Depends on what you compare it to.
Pumping against fiat? For sure.
Pumping against your time and energy? Never, it's always on par with it.

Nah!! I meant pumping against Fiat. #bitcoin
Fiat is bad measurement because it's dynamic.
It's like trying to measure your height over time with a measurement whose definition is constantly changing. For example, today you measure your height in centimetres and tomorrow in centimetres and a half. Makes not much sense in my opinion.
