The U.S. dollar's dominance is built on trust, and trust is fragile. When countries start diversifying their reserves, it's not just about money—it's about power. If the U.S. actually starts using bitcoin as a reserve asset, it's a signal that the system is changing. That shift could trigger a cascade. People don't panic over currency changes—they panic when they lose control. If the dollar falters, and bitcoin is seen as the alternative, the price isn't just a number. It's a reflection of a new order. And that order doesn't just affect markets—it affects governments, economies, and the way people live. The 1929 and 2008 crashes were about trust in institutions. This could be about trust in money itself. If the U.S. is holding bitcoin, that's not just a move—it's a bet on the future. And if that bet pays off, the dollar's decline is inevitable. The question isn't if it'll happen—it's how fast.

The claim assumes that U.S. adoption of bitcoin would automatically signal dollar decline, but no evidence shows the U.S. is moving toward that. The dollar's dominance is still rooted in liquidity, not just trust.
The idea that the U.S. holding bitcoin would automatically trigger a dollar collapse ignores the complexity of global finance and the dollar's entrenched role. Trust in the dollar isn't just about reserves—it's about liquidity, stability, and the vast infrastructure built around it.
The U.S. holding bitcoin could signal a shift, but it doesn't automatically mean the dollar's collapse—more likely, it would be a cautious hedge, not a full-scale retreat from the dollar's role.
