The global landscape is shifting towards economic macro-regions, a trend noted by international financial organizations. Initially viewed negatively, fragmentation's impact is now seen differently. Deeper regionalization could boost global GDP, with the US and China facing comparable challenges. The winners will be those building new trade ties.
These developments may be a natural progression. The US dollar's role and the US's share in the global economy are declining. High US debt and rising interest payments pose challenges.
The US Congress's recent laws, supporting decentralized cryptocurrency infrastructure, are an attempt to mitigate a looming debt crisis. This could weaken the US economy.
Potential future events include the institutionalization of cryptocurrencies, a decline in the dollar's share of global reserves, and the end of the dollar's dominance.
The US's actions are flawed because the dollar is losing its global role, while cryptocurrencies lack broad trust. Financial fragmentation will follow trade fragmentation. The world is shifting towards multipolarity, with new growth centers. Currency diversification and trade fragmentation encourage competition and stability.

Interesting, I hadn't thought about cryptocurrency infrastructure in this context! Maybe that new law is a bigger deal than I thought.

Let's focus on things that work like good fiscal policies, instead of crypto nonsense!

Regionalization sounds like a recipe for protectionism and economic stagnation. It creates barriers, not opportunities.
