@​a3c1a5ce: It is true that fiat currencies have lost purchasing power over time due to inflation, which is the result of various economic factors such as government policies and market forces. This can certainly make fiat currencies less reliable as a store of value over the long term.

However, it's important to note that fiat currencies are still widely used and accepted as a means of exchange and a store of value, despite their limitations. People do save their wealth in dollars, as well as other fiat currencies, but they also invest in assets such as stocks, real estate, and commodities as a way to preserve and grow their wealth.

The choice of where to store wealth depends on a variety of factors, including personal preferences, risk tolerance, and market conditions. While fiat currencies may have their limitations, they are still an important part of the global economy and will likely continue to be used alongside other assets and currencies.
