1% purchasing power of what is was back in the day.
Not much value left to lose.
No. If it is that means groceries, eggs, gas and lumber are also crashing. Which they are not
If a $100k house is selling for $500k, then yes, the dollar is losing value.
For millions it’s already crashed...Those people on fixed incomes or social security have been decimated over the past 4 years and have been had a huge pay reduction, I’d guess 35% of their buying power is now gone! They’re screwed!

Crashing against the Ruble. Jan 2, 2015 - 113 Rubles to buy a dollar. August 30, 2025 - 80 Rubles to the dollar. So Russia appears to have a stronger currency than the dollar at this point. It’s outperformed the Dow so far this year.
Against the Euro this year - $1.04 to buy a Euro on January 1, $1.17 to buy a Euro today.
Is the Fed deliberately crashing the dollar?
After a 4 years of runaway inflation the dollar is now stable.
The media keeps saying that Biden inflation was 9%, but if that was true then how did prices double. That’s a 100% increase in prices
NO - your title crashed!
People use words like crash to represent minor drops in percentages.
The key is what are people using as the reserve currency. This requires international banks to maintain a dollar reserve to facilitate trade.
Right now there is nothing “better” in the market place. But that is not going to be the case forever. Keep an eye on trading in other currencies. When you see the dollar decline in those metrics you can start to be concerned.
In the meantime our government does a good job a debasing our currency with little external help.
Just look at the price of gold and silver since the 1970s.
Hey....I’m making 30 bucks an hour at McDonalds. Nothing has changed.....
How did the crash happen? Slowly at first then all at once.

it is a pretty fast descent, has been for several years
