Just when you think the USD is down for the count, the government comes back and print more money, backed by the banks. This stimulates more debt and keeps the economy going. Once people see
through this façade, they will eventually turn to something that will have a store of value, like gold and Bitcoin. Bitcoin looks very volatile, but in the long run... the price per Bitcoin climb steadily
upwards over time. Do not be too focused on the short term volatility, because you will miss the bigger picture.
