Everything Should Always Get More Affordable

— In a productive society with advancing technology and manufacturing, nearly all goods should become cheaper over time, not more expensive.

— The "apple economy" analogy demonstrates how price inflation occurs: if production increases 10x but prices double, it signals either a 20x surge in demand or a massive increase in money supply.

— Money printing is silent theft — it redirects the productivity gains workers create into the pockets of those who control monetary expansion.

— When real productivity improves but nominal prices rise, the culprit is currency debasement, not market fundamentals or poor performance by producers.

— The wage illusion: workers produce more value, but inflation erodes that gain, making real purchasing power stagnate despite increased output.

— If goods are not getting cheaper as society becomes more capable, the monetary system is the problem, not the economy itself.

— Stop accepting price increases as inevitable; use deflation in technology (storage, computing) as a benchmark for what a sound-money economy should deliver across all sectors.

— Examine whether your wages keep pace with productivity gains; if not, currency debasement is the likely cause, reinforcing the case for a non-inflationary monetary standard like Bitcoin.
