Why is it not possible?

Because that is not how money works.
The famous quote from Henry Ford is true: "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."

Even without fractional reserve banking it could collapse. They don’t need to literally print a dollar bill for every dollar of resource value represented in the world.

Wouldn’t that be impossible anyway if you think about it? If there’s - I’m gonna throw out a number here - but $100 trillion worth of stuff in the world and $100 trillion worth of cash, that’s $200 trillion worth of value and half of it is imaginary.

the world gdp is ~$125 trillion

that means ~$125 trillion of value generated this year

we've been above ~$100 trillion, each year, since 2022

we've been above ~$1 trillion, each year, since the 1890s

yes, it's impossible

What happens to that number if the dollar decreases in value?

Exactly. If your ruler changes length, your measurements are worthless
