Since you're not the brightest let me help you with a real world example that is 100% indisputable. If you live in Alaska, you have no problem spending Canadian change because everyone has faith that others will accept a Canadian quarter as .25 for US debts. If you live in Washington state, say in Bellingham Washington you will quickly find that people will not accept Canadian change as payment as there is no faith that others will accept it in kind once it is in your possession. This is true all over the world where tourist areas will accept foreign currencies where outside those tourist areas, they won't. They have no faith that others in those regions will accept those currencies.

This is basic economics 101 which you have no understanding of. But sure, you can predict the future of a currency.
