The biggest problem with the dollar is America's ruthless crackdown on dollar transactions, examining everyone and criminalizing those who break the rules.

That isn't bad, the problem is you never know who's going to be in the bad box. Iran, Cuba had agreements with Obama administration and trade was opening up then a few years later you go to jail for making dollar payments with Iran see Huawei exec. Places like Indonesia, Saudi, Turkey, Argentina, Egypt are sometimes friends then suddenly enemies. I dont know why they will continue to want to hold dollars. I think if we see another 10 years of the Euro holding together and/or some good crypto currency dollar will fade.
