Cool. You found the one currency the dollar had a lot of fluctuation against in the past week. Good job. Too bad it's the dollar and the euro whose values are the ones that generally match each other and how it's usually measured.

Also too bad I gave you lots of weeks and you gave me one.

Go ahead and let me see your source though. Here's mine:

It's already significantly changed percentagewise since I posted that screenshot from less than an hour ago. It's now +1.9%. Even the dollar vs. the yen did not change that much in less than an hour.

This is a ridiculous hill to die on. This is such a known problem with Bitcoin that stablecoins had to be invented.
