I wouldn’t have realized it if you hadn’t mentioned it—$SOL ’s inflation is actually this brutal 😂

Let’s do the math based on the “ideal retail investor scenario”:
At the 2021 peak, $247, you bought 1 SOL. After buying, you did nothing else and just started compounding staking, holding tight until now, which would get you about 1.25 SOL. Now the price is around $138, so 1.25 × 138 = $172.
In other words:
You went from $247 → $172,
Time + compounding + conviction = still a loss. 🤡
What’s even crazier is that Solana’s current market cap is $77 billion,
Almost unchanged from the previous peak.
This is the real destructive power of inflation:
It’s not that the project is bad,
It’s that “your share” is gradually diluted.
But to be fair,
SOL is already considered “generous”;
At least it gives you staking rewards as compensation;
Some tokens are even harsher—no staking, no price gains, and never returning to peak market cap.

There’s only one conclusion:
In a bull market, you think what you’re making is price gains, but your real opponent is—time + inflation.
