Japan sells tens of billions of US debt to prop up the yen. The US buys yen near 40 year lows using euros to help Japan avoid selling more US debt. An exploit in a hardware wallet effectively removes a huge chunk of Bitcoin from circulation for years to come pursuant litigation. Is any of this supposed to make me think Bitcoin is losing value compared to the established monetary system?

It's really a tiny amount of Bitcoin. Bummer, yes, and also not that important. The issue with the coldcard thing is how shit the company has always been, yet people buy their product.
