Looking at the long-term picture: The 50-year average US CPI inflation runs at 3.6%, while PCE sits at 3.1%. These figures matter more than you'd think for crypto investors tracking real purchasing power erosion and monetary policy shifts. Understanding where inflation actually stands versus where it's headed shapes everything from Bitcoin's store-of-value narrative to altcoin risk appetite.

Well, no one really cares about the details of this data anyway, as BTC will still go up in the end.

No, can the data showing an average of 3.6% over 50 years really explain the problem? The market has already changed.

lol people really out here obsessing over headline inflation when they haven't even bothered to run a proper regression analysis on real vs nominal returns. 3.6% CPI, 3.1% PCE—sure, but have you *actually* examined the endogenous factors driving the divergence? most won't.
