And then again, historical events usually drive current status quo.

My initial comment was a recommendation on understanding the current state of the USD as the reserve currency given historical events.

There is a good chance that these things will chance.

But the history take time to unfold. And changing the worlds reserve currency does not happen over night - especially not 10-20 years ago when cash transactions were much more predominant.

But let's continue this talk in 10-20 years and see if the USD is still the reserve currency. And if it is, if we can attribute that to some obscene political moves, like adding 100% tarifs to economies trying to exercise their free choice of currency.
