Wouldn't the US become more desperate to hold onto its influence in oil producing regions and do so with violence? don't see why "wow, everybody is starting to use BTC rather than USD for oil transactions" would lead to "guess we don't need this aircraft carrier" instead of "time for some coups to install governments who will do what we want and not switch to BTC".



I don't advocate that theory. Previous transitions in reserve currency status led to literally worldwide military conflicts.

May Satoshi save us all.
