The governmyth says inflation is decreasing and that may be true. However, averages dont lie and looking at the average price of gold, silver, and Monero from the beginning of 2023 until now all three show an average increase of 10% to 12%. Now, since gold and silver are hard assets and Monero is as good as, what does that tell you? It tells me that i have to spend 10% more than i did at the beginning of the year. Which is why i hold very little money in dollars.
