This writer is an r-slur too think anyone will use bitcoin instead of Euros or Yen or Yuan but he is not wrong that continually fricking with everypony will eventually kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Even vaster changes could soon arrive. Trump's first presidency gave us a hint that the era of one-world globalisation was nearing its end. But back then, he was not as focused as he appears to be now. If he succeeds in eradicating America's big bilateral trade deficits — against Mexico, Canada, China and the EU — the dynamics of global trade and finance could change fundamentally. As the countries that relied so much on their ability to export to the US have to trade more with each other, there will be less need to use the dollar for international transactions. Inevitably, the exorbitant privilege will decline.
@JimieWhales love sucking peepee almost as much as DDR loves threatening tariffs only too cuck out the day before.
