Am I the only one feeling that whatever I do, I will not be able to hedge the side effects of global inflation on my purchasing power? Actually, the existing investment options failed hard against inflation.

Precious metals could not keep up with the strength of the US Dollar and the monetary policies of the FED. Basically, holding their money in the form of fiat currency seems reasonable for millions of people but they are going to generate negative value because of this inflation rate.

Is it Possible to hedge real Inflation?

To be honest, I could not find a sustainable way to escape from these "less trustworthy" inflation numbers around the world. The US Dollar has gained a lot of value and it may not be the best time to invest in the USD when there is 8% inflation.

Gold has not shown up to protect people from lowering purchasing power. I'm sure it will be used as a vehicle to answer the requirements of being the most popular element in the world.

Crypto and/or De-Fi yields nice returns compared to the other counterparties but the fundamental problem arose from the fact that these investment options did not attract attention.
