the US$ will never "crash" as you put it...let me give you an example...saddam wanted to sell his oil for NOT dollars, thus encouraging other countries with oil to maybe do the same, thus bringing down the demand and indeed the value of the US$ globally...he suddenly got accused of having WMD ...

bitcoins have no army behind them...they have no government behind them...they have no law behind them...just a few suckers and some wise guys use it...there is a very clear difference between bitcoins and dollars...

simple test:

yo dirty f!

do you want one million dollars in cash right now (theoretically of course, I don't have any to offer) or one million dollars in bitcoins?

(he will say bitcoins because he cant help himself but we both know the answer)
