Everyone wants dollars. Everyone needs dollars. The United States Dollar cannot be left alone to die. It needs to be saved by all means necessary because the entire world economic order depends on it and most people have no idea until you start to travel globally, to remote villages in Mexico, Kenya, or Pakistan. Everyone knows what it is, everyone knows it has "value" because it has become an international language of trade. The US Dollar is treated better than gold in some places. Many people save in the USD. This system needs to survive until a viable solution is found, not sure if a solution will be found, but for now, its the best thing we have... If we let it die, the entire global economy will implode and I have not had the imagination yet to run what that actually means because it is a frightening thought. Save in gold, consider land, but first research and learn about bitcoin, and make your decision accordingly. Signal, not noise!
