Kyrgyzstan · KGS
The same story, told 2 ways: in KGS, prices only rise. Measured in Bitcoin satoshis, the picture inverts. Each chart says what it is — observed data or a labeled model.
01 · Prices in Kyrgyzstan keep one direction
Observed · World Bank CPI
The official consumer price index rose 81% over the last decade — the KGS buys steadily less of the same basket.
02 · One KGS, measured in sats
Observed · FX snapshots × BTC closes
2026: 1 KGS bought 19 sats. Today: 18. Log scale — the fall is the story.
Go deeper: everything Kyrgyzstan buys, in sats · where the KGS ranks in the Fiat League · your own salary in sats
