Looking back at that period in 2025, the most impressive thing was not the cold inflation figures or international sanctions press releases, but a more direct reality: the average weight of ordinary Venezuelans dropped by nearly 20 jin.

What is behind this number? It’s not a fitness craze, but a long-term collapse of purchasing power. When a country's monetary system completely fails, even high nominal wages cannot buy basic living necessities. Inflation data may be shocking, but nothing hits harder than this 20 jin — it directly reflects how the economic crisis gradually erodes the survival space of ordinary people.

This is also why, in such an environment, more and more people are beginning to reassess their asset allocation. When the fiat currency credit chain breaks, people truly understand what it means to store value.
