It didn't take too long, once the idea was started, for the US to get off the gold standard. Similar concept, but on a global scale. Switching to a different national currency (Yuan, Euro) would be more easily done than worldwide acceptance of Bitcoin, but either could eventually be done. With the fall of Rome, the denarius fell too; the same will happen if the US continues as it has. A change will have to be made, the only speculation is to what.

Considering how ECB is trying to reach parity with the dollar, despite what they say, I guess someone has a vision to propose a global currency, I know it's a hot topic in places like "conspiracy forums" but you know what they say about broken clocks.
