"One idea Ive been contemplating is that Bitcoin may be the key to extending western civilization. The natural trend of whichever country has the reserve currency is to inflate the money supply and increase deficit spending until it loses that advantage. The U.S. is somewhere on this journey which many have discussed including Dalio in The Changing World Order. The Yuan and Euro have their own issues and arent viable alternatives currently so the assumption is the U.S. can continue to inflate but what I think many havent considered is that people have an alternative now with crypto.
