Could you elaborate on the plausibility of Bitcoin evolving into a reserve currency? Given its decentralized nature, volatility, and relatively limited adoption compared to traditional fiat currencies, what factors would need to align for this scenario to become a reality? Additionally, how would such a transition impact global economies and financial systems, particularly in terms of monetary policy, capital flows, and cross-border transactions? Is there a precedent for a digital asset to assume such a pivotal role in international finance?
