The trend is becoming more and more clear: the growing U.S. debt, along with a high level of volatility of the Trump Administration's political and economic decisions, make relying on the US in the world economy riskier than before. Of course, the US is still #1 Economy by GDP, the USD is still #1 foreign reserve currency, and the US is at least in the top-5 of the countries by political influence in the world.

If this continues, the structure of global reserves may slowly change. More money could move into assets like gold and, actually, like Bitcoin, which are not directly dependent on any particular state (country).

You summed it up really well. There is this feeling now that, even though the U.S. still has all the traditional markers of power, the cracks are showing. People used to take for granted that America’s position was basically unshakeable, but the unpredictable swings and mounting debt are making everyone think twice

Bitcoin is seriously in the mix as a global alternative. Even if change is slow, it’s happening more in people’s heads first, before we see the numbers really shift. The trust in traditional “safe” assets isn’t absolute anymore

If this continues, I wonder if we’ll start seeing central banks and large institutions experimenting more openly with Bitcoin or other non-state assets in their reserves, instead of just talking about it. Feels like the world is preparing, little by little, for a future where trust is more spread out

Yeah, everything is changing recently and smart people are adjusting to what really matters.

Currently the hype around American dollar is down and reality is upon us. There's no safe heaven in traditional assets anymore and people, including myself are drifting to what holds actual value now.

I've chosen Bitcoin and my small business that gives me good ROI, things you met that was trusted has little value now, you're left to use your brain and work with what has actual and current value, else you risk being sunk with the ship of former beliefs.

The move to Bitcoin and building your own business feels like the most logical reaction when the old safety nets start looking like illusions. The world’s gotten too dynamic to just lean back and expect that banks, bonds, or big currencies will always do the protecting. Like you said, it comes down to using your brain, adapting, and refusing to be anchored by what “used to work”
