I don't disagree, but want to note that the threat from bitcoin to the dollar comes not directly from corporations jumping in or the price going through the roof, but rather from transactions increasing. One will most likely lead to the other, but at the moment bitcoin transactions are minuscule compared to dollar transactions. So I think there is some yet time for the dollar to fight back...

125.5 million credit card usages a day in just the US in 2018 (so not including dollar transaction around the world, cash transactions, bank transfers, paypal, and all other forms of making dollar transactions.)

versus

350 thousand bitcoin transaction a day world wide and the vast majority are likely just trading and not actual purchases

charts.bitcoin.com

So the question is how long will the US wait to start fighting back...when bitcoin hits 25 million transaction a day or 50 million or 100 million or ? Which may not happen until after Visa, Mastercard, PayPal etc. have made bitcoin based transactions available to their customers...
