Bitcoin-The only long term protection against inflation
Gold and oil have been a reliable source of value for the investors as they are scarce. However, he also mentions that the US Dollar too was considered the same for 75 years. Winklevoss in his case study has presented a detailed perspective related to the issues faced by the US dollar, Gold, and oil. And pushes Bitcoin as the only long-term protection against inflation.
The supply of both Gold and Oil is not limited which could possibly impact their value. On the other side, they both are difficult to transport and store. In contrast, the US dollar is facing uncertainty as to the result of the growing inflation due to the printing of trillions of dollars by the FED.
However, if inflation continues to reach new heights, Winklevoss believes that Bitcoin could outperform gold and oil. He says,
“Inflation is coming. Money stored in a bank will get run over, read the document, adding Money invested in assets like real estate or the stock market will keep pace. Money stored in gold or bitcoin will outrun the scourge. And money stored in bitcoin will run fastest, overtaking gold.”
As inflation is not possible with bitcoin due to its limited supply, Winklevoss believes that ‘Bitcoin is the only long-term protection against inflation.’
