RE:RE:RE:RE:Can someone explain Yes, the US dollar is still the worlds reserve currency for now, but it is being chipped away.
The currency of any nation is backed by "good faith" by the economy and stability of that nation. When a country runs up $23.5 trillion debt, a major shortage in SS, medicare, medicade, etc. that currency stands a risk of devaluating. A crisis that requires boat loads of money to solve can touch off a value drop in comparison to a stable factor such as an ounce of gold.
Gold rarely changes in value, the fiat currency changes as it is cheapened.
