Oh yeah it's a huge stretch. I just mean that the revolution tied to etherium was chopping out the massive environmental impacts compared to Bitcoin.

Otherwise I look at it as the U.S. government owns the dollar, and it's value is directly tied to what they say it is. If the U.S. government decided to double the amount of dollars in the world tomorrow and use the money in the way they want, everyone who owns said money just saw it's value half, and only if they were on the in and in of who the federal government cared about would you possibly benefit or even make even.

"I bought a bond for $100,000 with guaranteed 4.34% interest over 10 years"

Then the government prints as much as it wants or makes decisions that could devalue the currency to its own benefit. Currency value drops by 10%, they pay you out 4.34% interest... And you lost money. Why, because the U.S. dollar lost money and much of the world hedges their bets on the U.S. staying normal.... Which the U.S. Doesn't look very normal right now.

Hell if I became president and had support in Congress I would "print" 20 trillion dollars virtual of course put it in an account and build housing for everyone in the U.S. that doesn't have it using 250k homes rotating them out every 30 years off the interest and money from that false account. It would put a shit ton of people to work, it would renovate all old homes deemed good enough to sustain people for the next 30 years and end homelessness while creating jobs or housing in areas which allows companies to expand to areas we otherwise weren't using. Solar powe, fiber, whatever can be set up all around..

Everyone else's money drops in value, but all housing and rent costs just disappeared. Jobs are abundant and stress would drop for a lot of America. The debts we owe are in U.S. dollars, everyone now owes less, a crazy stupid slate to shake things up.

Every other country/person that owned U.S. dollars, well they are just out of luck.. they just lost a lot of value.

Point is, who knows what kind of crazy shit people could do in government. If it collapsed in 1 country, not everyone who lives there should suffer because their only money is held together by that government. A universal currency is safer in that mindset.
