Nominal value
Nominal value is the sticker price: the number on the tag today. A car that costs $41,000 has a nominal price of $41,000.

Purchasing power, explained in plain English
Denominated is not about trading. It is about seeing how everyday costs look when measured against a different benchmark over time.
Purchasing power
Purchasing power is what your money can actually buy. If your dollars buy less over time, the number may rise while the real value falls.
Opportunity cost
Opportunity cost asks what else the same money could have become. Denominated shows the Bitcoin amount you would spend today and how that benchmark changes later.
Why dollars can go up while value goes down
An item can become more expensive in dollars because the dollar is losing purchasing power. That does not always mean the item is becoming more valuable.
Why Bitcoin can be used as a benchmark
Bitcoin has a fixed issuance schedule, so some people use it as a harder benchmark for long-term purchasing power. This app uses that benchmark for education, not prediction.
Assumptions are not predictions
Every scenario depends on the numbers you enter. Inflation rates, item prices, and Bitcoin growth assumptions are simply inputs for comparison.
