    I do live in America and why you think milk costs significantly more from one week to the next I don’t know. Even if the price rises, we’re talking pennies per week. Far less than Bitcoin fluctuates.

    I have no idea why you’re even trying to argue that the dollar fluctuates as much in value as Bitcoin because that’s just demonstrably false. This is the current fluctuation of Bitcoin value. If the value of a dollar changed by one percent in a day, that would be huge. Seven percent? That would be a disaster.

        Cool. You found the one currency the dollar had a lot of fluctuation against in the past week. Good job. Too bad it’s the dollar and the euro whose values are the ones that generally match each other and how it’s usually measured.

        Also too bad I gave you lots of weeks and you gave me one.

        Go ahead and let me see your source though. Here’s mine:

        It’s already significantly changed percentagewise since I posted that screenshot from less than an hour ago. It’s now +1.9%. Even the dollar vs. the yen did not change that much in less than an hour.

        This is a ridiculous hill to die on. This is such a known problem with Bitcoin that stablecoins had to be invented.
