Fiat Lies — Bitcoin Tells the Truth | T-Shirt

Fiat Lies, Bitcoin Tells the Truth contrasts discretionary monetary policy with Bitcoin's publicly verifiable rules. Its open protocol lets anyone inspect how the system works, while the 21 million supply cap defines a hard limit on issuance. Predictable issuance follows known rules, verifiable supply can be checked by participants, and independent verification lets full nodes check the same consensus rules without relying on a central monetary authority.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "Fiat Lies, Bitcoin Tells the Truth" mean?
The phrase contrasts discretionary monetary systems, where authorities can change issuance policies, with Bitcoin's rule-based monetary system. Bitcoin's supply schedule and validation rules are public and can be independently checked, reducing reliance on a central issuer's statements or decisions.

How can Bitcoin's supply be independently verified?
Bitcoin full nodes independently validate blocks according to consensus rules, including the rules governing new issuance. Because the protocol and blockchain are publicly auditable, participants can check whether newly created bitcoin follows the expected issuance rules instead of relying on a central authority to report the supply.

What makes Bitcoin's issuance predictable?
Bitcoin's block subsidy follows protocol-defined rules and is reduced at scheduled halving intervals. This makes the long-term rate of new issuance predictable in advance, although the exact timing of individual blocks can vary. Full nodes independently verify that blocks follow these consensus rules.

How long will my order take to arrive?
Each item is made to order. Production typically takes 2-5 business days, followed by 4-8 business days for shipping. The estimated total delivery time is 6-13 business days.

How should I choose my T-Shirt size?
Use the product size chart before ordering and compare its garment measurements with a T-Shirt you already own. Because products are made to order, returns are not accepted for an incorrectly selected size.
