It's hubris to assume the US Dollar will remain the world reserve currency when China will surpass our GDP in half a decade. Particularly when the USG likes to sanction everybody and our political leadership is so unstable. Overheating the money printers is the fastest way to unseat the USD.
If US oligarchs are forced to choose between BTC and a digital Yuan, what do you think they will choose? If members of the US oligarchy start accumulating BTC, they will lobby for it. (and are) Government here is controlled by the rich and serves their interests. Sometimes their interests are counter to the interests of their own countrymen and long-term US hegemony. (offshoring jobs is a great example) Furthermore we like our illusion of freedom so blanket bans fly in the face of our supposed Western liberalism. Not saying they won't try to ban BTC but it's not an easy thing to do for a number of reasons. The longer they wait the harder it'll be for them.
BTC becoming the reserve currency seems crazy and I'm not suggesting that it's likely to occur but neutral governance of said currency is a very desirable trait for everybody who isn't the country that controls that money supply for obvious reasons. The world collectively chooses which money to use, not just us. It's certainly conceivable that BTC could simply coexist and share that status with some state currency, like gold does. Gold was banned for awhile then they un-banned it. Biden's admin is just too weak to do FDR style power grabs. In 4 or 8 years it'll be too late.
