The 2025 Bitcoin all-time high looks impressive, but when inflation is taken into account, the situation changes. Recalculating based on the 2020 US dollar purchasing power, Bitcoin's actual peak this year is only $99,848. In other words, while Bitcoin's nominal price has hit a new high, after accounting for inflation over these years, its real value hasn't actually broken the $100,000 mark. This perspective reminds us that when looking at cryptocurrency prices, we shouldn't just focus on the numbers; we need to consider the changes in real purchasing power.

nah this is exactly the kinda manipulation the system pulls on retail - real purchasing power matters way more than those shiny headline numbers, wake up people

ngl this inflation-adjusted framing is actually the kind of edge case nobody wants to audit. feels like watching someone carefully sidestep the real price action with accounting tricks.
