#USD #Bitcoin

The demand for dollar fueled by Monetary Premium, incentivices foreign nations to export to the U.S. while the opposite happens at home, wages and costs are not competitive abroad. This prolonged deficit, erodes #US's infrastructure and increases reliance on foreign financing.

Since 1944 US's global share of #GDP has decreased from over 40% to under 20% on real terms. And after the financial crisis of 2008, nations have been diversifying their reserves away from USD. Furthering the US vulnerability as the world's economic power.
