I'm not sure if the fall of the US economy will take down other economies. The other economies will adapt. They're already looking at adapting and working together with other economies.
they will adapt, they will have no choice. but the interim period between adaptation and collapse of the US dollar will see a massive reduction in personal freedoms and the way of life as we know it.
i suggest you look into the global reserve currency, and which countries/economies rely on it. and what happens during hyper inflation.
its not pretty. a lot of people will die as a result. supply chain collapse, civil war, loss of public services, healthcare, etc.
even a preemptive adapation will come with significant negative day to day effects.
like gold turning into lead in your pocket. but more accurately, like the 1's and 0's in your account suddenly having a lot more 0's before the 1's.
