Hello, everyone! I’m curious to hear your thoughts on my following assumption—whether it could be possible or not. As you may know, there’s a proposal in Congress suggesting that the U.S. should purchase 200,000 #bitcoins per year, aiming to reach a reserve of one million bitcoins. At the same time, #Trump has expressed interest in buying Greenland and possibly Canada. Now, let’s imagine the following scenario.

Let’s imagine the following scenario: the U.S. buys #Greenland, agreeing on the terms and paying billions of #dollars to #Denmark. Similarly, let’s assume the same happens with #Canada. The idea here is that a massive amount of U.S. dollars flows out of #America into the global economy, into other countries.

Now, by that time, having accumulated a significant reserve of bitcoins, the U.S. abolishes the dollar and transitions to #Bitcoin—or at least, for international trade, they begin demanding payment for all goods and resources in Bitcoin. Meanwhile, the U.S. continues using the dollar to pay for imports into the country.

This creates a situation where the global economy is flooded with U.S. dollars that are no longer used domestically. As a result, the inflationary pressure of the dollar shifts to the rest of the world, becoming their problem. The U.S., now operating on Bitcoin, uses its reserves to demand payment for resources and goods in Bitcoin. Other countries are then forced to acquire Bitcoin, either by exchanging their surplus U.S. dollars—which the U.S. no longer accepts—or by paying for Bitcoin directly.

In this way, the surplus of dollar liquidity and the associated burden shifts to other countries. What do you think? Could such a #scenario realistically occur?

And anyway, the U.S. will eventually have to deal with its external debt somehow. Sure, they can keep printing money, but the whole world is already complaining about inflation—they need to do something about it. And now they seem to be pushing the Bitcoin narrative.

I don’t know if you remember, but back in the 2000s, there was a legend about a secretly developed replacement for the dollar called the Amero. Maybe they were really brainstorming something, or perhaps conspiracy theorists invented the story. But for some reason, I feel like Trump sees and wants to implement something similar—just with Bitcoin.

They currently have an inflation problem, and this could be the perfect scenario: taking all the printed money, essentially created out of thin air, and using it to buy Bitcoin—a currency that no one can print more of than already exists. It’s an excellent way to pay off the world with dollar "monopoly money" and then quickly shift to Bitcoin.

When they do this, Bitcoin’s price will skyrocket, and they’ll hold massive reserves. If they then demand Bitcoin as payment for exports and ensure they can later buy goods with Bitcoin, they’ll set themselves up very well.

No. US has to pay debt internally, too.

I bet you 10 000 Sats that none of the three is going to happen in next four years
