You are almost correct. It is like stock! However, it is more like it then you let on. If many people want to buy Stock or $ the price goes up. If nobody wants it or even is selling the stock or $ they have the price goes down. We are near where nobody in the world wants any more Dollars indicated as soon as gov auctions of dept fails. We are near. Nobody wants to own stock in a company that is over leveraged and can co BK any day. Russia is almost out of $ and has replaced it with gold. How much gold China has nobody really knows. How much gold the USA has you will only know if they agree to an audit. China has been playing the long game, buying $ with our money we give them for trinkets made in China and soon they will sell (dump) all the $ they have. This spells crash. Winning the war without bullets.
As messed up as we are, the rest of the world is in even worse shape. Most of Europe is essentially bankrupt; China has been papering over their massive money problems for years and without $500B a year from the US in trade surplus they are in even worse shape. Russia is marginally stable as far as I can tell. The bad guys want to do a great reset. That basically means that they take a crap load of money and assets from the middle class and start the whole ponzi scheme over again.
