> you turn a profit by borrowing money and buying a basket of assets, since their price will rise alongside inflation

That explanation doesnt make sense when the basket of assets has a expiration date and/or significant storage or maintenance costs.

There are plenty of assets that don't have an expiration date, like real estate or stocks of profitable companies with pricing power. And those are the assets that people are actually buying, and there prices have been going up to match.
