The Real Play for Lasting Wealth
26 Jun 2025
Not financial advice, advice.
The real play for lasting wealth - no click-bait, just the mechanics the wealthy have used for decades.
Meet the DXY: the U.S. Dollar Index.
t tracks the dollar’s value against a basket of six major currencies, so it’s the cleanest read-out of dollar strength. Over the past 12 months the index has slid from a 52-week high of ≈110 to ≈97; a fall of roughly 11%.
The rich see two blunt truths:
Fiat melts. The Fed explicitly targets 2 % annual inflation (measured by the PCE index). That means every dollar is designed to lose purchasing power, year after year.
Scarcity wins. Assets that can’t be printed - property, gold, Bitcoin, fine art, prime farmland - tend to rise in value over time because supply is capped while demand keeps grinding higher.
The move is simple: Sell (or hold fewer) dollars ➜ Buy scarce assets.
You win twice: • the dollars you spent erode in real terms; • the scarce thing you bought appreciates or at least holds its ground.
You don’t have to be a Bitcoin evangelist to hold a bit of $BTC. You just need to grasp that the Fed will keep the money printer going and you’d rather not drown in the wave of new dollars.
Wealth is relative. You look rich only because others look poorer. If most people stay parked in a melting currency while you park value in something solid, your purchasing power rises as theirs slips.
Hard truths.
