Dollar’s Downfall: Bitcoin & Gold Take Over!

So, the U.S. dollar is basically the unpopular kid at the global financial party, and now even Bitcoin and gold are giving it the cold shoulder. 🤡💸 Balaji Srinivasan, the former Coinbase CTO, has spilled the tea that the dollar’s days as the “cool kid” are over. 🚨

According to this *shocking* infographic (courtesy of MoneyMetals), the dollar’s global share has plummeted to 42% in Q1 2025. That’s like losing your crown after a 30-year reign. 🏆📉 The old guard-Yuan, Yen, Franc, and gold-are flexing their new power, and the dollar? It’s looking like a sad, confused toddler. 🙃

U.S. Dollar Is Losing Its Shine

Imagine your savings account being the equivalent of a “meh” emoji. The infographic shows the dollar’s share has dropped two percentage points-the lowest since the 90s. 😱 Balaji isn’t holding back: “The dollar is losing reserve currency status,” he says, while gold is “racing back like a bad ex.” 💸

Meanwhile, the Euro’s 15% share is as steady as a rock (or a middle-aged man on a Sunday). But the real drama? Gold’s share just jumped to 24%-the highest in 30 years. 🪙✨

“Gold is now the world’s second-largest reserve asset after surpassing the Euro in 2024,” Balaji notes. And let’s not forget Bitcoin’s “digital gold” vibe, which is basically the financial version of a viral TikTok trend. 🚀

Digital gold is becoming the reserve currency of the individual.

Gold is returning as the reserve currency of the state.
