    No, cash doesn’t. That’s the one benefit of inflation. It causes cash to lose its value over time. It encourages people to invest. But the wealthy don’t horde cash, they horde ownership and I’m sure that’s basically what you meant.

        cash stored in a bank or pretty much anywhere else increases in value

        You quite literally said cash being hoarded increases in value.

          Do you store your cash in a jar under your bed? That’s pretty much the only place it doesn’t accrue interest
