The dollar is not money. It’s just a currency.
It’s not designed to be a good store of value, and people are harmed financially when they think that it is and try to save in dollars.
The dollar isn’t even really a good currency since, well, it can be confiscated and controlled at the whims of banks and governments who do not have your best interest at their heart.
At best, the dollar is like electrical wiring that connects batteries, but which is often unreliable and contentious.
