sound money analysis & perspective

years for the us dollar to lose half its purchasing power in gold. useful as a single systemic decay clock: shorter half-life means faster monetary entropy. this chart is unique because inflation prints and fed speeches never state the dollar's gold half-life directly. there is no substitute for this visualization if you need a continuous, intuitive measure of fiat durability.
