We don't need to extrapolate. There's a 100% chance of some kind of crisis in our future. The first crisis in a system with no monetary policy will knock everything down. Hard monetary policy is like nailing a board between the dock and the boat - it's great for stability ... until the tide goes out, or, a big wave comes. That's why we use ropes, not boards. Currencies can only exist within an economic zone and they're a useful tool wit price stability etc.. BTC provides none of that so it's not very useful. It's a neat idea. Also, the US definitely does not have 'Monetary Hegemony' in the world. Just an outside influence, that's waning a bit. The 'Big Banks' are not stealing your wealth because of monetary policy, for the most part. They will steal your wealth just as well with BTC.
