RE: US$ is Confronted by 3-Pronged Threat ~ Birch Gold Group… (Death of the Dollar–27) with Link to Full Story
I do believe that part of Dollar's market niche will disappear, but there is still a long way to go before this fiat currency disappears entirely. Obviously DC/EP is a very strong threat, as a currency, as a digital asset, even as a store of value. Even the Chinese authorities have not clarified that this e-Yuan is backed in gold, but it surely will be and it will be a terrible blow to the fiat's currencies.
I believe more that the centralized concept of a digital currency issued by a central entity is extremely dangerous for crypto's and this will be the true war scheme that we see.
You're right when you say that the dollar will not disappear entirely, at least not in the near future. It will probably survive as a minor local currency, but it's glorified status as the world's reserve currency will surely come to an end.
As for a centralized digital currency, it might be a good alternative to our standard fiat currency. But I don't think any such currency will be able to compete with a truly decentralized, deflationary currency such as bitcoin.
