That is an insightful comment. I do believe that the reserve currency of the future is best based on an objective measure of the global GDP and individual currencies will be trade weighted. Using shipping is a close proxy for that. If I were to make a global reserve currency, I would make it equal to a weighted average of the top 30 futures contracts - including the top 5 or 10 currencies. Importantly, the weightings would be trade weighted. In other words, when you'd sign a contract to build a dam in Indonesia, you don't price it in USD; you price it in the equivalent of 100bbl of oil + 1oz of gold + 1kt of copper + 1000 USD +... This composition will change and the index is rebalanced as the weighted trade changes. Every country would then have full autonomy to plan their monetary policy and their currency would be measured against that index.
