(Unless You Held Bitcoin)

In Part 1, we looked at Big Macs, real estate, and gasoline.
Now let’s talk about what really hurts: education, travel, fashion… and healthcare.
All of them got more expensive — unless you held Bitcoin.

🎓 University Tuition — The Cost of Knowledge

In 2010, a year at a top U.S. university cost around $30,000.
By 2025, it’s over $65,000.

💬 In fiat, education became a luxury.
In BTC? It became surprisingly affordable.

• In 2010: you needed over 400,000 BTC
• In 2025: just ~0.8 BTC

🧠 The value of real knowledge didn’t change — the value of fiat collapsed.

✈️ Flights — The Cost of Distance

A round-trip from the U.S. to Europe cost ~$650 in 2010.
Now it’s closer to $1,050.

💬 That’s a 60% rise in dollars.
But in Bitcoin?
You went from 9,000 BTC → 0.013 BTC.

🧠 The further fiat goes, the closer BTC gets you to the world.

👕 Fashion — The Illusion of Stable Prices

Shoes, jeans, and branded clothing didn’t skyrocket in dollars.
But in Bitcoin terms, prices collapsed.

💬 In 2010, a $70 pair of sneakers cost you 1,000 BTC.
In 2025 — only 0.0014 BTC.

🧠 Fashion trends change. Bitcoin trends up.

🏥 Healthcare — The Most Expensive Pain

In the U.S., healthcare is becoming unaffordable.
Average annual insurance went from $4,000 in 2010 to over $8,500 in 2025.

💬 That’s a 112% increase in dollars.
In BTC? You went from 57,000 BTC → 0.1 BTC.

🧠 If you saved in fiat, you can barely afford a checkup.
If you saved in BTC — you can cover a full private package.

🧠 Final Thought

Bitcoin didn’t just outperform fiat — it outlasted it.
If you saved in BTC, you didn’t just keep up with inflation.
You escaped the system.

Next time someone says “Bitcoin is too volatile”, show them this.
