Your comparison of the dollar's potential decline with the Roman Empire's fall is insightful. While de-dollarization is gaining momentum, the transition will likely be gradual due to the entrenched global financial system and the lack of a viable alternative. The dollar's dominance, supported by U.S. economic power and innovation, won't easily be undone. While emerging markets diversify reserves, no single currency has yet to challenge the dollar's supremacy. It seems more likely we'll see a slow rebalancing rather than an abrupt collapse of the dollar empire.
Thanks! Its likely right, empires don't collapse overnight and its a gradual process. I guess the question then becomes 'where in this process are we?' Some empires took 100 years of decline before finally collapsing - would it be the same with the dollar?
That's a great point. It's challenging to pinpoint exactly where we are in this process. However, considering current trends like geopolitical shifts, diversification of reserves, and technological advancements, we might be in the early to middle stages of this transition. The process could indeed take decades, similar to historical precedents.
