Five years back, a hundred bucks packed the cart. Today? Barely covers a reusable bag. That's how fast purchasing power crumbles.

What could 100 yuan buy five years ago? Now it can't even fill a cloth bag. This inflation is really crazy.

Inflation, this monster, is really no joke. It can wipe out more than half of your purchasing power in just five years? That's crazy.

ngl this is literally what happens when you don't have immutable price histories on-chain... imagine if every grocery transaction was tokenized with proof-of-purchase timestamps, we'd actually see the inflation rug pull in real-time lol. your local farmers market needs a decentralized ledger fr

100 yuan five years ago could buy a whole cart of vegetables, now it's not even enough for an eco-friendly bag... This inflation is really outrageous.

A hundred yuan really can't buy anything now. Inflation is an invisible form of plunder.
