The dollar isn't going anywhere as long as it's used to BUY BITCOIN!

Smart guy. When you buy ~~bitcoin~~ dollar with ~~dollars~~ bitcoins you stimulate ~~bitcoin~~ dollar and depress ~~dollars~~ bitcoins. Marginal, you can't measure it but it is there.

FTFY

Well we can play that game all day.

That's the point. When Bob spends dollar to buy Bitcoin from Al, Al spends Bitcoin to buy dollar from Bob.
When a coin is bought, it is (at the very same time) sold.
Basics which many of our esteemed financiers fail to grasp.

Yes but if Bob didn't have any bitcoins and is willing to pay a higher price than the previous sell, it's positive for Bitcoin and new money is coming on the market.
