The biggest news story of the last few years is the death of the US dollar.
All these other stories: gold's rise, trump's popularity decline, bitcoin, monero, inflation, biden stock boom, ect. These are all a byproduct of that.
Dollar ain't going nowhere until sound money pushes it out over decades. USD dominance has been as strong as ever. It's cooking all the other fiats even still. Gold and bitcoin prices are showing its devaluation, but that's not the metric that anyone cares about when judging fiat moneys.
