I mean right now, not the future. We are not there, yet, and if you are a nation wanting to do things on a national scalen(play the game of nations), you deal in dollars, or you deal in gold.
BRICS is starting to break away. The middle east tries to make it oil, bitcoin will be the way, but for now at national level, do you dispute that it is dollars or gold?
Canada is not a good answer. They are a top 5 gold producer!

Canadian miners produce the gold, but the government chose to sell all their holdings years back (2016 i think)

They STARTED sales in 2019, but again, Canada has huge USD reserves, so not a good example. And the example El Salvador - still has gold. And will for a while. Can't believe this is a point of contention.
