Just to be clear about that USD tick tock clock - the USD is at no risk of losing its reserve status in the near term. There is simply too much of it around to make a dent. But come 2030s, the cracks will open much wider. The real challenge is not to the USD itself. It is the to the US government control of USD based transactions. A lot of people (and nations) are actively working to undermine that. And blockchains provide a way of doing so. If you are OPEC, selling huge amount of oil to China while importing as much goods, why would you really need the USD as an intermediary? The same goes for many other situations. It also doesn't help that the US has fully weaponized the dollar. Even the EU is miffed about that and wants a change. Here's Bob with excellent stats on the dollar: Views on the dollars future role as the lead global reserve currency differentiate serious, experienced macro folks from those who are tourists and ‘disconnected luminaries.’ The dollar isn’t going anywhere any time soon and it’s wasteful to spend time worrying about it much. pic.twitter.com/NYznGBmmqC — Bob Elliott (@BobEUnlimited) March 30, 2023
