Physical cash is typically used in face-to-face transactions, which somewhat reduces the risks. The scenarios in which a digital version of physical cash might make sense are few and far between. To suggest that such a currency could one day threaten the US dollar dominance is absurd, in my opinion.


I completely agree with you. And you're assuming that a crypto network even exists that could support that kind of transaction volume, so the reality is even more absurd.

Since I’m far from a crypto bro, I wasn’t suggesting this ;)

I don’t even own any crypto.


Sure... I was alluding to OP's comment, not yours.


My bad
