Why is Bitcoin thriving but struggling to replace the US dollar's global dominance?
Bitcoin, as a decentralized digital asset, thrives on its scarcity, anti-inflationary potential, global payment efficiency, and increasing institutional adoption.

Bitcoin and the US dollar each play different roles, and it is difficult for them to replace each other in the short term.
