Hi, I just read this very interesting article on USD on morningstar.it.
"Why the dollar is weakening
“The main catalyst is an apparent repatriation effort by European investors, who are selling USD-denominated assets and repatriating capital to the eurozone,” says Peter Kinsella, global head of FX strategy at Union Bancaire Privée (UBP).
The greenback reflects investor concerns about an impending recession. “The dollar and Treasuries are behaving like high-beta assets for risk sentiment and remain highly vulnerable to further downside. Even if the dollar bounces on any hint of positive trade news, we suspect that a broader rethink of Trump’s protectionist policies will be needed to repair the damage,” wrote Frantisek Taborsky, EMEA forex strategist at ING, in a note published Friday.

As trade wars ramp up once again, a growing number of voices argue that Bitcoin could eventually replace the U.S. dollar as the dominant store of value. And according to some analysts, this is no longer just a theoretical debate—it's becoming a real possibility knocking on the door faster than many anticipated.

📉 Markets Under Pressure, Trust in the Dollar Weakens
After Trump introduced a 10% base tariff on all imports and additional punitive tariffs targeting countries with the largest trade deficits on April 9, global financial markets shook. Investors are scrambling for alternatives, as fears of recession, inflation, and monetary instability grow.
The U.S. Dollar Index has dropped nearly 6% since the beginning of the year, while Bitcoin has fallen by 18.37%, now trading around $76,300. Yet it’s this very cryptocurrency that some see as the safe haven of the future.

💬 Bitcoin Becoming the Only Viable Option?
Jeff Parks of Bitwise Invest stated that the idea of Bitcoin outperforming the dollar has shifted “from theory to hard reality.” His colleague, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley, added that in a world of weakening currencies and rising uncertainty, there are fewer options left for investors.
“Gold is hard to transport and store… eventually, you’re left with one choice: Bitcoin,” Horsley said.

🔄 Tariffs as a Catalyst for Monetary Shift
While Wall Street expected tariffs to strengthen the dollar, the opposite occurred. The measures failed to boost the currency and instead triggered concerns over waning global confidence—accelerating conversations around alternative monetary systems.
Saifedean Ammous, author of the well-known book The Bitcoin Standard, remarked that the real issue for the U.S. isn't just with one country—it’s the overall structural dependence on money printing.

🪙 “Fake Money” vs. Hard Assets
Ammous argues that continued reliance on the "fiat printing press" is unsustainable. The solution, he says, lies in real hard money—like Bitcoin or gold.
In his words, the world should stop using "American shitcoins" (referring to weak dollars) and switch to something that can't be printed at will—like BTC.

⏳ A Tipping Point in Sight – and Bitcoin Is Ready
As global trade policy teeters and markets struggle, Bitcoin is increasingly positioning itself as a serious alternative—not just a speculative bet, but a potential financial standard for an unstable world.

"Don't trust the Fed too much!" <br /><br />
As the tariff war between the US and China escalates day by day, tensions between the two countries have led to a sharp decline in Bitcoin and altcoins.
While the market expects the Fed to start lowering interest rates as soon as possible for Bitcoin and altcoins to rise again, Wall Street giants are calling for the Fed to urgently cut interest rates.
