The international value of the dollar as a reserve and trade currency is inherently tied to the behavior of the US Government and the Federal Reserve. The behavior of the US Government has been very unusual lately, and the independence of the Federal Reserve is actively being challenged. So draw from that whatever conclusions you wish.

Their stability has worked to benefit a lot of rich and powerful people, so I would question the motives of this sect of billionaires who are trying to destabilize it. They must believe they can extract something from the ashes.
