Greedy and lazy. Haha. Perfect description.
Directly after Bretton Woods, an economist reported the US would incur huge deficits from becoming the reserve currency. I'm not sure if the government didn't care or decided they only wanted to hear from the "yes, sirs," but fortunately, deficits aren't a problem. Technically, the US can buy any resource it wants, but it only spends money on shit that makes rich people richer. It's a shame we don't have a government for the people. Our quality of life could be so much better.
During the pandemic, the Fed digitally pumped billions and billions into foreign central banks to uphold and supply the demand for the dollar. Globally, businesses turned to the USD for security, and I don't think a transition away from the dollar will happen any time soon. The US isn't stable, but the wealth is.
So, if Bitcoin was our currency and I buy eggs daily, would the fluctations in Bitcoin's value impact the cost? Although governments never plan for the future, what would happen when the last Bitcoin is mined (if it was their nation's currency)? How would governments generate the funds for investments?
