What Satoshi Did Not Know (2015) [pdf]
I won’t call Bitcoin a success as long as its value is measured in dollars.

So is the euro not a success either? Or any other currency in the world for that matter?

That's completely unrelated. The Euro wasn't designed as an alternative to make USD obsolete. The Euro did do exactly what it was designed for, to unify much of Europe under one currency and economic system.

The value of a euro isn’t how many dollars you can buy with it. It is what goods and services you can buy with it, directly. That’s the point.

The greater success is blockchain, It will swallow dollars.

Blockchain would swallow databases not dollars. Currency is just one use for a blockchain, git is a great use for it and much older than bitcoin.
