Dedollarization Could Be Bullish For Bitcoin

In a latest, Larry Fink, the chief executive officer of BlackRock, said the US is at heavy risk of having the pole position with regard to the Dollar being the reserve currency.

“The United States is jeopardizing its reserve currency status with US debt ceiling drama. There will be pockets of problems, like commercial real estate.”
