You may be asking which is the next world reserve currency? 🤔

That seems very unlikely.
I can actually see it becoming the way Westerners and Russians exchange money given the current political situation, but I don't see any nation trusting their financial future in Bitcoin given how volatile it is. Especially since it's not been tested against large scale manipulation by a hostile foreign power.
Why would it be used as a means of exchange between the west and Russia?
To evade sanctions on trade. However monero would be better suited to this since there is no need to pass it through mixers to anonymise it.
It already is, and it's useful cus you don't need to have an account with the central bank of either country to send or receive it, unlike normal currencies. Since there are so many sanctions going on rn it's one of the currencies accepted by Russia for their oil I believe.
That being said, I can't see it being used as anything more than a way to send money between segregated economies. Russia's not going to adopt it as a main currency, it'll basically be a larger scale version of what White nationalists do where you buy it, send it, and the the reciever cashes it out immediately.
Why not?
