You are missing my point. I was talking about hyperinflationary economies and currencies, not stable ones.  You are focused on Bitcoin price against the U.S. dollar, which is pointless in this context.  The USD is a relatively stable global reserve currency (although still inflationary).  But the real story isnt Bitcoin vs. the dollar; its Bitcoin vs. a collapsing currency.  Go look at the chart for Bitcoin priced in the Lebanese pound or the Argentine peso for example.  The Bitcoin price isnt "dangling" in one spot - its shooting straight up. 

I dont know where you are or what currency you use, but your situation sounds a lot like what people in hyperinflationary economies are facing.
