Short YouTube #shorts clip (Capitalism.com, July 28, 2023) featuring Ryan Daniel Moran arguing that while assets like real estate or bitcoin may fail as inflation hedges in certain years, selling physical products (building brands) functions as an inflation hedge because sellers can raise prices along with inflation. The clip repeatedly urges entrepreneurs to "sell stuff" as a practical response to inflation.
Real estate is an inflation hedge unless it's 2023. Bitcoin is an inflation hedge unless it's 2022. But you know what else is an inflation hedge? Selling stuff. When inflation goes up, so does the price of your stuff. That's why we pay more for things on Amazon at the store. We complain about inflation when we're the consumer, but when you build brands and you sell stuff, you raise your prices along with inflation. And everybody expects you to. So while everybody else is talking about what to invest in while inflation is high, maybe you should just build a brand that sell. Sell stuff. Sell stuff.
