I don’t doubt the crypto bros would love to do this, but even a whisper of this seriously happening would put the markets into a tailspin, and Jamie Dimon in the Oval Office hoisting Trump up by the lapels threatening him with instant impeachment- remember, if the dollar becomes worthless there will be no contributions to politicians, and the pitchforks and torches will be in the streets.

The bigger risk will be when Powell’s term ends in 2026, IMO.
