This topic was the subject of The Economist; 01/09/1988, Vol. 306, pp 9-10, cover below.
"Thirty years from now, Americans, Japanese, Europeans, and people in many other rich countries, and some relatively poor ones will probably be paying for their shopping with the same currency. Prices will be quoted not in dollars, yen or D-marks but in, let’s say, the phoenix. The phoenix will be favoured by companies and shoppers because it will be more convenient than today’s national currencies, which by then will seem a quaint cause of much disruption to economic life in the last twentieth century"
With simple math, it's easy to connect this article with next year. Considering the current #crypto mania, it is plausible to assume that a future world #currency would be a #cryptocurrency.
Keeping that in mind, there is consistent reasons to believe that the chosen One will be #Ripple aka #XRP, as it is basically being supported by a significant number of big #banks. Therefore it could easily be the next reserve #currency, used, for instance, to trade the world's commodities, replacing #USD current status.
Moreover, #Ripple has been collecting a lot of investors pushing the prices higher and higher since the beginning of December, which could mean that this possibility is being incorporated in the #currency value!
