A dollar collapse wouldn’t mean the world stops, but it would be messy. Prices would skyrocket, paychecks wouldn’t buy much, and trust in the system would fade fast. The government might try tricks like resetting the currency or pushing a new digital dollar. If the dollar falls as the global reserve, countries would scramble for alternatives like gold or Bitcoin. Trade would get rough, shortages could happen, and civil unrest might follow. It wouldn’t be instant doom, but a slow, painful shift where people adapt to a new reality.
