Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
Gas Prices Crash to Four-Year Lows as Supply Surges Ahead of Holidays
National average falls below $2.90 per gallon for the first time since 2021
Overview
National gas prices fall to $2.897 per gallon—the lowest level in 1,680 days
Decline driven by increased refinery output and higher OPEC production
Prices drop in nearly every state, with Oklahoma hitting $2.298 per gallon
Trend continues despite political claims, with experts attributing drop to supply dynamics
***********************
Key Developments
National Average Hits Lowest Level in Nearly Five Years
GasBuddy data shows the national average gasoline price has fallen to $2.897 per gallon—its lowest level since May 2021. Analyst Patrick De Haan noted that this marks the first break below $2.90 in over 1,680 days.
Declines Seen Across the Country
In the days surrounding Thanksgiving, nearly every state recorded falling fuel prices. The downward trend has continued into December, with national averages declining week-over-week, month-over-month, and year-over-year.
Supply Factors, Not Policy, Driving Price Declines
Experts attribute the drop to refinery maintenance wrapping up and OPEC ramping production for December. These supply increases have pushed oil prices lower, creating broad downward pressure at the pump.
Political Reactions and Public Perception
While political figures have attempted to credit policy changes, analysts say market mechanics—not administration action—explain the decline. Trump’s approval rating continues to slide as economic expectations clash with campaign promises.
Why It Matters
Gas prices are one of the most visible economic indicators to American households. A sustained decline relieves pressure on consumers heading into the holiday season, but the disconnect between political narratives and market realities highlights ongoing uncertainty in energy policy and public sentiment.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1: Energy Market Volatility
Fluctuations in oil supply—from OPEC decisions to refinery cycles—underscore how global energy structures are shifting independently of domestic policy, reshaping long-term expectations for price stability.
Pillar 2: Consumer Impact and Political Leverage
Falling fuel prices ease household strain but expose political vulnerabilities when campaign promises conflict with market conditions, contributing to broader shifts in national and global economic confidence.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Philippines’ Fastest-Growing Digital Bank Opens the Door to Crypto Adoption
GoTyme integrates Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and more into its banking app
Overview
GoTyme, a 6.5-million-user digital bank in the Philippines, now offers in-app crypto purchases and storage.
Users can buy 11 crypto assets via seamless PHP-to-USD auto-conversion.
CEO says the system is built for simplicity — no complex charts, trading tools, or external apps needed.
GoTyme plans expansion into Vietnam and Indonesia and is prioritizing growth over profitability until 2027.
Key Developments
GoTyme partnered with U.S. fintech firm Alpaca to integrate secure crypto services.
Supported coins include BTC, ETH, SOL, DOT, and several major altcoins.
Banking app enables account creation and instant debit card access in under five minutes.
Bank reached 6.5 million users since its 2022 launch, after being formed by Tyme Group and Gokongwei Group.
Philippines ranks 9th on Chainalysis’ Global Crypto Adoption Index; lawmakers considering a 10,000-BTC strategic reserve bill.
GoTyme is in expansion mode across Southeast Asia, with plans targeting Vietnam and Indonesia.
Why It Matters
GoTyme’s crypto integration marks another step in Southeast Asia’s rapid shift toward digital finance. As nations in the region accelerate cashless payments and decentralized asset adoption, banks are racing to stay relevant by offering simplified crypto access. This move aligns with the broader global restructuring trend in which traditional financial institutions are merging with blockchain rails to maintain competitiveness and reduce exposure to legacy U.S. dollar–centric systems.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Technology Transformation
Digital banks embedding crypto infrastructure signal a shift toward hybrid financial systems that bridge fiat and blockchain networks.
Pillar: Asset Repricing & New Value Systems
As more banks normalize crypto ownership, digital assets become a larger component of consumer portfolios and future monetary models.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.
