Those in the US can look across the pond over here to the UK and Europe to see where you end up!
But seriously, imv the US will obvs remain a global power, based on demographics and the US$. The change for the US is that India and China will also be global powers. Increased protectionism in the US is a natural reponse to that threat.
From a BTC pov, I dont believe USD will die, it will be just as strong against everyone else apart from these two. And in a multi polar world, splitting state and money makes more sense to more people as they see they have a choice and maybe dont want to choose sides...

I imagine the best case scenario for the US is that it becomes like post WW2 UK.
Worst case, the wall along the southern border everyone is so obsessed with will be used to keep US citizens out of Central and South America in >70 years.

There is usually one showstopping global power. It's been that way for all of history. I haven't seen an argument for why that would change suddenly ... unless we assume the global reserve currency changes to something less centralized.
