If the USD crashes, there would be a fair amount of chaos on the global scale as more and different currencies vie to be the next reserve currency. Most likely this would end up something like the Yuan from China, and is currently the most likely candidate in such an event.

The value of the physical things within the US would also drop along with the value of the currency, at least in terms of purchasing power, and it might be possible to buy a lot of cheap goods using outside currencies.

As for Bitcoin, the value would probably go up.

If the US Dollar started crashing, then the indexes would rise in value, as the value of stocks and indexes is the opposite of fiat since fiat is used for protection.

Bitcoin is relatively small, so any positive or negative movement is independent on its own because of MM.

Then World will also crash.

USD is the reserve currency for almost every country in the world at the moment, trust me, nobody would want USD to crash. (actually Americans really want that) Everybody dumping their own shitty currency to buy more and more dollars since the petro-dollar agreement. Because of that US made stuff is getting more expensive year after year.

The world wouldnt really crash.

But it would more like hit a strong pause similar how you see 2008 where things were super slowed down. And constant layoffs youd see by companies and less spending overall.

The world really never crashes, because of the international lending thats between each bigger bank.

If the US Dollar Crashes then it is going to effect Bitcoin somehow because there are allot of people that sell there Bitcoins for US Dollar. If the Dollar is going to crash then people have now to find a other currency to sell for.

No the crash of US dollar will not affect the BIT as people from all over the world do not love to sell their coins to dollar but they sell to it only because they find it easy currency, and when US dollar crashed then there will be anoter currency which will replace dollar and so after that people will sell their coins to that currency.

The US Dollar will only crash when the value of the Bitcoin is going to be more and when it is also used by the most people and many people have also to use it as a payment method.
And that can be nice because it works really easily and fast so there is a chance that the US Dollar can crash in the future.
Bitcoin has no influence over the price of the dollar, and it will never have influence over the price of the dollar, so I'm not really sure how you come up with that.

What if i dont think he would ever crash because there are to many people who are using the coin right now and i now for in the future that amount is only growing fast. So dont think dollar wil crash and bitcoin will take over that will never happen
Well, maybe if the dollar experiencing a problem, the whole economy in countries that use the dollar will occur a severe economic crisis, and I guess it can not be completed within the time period close, probably most users will use bitcoin or altcoin other, for of saving money they have and I think it will greatly affect the price of bitcoin

I was thinking about this, what if the US Dollar crashes like speculated by many renowned economists around the world?
What will be it's affects on the beloved currency, BTC?

It is possible, but through what process is the question

Currency's value comes from demand, when economy goes bad, people desperately want more currency, that's why currency will never crash during a recession, they strengthen instead. FED printed 5x more USD without crashing its value, just because exploded demand for USD after financial crisis

So the only possibility that a currency will crash is during hyper inflation. That is also not possible, since banks are holding most of those newly added money supply, they watch inflation carefully and strictly restrict how much money flow into the economy to avoid inflation

Another possibility is that people find some other alternative (for example bitcoin), thus give up using USD. That's also not very likely to happen since most of the people's income is received in the form of USD, unless USD is in a state of hyperinflation, they will keep using USD

Currently we have a huge bond bubble, if those bond can not be paid back and default, it will crash the bond price, cause large loss for investors, but again, that will trigger a shortage of USD, gives bank more reason to create more USD

In a disasters scenario, people will always chase USD, which is the most liquid format of asset, so it is not likely it will crash in any foreseeable future
Dont think the dollar will ever crash do you know what wil happen if it does crash. The world will collapse ok not the world but whole america will be under atack by everyone so dont think dollar wil crash because he wont crash.

Let me get this straight: The dollar is designed in a way that it is certain that it will collapse eventually. When it does happen is a matter of time and time only. The safest bet is to bet against the collapse of the dollar.

But with bitcoin it's obviously different because bitcoin has no single entity that controls the supply of coins. With this in mind, your future will not be controlled by a central bank or government. You can control your own future. You can predict the inflation of bitcoins. Also the value of bitcoin is retained over time so if the dollar collapses, bitcoin will skyrocket.

Who will reign over United States of America? China? Yes that is possible but that wont happen without a fight. I guess I will think more about the state of the world after that before thinking of the US dollar crashing.

If the US dollar would crash the bitcoin will disappear to because a bitcoin has a price of the dollar. So when
the dollar goes away what will the price of the bitcoin be exactly nothing because there is no dollar anymore.
I disagree. Bitcoin will not disappear if US dollar crashes. First off, bitcoin isn't only dependent on the USD value. bitcoin can also be exchanged in local currencies, eg EUR, AUD, JPY, PHP, etc. USD isn't the only currency in the world you know. If US dollar does indeed crashes, I'm can somehow see EUR will become the new world currency
That will not happen so fast and that is because you already can see now that the Bitcoin is not everywhere acceptable and that have to change of course for the currency.
But indeed Bitcoin is getting now more used as a payment method and that is really nice.

I will say US Dollar is not going to crash as long as its real backup has importance.The real power and strength will make it powerful and global currency is Petrol which can be traded only in US Dollars.Petrodollar is real thing and this is not going to loose its importance.Bitcoin has come out as major player and will continue spreading its influence even in existence of US Dollar.

If the US Dollar is going to crash then it would effect the Bitcoin in someway because there are allot of people in the us that make use of the Bitcoin so there would be less Bitcoin users. 

I think the effect on Bitcoin will be very short term when the USD happens to "crash" at some point in the future. The speculation aspect will give Bitcoin a huge bump in the price but it won't last very long as the US government will do everything to prevent further damage. As soon as Bitcoin traders start to notice that the price will start to tank again.

I believe so if the US dollar crashes and so is the bitcoin for we are still depending on the economy and the status of a country. I still remember when Dollar Crashes during the time when I was abroad. Recession happens in any part of the world not just in the Philippines but also in the other countries dependent on US. It was a big heart ache for the country but somehow I was blessed for just transferred to the other branch of the hotel. Milions of people looses job and find it hard to recover.
