Doubt.IMO we're going to move away from having a single reserve currency. Trade & holdings of USD will gradually decline & shift to regional currencies until a new economic superpower or bloc establishes itself. It's already happening in the Middle East where more & more oil is now being sold in Yuan, Rubles, and Rupees among other currencies. Same thing is starting to happen in a few other sectors where settlement is moving away from USD towards other currencies.
Problem is a lot of nations resent the way USD dominance in trade along with bullshit US foreign policies are fucking them over. As the US economic system weakens they're going to start seeking alternatives or creating alternatives of their own. We could see something like each continent or region having their own currency for local trade, then trade between regions being settled with a basket currency of some sort.
There is no benefit to having the yuan, rubles or rupees as reserves. That shit debases insanely fast.
Now Bitcoin on the other hand…
