The Bitcoin white paper doesn’t claim Bitcoin’s mission as becoming a global reserve currency—that’s just a possible outcome. Its core mission is to enable peer-to-peer electronic cash transactions without needing a trusted third party.

About 15% of bitcoin supply is held under American jurisdiction, and your arguments involve many uncertainties.

For an unbanked person in sub-Saharan Africa, the choice will be what is easiest and cheapest for them, which often is bitcoin despite owning fewer sats. They might use digital yuan or USDT temporarily, but if it inflates, they’ll move on.

The Chinese yuan’s M2 money supply is around $46 trillion USD, backed by gold, while Bitcoin is worth about one-twentieth of that. Also, a digital yuan system carries similar counterparty risks linked to government control.

Not saying that your arguments are wrong entirely, but they sound a bit doom and gloom to me.
