I don’t think the USA will have the political stability to ultimately allow the adoption of an alternative.

"Stablecoins" exist and are among the most popular cryptos 1.

the new King is quite likely to ban it

Trump literally has his own stablecoin 2, not to mention other crypto grifts.

At the end of the day capitalism is a grift regardless of the food chips used.

So he'll probably ban OTHER stablecoins to get a monopoly, and probably have the government sign a 10 years long binding contract with his own business.
