You realize that back in 2020 FED printed 10 trillion dollars out of thin air, right? More than America had printed during the previous 200 years...
I get it, Americans love their dollar to death (401k/SWIFT say hi) and will defend it to death (be prepared to fight for Taiwan), but you have to realize that if US tech companies go down, the dollar will go down too (also the euro, pound, franc, ruble -> all fiat currencies will melt -> perfect "excuse" to introduce CBDC).
Yes I do and wonder wonder old bills decay, more people get born into this world, 11 countries use the US$ as their national tender. As a National currency you cannot have a non inflationary currency.
Americans are loving all kind of stuff exchangeable for goods. As any other human being.
Its a marvel of times that the feds can print 20 billion (US) and get away with it.
