Thinking back to when I assembled my own computer a while ago, the hardware prices now are really outrageous. Memory has tripled, and hard drives have doubled, with such a fierce increase that it makes your scalp tingle. In contrast, what about Ethereum during the same period? It only increased by 10%. It’s almost ironic—commodity and physical hardware inflation rates actually outpace the growth of crypto assets. What this really indicates behind the scenes is worth pondering.

Hardware inflation is off the charts, and ETH is still dozing off. This comparison is really striking. What does it mean? It means we still need to stay grounded and accumulate some solid assets, rather than just focusing on the on-chain numbers and dancing around.

Hardware inflation is really crazy. ETH only increased by 10%? That shows we still underestimated the craziness of the real world.

Hardware inflation is really intense; my mining machine costs have doubled, yet ETH is still idling. Inflation in the real world is much more brutal than in the crypto space.

Well, that's why I'm still holding onto hardware tightly — at least I can see and touch it.
