This is a 1hr video, but very good explanation of coming de-dollarization. Take sometime to listen to it.

I dont agree 100% with the points in the video but would like any financial experts thoughts about it.

Not good. Russia tried to buy stuff from India with rupees they got from selling oil to them. The Indians but the brakes on that real quick.

Let that settle in: India doesn't even want their own money for exports they sell.

Indians won't take yuan the Russians have, either.


Then they got to demand payment in sugar, grain, etc that can be stored in warehouses in Russia.

They have to make it a barter trade if they can't use the India currency. For example, this would be two pounds of sugar for 1 gallon of oil.

Okay, negotiate instead of demand.

Another possibility is to give the Indian rupees to Russian tourists who can then exchange rupees for Turkish currency when visiting Istanbul.

So pay Russians in rupees who then can use it abroad such as in Turkey, Thailand, etc.

I wish people would drop the "S" part of BRICS.

South Africa is a shithole, the only surprising thing is that it's still in freefall and hasn't turned into cannibal anarchy yet.

Yeah, its still benefiting from what existed during its Apartheid past, but that can only last for so long. I've seen economic data and it seems since the late 1990s that South Africa has slowly been in a decline.

It's a piece. Just one of the tools in the banker's arsenal.

Ppl, if you're absolutely worried that the USD is going to hell within let's say the next ~5 yrs, here's a way to assuage one's fears ...

Take whatever 'cash equivalents' you have ... let's say that that's 20% of your account, and split it into 40% commodity ETFs (but not gold [ I only buy gold if it's in a crash situation ]) and then 40%, among Aussie (FXA), Canadian (FXC), and Swiss Franc (FXF), and keep the rest in highest rate US based CDs.

That should help if the BRICS goes nuts on the Forex, for some inexplicable reason like suddenly ... [ sarcasm mode ] MSNBC says that 'the Chinese Silk Road Gold Bourse is legitimate and won't rip off foreign investors' [ sarcasm off ] ... in other words, a pump/dump on the dumb money.

It's a PR vehicle for domestic political consumption. Ppl outside America hate the dollar. But nations can't dump it w/o hurting themselves. System is designed that way.

And when the US prints more dollars, there is debt interest attached that isn't printed until the next round of monetary expansion.

Thus every dollar created has built-in demand.

ALL dollar debtors (especially Eurodollar debtors) have to scramble to pay that interest. So they print their own currencies up to buy the necessary dollars. That makes their currency depreciate against the dollar, which means they have to sell more of their currency in order to be able to at least buy the same amount of dollars as they did before, etc.

The central bank gold hoarding going is the Plan B for when THEIR currencies are worth such shit that they can't PAY EACH OTHER in Eurodollar system. When the dollar actually blows up is going to be later.

Yes, eventually the US dollar will become toast too. But only after the Euro, Yen, etc. are totally fucked first. Between now and then, the dollar's value against those other currencies will soar.

The BRICS Fluffers' lube is running dry. Poor @indc

Why does it matter? Many went under in 2009 and many will go under in the future. Businesses in the US go bankrupt all the time.

Listen:


He directly says they need dollars to buy oil from Saudi. That makes sense because pricing oil in dollars had long been Saudi policy and why Biden went to Saudi Arabia last year to try and keep it that way.

It matters because can kicking can have consequences. If other major economies do not buy treasuries and ignore dollar for most of their transactions then interest rates cant go low and USA economy will enter death spiral.

It all started around 2008 where the Federal Reserve can buy enough US Treasuries and mortgage backed securities to provide the needed demand to keep the 10 Year Treasury below 5%.

This helped with all that deficit spending during 2009 to 2012 as far as ZIRP.

Notice its hard to find the statistic of debt payment as a percentage of the total federal budget ? I think it was 8% in 2022.

Let's hope that US Treasuries don't go to krazy krazy next time around and the Federal Reserve can help keep the cost of borrowing money low for the federal government.

INDC was posting about de-dollarization, which means foreign exchanges are not going to hold as many or any short term US Treauries which can be easily converted to dollars. They don't need to since the dollar won't be used as much for their international commerce.

So if they buy less US Treasuries then that reduces the demand, and likely causes US Treasury interest rates to increase to make them more attractive to the fewer foreign buyers.

All this does not matter Bubba, since 2008 the Federal Reserve has this role of being the buyer of US Treasuries via Quantitative Easing (QE).

Look at what The Wolfman at Wolf Street wrote, he says the floor or bottom is around $5 trillion for the Federal Reserve balance. sheet. He does not see them getting lower than that if they continue Quantitative Tightening (QT).

(Sigh)

Way more debt in dollars is not held by those the US owes or those that owe the US. It is held by foreigners who owe other foreigners.

That drives up demand for dollars. That in turn makes treasuries more valuable vis a vis their currencies and others.

Some are trying to find alternatives because they are losers who find it increasingly expensive to aquire dollars for that. But because of the above vicious cycle, they are pissing in the wind.

They also can not trade if the US Navy starts seizing or even sinking their shipping, should it come to being serious.

It has everything to do with economics. Dollar was supreme because everyone was kicking the can. Now china is sending strong message no more kicking the can. They dont care what US is doing with its money. It will trade in its own currency. And stable currency is an attractive currency. The froth china created by being slave to US for 40 yrs will be completely destroyed before it will grow again with its own characteristics.

So the Russians fly cargo planes filled with gold to pay for things.


That's good news if so.

Of course it would be more efficient to have a trustworthy institution like the old Amsterdam Wisselbank, which could simply move gold around within its vaults.

https://www.beursgeschiedenis.nl/en/moment/the-bank-of-amsterdam/


With the sole option of using coins, it was physically difficult to complete share transactions that involved several thousands of guilders. Therefore, every exchange trader that mattered had an account at the Wisselbank. The Wisselbank introduced a book-entry system that enabled customers to settle payments with other account holders. ...

The customers of the bank felt secure about the fact that their capital was being kept in the basement of the city hall and that the city of Amsterdam guaranteed their assets. The former entrance of the Wisselbank in the old city hall on the Dam Square – the current palace – is still marked by an image of Mercury, the Roman god of trade.

Partly because of the Wisselbank, that would continue to exist until 1820, Amsterdam could develop into a global financial center.

I guess no one knows why US is allowing so many illegals.
In future there will be silos, each country will have its own sphere of influence. They will trade within that sphere mostly. Hence they will not need dollars.

Why US needs the illegals. It needs them because citizens will not be willing to work for pennies as they have many defined benefits which will force them not to work for "free".

Without this labor US cannot make affordable products as it was importing them before. Now because of de-dollarization US has to make its own products for its consumption.

And with money being tight US will not have much money to spend towards defense.
