Wow! $400 billion!

But...BRICS! De-dollarization!

Ppl, let me help you to isolate when the possibility or perhaps better stated ... the fear of de-dollarization was apparent in the global markets. It was during the reign of error ... George W Bush, the worst president in modern US history.

That's when Gold broke out of its multi-decade bearish channel and into a bull market. Here's that chart ...



Since GWB, gold bugs have been screaming & shouting but yet, instead of expecting every pullback to $1100/oz or $1500/oz (or even $1800/oz), to melt up to $5000/oz or $10000/oz, they could have just swing traded it and made money.

First the USD was going to hyperinflate and lose the GRC.

Then was going to be replaced by the Euro.

Then SWIFT was going to be usurped by INSTEX.

Then the PetroYuan was going to kill the PetroDollar.

Then Shanghai Gold Exchange was touted as the killer app.

When that didn’t work the e-yuan was sure to do it.

After that came Libra.

During Covid the Fed did everything the dollar fatalists ever predicted and they assured me the DXY would never again go above 100.

Then the DXY went to a 30 year high.
Bitcoin and crypto have created fabulous wealth but have also solidified the USD as GRC via stable coins.

And amongst all of this stuff that has never worked over the years the BRICs continuously hinted “this year” would be their big launch. And yet Lucy pulls the football away every year.

Now that none of this stuff has worked the goalposts have been moved again and two new stories have emerged.

1) The USD wont lose Global Reserve Currency status but USTs will lose Global Reserve Asset status…never mind the fact that USTs losing GRA status would contribute to the USD returning to all time highs.
&
2) The USD is not the most important form of money but energy is. Never mind that money was invented so man could harness energy without having to use it directly.

I continue to love these de-dollarization stories for the same reason I love science fiction.
It’s creative, it’s interesting, it’s forward looking….and in 20 or 30 years some of it will be true..

BRICS replacing the USD is like 20 years old right now. It's all Syrio-Iranian-Russo MSM bullshit
