anon, please take this more seriously. it's important moving forward. that industry is rife with manipulation. there may be some merit to creating an asset-basket tethered to a digital currency (see balancer and xlp in defi) to facilitate the requisite for instant settlement times, but the issue is scaling. the reason usd can take advantage of scaling is because it can inflate. obviously this gets into     and the clinton-bush effort to maintain the global black market drug trade, an effort to maintain usd hegemony as a global reserve currency. but usd has loads of issues and it not having some functional overlap with your favorite shiny rock isn't really one of them. it's more about no one presenting a more viable option than ensuring inflows head toward usd via the black market to maintain usd global currency reserve hegemony.  so no, i don't pray for that. i "pray", if anything, for a decentralized, public ledger that supports instant-settlement transactional economic tools while also alleviating the black budget and black market (drug trade) system our currency relies upon now. the issue with all of this is we don't have a solution to curtailing resource allocation toward the direction of undesirable parties, which we can currently manage.
