Bitcoin replacing fiat - how does it end?

Finish this path of events:

Bitcoin soars > Pressure on fiat systems mounts > Quantitative easing increases > ???

Do they QE until everyone is fully into bitcoin?
Do they give up? What then happens to people who didn't adopt bitcoin?
How does this transition go? Who gets hurt?

I'm learning but I can't quite picture how bloody this could be

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink’s Views on Bitcoin Evolve

During a conversation with the Council of Foreign Relations earlier this week, Fink said that Bitcoin could evolve into a “global market” because it had caught the “attention and imagination” of Millennials. “We look at it as something that’s real,” he said in the YouTube event, which also featured former Bank of England Governor Mark Carney. According to Fink, Bitcoin could threaten the U.S. dollar’s reserve status in international markets and make it “less relevant.”


ZuckBucks 2: Seize the Diem

ZuckBucks has returned, better than ever. Libra being cancelled put us on hiatus, but with the release of Diem, we've found renewed vigor. We've also implemented a few changes to our token, and are swapping 1:1 from ZBUX to ZUCC. We've solved our liquidity problem as well, and built in one hell of a reward system for the users! New details as follows:

TICKER: ZUCC

SUPPLY: 61,500,000

DECIMALS: 18

1.5m tokens premined for ZBUX-ZUCC token swaps.

To receive "ZUCC", you must send a small amount of ETH to the contract address. For every 0.001 ETH sent, you will receive 100 ZUCC.

Every 300,000 "ticks," the reward for ZUCC mining is halved. This distribution model mimics bitcoin's halving model. After 1 halving you receive 50 ZUCC per 0.001 ETH, after 2 halvings 25 ZUCC per 0.001 ETH, etc.

Each 0.001 ETH sent increases the "tick" by 1. So, every 300 ETH sent will trigger a halving of ZUCC.

The ETH sent to the address is pooled in 2 ways. First, half of all ETH sent is locked in the contract address until a mining event occurs. When an event occurs, the locked amount of ETH (close to 150 each halving) will be sent directly to the person who triggered the halving. Each halving there will be 150 ETH up to grabs by a lucky community member.

The rest of the ETH is sent to the developer wallet for exchange listing fees and uniswap liquidity.

You are able to swap your ZBUX 1:1 with ZUCC via Uniswap. The pairing liquidity will be provided by a community member.
