Good question....
I can't answer cause we have bitcoin now
Discussion
My great hope for Bitcoin (outside of the pure monetary fidelity it can provide) is that it leads to a revolution in nuclear technology adoption.
You could have a sovereign city with nuclear reactors and baseline Bitcoin mining on it - nation states won’t make much sense in that world which goes hand-in-hand with killing off fiat.
This should/would have been the natural course had we not gone so far off track in the 1970s. Think about the lost time / production. Where we could be now.
