Quote from bwolinsky:
The principal.
Every dollar printed gets lent for more through interest.
A strictly limited supply isn't enough for there to be value...
Tell that to Japan. Are you saying the Yen is not real? Japan has had negative interest rates. Getting interest on something does not make it real, it simply has carrying costs. The US Dollar is a fiat currency. By definition fiat means it has no intrinsic value, it's completely based on faith. Just like bitcoins.
