Using the benchmark of the U.S. Dollar Index, a comparison against a basket of major currencies, the dollar gained 8.3% throughout the year. But, the best performing currency in 2015 was not the dollar. Bitcoin staged a late comeback in 2015 to overtake the dollar by a whopping 35% by the end of the year. http://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2016/01/bitcoin-won-the-2015-battle-of-the-currencies/

  That's kind of a specious achievement. The dollar is designed to be inflationary so that it incentivizes investment. The dollar is not an asset designed to appreciate.
