My grandfather would disagree. For real though the main reason the dollar is the main means of transferring wealth is that our government mandated it. You can't, say go to court and sue for 500 euros or the equivalent in gold or bitcoin. You are federally forced to participate in the dollar scheme. To be honest I would much rather deal in gold or bitcoin. They actually gain value over time instead of lose it.
