Therefore, the dollar is worth 3.8% less than it was one year ago. Gold is worth substantially more, this does not mean dollars are devalued by the amount that gold went up. If you insist that gold doubling means dollars halved, I will not engage with you further.

Currencies are a unit of exchange and a unit of account. A currency that appreciates in value is bad, it encourages hoarding currency. Money changing hands is good, look into ‘velocity of money’.
If you want to preserve value long term then buy land, gold, stocks, crypto, bonds, and other assets.
> The U.S. Dollar Index (USDX, DXY, DX, or, informally, the "Dixie") is an index (or measure) of the value of the United States dollar relative to a basket of foreign currencies,[1] often referred to as a basket of U.S. trade partners' currencies.[2] The Index goes up when the U.S. dollar gains "strength" (value) when compared to other currencies.
