Why Bitcoin will replace US Dollar as the World’s Reserve Asset is as much a story of the United States Dollar, as it is of Bitcoin. It started when United States GDP was a third of the world’s GDP and even larger when it comes to the manufacturing sector, at the close of the second world war. World Economic Report, 1948 had a separate section on Economic Activity in the United States and other...
