The Hidden Force in Crypto: The US Dollar
If you're outside the US, you still need to watch the dollar—because in crypto, everything is priced in USD.
That works—until the dollar starts to weaken.
So far in 2025:
USD Index has dropped nearly 7.5%
The Euro is up almost 9% against it
Let’s say you held $BTC since January:
In USD terms, you're down ~14%
In EUR terms, you're down ~20%
In BTC terms? You're even.
This isn’t new. Fiat currencies always shift in value.
But the USD has been artificially strong—economists say it's been overvalued by 20–30% for decades as the reserve currency.
Now that system is starting to change.
What replaces it isn’t clear—but the dollar losing value over time looks increasingly likely.

Takeaway:
If you’re serious about crypto—
Watch the dollar, not just the charts.
And maybe start thinking in Bitcoin terms.
