 It can, and one way to make it happen is to enable the ease of converting bitcoin into multiple currencies. When this is achieved, countries can trade with each other directly, without needing USD, BRICS or any politically influenced currency - and eventually achieve self-sovereignty. 

There are several existing options for quick currency exchanges via stable coins, tokens like cashu and side chains, wallets, possibly web 5 and even Nostr, but all in development and requires more use cases, real-world usages and risk assessments. 

In the long run, when everyone has Bitcoin as part of their balance sheet, we would no longer need to depend on the currency exchanges, but for now, it will be the starting point for business transactions to happen. 

De-dolarisation and the rise of BRICS are real concerns and should not be naively dismissed. With a deepening global adoption, Bitcoin could be a robust peacekeeper in preventing the possibility of currency wars/wars.
