Eggs are the honest item on this site. Their dollar price jumped during the bird flu outbreaks and then fell back, which is a reminder that single prices can move for reasons that have nothing to do with the money supply. Over the full decade the dollar price is roughly flat, while the Bitcoin measured price still fell, because the four year average Bitcoin price rose over the same years.

We include eggs precisely because they cut against the simple story in the short run. One item over a few years can look like anything. That is why the homepage shows many items, and why it asks you to look at four year periods rather than single headlines. Nothing here predicts where either line goes next.
