      Why is the only place I ever see this called out sketchy websites pushing bitcoin and silver bars for sale? If this was real, and impactful, I’d expect to see multiple in-depth articles on The Financial Times, Bloomberg, and/or Wall Street Journal. Instead the closest references are in 2023 then 2021 and none of them talk about impending doom, but instead the challenges of nations were they to try to settle petroleum transactions in any other currency. In short, nobody else’s currency holds its value well enough so the only ones wanting an alternative are those that are trying to avoid US Sanctions, which is a fairly small group.
