ExploreIn fiat, everything climbs. In sats, the same things tend to fall.
The Consumer Price Index measures the average change in prices paid by consumers for a basket of everyday goods. Rising CPI is inflation — the silent erosion of purchasing power that affects everyone holding fiat currency. Some countries lose a few percent a year; others have watched their currency collapse in months.
Bitcoin's supply is capped at 21 million coins, enforced by code — nobody can print more. So while fiat prices drift up over decades, the same basket priced in satoshis has trended down as Bitcoin's purchasing power has risen. SatsAtlas tracks both stories so you can compare them directly.
