Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong believes Bitcoin could potentially replace the dollar as the world's reserve currency if the US doesn't address its increasing national debt.
With the US national debt at approximately $37 trillion, Armstrong warns that this financial burden could lead to Bitcoin overtaking the dollar as the global reserve currency.
Concerns over the debt crisis arose after House Republicans passed a bill extending tax cuts and increasing military spending, which could potentially add over $3 trillion to the US debt.
In light of these developments, there is growing interest in Bitcoin as an anti-inflationary asset, with investors viewing it as a safer bet than the dollar amid fears of fiscal strain and inflation.
