Will Cryptocurrency Replace The Dollar

[cadoman]

13. anything can be measured against anything, and most financial dashboards allow you to set your reference

And yes USD is definitely the most frequent, but some folks find it comfortable to set a different reference point if they're dealing with a lot of a given thing. Things are "worth" something when a lot of people are willing to give something else of "worth" for them, with "real worth" ultimately boiling down to products/commodities/services. Currencies are generally inherently worthless absent the history/infrastructure around them, and BTC does have both, so it's silly to ignore it. The mathematical and computational infrastructure of crypto makes it a compelling competition to human-managed infrastructure.

Anyway, you'll have:

BTC-USD -- Bitcoin in USD
LTC-USD -- Litecoin in USD
XMR-USD -- Monero in USD
SOL-USD -- Solana in USD

And when a thing gets popular enough, they add pairs for it:

XMR-BTC
LTC-BTC
SOL-BTC

You'll notice that less popular coins don't have pairs, e.g.:

XMR-SOL

You can try them yourself if you're curious, just plug them in like you would any ticker (MSFT, DELL, etc.)
