It would be cool if people dropped the dollar but the problem as always is dollar has access to international markets and there's no alternative.

Euro is the fully xapable alternative.

We can already see the process in the market.

There are lots of alternatives. If you only look at Asia, they have over 10 solid alternatives that have an increasing market share at a rapid pace... And I tell you, if Asia drops the US dollar, it 'll become worthless. 4,8 billion people.
