Meme aside, is this based on inflation? Some sort of global market?
If it's inflation it's not accurate. 100 2026 dollars is equivalent to 70 2013 dollars (not $50).
Just trying to fact check the math. I'm fun at parties.
I think if you include cost of living and cost of purchasing property, the US dollar is easily 50% less effective now than in 2013.
April 2013 one BTC was 90 dollars, so it's actually down a lot more than 50%
Don't remind me I once had hundreds of Bitcoin worth $300 total and sold because that was a huge profit lol
