At LiberSeed, we focus on self-sufficiency and breaking free from the systems that keep people dependent. One of the biggest hidden mechanisms of control is inflation, and most people don’t even realize they’re being robbed.
Inflation isn’t just prices going up—it’s the devaluation of money itself. It happens because governments and central banks continuously increase the money supply, making each unit of currency worth less. This is only possible because we live under a fiat currency system—a system where money isn’t backed by anything tangible like gold or silver, but instead is just paper (or digital numbers) that governments and banks can create at will.
How Fiat Currency Enables Inflation
In a sound money system—like when money was backed by gold—governments and banks couldn’t just create more currency without consequences. Every unit of money represented a real asset. But with fiat currency, central banks like the Federal Reserve or the Bank of England can print money out of thin air whenever they want.
Here’s how it works:
The government wants to spend more money than it collects in taxes.
It issues debt (government bonds), which central banks buy with newly created money.
More money enters circulation, reducing the value of existing money.
This devaluation of money means that over time, the same amount of money buys less and less—which is why prices seem to always go up. But the real crime is that wages and savings don’t increase at the same pace.
Inflation as a Hidden Tax (or Theft by Design)
Inflation is often called a “hidden tax” because it transfers wealth from the public to the government and the banking system. Unlike a direct tax, where you see the money being taken from your paycheck, inflation erodes your purchasing power quietly.
For example:
In 1971, when the U.S. fully abandoned the gold standard, the median home price was $25,200.
Today, that same home costs over $400,000.
Did houses really become that much more valuable, or did the dollar just become worth much less? The truth is, if the dollar held its value, most prices would be stable or even lower over time due to technological improvements making things cheaper to produce.
But instead, the government prints money, spends it first (before inflation kicks in), and leaves everyone else to deal with higher costs. That’s theft—your hard-earned money is losing value every year, and most people don’t realize it.
Why Don’t People Realize They’re Being Robbed?
The system is designed to keep people distracted. Here’s how:
1. Media and Politicians Lie About Inflation
Governments blame inflation on external factors: “supply chain issues,” “corporate greed,” or “global crises.” They never admit the real cause—their own money printing.
2. People Are Kept Financially Dependent
Most people live paycheck to paycheck, struggling with rising costs but never stopping to ask why prices always go up. Meanwhile, the rich invest in assets (stocks, real estate, gold) that gain value while the average person’s savings lose value.
3. The Education System Doesn’t Teach Financial Truths
Schools don’t teach about sound money, inflation, or fiat currency. They teach you to work for money, not how money works. The less you understand, the easier you are to control.
How to Escape the Inflation Trap
At LiberSeed, we believe the best way to fight inflation is to reduce your reliance on fiat money and the systems that benefit from it. Here’s how:
1. Hold Real Assets Instead of Cash
Gold, silver, and Bitcoin cannot be inflated away like fiat currency.
Land and productive property (like farms) retain real value.
2. Increase Self-Sufficiency
Grow your own food to avoid rising grocery prices.
Reduce reliance on corporate supply chains.
3. Reduce Debt & Avoid Banks When Possible
Banks create money through debt. The less you borrow, the less power they have.
Community-driven economies are more stable than global financial systems.
Conclusion: Building a Future Beyond Fiat
Inflation isn’t just an economic issue—it’s a tool of control that forces people to work harder just to stay in the same place. But you don’t have to play the game. By building self-sufficiency, holding real assets, and understanding the true nature of money, you can protect yourself and your family from the constant theft of fiat inflation.
At LiberSeed, we are committed to helping people reclaim control over their lives, one step at a time. Join us in creating a future where people are no longer slaves to a failing monetary system.
