Imagine your favorite candy bar. If everyone wants it, its price goes up, but if the store runs out of candies and keeps raising prices, eventually no one will buy it anymore. A currency is like that candy bar: when people trust it and keep using it, it stays strong. But if too many people lose faith in it, it can collapse like a broken bridge.
Examples
- You buy candy for $1 today, but tomorrow you need $3 just to get the same bar.
- Your country prints a million new coins, but there are only two extra apples in the store.
- Everyone stops using your currency because they know it’s going to be worthless next week.
