Agree you can't escape USD for now, in most trades. Thats what UoA sorta means, no? It's simply that one can swap between the USD price to whatever else they may ultimately want nearly instantaneously (no slippage and accepted everywhere), thus ignoring this is giving free money away to someone that can arb. It is what it is. It's some sort of phase shift that won't happen overnight, or be obvious until after the fact, when we'll be able to live in this non-usd denominated world you describe.

I'm not suggesting that some sort of quantum leap is possible. Just pointing out that bitcoiners do not acknowledge the simple fact that the US dollar distortions they complain about affect *all pricing* if there's some fiat structural reason that USD cantillionaires ape into 2010 Toyota Camrys then that distorts the proportion that we're talking about. same with gold, silver, real estate whatever we have to look at what the UOA is and structural reasons why it might prefer one asset to another. there is no accurate pricing possible under a fiat standard. to put it another way, all pricing is distorted by the nature of the underlying UOA.
