Fully agreed. Posted a similar note too. 

Same thing for gold, real estate. Value increase yes, to a certain extent, but primarily driven by money supply increase.

When I use the same line of argument for friends and family, they revert to "observational" counterarguments like "because wages are increasing" or "because raw material prices are increasing".

All symptoms but no one can pinpoint the actual root cause.

How else can we explain this to them apart from "our money is broken?" Whats the flow of thought to bring them to the conclusion?
