I think NOW is a good time to drop all your US Dollars. That coin will devaluate faster than you can say it. (discoveryalert.com.au)

It would be cool if people dropped the dollar but the problem as always is dollar has access to international markets and there's no alternative.

Euro is the fully xapable alternative.

We can already see the process in the market.

Seems all those prepper-adjacent gold grifters were right all along.

I mean, they still rip you off but the basic prepper premise seems to be approaching fast.

There are lots of alternatives. If you only look at Asia, they have over 10 solid alternatives that have an increasing market share at a rapid pace... And I tell you, if Asia drops the US dollar, it 'll become worthless. 4,8 billion people.
