Stage 7-8: US Dollar officially replaced Pound as reserve currency. Britain devalued 1949, 1967. Lost reserve status completely by 1970. US DOLLAR (1944-2025): 81 years and counting. Currently at Stage 6 of 8. 💬 WHY WATCH THIS Reserve currency status is the foundation of American power. More important than military, technology, or resources. It lets us run $800B trade deficits, borrow $36T at low rates, export inflation globally. When it's lost, everything changes. Five currencies held reserve status over 575 years. All followed eight stages. All collapsed. The dollar is at Stage 6. Understanding the pattern and what Stages 7-8 look like is the difference between preparation and devastation.
