inflation.

When you work to be paid in this kind of leaky, corruptible money, and then store it for future use, it means you are the victim of a parasite that leeches on the energy value you are trying to store, from the moment you receive the money.

The only way to get rid of the parasite, is to stop storing your value in the money it is creating out of thin air.

The only way to opt out of its system of institutionalized coercive financial slavery, is to store your wealth in something that cannot be corrupted by creating it out of thin air.

A money which, just like the goods and services for which you may wish to exchange it, also requires time and energy to create, without shortcuts... for anyone.
