I think you should have extended the poll with more years, I believe the USD will be around for about 20 more years.

+1

until the day, that no one wants that shit anymore.

Wow, lots of doomsayers.  I sure hope it lasts more than 8 years.
Why? All fiat currencies have to die.

I can't find never in the poll, everyone is so pessimistic about USD?

Fiat currencies have never lasted through history before, why is the USD special?  Because you use it?

nothing in this universe has ever truly lasted anyway.. so the question is, how long have great empires lasted? the roman empire lasted 400+ years. america's been around since 1776 basically, but we haven't been the world superpower for more than 70 years.

Yeah; the Romans had their own way of exploiting the currency, but that didn't last either Tongue  It's almost like people are raised in these bubbles where they're told America is this perfect place and nothing wrong could ever happen...but that'd be crazy.

I'll just repeat myself again here. US debt is so high that they can't even pay the interest on their loans. This means the debt will keep increasing endlessly until the chinese get sick of seeing their money disappear, at which point the dollar will go belly up.

word, we are like japan. but the odd thing is that inflation is only 2% at this point... because no one is spending.

8 year max on this poll? only on bitcointalk, haha. i thought it was "any day now" many years ago. i, unfortunately, am fairly confident this business can and likely will be dragged out much longer than we'd like.

Thanks Mike - thats a good video. Here are a couple more:

The US economy polarized several years ago beyond repair, as presented in the above video.

The situation hasn't got any better, in fact it has got much much worse.

I've already seen the first one; that's the video that pulled me out of the matrix and got me to really question what was happening in the world Tongue The second one is very good as well; the truth is painful.

Never

Dollar cant collapse, just inflate.

That's what a collapse is; nobody is using Zimbabwean dollars for this reason.

It could be any day now. These sort of things tend to come quite unexpected. But any day could be a day far in the future, too. So I have no clue. Picked 5 years, because.

The yen is still going on and is relatively ok. It must be at least. 10 years ahead of the us on the "we like to destroy our own economy" scale. When they go down it might accelerate things for America though, so I will guess 5 years.

Never, USD is a strong currency....
The only reason it doesn't collapse is because they continue printing billions every month. As soon as they stop, it collapses, if not before.

Senatorial election in about a year. After that, the federal government has 2 years to do as it wishes without any risk of personnel change. I'm going to say we've got a year until everything collapses.
