💵 The Dollar Has Lost 97% Of Its Value & Nobody Blinks

Here's a number that should stop you cold. Since the Federal Reserve was created in 1913, the U.S. dollar has lost roughly 97% of its purchasing power. A $3 item back then would cost you about $100 today. Put simply, one dollar buys almost nothing compared to what it used to, and that slow bleed has been happening the entire time, quietly, in the background, for over a century.

This is the single most important lesson in all of investing, and most people never learn it. Holding cash over the long run is one of the worst things you can do with your money. Cash doesn't sit still and hold its value. It melts. Every year inflation quietly shaves a little more off what your dollars can buy, and over decades that adds up to almost everything.

Here's the mind-bending part that reframes how you should see the whole market. When you hear that home prices or stock prices are "going up," ask yourself a better question: are those things actually getting more valuable, or is the dollar they're priced in getting worth less?

Take a house that cost $500,000 in 2020 and jumped to $700,000 by 2022. Did that house get 40% better? It's the same house, now two years older, with the same walls and the same roof. It didn't gain value. The dollar lost value, so it simply takes more dollars to buy the same thing. A lot of what looks like "growth" is really just the measuring stick shrinking.

• 📉 The dollar is the melting ice cube. Down 97% since 1913, cash is guaranteed to lose value over time, not by accident but by design.

• 🏠 Assets aren't always "going up." Often the asset holds its value while the dollar falls, which just makes the price tag bigger.

• 🥇 The proof is in gold. The Dow-to-gold ratio peaked near 43 at the dot-com top in 1999-2000. Today it sits around 10, meaning stocks have actually lost enormous ground versus gold over the last 25 years, even while looking like they went "up" in dollars.

That last point is the kicker. Measured in dollars, the stock market looks like a rocket since 2000. Measured in gold, real money that can't be printed, stocks have gone backward. The dollar chart is lying to you and the gold chart is telling the truth.

The Munch Take: This is the whole reason we keep hammering the same message: you have to own assets. Stocks, real estate, gold, Bitcoin, the specific mix is up to you, but sitting in cash for the long haul is a slow, guaranteed way to lose. The dollar was designed to lose value, and 97% over a century is the receipt. Own things that can't be printed or get left behind.

3 stocks tied to a possible $2 trillion listing (Ad)

$2 trillion. That's what the Financial Times says investors are attaching to Anthropic's expected October listing — the largest public debut ever, ahead of SpaceX. Goldman, Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan are underwriting.

The catch: pre-IPO shares aren't on the table outside Silicon Valley. So Good Morning Alerts' analyst found a workaround — 3 tickers already trading with real ties to Anthropic's growth, plus a bonus 4th name.

Once the S-1 files, related names reprice fast.

CHART OF THE DAY

🚀 Bitcoin Is Flashing A Bullish Signal

Speaking of hard money that can't be printed, we've been bullish on Bitcoin for months now, and something interesting is happening on the charts. Bitcoin is about to flash what traders call a "golden cross" for the first time in 474 days, expected to confirm around September 11. It's one of the oldest and most-watched bullish signals in all of markets.

Here's the plain-English version. A golden cross happens when Bitcoin's average price over the last 50 days climbs above its average over the last 200 days. In simple terms, it means recent buying momentum has gotten strong enough to potentially flip the longer-term trend from bearish to bullish. Traders have watched this exact signal across stocks and commodities for generations, and it tends to grab attention when it fires.

• 📈 The track record is real but mixed. Bitcoin has flashed 12 golden crosses since 2012, averaging a 24.9% three-month gain. The last three specifically preceded rallies of 50%, 45%, and 60%.

• ⚠️ It's not a guarantee. Only 3 of those 12 crosses held for a full year, and the signal has sometimes reversed within weeks, so this is a tailwind, not a promise.

• 💰 The money is showing up too. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs just pulled in $3.8 billion over three weeks, their strongest inflow stretch of 2026, adding real fuel behind the chart pattern.

The Munch Take: We're currently up about 23% on our Bitcoin position, which we've been talking about openly for several months now. This golden cross is a nice tailwind, but let's be honest about what it is: a lagging signal that works more often than not, not a crystal ball. We're not adding here just because a chart pattern lit up. We built this position patiently over months, and now we're happy to sit back and ride it. Hard money that can't be printed, catching a bullish signal, in a world where the dollar keeps melting. That's a setup we're comfortable holding.
