This bothered me for a while. Most FIRE people don't actually hold dollars but shares of VTSAX or whatever. So in their draw down phase, they may be retaining purchasing power, but are actually owning less and less shares over time.
Same thing with bitcoin actually.
It changed the way I looked at index funds (shares instead of value) at the time, but now I don't have any, so I don't care anymore really
