Replying to True Advocate

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.
