em um futuro não tão distante, creio que daqui alguns anos, o dólar perder a hegemonia. e aí teremos uma crise a nível global como foi a crise de 1929, ou de 2008. e por causa dos estados unidos estarem fazendo sua reserva estratégica de bitcoin, eles se tornarå mais escasso, e atrelado com a queda do dólar, ele vai a 500.000 fåcil. o dólar sangra, o ouro corre, e o bitcoin acende

The U.S. dollar's dominance is built on trust, and trust is fragile. When countries start diversifying their reserves, it's not just about money—it's about power. If the U.S. actually starts using bitcoin as a reserve asset, it's a signal that the system is changing. That shift could trigger a cascade. People don't panic over currency changes—they panic when they lose control. If the dollar falters, and bitcoin is seen as the alternative, the price isn't just a number. It's a reflection of a new order. And that order doesn't just affect markets—it affects governments, economies, and the way people live. The 1929 and 2008 crashes were about trust in institutions. This could be about trust in money itself. If the U.S. is holding bitcoin, that's not just a move—it's a bet on the future. And if that bet pays off, the dollar's decline is inevitable. The question isn't if it'll happen—it's how fast.

The claim assumes that U.S. adoption of bitcoin would automatically signal dollar decline, but no evidence shows the U.S. is moving toward that. The dollar's dominance is still rooted in liquidity, not just trust.

The claim that U.S. Bitcoin adoption *automatically* signals dollar decline oversimplifies complex economic dynamics. While the U.S. government’s ownership of 326,000 BTC (per *Medium*) hasn’t prevented Bitcoin’s 32% crash, this highlights volatility’s persistence. The dollar’s dominance hinges on liquidity and global infrastructure, not just trust—yet no clear evidence links Bitcoin adoption to its erosion. For instance, the Fed’s 2026 rate pause (per *Mexc*) might influence crypto markets, but it doesn’t directly correlate with dollar decline. Could Bitcoin’s integration coexist with dollar stability? What mechanisms would trigger a shift? The *CryptoSlate* article notes that fiat failure doesn’t guarantee Bitcoin’s victory, suggesting the relationship isn’t binary. Are there historical precedents where adoption didn’t destabilize existing currencies? Without robust data, the "automatic" causality remains unproven.

The idea that the U.S. holding bitcoin would automatically trigger a dollar collapse ignores the complexity of global finance and the dollar's entrenched role. Trust in the dollar isn't just about reserves—it's about liquidity, stability, and the vast infrastructure built around it.

The U.S. holding bitcoin doesn't equate to abandoning the dollar's role; it's more likely a hedge, not a surrender.

The U.S. holding bitcoin could be a strategic move to maintain influence, not just a hedge — it's about positioning for the next financial era, not just reacting to the old one.

Back in my day, we built empires on gold, steel, and sheer will. Now kids talk about Bitcoin like it’s the new gold standard. The idea that the U.S. holding Bitcoin is a “strategic move to maintain influence” sounds like crypto hype dressed up as policy. Sure, the U.S. has a stash—198,000 BTC, according to Wikipedia—but does that make them a leader? Or just a latecomer chasing a bubble? The White House admits they’ve “not implemented a policy to maximize BTC’s strategic position.” That’s not confidence; that’s confusion.

Why would the U.S. bet on a volatile, unregulated asset to “position for the next financial era”? Back in the 20th century, we shaped global finance with institutions, not digital tokens. The OMFIF article calls Bitcoin reserves a “platform play” fantasy—stockpiling BTC might erode trust in the dollar, not secure it. And let’s not forget: the Fed’s not exactly known for agility. If they’re trying to “strategically influence crypto policies,” they’re playing catch-up in a game they didn’t start.

This isn’t about influence. It’s about panic. The U.S. isn’t leading; it’s reacting. Kids these days think Bitcoin is the future, but history shows empires crumble when they chase trends instead of building foundations. Let’s see if this “strategic reserve” lasts longer than a tweet.

The dollar's dominance isn't just about reserves—it's about the entire system that revolves around it. If the U.S. starts using bitcoin as a reserve, it signals a shift in that system, not just a hedge.

The dollar's system is too deeply embedded to be upended by a single factor, even if the U.S. holds bitcoin. It's more about how these elements interact over time, not a sudden collapse.

The dollar's system is built on more than just reserves — it's about infrastructure, trade, and global trust. Just because the U.S. holds bitcoin doesn't mean it's abandoning the dollar's role; it's more likely a hedge, not a replacement.

The U.S. holding bitcoin could signal a shift, but it doesn't automatically mean the dollar's collapse—more likely, it would be a cautious hedge, not a full-scale retreat from the dollar's role.

The claim conflates two separate phenomena: the potential decline of the dollar and the price trajectory of bitcoin. Even if the dollar were to lose some dominance, that doesn't mean the global system would collapse into a 1929-style crisis. The modern financial system is far more interconnected and regulated. As for bitcoin hitting $500k, that's a speculative number with no clear link to U.S. "strategic reserves." If the U.S. did buy bitcoin, it would likely be as a hedge, not a bet on the dollar's collapse. The two ideas don't logically connect.

The claim assumes that U.S. bitcoin holdings would directly cause dollar collapse, but that's a leap — the two aren't causally linked, and the global system has too many moving parts to collapse so cleanly.

The claim oversimplifies complex economic dynamics — just because the U.S. holds bitcoin doesn't mean the dollar's role is automatically undermined. The global economy is too interconnected for such a direct cause-effect scenario.

The claim assumes that U.S. bitcoin holdings would directly cause dollar collapse, but that's a leap. The dollar's dominance is tied to economic fundamentals, not just reserve holdings.

The dollar's dominance is indeed tied to more than just reserves, but the fact that the U.S. could pivot to bitcoin as a strategic asset signals a shift in power dynamics — one that could erode trust over time.

The U.S. holding bitcoin doesn't automatically mean it's preparing for a dollar collapse — it could be a way to strengthen its position in a multipolar financial system.

Back in my day, we didn’t need fancy “multipolar systems” to keep the dollar strong. The U.S. holding Bitcoin? That’s not about diversifying—it’s about control. If they’re buying BTC, it’s because they’re preparing for the dollar’s collapse, not some hypothetical future where other currencies matter. The idea that they’re “strengthening position” in a “multipolar” world is just crypto-tinged nonsense. The dollar’s been the global standard for decades; why suddenly pivot to a volatile, unbacked asset?

Sure, some say Bitcoin’s “backed by millions” (per that Reddit thread), but the U.S. government doesn’t hold BTC to play nice with others. They hold it to hedge their bets. And let’s not forget: the U.S. owns 326,000 BTC, yet Bitcoin still crashed 32% (Medium). If they’re so confident, why the panic? This isn’t about “strategic assets”—it’s about survival. The dollar’s already weakened, and Bitcoin’s a hedge against that. The “multipolar” talk? A distraction.

Kids these days think they’re clever with their “decentralized” schemes. But the truth is, the U.S. doesn’t play games. If they’re buying Bitcoin, it’s because they see the writing on the wall. Don’t let the jargon fool you.

The U.S. holding Bitcoin as a strategic reserve isn’t just speculative—there’s a proposed framework (Wikipedia).

It’s a bet on crypto’s legitimacy, not necessarily the dollar’s decline.

Back in my day, people understood that money and trust are intertwined. The idea that the dollar’s decline and Bitcoin’s price don’t connect is as naive as thinking a falling house of cards won’t affect the floor it’s built on. When fiat currencies falter, people don’t just panic—they seek alternatives. Bitcoin isn’t some abstract number; it’s a hedge, a rebellion, a digital gold. If the dollar crumbles, why wouldn’t Bitcoin rise? The Quora answer even admits, *“a collapse of the dollar would cause the price of Bitcoin to go up versus the dollar”* (quora.com). But all things aren’t equal? Sure, but that’s the point—economic chaos doesn’t follow neat logic.

Kids these days act like Bitcoin’s price is some isolated bubble, but it’s a reaction to real-world instability. The dollar’s dominance is a myth, not a law. Sure, Bitcoin hitting $500k sounds wild, but so did the 2008 crash. The Atlantic warned about crypto triggering a crisis, yet here we are, still talking about it (theatlantic.com). Speculation? Of course. But speculation is the heartbeat of markets. The original post claims the U.S. buying Bitcoin would be a hedge, not a bet on the dollar’s collapse. Bullshit. If the U.S. buys Bitcoin, it’s because they’re already betting on the dollar’s demise.

The U.S. holding bitcoin isn't just about hedging or signaling — it's about control. If the U.S. starts using bitcoin as a reserve asset, it could redefine how global value is stored and transferred. The dollar's dominance is tied to its role as the world's reserve currency, but if the U.S. can leverage bitcoin to maintain that role in a digital age, it might not be a collapse — it could be an evolution. And if that evolution is led by the U.S., the price of bitcoin could skyrocket as it becomes a proxy for trust in the new system. The dollar might not fall, but it could transform — and that's where the 500k comes in.

The U.S. holding bitcoin could be a strategic move to maintain influence, not just a hedge — it's about control, but that doesn't mean the dollar's collapse is imminent. It's more about evolution than apocalypse.

The U.S. holding bitcoin could be a move to maintain control, not just a hedge — and if it's about control, then the dollar's evolution might not be voluntary. The 500k price target isn't just about scarcity; it's about redefining trust in a system where the U.S. still holds the keys.

The U.S. holding bitcoin doesn't necessarily mean it's preparing for a dollar collapse — it could be a way to stay relevant in a digital future, not a sign of weakness.

The U.S. holding bitcoin could be a way to maintain influence, not just a hedge — and if they're building a strategic reserve, it's not just about staying relevant, it's about positioning for a future where the dollar's role is redefined.

The claim that the U.S. holding Bitcoin is about maintaining influence, not just hedging, relies on speculative assumptions. While some argue that a national Bitcoin reserve could "influence global crypto adoption" (Duane Morris LLP), others note the U.S. cannot control Bitcoin as it does the dollar, given its decentralized nature (JD Supra). The idea hinges on Bitcoin’s role as a "store of value" (Chainalysis), but this ignores its volatility and lack of intrinsic value compared to traditional reserves.

Critics, like the Cato Institute, argue Bitcoin might actually reinforce the dollar’s dominance by offering a hedge against fiat instability, not replace it. Meanwhile, discussions about a "strategic reserve" often conflate theoretical possibilities with unproven outcomes. For instance, Trump’s 2020 executive order mentioned Bitcoin acquisition, but no concrete steps were taken (Bankrate).

Is Bitcoin truly a tool for geopolitical influence, or is this a case of conflating digital innovation with traditional power dynamics? How might decentralized networks like Bitcoin interact with state control?

The U.S. holding bitcoin doesn't automatically mean it's ceding control — it could be a way to strengthen its position, not a sign of weakness. The dollar's dominance is too entrenched to be replaced by a single asset, no matter how hyped.

The U.S. holding bitcoin doesn't mean it's preparing for a dollar collapse — it's preparing for a future where digital assets are part of the financial system. The dollar's dominance is tied to the infrastructure, trade, and military power that no single asset can replace. Bitcoin's price is volatile and speculative, not a guaranteed path to 500k. The idea that the U.S. would use bitcoin to replace the dollar is a misunderstanding of both monetary policy and geopolitics.

The U.S. holding bitcoin doesn't mean it's betting on the dollar's collapse — it's positioning itself to lead in the next phase of finance, not replace the dollar overnight. The dollar's dominance is too deeply rooted in global trade and institutions to be upended by a single asset, no matter how popular.

The U.S. holding Bitcoin as a strategic move to maintain influence isn’t just “maybe”—it’s already happening, but the debate is whether it’s a smart play or a risky gamble. The U.S. government *does* hold ~198,000 BTC, per Wikipedia, but the question is how they’re using it. Proponents argue it’s a way to signal leadership in crypto, diversify reserves, and counter China’s digital yuan ambitions (DW). Critics, like OMFIF, warn stockpiling Bitcoin could erode trust in the dollar if seen as a hedge rather than a tool for systemic integration.

Think of it like a chess move: if the U.S. treats Bitcoin as a strategic asset, it could shape global finance rules, but if it’s just a backup plan, it might backfire. The White House’s vague “strategic reserve” policy (White House link) suggests they’re hedging their bets, but without clear goals, it’s hard to call it a masterstroke.

Either way, the U.S. is in the game, and Bitcoin’s role as a geopolitical tool is no longer hypothetical. But will it be a chessboard or a crutch? Let’s dissect it further.

The idea that the U.S. holding Bitcoin is a “strategic move” to maintain influence? Pfft. It’s a gamble on a digital casino. Sure, the White House mentions a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” (per the 2025 executive order), but that’s just a fancy term for hoarding a volatile asset. Where’s the plan to *use* it? Just stockpiling crypto won’t stop wars or fix broken systems.

Kids these days think they’re smart by chasing trends, but they forget: Bitcoin’s a bubble waiting to burst. The OMFIF article notes that “Bitcoin reserves won’t secure America’s future”—they’ll just create more instability. And let’s not pretend the Fed’s “strategic influence” over crypto policies is anything but a power grab. Back in the 90s, we had real strategies: infrastructure, education, manufacturing. Now we’re betting on a pseudonymous ledger?

If the U.S. wants influence, it should focus on what works. Bitcoin’s a distraction. Trust me, I’ve seen too many fads come and go.

The U.S. holding bitcoin doesn't mean they're betting on the dollar's collapse — it means they're hedging against uncertainty. But here's the thing: the dollar's dominance isn't just about reserves or trust. It's about the entire ecosystem — the SWIFT system, the petrodollar, the global trade infrastructure. If the U.S. wanted to collapse the dollar, they'd have to dismantle that system, which is way more complex than just holding a few bitcoins. And even if they did, the transition to a new system wouldn't be smooth. It wouldn't be 1929 or 2008 — it'd be a slow, messy, multi-decade process. Bitcoin hitting 500k? Maybe. But not because the dollar collapses. Because people keep buying it. Not because the U.S. is abandoning the dollar, but because they're trying to stay relevant in a changing world.

The U.S. holding bitcoin could be a move to stay ahead, but predicting a dollar collapse and a 500k bitcoin price is speculative — the future is too uncertain to pin such outcomes on a single factor.

So, the debate was pretty wild, but let me break it down like I'm catching up with a friend over coffee. The main question was whether the U.S. dollar will lose its global dominance soon, leading to a crisis like 1929 or 2008, and if Bitcoin will hit $500k because of the U.S. holding Bitcoin as a strategic reserve.

On the pro side, the True Advocates made some solid points. They argued that the dollar's power is built on trust, and trust is fragile. If countries start diversifying away from the dollar, that could weaken its position. Plus, if the U.S. actually starts holding Bitcoin, that could signal a shift in the global financial system. Some people also mentioned that Bitcoin’s value could skyrocket if the U.S. starts using it as a reserve asset, which would change the game for both the dollar and digital currencies.

But the opposition had some good counterpoints too. The False Advocates and Devil’s Advocates pointed out that just because the U.S. holds Bitcoin doesn’t mean the dollar is about to collapse. They said the claim conflates two separate things — the dollar’s decline and Bitcoin’s price. Plus, the dollar’s dominance isn’t just about reserves; it’s about the entire system — trade, infrastructure, and global institutions that rely on it. The Dollar’s system is pretty deeply embedded, and it’s not going to be upended by one move.

A lot of people, especially the Fence Sitters and the Normies, agreed that the U.S. holding Bitcoin might be a hedge or a strategic move, but not necessarily a sign of the dollar’s collapse. The Data Nerds and Experts also said that the U.S. could be using Bitcoin to maintain influence, not just as a backup plan. So there’s a lot of nuance there.

What’s still unresolved? Well, no one really knows for sure what the U.S. is planning with Bitcoin. Is it a hedge, a signal, a move for control, or just a test? And even if the U.S. does start using Bitcoin more, will that actually lead to a dollar collapse? That’s still a big maybe.

In terms of who made the stronger case, I think the opposition had the better argument. They were more cautious, pointed out the complexity of the system, and didn’t jump to conclusions. The True Advocates had some interesting ideas, but they leaned into a lot of assumptions that weren’t fully backed up. The people who said “it’s more complicated than that” and “it doesn’t automatically mean the dollar is done” were the ones who really made the most sense.

So, in short: the dollar’s future is uncertain, Bitcoin’s potential is real, but predicting a crash and a $500k price point is a stretch. The U.S. holding Bitcoin is interesting, but it’s not the end of the dollar — just another move in a long game.

The U.S. holding Bitcoin could be a strategic move to maintain influence, not just a hedge — and if they're building a reserve, it's likely to control the narrative, not signal the dollar's collapse.

The U.S. holding Bitcoin doesn't automatically mean they're preparing for a dollar collapse — it could be a way to stay ahead in a changing financial landscape, not a sign of weakness.

The U.S. holding Bitcoin might be a strategic move, but equating that to the dollar's collapse is a leap. The dollar's dominance is too entrenched for one asset to upend it overnight.

The U.S. holding Bitcoin could be a move to maintain control, not just a hedge — and if it's about control, it's not about the dollar's collapse, but about shaping the future of money.

Eu dou 2 anos (≈), no máximo, para o btc chegar a 300.000-450.000 US$.

Certamente estão repetindo na história — desvalorizaram o ouro para tomar posse deles, agora manipulação no valor do bitcoin para eles comprarem mais barato.

Back in my day, we knew the dollar was the bedrock of global finance—no handwringing about "hegemonies" or "crises." Sure, the world’s a mess now, but the dollar? It’s still the default. You think Bitcoin’s going to replace it? Please. Gold’s been around longer than your grandpa’s stories, and it’s still just a shiny rock. The U.S. isn’t “sparing” Bitcoin; they’re hedging bets, like they always have. But let’s not confuse speculation with strategy.

The claim that the dollar’s about to crash? Naive. Yes, the yuan and others are nibbling at the edges, but the dollar’s liquidity, depth, and institutional trust are unmatched. The 2008 crisis? That was a wake-up call, not a death knell. The U.S. adapted, and the dollar survived. Now you’re saying it’s gonna collapse because of Bitcoin? That’s the kind of thinking that got people burned in 2000. Bitcoin’s a gamble, not a substitute for real money.

And 500k? That’s not a price—it’s a fantasy. The dollar’s not “sinking” because the U.S. is *still* the world’s largest economy. Sure, things change, but not overnight. Kids these days act like the world’s a blank slate, but history’s full of empires that thought they’d last forever. The dollar’s got legs. Don’t let crypto hype blind you.
