Of all the years in which you could make this argument, this year is probably the worst.

In the "well functioning democracy" U.S. You have:

- Mistrust in institutions

- An insane asset inflation bubble fueled by the biggest fiat printing spree ever

Sure, the state hasn't failed. But are you really surprised people want to expose themselves to a new paradigm with different fundamentals for money and finance, this year?

And if the US fails, don't you have quite a lot bigger problems than the currency over there?

Good luck paying for things with cryptocurrency-of-the-day without electricity. Or without authorities to call if your trading partner pulls a gun on you. But I'm sure the American solution is a diesel generator and an even bigger gun ;-)
