Personally, I do not think so?

In general yes,because if most of the countries will allow the cryptocurrencies to be used by the people,it can replace the fiat and banking system which is why cryptocurrencies are created.But it will be too hard for our community to expand in most countries because the super power countries are has some regulations or limit to cryptocurrencies today,like U.S and China these countries has some influence to other small countries.

No they aren't, because cryptocurrencies have no govern authority, no infrastructure that can be used in the real world. Can be used for alternative payments, but won't be a threat to the dollar anytime soon.

The only thing that will kill the dollar, is the dollar/american government itself.

If it is a good point, but the reason why it can not replace the dollar is because the cryptomonedas are volatile, it does not have a fixed value, it is important to highlight the point

You have understood about the cryptocurrencies wrong I think. You will find the cryptocurrencies against to banks not to the fiat cashes. Example if you own your bank there is no mediator to handle the money of yours.
Then these kind of scams been done by the banks on consumers will be reduced. Actually I support to bitcoin and alts more than banks. There is no scams between the crypto transactions.

good point you mention, but remember that what makes the cryptocurrency innovative is that it is not regulated by any institution

[Dhruvv1]

For a crypto to ever become a reserve currency, there would need to be a revolution on a global scale, a war if we will against the worlds central banks 
As for a crypto making it to a reserve status which could actually threaten the dollar, I think is an impossible at least during our lifetimes.

Cryptocurrencies are unlikely to ever replace FIAT currencies, they may offer alternatives in some situations however. Even in the case where cryptocurrencies are adopted in many places I suspect that most retailers who accept them will be converting any crypto they receive in to FIAT instantly.

Nope, or at least not yet. Government-issued currencies are still needed to pay in the country's stores, to pay taxes and so on. Unless a government ever switches from its currency to Bitcoin, they can work very well in parallel. And this will not happen in the near future.
But Dollar is not used only for payments in US. And here the interesting part comes. Many things' prices are in Dollars over the world, oil is one of the most known. If such things get traded against something better than US dollar (yes, I mean Bitcoin), then Dollar will have a problem: it may get downgraded from the list of global (hard) currencies. But it's again, quite unlikely to happen in the near future. And it will not be only the Dollar in this situation - Euro and maybe Yen will be in the same situation.

TL;DR; While there are directions to think of where Bitcoin could become a threat for US Dollar, none of those have a chance to happen in the near future.

Taxes and law enforcement could be a potential threat for government authorities, but dollar has no such fear till prices reserved in banks and commodities are dollar denominated.

It has some sense of course. But crypto should pass a very hard way to become a real threat. Moreover I think that there may appear governments' protocols (for taking taxes and tracking personal activity) and regulations which will force to implement them. I suppose in this case private coins will surely be in a great demand.

Tether is backed by Dollar and its price remains the 1$ it barely hit below the 1$.moreover crypto was invented for the mean of payments and i think that it is a threat to the fiat.. but we should concerned about the acceptance of the crypto

If you're right, good argument is what I had in mind

[hlk251]

until the biggest companies accept crypto as a payment, fiat (dollar etc) can not be replaced by crypto.

above, one said a truth. crypto accepting retailer change the crypto to fiat immediately. because they have make payment with fiat.

for example: when samsung accepts the payment as BTC, then best-buy/amazon.com can accept the BTC as a payment.

until that time, crypto does not have chance against to fiat

For ar least 5 years I don't thinks it's a threat! The world is only getting used to the cryptocurrency, even though many ordinary people in doubts! In 5 years time, from today, during this period I thinks USA will definitely, if not yet allready came up with their own crypto that will replace or get tied up to the dollar! USA politicians will never let the dollar die or let the dollar to be replaced in trade, as they have strong economy and a whole world trades their products, they will make something up, I repeat if already havn't done so!

If the government considers crypto as currency then the answer is yes, because when compared with the dollar, crypto is superior in any case except the fee.

[jacafbiz]

No, it is not. People need to understand that Crypto is still an experiment and there is need to understand now that most of the FIat transactions too are done in digital form. I think there will be a place for both to exist together unless something drastic happens. The only major cryptocurrency is BTC and the volatility is enough to scare people way

[dasha_buka]

It seems to me that it poses a threat to the living currency ,as many countries will switch to the side of electronic money and cryptocurrency . This is still the future

[MaiQwaN]

It is unlikely that crypto currencies can replace the dollar in the near future. In order for this to happen, it takes a very long time. The dollar will not give up so easily.

[Rahman11]

You can use cryptocurrency in your country against dollar or other fiat currency if your countries government accept bitcoin like fiat currency other then how it's possible to destroy dollar or other fiat currency via bitcoin? but day by day many peoples want to dealing via cryptocurrency, so many countries government aware about this kind of situation.
