I don't agree with this. It's fine to have an opinion, but I don't think it should be represented as a consensus when it's not.

Downsides of the U.S. dollar or "petrodollar" system include global warming, international wars, and regulatory capture. The U.S. financial system has all the kinds of fraud, blackmail, and crime mentioned here and more. Doesn't mean the dollar is a scam.
