When you stack the numbers, the U.S. Dollar starts looking pretty questionable as a store of value. Consider this: over 35 trillion in circulation with zero supply ceiling. That's quite different from assets with hard-coded scarcity. Here's what stands out—25% of the entire supply got printed in just the last half year. Meanwhile, wealth concentration is brutal: a mere 1% of holders control more than 30% of all dollars in existence. And there's only one issuing authority backing the whole system. It makes you wonder what true decentralization and transparent monetary policy could actually look like.

Wow, the dollar figures really can't hold up anymore. Printing 25% in half a year? Should I switch my US dollars into Bitcoin...

35 trillion zero ceiling, I just quietly watch how the US dollar dies --- Half a year of printing 25%? As soon as this data came out, I understood why I had to get on board --- 1% of people hold 30% of US dollars, in other words, it's just another type of leek market, just called fiat currency --- What does truly decentralized monetary policy look like? Honestly, I don't know either, but it definitely isn't like now --- This article is really hitting the nerve, no wonder I went all in --- Every time I see this kind of analysis, I become more convinced that I need to find something truly scarce to get on board --- Supply ceiling vs unlimited printing, this choice is so simple it’s unbelievable

35 trillion is not the ceiling yet; this system should have collapsed long ago.

Once this data on the US dollar is out, I can't help but laugh... 35 trillion still has no upper limit, no wonder inflation is so outrageous.
