really weird how you go on and on about inflation and arbitrary money printing 

but then act as if USD prices are actually a measurement of value

and the price of exactly nothing is denominated in gold
so you have no idea if the value of gold is constant or not
thats a statement of faith, not fact.

all prices are denominated in USD these days
The prices of commodities are indicators of how many dollars are chasing those commodities 
iow speculative interest
