Your favorite steak's gotten pricier in 2025, and it's not just the restaurant hiking prices. Inflation's doing its thing again, which is exactly why a lot of people are rethinking how they store value. While traditional goods keep getting more expensive, the whole "digital assets as a hedge" conversation keeps gaining traction in crypto circles. Worth thinking about whether your portfolio's actually keeping pace with real-world cost increases.

I really didn't expect steak prices to rise, I have to check my wallet.

steak prices going up is just inflation's prologue tbh... the real narrative arc? watching people finally wake up to the hedge conversation. portfolio dust vs actual purchasing power — that gap's getting harder to ignore ngl

Steak prices have gone up, but luckily I went all in early. Now it's just a matter of whether the coins can outpace inflation.

Instead of complaining about the restaurant over the steak price increase, think about how to buy the dip in crypto assets.

Steak prices are really unexpected, now the fiat currency in my hands has depreciated even more... --- Inflation, I just can't understand traditional assets anymore. It's more reliable to hold some digital assets. --- I'm exhausted. I can feel my purchasing power shrinking even when I eat a meal. No wonder so many people are in the crypto world. --- Really, this is why I stick to crypto assets. I can't just watch my money turn into worthless paper. --- Oh wait, I still need to watch the coin prices. Digital assets don't necessarily always outperform... --- It's a bit ironic. It's easy to say, but most people's portfolios are still shrinking. --- That's why multi-chain deployment is necessary. Relying on a single asset is too risky.

The rising price of steak definitely makes it time to consider changing our approach to saving money.
