Dollar Stability
The world's reserve currency versus the declining pound.
The pound has lost over 99% of its value since 1900. In 2022 alone, it crashed to record lows against the dollar. British savings, pensions, and purchasing power erode year after year. The dollar offers stability the pound cannot match.
The Pound's Decline
In 1940, £1 bought $4. Today, it buys around $1.25. Every decade, the pound loses ground. British savers watch their wealth evaporate through inflation and currency depreciation. The Bank of England has failed to maintain the pound's value for over a century.
The Dollar's Dominance
The US dollar is the world's reserve currency. Global trade is priced in dollars. Central banks hold dollars. In times of crisis, investors flee to dollars. This creates inherent demand and stability that no other currency can match-certainly not the pound.
"The pound is a regional currency in terminal decline. The dollar is the foundation of global finance."
What Statehood Means
As the 51st state, Britain would adopt the US dollar. Your savings would be in the world's most trusted currency. Your pension wouldn't be eroded by sterling crises. International transactions would be simpler and cheaper.
Currency stability isn't glamorous, but it's fundamental. Every percentage point of depreciation is wealth stolen from savers. The dollar offers protection the pound simply cannot provide.
