In 2020, Bitcoin prices soared, and a few months later, inflation started to pick up.
In the second half of 2025, Bitcoin fell by nearly 40%, and a few months later, the inflation rate plummeted.
Bitcoin is a leading indicator of inflation.
Looking back, this is obvious.
Bitcoin's price behavior is essentially a reflection of **"the future purchasing power of money."** In 2020: the market anticipated that money would become worthless -> BTC rose -> and then prices actually increased. In 2025: the market anticipated that economic activity would freeze (cash is king) -> BTC fell -> and then prices actually decreased. #BTC
