Don't always be blinded by the argument that "Dollar hegemony relies on the US military."

Look at recent events where the Federal Reserve Chair dared to confront the government—essentially putting on a top-tier pitch for global investors. Why can the dollar continue to harvest global capital? Honestly, it's not about aircraft carrier fleets. The real secret weapon lies in—the Federal Reserve's "I do as I please" power structure.

An independent central banking system and policy-making ability free from political interference are the iron gates of dollar credibility. Global creditors value this predictability and stability in institutional design. From this perspective, institutional autonomy is more capable of supporting the status of a reserve currency than any military advantage.

Hmm, this perspective is indeed quite sharp; the credibility of institutional design is more hardcore than military muscle.

That's correct, institutional design is the hard currency. Our central bank here is so constrained that it's impossible to compare.

That being said, can this independent central bank system really hold up in the face of a genuine geopolitical crisis? I still have some doubts.

The system is the hard currency, got it.

It's one thing to say that, but we need to consider whether this independence is truly independent—those interest groups and their tricks... --- The Federal Reserve standing firm against the government is indeed impressive, but the system design is too complex; honestly, it's just sophisticated rhetoric. --- Hmm... so ultimately, it still depends on who controls the public opinion, right? Trust is also something that is built through words. --- Predictability and stability sound impressive, but when a crisis hits, everyone has to admit defeat. That logic itself has flaws. --- System autonomy vs. military advantage—this comparison is inherently misplaced; it's not a matter of either/or. --- Wake up, the dollar's dominance still relies on network effects; it’s not so much about whether the central bank is independent. --- Right now, I just want to see which country dares to truly challenge this system design. Only then will we know what’s really behind it.

Damn, this is the real point—institutional endorsement is truly more powerful than a stick.

Hey, this perspective really hits the mark. Central bank independence > military strength; the logic makes sense.

Wow, I never thought about this angle—does the independence of the central bank outweigh that of an aircraft carrier fleet? The more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes.

Wow, this perspective is indeed fresh. On-chain data has been saying the same thing: the US dollar's continuous siphoning ability doesn't rely on force, but on the predictability of that institutional moat. In plain terms, global big players trust the Federal Reserve's "I remain unmoved" independence more than any naval fleet to stabilize capital flows.

Hmm, this perspective is interesting. Institutional design is indeed more valuable than muscle. The independence of the central bank is the best credit endorsement, more solid than anything else. Speaking of which, can we replicate this logic... The dollar's victory is due to this institutional card; we need to think about how to break the deadlock. Institutional stability > military power, got it, this analysis is pretty good. It's clear now, the real moat is in the hands of the central bank, not the military. The predictability of institutional power is the ultimate trump card, worth pondering. Now I understand why the world has to obediently hold the dollar.
