It's hard for me to imagine any sovereign, especially China, being trusted to hold a world reserve crypto currency denominated in their fiat monetary units.


Bitcoin will not become the world's reserve currency. No government would allow a private citizen to create a reserve currency anymore than they would go back to a gold standard (as much as some want that). The Fed and other central banks are working on their own digital currency. I think we will have one in the next 10-20 years or so.



I am not sure how they could stop it. All governments are suspect and acceptance is everything. If countries start insisting on crypto payments, then they are in. And, the less fiat currencies are trusted the more likely that seems. It seems to me that world reserve currency favors one nation and it all has to do with confidence. All the other nations have a default reason to favor a neutral, non sovereign cryptocurrency reserve.


This is where the tulip bubble theory starts to run into problems.



Sorry, but you will need to flesh out your reply for me to understand it. ;-{>8
