Definitely this is very important. The USD$ cannot stand competition, eventually it will lose out as all other fiat currencies have. It is only sustained by force. So competition must be there to solve problems equitably. That way the best will thrive, the mediocre will improve and the poor will get better. Gold has always been the standard and may likely continue to be very important. There is a micro amount of Gold in every cup of seawater, it is a natural element. Nature put it there and in just the right proportion.

In other words when the dollar is gone or worthless, everything will have to be priced in something else -- the most tradable good. Cryptos do stand a chance to establish the new Standard. But I expect volatility which is not bad, it's a natural process.
