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. 🙃

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.

So, what’s the takeaway? The dollar’s “I’m the best” attitude is crumbling faster than a poorly built sandcastle. 🌊 And while gold is making a comeback like a bad ex, Bitcoin is the new “cool kid” everyone’s trying to impress. 🤭
