The US dollar trust crisis is spreading, and the market is looking for alternatives
On January 7th, the ADP data caught traders off guard. Only 41,000 new jobs were added—this figure was far below market expectations. The signals of a cooling labor market were unmistakable, and Wall Street immediately sensed the possibility of rate cuts. Citigroup analysts even projected a significant rate cut of 75-100 basis points by 2026, and the Federal Reserve's stance has softened.
Interestingly, what will happen after this signal appears? The dollar begins to weaken, gold surges straight up, and $BTC remains steady around $92,000—what does this picture reflect? Capital is betting: the dollar may no longer be the optimal choice.
This is not a temporary wave. Since last year, the attitude of global central banks toward the dollar has been changing. Central banks worldwide are frantically accumulating gold reserves, and the dollar's share of global foreign exchange reserves has fallen to 42%, the lowest in 25 years. On one side are trust cracks caused by geopolitical tensions, and on the other side is the weakening of economic fundamentals. The dollar is facing dual pressure on trust and value.
In the short term, this Friday's non-farm payroll data will be crucial. But from a longer cycle perspective, the de-dollarization trend has already begun. As more and more transactions bypass dollar pricing, and global enthusiasm for US bonds and US stocks cools, an unavoidable question will surface: what will be used for valuation?
What do you think? Is dollar hegemony gradually weakening, or is it facing a more intense shock? Can $BTC break through $100,000 this year?

Is the US dollar doomed? Laughing out loud, they keep using this narrative, and it feels like this argument has been cycling for three years.
Gold accumulation is a fact, but is it really that easy for the dollar to be replaced? I’m not so sure.
The 92,000 level has held quite steadily, but the psychological threshold of 100,000... honestly, it feels a bit uncertain.
The key is still non-farm payroll data. One data point can reverse the entire expectation. The market is really crazy.
A weak dollar doesn’t necessarily mean crypto is strong. Sometimes this logic doesn’t hold up.
Central banks hoarding gold is a hedge, but real large-scale settlements still depend on the dollar. Talking about de-dollarization is too optimistic.

The dollar is doomed; now BTC is truly king.

I'm optimistic about the big trend of de-dollarization, but I have to say, can BTC really break 100,000? Feels like it's still a bit off.

The dollar crisis is the spring for BTC. Holding tightly at 92,000. If the non-farm payrolls continue to perform poorly this time, hitting 100,000 is not just a dream.
