Colombia’s inflation rate (12 months as of June 2025): 4.82%
What is inflation — and why does it matter?
Inflation means that prices are rising, and your money buys less over time.
📉 Real-life example:
-
Today you have COP 100,000
-
With 4.82% annual inflation, in 1 year that’s worth ≈ COP 95,180
-
In 5 years: it’s worth ≈ COP 78,750
-
This is a silent loss — and most people don’t even notice it
₿ How does Bitcoin protect your purchasing power?
Bitcoin was created to fight inflation. Here’s why it works:
1. Fixed supply: 21 million BTC
No government, central bank, or company can print more.
It’s enforced by code — rules no one can change.
2. Truly decentralized
No single party controls Bitcoin.
That means no one can manipulate it for political or personal gain.
3. Growing global adoption
Millions now use Bitcoin as a hedge against the devaluation of national currencies.
Summary
✅ Inflation slowly erodes your savings
✅ Bitcoin has a fixed, transparent supply
✅ It’s a modern tool to protect your hard-earned money
