The Decline Of The USD | Bridger Pennington with Joe Brown

The US dollar, we know it won't run forever. What we're doing won't run forever. I don't know if it'll end in 1 year or 20 years or 100 years. The question always comes back to compared to what? Well, we're bad, but compared to what?

The dollar is the cleanest shirt in the dirty laundry hamper, right? Typically throughout history, Ray Dalio talks about this as well, that when you get to the end of reigning power, there's a couple of things that last towards the end when everything else has kind of gone away. It's still the financial center of the world. It's still the reserve currency of the world. Um, and those 2 things kind of last the longest. And so when you find yourself asking the question, well, they're going to give up the dollar, but for what? Like there's no other alternative. That's actually a signal of it being, you know, near the end. And that could be a multi-decade period of time, but it's still not a, not a sign of strength. It's a sign of opportunity for newcomers.
