I agree but worse yet eth has crashed vs dollar.

 eth was 4000 in may 2021 it is 1880 now.

Eth was 2500 in feb 2022 it is  1880.

so 40 x 4000   = 160,000
and 28 x 2500 =  70,000
total $ value invested = 230,000

coins are 68 x 1850 = 125,800.

3.75% x 68 = 2.55 coins a year or maybe 5 coins or maybe 9250 cash

so if he cashes in 125,800 + 9250 = 135,050

230,000 = 135,050 he has a long way to break even.

As for the USD if you live in the USA and it hyper inflates the country will fall apart.

Hyperinflation means 

50% per month.

"What Is Hyperinflation?
Hyperinflation is a term to describe rapid, excessive, and out-of-control general price increases in an economy. While inflation measures the pace of rising prices for goods and services, hyperinflation is rapidly rising inflation, typically measuring more than 50% per month.'

SO  may 2021 1 dollar for a dozen eggs means

June 2021 >>>>>   1.50
July. 2021 >>>>>   2.25
August 2021 >>>    3.37
Sept 2021 >>>>     5.06
Oct  2021 >>>>>   7.59
Nov 2021 >>>>> 11.38
Dec 2021 >>>>> 17.07

Jan 2022 >>>>> 25.60
Feb 2022 >>>>> 38.40
Mar 2022 >>>>> 57.61
Apr 2022 >>>>> 84.41
May 2022 >>>> 129.62
June  194.43
July   291.65
Aug   437.48
Sept  656.20
Oct   984.34
Nov 1476.51
Dec 2214.76

Jan   3322.14
Feb   4983.22
Mar   7474.83
Apr 11212.24            this would be todays price of eggs if we had hyperinflation I saw eggs at 3.99 this week

if you live in the USA and are planning for hyperinflation you should be 

1) buying food the keeps for years
2) putting in solar with off grid battery ability
3) own an all electric car
4) lots of guns and ammo

Frankly if the USA were to suffer real hyperinflation we have 400 million guns.  A shit ton of people would be shooting each other.

As for Eth and staking. I rather be staking I bonds but the limit is 10 k a year.

Staking eth at 1850 a coin on coinbase is fine, but also think about some I bonds = For USA citizens only
