Like all currencies, the US dollar is subject to devaluation. It has already experienced a significant loss, diminishing nearly 99% of its original purchasing power. In contrast, gold and Bitcoin have demonstrated remarkable resilience, maintaining their value better than most assets. These alternatives possess substantial purchasing power, enabling you to acquire anything. Sure, a seamless conversion into fiat currency, is required for most transactions. However, that does not effekt the price of the asset, so, who cares? I trust a decentralized system any day more than all the centralized banks, companies, agencies, or even countries that have broken their promises many times over.
