What Would a Bitcoin Collapse Look Like?

Collapse. It seems to be a word that is becoming more and more relevant in our everyday lives. The economic collapse of Greece. The collapse of the Petrodollar. The collapse of our civil liberties and constitutional rights. And the upcoming collapse of the U. S. Dollar. There's a lot on our plate right now, but why not lay all the cards on the table?

US Dollar Left In The Dust By Bitcoin

As a follow up to my piece "Why Bitcoin Value vs The U. S. Dollar Does Matter (And Never Will)", it is necessary to understand the fate of the U. S. Dollar is set in stone. The U. S. Dollar must collapse. Fait accompli. The average American is ignorant to this fact because: 1) An ignorant American consumer is the government's best customer. If Americans knew what was going on in the global economic markets, and what Washington ISN'T DOING to correct it, they'd storm the White House this evening! 2) The U. S. has not had an economic collapse in the last 80 years; so 95% of Americans don't....
