answer:No, and there’s no evidence of “increasingly worthless money.” Statements like that show a misunderstanding of what money is. Money is a medium of exchange to store value and reduce transaction friction. The value of money, though, comes from the strength of the economy upon which it is based. And the US economy is strong. Just yesterday, Forbes announced that the current administration had done more for job growth than any administration in the last 40 years. Why hoard gold or silver? You can’t eat either of them. And if the economy collapses, they won’t do you any good.
