The major reason that will pave the way for bitcoin to become the global reserve asset is the fact that Bitcoin has a fixed calculating supply of 21 million Bitcoin which can not be added and this makes the currency immune to inflation.
I don’t think that Bitcoin is becoming a global reserve any time soon, there are some countries that doesn’t accept it, and we are yet to know if it’s going to be accepted worldwide. It is not just about being worth a million dollar per Bitcoin, there is a lot more that goes into being a global reserve. But, whether it’s a global reserve or not, that’s not what matters, there is something that matters more than that, and it’s all about whether you’re benefiting from it. If you’re not benefiting from something ,then no matter what it is, it’s of no use to you. So, I don’t really look at all that being a global reserve and the rest of them, as long as it’s working for me, then I’m going for it.

In my insight when it comes to this topic it will probably become true that bitcoin will replace U.S dollar as a global reserve asset its because the upcoming generation bills money or coins will remove and it will change with the e-money or lets say crypto currency like bitcoin. Some country is now a cashless society thats why its possible to happen that the whole world will become a cashless thats why covid 19 virus created to make it possible in the near future.

The world's financial problems are very complicated and solutions are needed to make world finance easy, if the world can't be united with one currency then we have a strong community to make the world accept bitcoin, that is our long term hope so bitcoin can solve global financial problems.

bitcoin replaces US dollar as global reserve asset,?? I don't think this will ever happen because Crypto Assets are very volatile - look at bitcoin - and because they are not really useful as a store of value, bitcoin is not backed by anything. They are more of an asset for speculation.Between the tug of war central digital bank currencies and cryptocurrencies There are stable coins. These tokens counter the volatility seen in cryptocurrencies by tying up the value of more stable assets such as government-issued currencies.

The main point of invention of bitcoin was decentralised P2P payments without any third party intervention and all this happening on a trusted network with security without any double spend issue and bitcoin solved this.But why we are we always speculating that it will replace fiat and used as reserve assest? The more adoption will increase when government regulates it and people use it as normal payment system like fiat over LN to avoid any fees related issues and making as many possible transactions.This is how we need to think of bitcoin and not as government will back it up as reserve asset because they are trying to fool you as US dollar have not been backed up and there are no federal reserve but only proclaimed policies of government.Bitcoin will find it's best way to grow as it has grown without any third party support and all those FUD and it is bubble so we can speculate its growth when all are ready to adopt it and remember the supply is limited to 21 million but it's not really the same due to lost coins and 1 million with Satoshi Nakamoto so have it soon without thinking anything.

@Kittygalore well, that is the simple truth duo but again things change may be in the future Bitcoin will gain adoption from more countries around and if the world trade organizations (WTO) adopt Bitcoin then countries will not have any other choice than to accept Bitcoin as a global reserve.

Due to the US economic recession, the sustainability of the U.S. dollar as the world's main reserve currency has been tested.
Although Bitcoin is a good currency and asset, it is impossible for it to replace the U.S. dollar as the world currency.
Bitcoin is a new type of encrypted digital currency that has emerged, and there are still many problems. Its price fluctuates greatly and cannot be used as a stable currency.
Bitcoin is only accepted and used by a few countries, and some countries are opposed to cracking down on and prohibiting the use of Bitcoin.

Even if it's tested due to recessions in the country, there's always a political intervention that will prevent a lot of country from agreeing that USD shouldn't be a reserve currency, and they've maintained their value even during that recession. Also, I feel like it's not going to be a good idea to use a volatile asset/currency as a reserve, you don't want to have less money when you really need it right?

Farewell, Leo
You can't use 12 years of performance to make reliable forcasts into the future.
I'm seeing Bitcoin as something inevitable to success. Since the genesis block, it seems to me, personally, that it constantly grows in terms of serious adoption. Non-authoritarian governments can't stop Bitcoin, because they're developing far better than the authoritarian ones. They, supposedly, provide this freedom to the people. Maybe we're heading towards a more revolutionary era and internet might kicked the hornet's nest.

I think that the non-authoritarian governments have come to a dead end. I, indeed, thought, wrongly make assumptions from only twelve years of performance.

The Standard Protocol - Solving Inflation
I don't really think this will happen. It is too ideal, to begin with.

I concur with this opinion and the majority of responses. We would like Bitcoin to become a global reserve asset replacing the USD, but if that happens it will take a long time. It has some intrinsic characteristics that could allow it to be so in the future, such as its deflationary nature, but as of today it is more a fantasy than a reality. Would states and central banks have to buy Bitcoin for their reserves as well, for that to happen, and that is not likely to happen in the near future. .

The interesting part about Bitcoin becoming a global reserve currency would be that nobody could make Bitcoin that on their own. It would be the result of a common understanding that nobody suggested, but which Bitcoin causes everyone to gravitate towards with their opinions. It is not like there is a strong economy backing it (like in the case of the USD), but just the nature of how Bitcoin is and how it influences global decision making processes, it will cause nations around the world to consider it as a new global reserve asset. If that common understanding were to develop overtime, whether or not a single nation doesn't like it also doesn't matter. There is no choice but to accept it. Interesting thought experiments are imminent about this idea.

It's nonsense, there's no relation between inflation and global reserve asset.

To become global reserve asset need a lot requirement :
1. Flexible to convert and can be used in foreign countries.
2. Stability and transparent
3. Every countries accept and trust it.

Bitcoin can be global reserve asset when the price is already million, so it's will be more stable and of course every countries already accept since they already believe about Bitcoin. But 2025 is too soon, probably 10-25 years more we can see Bitcoin become global reserve asset.

I think he was saying that Bitcoin can't be inflated through creating new coins, because you can't.

Regardless, you can still have inflation if the banking intuitions on the governmental level start taking on debt in the form of securities that they can't pay back. You still end up increasing the money supply because you're interjection fiat onto private institutions which will then distribute the money through loans and such. Now, with Bitcoin you're not going to increase the supply of coin so BTC acting as a global reserve isn't a bad idea. It'll keep governments honest when they want to go out take on trillions in asset liabilities and want to mess with the inflation rate.

If a currency becomes a global reserve asset, it must be accepted by all countries in the world.

As an emerging cryptocurrency with a history of more than ten years, Bitcoin has not yet been accepted by everyone, and some countries have even cracked down on banning the use of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin's price fluctuates greatly and is unstable, and it cannot be used as a stable currency. At present, it is impossible for Bitcoin to replace the U.S. dollar as a global reserve asset.

Bitcoin requires legality from all countries in the world in order to become a global reserve asset. And for now it is impossible for that to happen,
because there are still some countries that reject Bitcoin. But with Bitcoin's performance continuing to improve, it is expected that confidence
in Bitcoin will continue to increase. I know it's not easy for all countries to accept Bitcoin, but let Bitcoin show its quality. I believe even though
it is a long process, in the end Bitcoin can be trusted as a global reserve asset.
- The figures you said make me imagine that bitcoin has been accepted by the majority of countries and only a few are against when in fact a few are not against but the vast majority are hating anything related to bitcoin, its quality and performance is not the problem, the problem is how to convince the users to give it up and give it to the government at a friendly price to become a global reserve asset. Property coercion is also possible but freely providing information is everyone's right, they don't like to take inventory of property, reserve is also not applicable

I don't think US is going to like that idea although we will see China and Russia bolster their support of bitcoin as a reserve currency because they've always wanted to dethrone especially China, the dollar as a reserve currency for many countries because they see them as a competition.

Its not the primary goal of BTC but if it becomes a reserve currency, China wil be the first to jump to celebrate. They've been praying for USD's defeat for so long, some believed this is the goal of their CBDC. The over printing of USD today seem to be funny for their government.

Will it be good for us if most if not all countries will be using decentralized currency except China?

With the mainstream and institutional adoption of Bitcoin, the coast is becoming clearer to analyze bitcoin becoming the global reserve currency if the current trends continue till 2025 I see bitcoin rendering the present reserve system useless because Bitcoin will outperform another global reserve asset in terms of price and market cap and circulation reason being that.

Factors that will put Bitcoin over the U.S dollars as global reserves.

1. The major reason that will pave the way for bitcoin to become the global reserve asset is the fact that Bitcoin has a fixed calculating supply of 21 million Bitcoin which can not be added and this makes the currency immune to inflation.

Unlike the U. S dollars, the government can print additional currency notes at will, which makes it prompt to inflation, and has no calculating supply.

With the current global economic meltdown, which gave birth to a high inflation rate, the world trade union will not hesitate to replace U.S dollars with a currency that has a fixed supply and market dominance like Bitcoin in the future when the enabling environment is created.

WHAT ARE YOUR VIEWS ON THIS?

I don't really think this will happen. It is too ideal, to begin with.

I have a question. If you belong to the government, would you invest in something knowing that it is volatile? I think not. It has a low probability that the government would invest in something with a value that is highly volatile because the funds will be at a very big risk. When the market crashes, their funds will be compromised as well. Hence, why would they pick bitcoin to be a reserve asset?

In addition, the decentralized nature of bitcoin is non-negotiable for them. They can't control it because it is their nature in the first place. No matter how hard they try to regulate it, they can't totally erase the decentralized nature of bitcoin. They can't manipulate it and they can't just produce it and print it like what they usually do with fiat such as dollar whenever things go haywire. And they don't want that. The government loves to take control and take over almost everything, hence bitcoin and any cryptocurrency will be the last on their list if ever they will try to replace US dollars in global reserve.

the opps is looking at it from the economic and inflation perspectives and as that bitcoin have a long way to go in becoming a global asset, the level of bitcoin acceptance is still low and many countries of the world don’t recognize bitcoin as a legal tender.

A financial asset can serve as a global reserve,only if it has a stable and predictable price.
This is the first requirement.I'm not going to discuss mass global adoption and the other requirements.
Does Bitcoin have a stable price?Nope...
It think that this discussion is pretty old and you didn't add anything new to the table.
Your theory is that Bitcoin will replace USD,only because it has scarcity.
Well,diamonds also have scarcity.Are diamonds accepted as a global reserve asset?Nope... Grin
