>The USD is one of the tools the United States uses to exert control

Why should we "exert control"? Maybe if folks didn't think they needed to build a bunch of aircraft carriers they'd stop building coal plants.

We should adopt a second strike nuclear policy, decommision our silos, and shift to an array of submarine and other movable launchers for a smaller set of nuclear weapons rather than the old cold war model, now that we live in a multipolar world.

Okay, but Bitcoin won't make that happen.

We didn't build nukes because we wanted to protect the USD, it was a fight about ideas like Communism, national control, etc...
