Bitcoin

While the BRICS countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – are mulling the introduction of an alternative currency to the United States dollar as global reserve money, and many people are voicing their opinion that the USD would no longer be the world standard, Bitcoin (<a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrency/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) has been touted as a substitute, and its purchasing power could be one of the reasons.As it happens, the purchasing power of the USD, which determines the amount of products and services you can buy with it, has been steadily weakening over the years, whereas that of the flagship decentralized finance (<a href="https://finbold.com/guide/liquidity-mining-definition/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DeFi</a>) asset has been sharply rising since 2010, according to the macro comparison chart <a href="https://twitter.com/seth_fin/status/1643351701007499266" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">shared</a> by the <a href="https://finbold.com/guides/finance/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">finance</a> analyst known as Seth on April 4.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/a21470d6cdcd41e2a0252e3fd2752e59.png" />Bitcoin vs. USD purchasing power.

Although BTC remains negatively correlated with the US Dollar, the correlation is now almost negligible, falling from -60% to -23% YTD.”</blockquote><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/b94f6e48345f417e96f1b4702be9889a.jpg" />Bitcoin correlation with the USD.
