I remember when you could just buy something once and actually own it.

Photoshop used to be a one-time purchase. Now it’s $60/month.
Microsoft Office? It came with your PC. Now it’s $70/year.
Netflix was $8 for unlimited streaming. Now it’s $20+ with ads.
Spotify, YouTube, iCloud, Dropbox, even note apps like Notion or Evernote—all subscriptions now.
Duolingo locks off lessons behind paywalls. Car companies are turning on features like heated seats with monthly fees.
Even groceries have subscription models now.

It’s not just greed—it’s the result of a system where the money supply keeps expanding.
As dollars lose value, companies can’t rely on one-time sales anymore. They need recurring income just to keep pace with rising costs, wages, and inflated asset prices. Subscription models are a symptom of businesses trying to stay ahead of a currency that constantly loses purchasing power.

This is what happens when money breaks.

#Bitcoin is a fixed-supply alternative. No one can inflate it. That changes everything.
