Yes, you can see it that way — but it’s worth digging deeper to grasp the full picture.
A “strong currency” isn’t just one with high exchange value. It’s a currency that has:
1. Stable purchasing power: Low inflation, stores value over time (like the USD in the 20th century, or gold historically).
2. Global trust and acceptance: People trust it, use it to price assets and trade globally (like the USD today).
3. Geopolitical backing: The U.S. enforces the dominance of the USD through military power, international law, and a global central banking network.
4. A financial ecosystem built around it: The deeper the capital markets (like U.S. government bonds), the harder it is to replace.
In short:
> The strongest currency is the one people want to hold, are forced to use, and that can’t be easily counterfeited or printed at will.
In today’s world, the USD dominates.
But in a decentralized future, Bitcoin might win — because it’s limited, transparent, and not controlled by any nation.
