Observing the global financial landscape, one can notice an interesting turning point — those small countries tightly bound by the US dollar are seeking new breakthroughs. El Salvador's recent actions are a typical example. Every time news breaks about increasing Bitcoin reserves, it reflects not just a country's bet on crypto assets, but an invisible challenge to the entire old system.

First, let's look at the true face of dollar hegemony. For countries like El Salvador, pegging to the dollar sounds stable, but in reality, it means handing over their economic lifelines. When the Federal Reserve prints money, inflation follows; when interest rates rise, capital quickly withdraws. Even more painful is the deadlock in remittance channels — overseas workers' hard-earned money sent back home has over 10% in fees, directly evaporating from GDP, with an annual loss exceeding 2%. Want to borrow money for liquidity? Poor international credit ratings mean no one will buy your bonds, and borrowing from the IMF comes with a bunch of unequal conditions.

The emergence of Bitcoin hits the soft underbelly of this system. As a 24/7 circulating digital asset, it doesn't rely on any central bank — no matter how much the dollar is printed, it can't dilute its scarcity. Diaspora use it for transfers, with fees nearly zero, directly undermining the monopoly of traditional remittance giants. More importantly, this gives El Salvador a new national badge. Last year, tourism grew by 30% due to Bitcoin enthusiasm, and global mining company OCEAN even moved its headquarters there. The attention and investment driven by policy innovation are things international lending institutions can never provide.

From a certain perspective, this is not an isolated risk taken by a single country, but a collective awakening of small nations long suppressed by the dollar system. As digital assets begin to serve as hedging tools, and more policymakers recognize Bitcoin's sovereignty independence, this process has become irreversible.
