Nobody invests IN the US dollar though. A currency is not supposed to be an investment.

    It's also pretty telling that all the crypto stuff is always measured in dollars. That said using usd does overall make money for the US by seigniorage.

    What do you mean? Currencys have always been investments.

  • currency investors do exist. i know a dude who had more money than god and thought "huh, well let's see" and now has more money than two gods because the fuck is lucky. you look for arbitrage opportunities between different currencies. i can't remember whether he just exchanges currency or buys futures or what. i think it's foolish but like i said, this guy's got more money than two gods so he's gotten very very lucky with it.
