Something worth thinking about... 1. Eventually the world will adopt a single currency. 2. Eventually there would be a single world leader/government at some point in the future. 3. Everything that's happening is only setting the stage for the above things to happen. Do you think the future single world currency would be a cryptocurrency or some other variant of digital currency? #Cryptocurrency

2nd is the reason I personally hate crypto... and I want fiat to survive.
Wow, that's an interesting opinion. Why do you want to continue to allow governments to print money "out of thin air"? Do you work for a bank or government? What vested interest do you have in keeping the current world banking system going, where the very wealthy are basically able to steal money from everyone else? Seriously, I'm not trying to insult you in any way. I'm just curious. I know people who prefer precious metals, or other commodities, (copper encased lead, for example!), over cryptocurrencies, or even owning real estate or stocks, (which is owning a portion of a company), but I don't know anyone who seriously wants fiat to survive. How is fiat going to prevent the centralization of power?
Of your three points, the only one I have a strong opinion on is the eventual dominance of Communist China over the rest of the world. IMHO this isn't a pleasant future to look forward to, but I don't see the will on the part of any of the western nations to resist this. Our leaders can be bought out too easily, and besides, if somehow the nations of the world united to oppose China, it would only be a matter of time before another dangerous virus "escaped" from a Chinese lab. Oddly enough, I think the only hope for the world at this point is Vietnam. The Vietnamese have had centuries of practice fighting off invading empires. They won't go down without a mighty fight.
