King Dollar: How 44 Countries Lost to One Currency

Why the World Needs One Money That Belongs to Everyone — Not One Country

After Bretton Woods, the world got a new rule:

44 countries, one currency. And that currency belonged to one nation.

The dollar became the center of global trade, global debt, and global power.
But here’s the truth nobody likes to say out loud:

A global system built on one country’s money will always tilt toward the country that issues it.

That wasn’t conspiracy —
that was the design.

And the consequences still shape your life today.

When one money rules the world, every country becomes dependent

Import food?
Pay in dollars.

Buy energy?
Pay in dollars.

Borrow money?
Do it in dollars — and watch the interest climb.

Countries don’t just use the dollar.
They rely on it.
And reliance becomes leverage.

No nation — and no person — is truly free if their money depends on someone else’s decisions.

The real problem: the dollar serves American interests, not global interests

This is the core flaw of the Bretton Woods world:

A global currency controlled by a local government will always drift toward imbalance.

When the U.S. needs cheap debt → it prints dollars.
When other countries need stability → they get volatility.
When America makes a monetary decision → the whole world pays the price.

It’s not fair.
It’s not equal.
And it was never designed to be.

Bitcoin flips the entire game

Bitcoin is the first money in history that:

No country controls
No central bank manipulates
No government can weaponize
No one can print more of
Everyone can verify
Everyone plays by the same rules

In a Bitcoin standard:

No nation gets an unfair advantage
No country faces currency collapse because of another country’s choices
No central power can change the rules
No political interest can dilute your savings

It is the opposite of Bretton Woods:
A global money with no ruler.

Why Bitcoin wins: it removes privilege and restores fairness

The dollar gives privilege to one nation.
Fiat gives privilege to those who print.

Bitcoin gives privilege to no one —
and power to everyone who holds it.

This is why Bitcoin matters:

It’s the first global monetary system in history where trust is not required and power cannot be abused.

And this is why smart people stack harder:

Bitcoin isn’t tied to a nation
It isn’t tied to politics
It isn’t tied to one government’s debt
It is backed by math, energy, and honesty

Bitcoin is what Bretton Woods tried to create —
but couldn’t.

Your Episode 6 Takeaway

When one currency rules the world, inequality is inevitable.
When money belongs to everyone, fairness becomes possible.

Bitcoin is that fairness.
