Narrator (Kelvin Jasi):
The mighty US dollar — once untouchable — now stands on shaky ground. Here are 10 reasons why the dollar’s dominance might not survive the coming decades.
10. Rising US Debt
America’s national debt has crossed $35 trillion, and the more money it prints, the weaker the dollar becomes.
9. De-Dollarization
Countries like China, Russia, and Brazil are ditching the dollar in trade deals, building a world less dependent on Washington’s currency.
8. The BRICS Challenge
BRICS nations are developing their own currency alternatives — a direct threat to the dollar’s global monopoly.
7. Sanctions Backfire
By weaponizing the dollar through sanctions, the US has pushed rivals to create parallel financial systems.
6. Inflation Crisis
The cost of living in the US keeps rising, and inflation erodes the dollar’s value — both at home and abroad.
5. Loss of Trust
After the 2008 crash and endless money printing, global trust in the US financial system is fading fast.
4. Gold and Yuan Comeback
China and Russia are backing trade with gold and yuan, turning hard assets into a new foundation for global exchange.
3. Digital Currencies
From Bitcoin to CBDCs, digital alternatives are breaking the dollar’s old monopoly on global payments.
2. Global Power Shift
The world’s economic power is moving east — towards Asia and Africa, where the dollar’s reach is shrinking.
1. The End of an Empire
History shows that no empire’s currency lasts forever — from the British pound to the Roman denarius. The dollar’s fall is only a matter of time.
Narrator (Kelvin Jasi):
The fall of the dollar isn’t just about money — it’s about power, history, and change.
