The dollar itself traded between 96 and 110 this year, currently down 8 percent this year. 

Excellent reporting as always @anita. I had to check and the ZiG (the currency that just replaced the Zim dollar last year) has lost 65% of its value versus the dollar in the last 12 months. And they want to make it out like bitcoin is the problem because it's down ~6%. They have no concept of what real inflation and debanking problems are like.
