If we lost the dollar as the world currency, I think that would be the equivalent of losing a war
I hate it when bad people make good points, because the US dollar is absolutely a bludgeoning tool in economic warfare. The might of the US dollar as an economic weapon was in full display when the foreign appropriations act of 1991 severely exacerbated the collapse of Yugoslavia.
The US dollar should not be the de facto world currency, and trying to stop progress through these means will isolate the US from the entire world.
I highly recommend the online book How to Think Like a Computer Scientist.
Fun fact, the person maintaining this book is professor emeritus from my college and received multiple awards of recognition from the IEEE
