In this video, I discuss whether or not Bitcoin has failed as an inflation hedge.

I conclude that Bitcoin has been a great inflation hedge over multi-year periods, which is the typical holding period when talking about other inflation hedges like gold, stocks, and real estate.

Bitcoin is not a short-term inflation hedge, nor is it a pure CPI hedge.

Reasoning from first principles, it makes sense that Bitcoin will continue to be a good inflation hedge over multi-year periods, for the simple reason that Bitcoin is scarce and the potential supply of fiat is infinite. Unlike other crypto, Bitcoin is highly decentralized, not subject to capture, and it has credible forward monetary policy.

A digital age demands a digital store of value, and Bitcoin remains the best candidate.
