What does that even mean? What will it be replaced by crypto? Time? Blood?

If currency is replaced by something other than currency the entire geopolitical and economic landscape we understand will be irrelevant and no longer are we talking about the same topic.

Otherwise, because that's how our economy has grown to work.

You're not asking a real question, you're overloading the question with a what if rabbit out of the hat, bigfoot nonexistent bullshit.

It's just really not happening, the USD is locked in.

All this tells me is that you haven't understood anything I've written here. Neither is this about which currency I use to buy groceries or which one you use to buy gas. This is about how international transactions between different countries and different national currencies are settled.

I never said currency will be replaced with some undefined non-monetary thing. I said that one currency (USD) will be replaced with many on the international stage. In fact it's already happening.

There is, believe it or not, a vast array of possibility between a single hegemonic currency linked to a single global hegemon and no currency at all. How do you think international trade worked for a couple centuries before the US organized its dollar to be the world reserve currency?

I agree that dedollarization will change our economic and political paradigms. I agree that a lot of the ways in which we think about these things today will be irrelevant in the dedollarized future.

If you're interested in how we got to where we are today, I recommend Michael Hudson's work.
