      Gold. It’s a real asset that does really well when the dollar does poorly. In addition, it’s a safe haven for geopolitical risk, which is growing.

          Not enough to go around is what makes it valuable, lol.

          I suspect when id dollar falls significantly, Bitcoin will collapse. There has been a rise as people look to hedge the dollar but there has not been enough turbulence to really make people feel a pinch, yet. All the pinch has been market internal than international. Tariffs and people offloading dollars may change that but it’s a slow car crash.

          Saying that, I thought people would exit us dollar and expected Aus dollar to rise, given it is a surrogate for China, economy wise, but a western country.

              Oryes, I get that. The way you wrote it, it seemed like the scarcity was why you thought it couldn’t be used as a currency reserve. It still is but in much lower amounts.
