Say the fed gets hold of enough btc that they can peg 1usd to 1000 satoshi or something, they could easily cover all usd in circulation. They probably wouldn't stop there though, instead they would probably make sure they had plenty more in reserve (clue's in the name!).
The ins and outs are probably debatable but as a broad concept I think this is totally a way to effectively switch from USD to BTC without "breaking" money for the unwashed masses, and to also 'save' the dollar.
No dollar collapse, no forced switch, no tricky technology for people to learn, fed still owns pretty much all the money (because of course they are acquiring btc all the time cheaper than the eventual rate they will peg it at. They just need enought to make sure that all the people that get 'rich' in dollar terms in the way, don't end up that *relatively* rich when compared to the fed.)
You are too 'nice' and therefore your conclusions aren't cutting edge enough.
Go and have a dream about the BRICS countries with their ever expanding GDP's all trying to tiptoe away from the dollar thus threatening it's very existence, and then US military intelligence releasing a digital currency which they control and have surreptitiously cornered from the very start, which ultimately sucks all the wealth of the BRICS nations dry and collapses their national currencies as the US puts increasing external pressure on these 'upstart' nations.
I don't know how the above could be symbolically represented in a dream, but if u come to the above conclusion, then I reckon you won't be too far of the mark.
Interesting you having a dream about the Scottish split from the UK.....I haven't made up my mind whether it is going to happen or not (I aint voting either way). Your dream kind of suggests that it might be on the cards...unless of course you just have a mad fetish about Scottish bank notes and English business's reluctance to accept them in your dream merely represents some form of abandonment/rejection issue!
