Bitcoin: An Illusion of Affluence! 🚀💰

by

Once upon a buoyant and bittersweet economic tableau, the cryptographic wonder known as Bitcoin lingered whimsically just upon the cusp of the four-number pantheon – a jest of fate indeed, if one dares peek through the monocled lens of inflation. My dear, astute reader, allow me to regale you with the impish revelation of Galaxy’s Alex Thorn, an inquisitor as shrewd as he is adorned with a bang of a ringleted mane.

“If one delicately waltzes through the charade of adjusting Bitcoin’s halcyon days to the innocent visage of the 2020 dollar, dear reader, BTC exhibited nary a smidgen of courage beyond the $100,000 mark,” Wyatt the watchful Thorn cheerily divulged on a Tuesday most ordinary.

“Incredulously, it danced at $99,848 in this yesteryear valuation – a tantalizing tango indeed.”

In Thorn’s very own sumptuous calculation, with a hint of the dramatic, rests the bewitching Consumer Price Index (CPI). Ah, the CPI! A diva that whirls across price tags like a boreal ballet, perpetually readjusting the globe of goods and services that sits atop the head of collective monetary despair, as overseen by the diligent Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In the autumnal whispers of November past, the CPI flourished, revealing a 2.7% swelling over the annum preceding – a gracious waltz, virtue it still bequeaths to the stealthily receding valor of the dollar, which has stealthily shed its vigour by a spry 20% since the awakening of 2020.

US Inflation: An Elegantly Aching Waltz

Now, what tableau presents the price of goods? Alas! Originating a flicker past merely 1.25 times its erstwhile self, as dictated by the esteemed CPI. Within the confines of today’s pecuniary bounds, a dollar coyly retracts to but 80% of its prowess of yesteryears.

Profoundly, the US’s inflation soared with an audacious prelude past 9% amidst the pandemonium of the pandemic’s embrace in 2022, cascading over intentions and gently mocking the Federal Reserve’s 2% audacious target.

Dollar Index: A Thoroughfare in Decline (2025)

Our US dollar, once an imperial titan, now wades through a current of decline with ever-growing velocity as certified by the Dollar Currency Index (DXY). This factual dance metric plucked from the venerated halls of TradingView notes a demise of no less than 11% since the year’s modest beginning, descending to a modest 97.8. In the autumnal chill of September, a low so breathlessly three years deep was brushed, 96.3. A wistful dance downward commenced in the heart of October 2022, serving as a metaphorical stage for the once overlooked “debasement trade” – oh, the sardonically delicious feast of those who dare to bet upon the steadfast rise of assets, as the dollar’s vigor ebbs into the mists of the monetary nether.
