When people are complaining about the declining purchasing power of USD, they are mostly talking about since November 2021, because that's when inflation started to really kick in.
Its ironically, also when BTC really began to collapse from its $60,000 high. So it really demonstrates how much the BTC was benefiting from low-interest rate / inflationary policies.

- hajile 4y agoInflation numbers for December of 2021 were 6.8% CPI and 9.6% for wholesale (way higher when you look at goods only rather than services). CPI was nasty for most of June 2020 to June 2021. It's just that fewer publications were picking up the story yet. https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/cpi_07132021.pdf https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/cpi_07132021.pdf
