If you compare it with bitcoin it's even worse. Both aren't great comparisons, the US left the gold standard so long ago it's not a meaningful comparison.

But that wouldn't be a fair comparison. The prices of gold and dollars are stable. Bitcoin was invented in 2009 and is still in price discovery.

It's almost like that's my point.
