I think Washington's handling of the Iran situation is more important. The oil supply agreements with Iran and Saudi Arabia led to the US dollar taking over from Sterling after the Second World War. Russia seems to have taken over OPEC, and Venezuela and Iran are likely to side with China to allow the Renminbi to replace the Dollar. A government backed "crypto" is likely to be more popular than FaceBux, especially as Facebook seems to be on the skids at the moment, as a result of their censorship.
This is my opinion, and don't forget that I believe that Satoshi is/was a department in a central bank.
I kinda agree with your opinion esp. the tension between Iran/China-US tension in economy trade. And facebook plans to creat their own digital money and partnered with several huge companies such as Visa, Mastercard, Ebay, Uber and etc. This is my opinion, and don't forget that I believe that Satoshi is/was a department in a central bank.
