Any asset that increases in value over time relative to fiat currency can be considered a hedge against inflation, and bitcoin is one of them. But bitcoin is a volatile asset in the short term like stocks…so it is more suitable for long-term inflation hedging than short-term hedging.

So if you want to use bitcoin as an inflation hedge, make sure you hold it for the long term . If you are  looking for a short term solution, bitcoin is not suitable and is not the solution.

One thing you need to understand about bitcoin is that it is a volatile asset, and you need to consider it as a long-term investment. Bitcoin is a good store of value only if you can hodl it for a long time. If the investment is a long-term investment, there is a guarantee of making a good profit in bitcoin. If you really want to understand how bitcoin is a store of value, you can do your research and check the price of bitcoin over the years. You can compare the price of bitcoin with fiat and other assets since bitcoin was created; you would see the difference and the reason why bitcoin is considered a good store of value.

Understand the value of bitcoin from previous years. The volatility of bitcoin doesn't make it a less valuable asset. The way volatility plays a role in the decrease of the price of bitcoin is the same way it increases the price of bitcoin.

You seem to be worried about BTC's volatility, nobody is going to deny that BTC is volatile, but in its volatility it obviously beats inflation. I don't know what country you live, but imagine holding your country's fiat or BTC for the last decade, it is obvious which of them lost its purchasing power and which outpaced inflation. If it is BTC's volatility that worries you, and you'd prefer assets that beat inflation, but are not so volatile, then you can buy gold.

I think this might be the third thread I read Bitcoin hedge against inflation in this year, it just surprising how popular Bitcoin now and people can see the all time chart, but still asking whether Bitcoin really able to hedge against inflation or not.

Bitcoin is no longer a highly volatile asset, now the volatility is medium, it won't down or up too high like in the past.

With such medium volatility, it should able to make newbie or Average Joe feel safer with the volatility.

So far I think Bitcoin is an asset that functions as a hedge. On the one hand Bitcoin is very volatile but overall from year to year the value of Bitcoin often increases and even beats inflation. In my country the government claims inflation is only 3-4% per year. But if you look at the price of basic necessities in the market, inflation is around 10-15% per year. This means that assets with returns below 15% will lose to inflation. So far Bitcoin has been able to provide an average return of up to 30% per year. Although there were some moments where someone bought Bitcoin in 2021 for $ 60k but in 2022-2023 the value of Bitcoin was around $ 20- $ 30k. Yes Bitcoin can be a hedge for the long term and you can withdraw some of the profits. But still don't put all your wealth in Bitcoin. Set aside some for stocks and gold, especially gold.

Generally, when there is inflation, the value of money decreases. The purchasing power of the common people also decreases. Inflation can be caused by various reasons, especially the government printing more money or global influence. In such situations, people usually try to hold those assets that retain their value for the safety of their assets, especially gold was given priority earlier. At present, Bitcoin is considered a digital gold. Because there is a fixed supply of Bitcoin. People have learned to understand that Bitcoin is the most modern and reliable system for gold or anything else where an individual can ensure maximum security through investment. Since there is no government or any central authority, no one can increase the supply of Bitcoin, which will increase the value of the asset.
