      I can go to the supermarket next week and milk will cost about the same in dollars as it did this week because the value does not change that rapidly.

      Not true with Bitcoin.

        If you live in america and you are lucky the price of thing stopped increasing perhaps it will cost the same. If you live in any other part of the world that use a different currency the price may be different

          I do live in America and why you think milk costs significantly more from one week to the next I don’t know. Even if the price rises, we’re talking pennies per week. Far less than Bitcoin fluctuates.

          I have no idea why you’re even trying to argue that the dollar fluctuates as much in value as Bitcoin because that’s just demonstrably false. This is the current fluctuation of Bitcoin value. If the value of a dollar changed by one percent in a day, that would be huge. Seven percent? That would be a disaster.
