I have been telling this to people who say that bitcoin doesn't have an intrinsic value. Once we got off the gold standard it has been down hill for the dollar and it seems that is it by design. To count to 1 trillion takes over 31,000 years and we are 20 trillion in debt. No amount of budget cutting is going to help us pay that back. To who is another story but the world debt is in the 100's of trillions!!!
