...and because it's worth less, when I trade it to a currency that I can use, I get less money in return.
Honestly, this argument is nothing but semantics over what "money" actually is. This is precisely the reason I didn't want to argue it. You telling me that by some definition I haven't actually "lost" anything does not help my actual situation; it doesn't change the fact that I have less money in my wallet, and it doesn't make me feel better about the situation.
Can we perhaps discuss something else now?
I suppose that I too have not lost any money, despite my accounts being 5 digits lighter in USD than they were last Thursday - no currency exchange required.
