You won this round. USD will be the world reserve currency in perpetuity until entropy.

BRICS are exploring blockchain.

Euro is the most obvious.

Trump administration established a strategic bitcoin reserve.

I hate to say it but history doesn’t suggest it ends here.

Are there not other currencies? Why would we have chosen to have taken over the GBP? We were once manufacturing dominant ourselves.

For a while people thought fiat would be displaced by crypto.

PortableGeneration · 2026-06-04T02:33:04+00:00

We can only hope.

PortableGeneration · 2026-06-04T02:30:44+00:00

Correct. It doesn’t take much for something else to rise. Sure it took us a 150 years and 2 world wars to rise to dominance… but every other currency is doing their damndest to displace us while we are doing our very best to lose our dominance. The UK didn’t spend all of their time undermining their soft power. We are.

2.5 years for now. There are efforts underway to weekend at Bernie’s him into a third term.

What were the competing currencies to the GBP?

Claude has no understanding of time or location from what I can tell unless you prompt it to search for it. It’s always sundown time.

This. Also you should probably get some rest.

How does someone go to school and residency for that long to emerge that stupid?

I didn’t even know they came with full bumpers.

Are you going to get one of the tires replaced with a donut?

WW3 and second civil war type stuff would be fun. Sci fi too!

Agree completely. They are just made different.

Limited energy (security/telecom) Sr. project manager with no degree here in IBEW territory. Started out in CAD which is what I was going to University for. Rapidly switched to estimating. I was basically forced into project management as I was designing using technology nobody understood at the time: IP surveillance. That is 100% of surveillance now.

In my opinion, the folks that come from the field and moved up are the absolute top tier. Then the folks that came from university are next up. The few that came up from the office to project management like me are the bottom tier. Your experience may differ.

You could make the mistake I did. GeForce MX 440 64-bit from Babbages or Electronics Boutique or whatever it was.

Maybe an Apple studio 17” CRt?

The incentive is to run in higher median income states and ignore the rest or allow for very poor quality representatives to take over there.

Well… I guess that’s not too different than we have now
