since a lot of hardware is priced at btc the answer is yes in those cases.  AM sticks are .07 btc  so after the silk road bust it was about  7.35 usd now it is 11.62 usd.  i used coinbase and I purchased 4 btc at 105 usd the day of the silk road bust.  today coin base wants 166 usd a coin.

  So 60 AM sticks at 4.2 btc were only 441 usd the day of the silk road bust.

same 60 sticks today are 4.2 btc but that is 697 usd based on todays coinbase  prices.  that is a 4 dollar a stick rise in price.
