Missouri Currency Reform: A New Move Toward Gold and Silver Economy

Missouri Currency Reform: A New Move Toward Gold and Silver Economy

Awake-In-3D  December 5, 2024

Missouri takes a groundbreaking step toward financial sovereignty with its push for gold and silver as legal tender, challenging centralized control and advancing the currency revaluation debate.

In the latest move reshaping the future of state monetary policy, Missouri currency reform has emerged as a powerful response to the challenges of centralized financial control. By rejecting Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and advocating for gold and silver as legal tender, Missouri is positioning itself at the forefront of the currency revaluation debate.

This legislative push not only strengthens financial sovereignty but also aligns with broader global trends favoring tangible assets over fiat systems.

Legislative Push: The Basics of the Missouri Currency Reform

Republican Senator Rick Brattin’s pre-filing of SB 194 on December 1 signifies the latest in a series of legislative efforts to define the state’s monetary future. The bill explicitly prohibits public entities from accepting or testing CBDCs, a move designed to curtail the influence of centralized digital currencies that many argue lead to increased government surveillance and control.

Moreover, the bill redefines the state’s Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) to exclude CBDCs from its definition of money.

Perhaps most notably, SB 194 advocates for alternative monetary systems by mandating that the state treasurer allocate at least 1% of state funds to gold and silver holdings. This provision underscores a commitment around a Missouri currency reform to precious metals as a hedge against currency devaluation and economic instability. The bill also exempts gold and silver transactions from state capital gains taxes and recognizes these metals as legal tender, providing citizens with a tangible alternative to fiat currencies.

The Broader Context: State-Level Resistance to CBDCs

Missouri’s legislative moves come at a time when resistance to CBDCs is gaining traction across the United States. States like Louisiana and North Carolina have already passed laws to prohibit CBDC adoption, and similar efforts are underway at the federal level, including the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act passed by the U.S. House of Representatives in May.

For Missouri, however, the legislative battle has been particularly robust. Earlier this year, multiple bills addressing CBDCs and precious metals were introduced, though not all succeeded. SB 1352 sought to overhaul the state’s UCC to block CBDCs and passed a House vote before stalling in the Senate. Other bills, like SB 736 and its companion House legislation, attempted to tie CBDC prohibition to the promotion of gold and silver but failed to pass. Despite these setbacks, SB 194 marks a significant initiative to realign the state’s monetary policy with principles of sovereignty and decentralization.

Precious Metals vs. CBDCs: Competing Visions of Monetary Policy

Missouri’s legislative efforts center on a fundamental conflict between two competing visions of the future of money. On one hand, CBDCs represent a digital extension of fiat currencies, offering increased efficiency and integration with modern payment systems. However, critics argue that CBDCs concentrate monetary power in the hands of central banks and governments, enabling unprecedented levels of financial surveillance and control.

On the other hand, gold and silver symbolize a return to monetary systems grounded in tangible value and historical precedent. By recognizing these metals as legal tender, this Missouri currency reform aims to provide its citizens with a form of money that is immune to inflationary pressures and independent of centralized control. This approach resonates with the principles underlying the GCR and RV, which emphasize the restoration of equitable value in global currencies and a move away from excessive reliance on fiat systems.

Implications for the Global Currency Reset

Missouri’s legislative actions reflect broader trends associated with the GCR. The inclusion of gold and silver in state monetary policy aligns with efforts to stabilize currencies through tangible assets, a key tenet of the reset. Additionally, the rejection of CBDCs reflects growing skepticism about the role of centralized institutions in shaping the future of money.

While the GCR is often discussed in terms of international agreements and global economic shifts, state-level actions like those in Missouri highlight the importance of grassroots movements in driving monetary reform. By taking a stand against CBDCs and embracing precious metals, Missouri is not only asserting its own financial sovereignty but also contributing to a larger conversation about the balance between centralized and decentralized monetary systems.

Potential Barriers and Strategic Opportunities for a Missouri Currency Reform

Despite its ambitious goals, Missouri’s legislative agenda faces significant challenges. The failure of earlier bills to pass demonstrates the difficulty of achieving consensus on complex monetary issues. Furthermore, the implementation of gold and silver as legal tender raises practical questions about verification processes, transaction logistics, and public acceptance.

However, these challenges also present opportunities for innovation and leadership. If successful, Missouri’s policies inspire similar initiatives at the national level, influencing the direction of the GCR and RV.

The Bottom Line

Missouri’s efforts to ban CBDCs and promote gold and silver as legal tender reflect a growing desire for financial autonomy and a rejection of centralized monetary control. In the context of the GCR and RV, these actions represent a significant step toward a more equitable and decentralized global economy.

As the debate over the future of money continues, Missouri’s legislative push serves as both a challenge to the status quo and a driving force behind financial reform. Whether or not SB 194 ultimately passes, it shapes state sovereignty, monetary policy, and the broader global currency landscape.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps, 

WHO IS DAVID SACKS? AND WHY HAS DONALD TRUMP MADE HIM CRYPTO CZAR?

▪️David O. Sacks Becomes White House AI & Crypto Czar Under Trump's Administration.

▪️Former PayPal COO Brings Expertise in Tech and Venture Capital to Federal Leadership.

▪️Close Ties to Trump and Musk May Boost Fresh AI-Crypto Strategies for U.S. Leadership.

Former PayPal executive and renowned venture capitalist David O. Sacks has been appointed by Donald Trump as the White House’s first “AI & Crypto Czar.” This new role is part of Trump’s plan to position America as a global leader in artificial intelligence (AI) and cryptocurrency, two rapidly growing fields shaping the future. The announcement came shortly after Bitcoin reached its $100k milestone.

Why Trump Appointed David Sacks Only?
In a post on Truth Social, Trump announced Sacks’ appointment and highlighted his mission to create a clear legal framework for the cryptocurrency sector. However, Trump’s decision to appoint Sacks arose from his impressive track record as a tech entrepreneur and investor.

Sacks, a founding-era COO of PayPal and a key member of the “PayPal Mafia,” has built and supported some of Silicon Valley’s most successful ventures. His expertise in technology and finance makes him tackle the challenges and opportunities in AI and crypto effectively.

Meanwhile, some experts even hint that Trump’s decision to appoint Sacks is seen as a reward for his loyal support during the campaign. Sacks played a pivotal role in fundraising for Trump, helping to raise $12 million during a high-profile event earlier this year.

What Changes Could Sacks Bring?
David Sacks will focus on creating clear rules for cryptocurrencies to remove confusion and help the U.S. digital asset industry grow. His goal is to support crypto businesses and position the United States as a global leader in digital innovation.

According to Trump, he will “steer us away from Big Tech bias and censorship,” ensuring a balanced digital landscape that supports open discourse. Sacks will also focus on safeguarding free speech in the online space

Additionally, Sacks will chair the Presidential Council of Advisors for Science and Technology, guiding the administration’s policies on emerging technologies.

Sacks Close Ties to Trump and Musk
Sacks has been a strong Trump supporter of Trump, hosting fundraisers and rallying tech industry donors. He also shares close ties with Elon Musk, who has made waves in AI through his company xAI and chatbot Grok. This connection could bring fresh ideas and partnerships to the administration’s tech strategy.

PHILIPPINES COMPLETES WHOLESALE CBDC TRIAL

Today Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) said it completed Proof of Concept trials for its Project Agila wholesale central bank digital currency (wCBDC) along with participating financial institutions.

Specifically, the latest trial tested whether banks in the Philippines can pay each other outside of bank operating hours during evenings, weekends and holidays.

“Wholesale CBDCs are expected to enhance liquidity management, reduce settlement risks, and support financial stability,” said BSP Governor Eli M. Remolona, Jr.

“Insights from this project will guide the BSP’s CBDC roadmap. Our goal is to leverage new technologies to further enhance the efficiency and resilience of the national payment system.”

While the bank hasn’t yet released a report about specific findings, the central bank shared its plans earlier in the year. Many wCBDC trials are quite speculative, but this one is less so. 

The central bank plans to launch a wCBDC during Mr Remolona’s term, which ends in 2029. It is expected to be sooner rather than later, with 2025 or 2026 previously floated as potential timeframes.

Apart from out of hours payments, the wCBDC will potentially be used for securities settlement and cross border payments. The central bank is an observer in the mBridge DLT cross border payment system used by the central banks of China, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, Thailand and the UAE.

During 2023 the BSP assessed various blockchain technologies, selecting Hyperledger Fabric.

Breaking News…

Do you all know how epic this is?

This is akin to the parting of the Red Sea. Just as Moses stretched out his hand, and the waters of the Red Sea divided, allowing the Israelites to pass on dry ground, Ripple has now stretched forth its digital hand, creating a trustline of such magnitude that it shall lead the way for digital currency in a manner unprecedented.

Imagine, if you will, the walls of water held back by divine will, and now see this trustline as those walls, holding back the chaos of financial instability, providing a path of liquidity through which the future of transactions might safely traverse.

This act by Ripple could be seen as a modern-day covenant, a promise of prosperity and security in the blockchain realm, much like the covenant made with Noah after the flood, marking the end of one era and the beginning of another.

In this new era, 10,000 trillion RLUSD stands as a testament, a beacon of financial innovation, where the old ways of currency are washed away, and in its stead, a new foundation is laid for economic interactions worldwide. As the Israelites looked upon the Promised Land, so too might we look upon this financial landscape with hope and anticipation for what is to come.

10,000 TRILLION RLUSD TRUSTLINE CREATED BY RIPPLE JUST NOW

Iraq/Ripple/XRP (Important Read) Exciting Times For Us All

You all have to understand how monumental this is right now. Iraq has already moved towards a digital economy, including the adoption of Ripple’s blockchain-based application, RippleNet, for international money transfers. This trustline could enhance trust and liquidity in the global financial ecosystem.

If Ripple’s RLUSD is used as a bridge for transactions, it might provide a more stable and efficient pathway for countries like Iraq to engage in international trade, potentially easing the transition of the IQD onto the Forex market.

Iraq adopting Ripple’s technology engaging with RippleNet, this basically streamlines cross-border payments, reducing costs and time. Improved transaction efficiency might encourage quicker integration of the IQD into global forex markets.

We are on the cusp of a new dawn for this entire planet. And you just witnessed a major breakthrough today. Can you imagine how financially abundant life will be for you very soon? I’m sure the CBI is watching this right now.

𝙁𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝘽𝙪𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙩 𝙊𝙛 𝙒𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙏𝙤 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙃𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙈𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙝:

Do you all know how easy it is for the CBI governor of Iraq to come out and make an official statement that the Iraqi Dinar will not gain any significant value for American investors and have this entire train come to a screeching halt? All anticipation and aspirations can be erased in 2 minutes or less.

Do you know how significant this one question is for people who are calling this a scam? People have no clue that the CBI has direct contrast over the Iraqi Dinar that you buy for foreign currency exchange portals online that you are waiting to come our at 1:1 or higher.

The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has direct control over the Iraqi dinar through its monetary policies, currency issuance, and exchange rate management. The CBI is the sole authority that issues Iraqi dinar, ensuring all dinar in circulation originates from its reserves or authorized channels.

The CBI sets the official exchange rate of the dinar, which heavily influences its value on international markets and currency exchanges. Any revaluation or devaluation is entirely controlled by the CBI. The CBI conducts daily dollar auctions to stabilize the dinar and manage liquidity.

This process indirectly affects the supply and demand of dinar on global currency exchange platforms thar you purchase your Dinar from based on the links that you see posted in my comment section from my followers. The CBI monitors and regulates foreign entities dealing with the dinar, including international currency exchange platforms.

This is to prevent unauthorized transactions or market manipulation. This is really that simple people. Your hopes of gaining any significant (ROI) can be settled with one written or verbal statement directly from the source responsible for the supply & demand of this currency. Have you seen anything of the sort since buying?

What A Time To Be Alive

Do you see the future?
Do you see the life you want to live?
Do you see the abundance that will be available?

Because if you don’t today’s news should be a base point where your ideas for a better life actually has a sound mission statement that you can objectively carry out now that you will have the financial means to achieve it.

JUST IN: President-elect Trump says his new crypto Czar David Sacks will "work on legal framework so the crypto industry has the clarity it has been asking for."

Walkingstick  The ending of the auctions is very significant and very telling...It was the reason for all this thievery, all of this profiteering that was the lifeline of the parallel market...This is an interesting moment and I think things are being built and put in possession for this stoppage because they said to the citizens, at that time it will be a financial turning point...What comes after the auctions?  Purchasing power. 

Frank26  Everything is in place for the monetary reform to be given to the Iraqi citizens.  The Prime Minister and Alaq are telling the citizens we are 95% done with the monetary reform.  We also know at the end of this year, December 31st, the auctions come to an end...It was the dollar that was keeping the Iraqi dinar stable.  What are you going to do when you don't have the auction?  When you cannot use the dollar anymore in your country?  ...You gave the dollar because the dollar had a very good exchange rate.  Now the dollar is taken away you need a very good exchange rate.  That is exactly what they are doing in my very strong opinion.  They're saying we're at 95%.  Where's the 5%?  IMO it's an awful lot of different things being requested by Donald Trump by Iraq...

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

BRICS NEWS:  BRICS: WHY TRUMP’S 100% TARIFF PLAY MAY FURTHER DE-DOLLARIZATION

With the president-elect targeting the BRICS bloc specifically, Donald Trump’s proposed 100% tariff plan may only further global de-dollarization efforts. The statement has been met with increased opposition from countries in the global south. Moreover, it represents another clear attempt at the West weaponizing the greenback.

If enacted, the tariff could be the catalyst for inciting continued efforts to abandon the US dollar on a global scale. Although BRICS nations have previously said that they would not seek to ditch the currency, Trump’s policies could drive a necessary recalculation of what would be best for these countries.

Trump’s 100% Tariff Could Mirror Sanctions, Drive Global De-Dollarization

Following his historic victory in the 2024 presidential election, the US dollar has remained a focus for Donald Trump’s incoming administration. Specifically, he has continually said that losing the greenback as the world’s currency would be akin to the country “losing a war.” Therefore, its position in global finances remains a focal point.

That led the incoming president to issue a stark warning to BRICS nations. “The idea that the BRICS are trying to move away from the dollar while we stand by and watch is OVER,” he said in a Truth Social post.

“We require commitment from these countries that they will neither create a new BRCIS currency to replace the mighty US dollar, or they will face 100% tariffs and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful US economy,” he added.

Yet, his recent statement only reinforced the reasons why nations are stepping away from trading in the currency. For BRICS and many others, Trump’s 100% tariff plan may only further de-dollarization. It once again shows that the United States wants to leverage its perceived power for its own economic gains and standing.

The imposition of Western sanctions drove Russia to initiate de-dollarization efforts through its BRICS alliance. The weaponization of the greenback saw the bloc further enhance trade deals. Ultimately, leading to the promotion of local currency trade.

That will only enhance under Trump’s tariff plan. Moreover, it will harm American industries. The current efforts to ditch the US dollar wouldn’t have the same effect on imports that the incoming presidents would. In the end, he may well be shooting his incoming administration in the foot.

ASIA-PACIFIC (APAC) CRYPTO ADOPTION 2024: KEY TRENDS AND INSIGHTS TO KNOW

▪️The Asia-Pacific region has seen a surge in cryptocurrency adoption, far outpacing the global average.

▪️APAC's crypto adoption is driven by real-world use cases and cultural acceptance, rather than just financial speculation.

▪️Countries with better regulatory frameworks are witnessing higher adoption rates and increased institutional interest.

The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is undergoing a major shift in how people use cryptocurrencies. From financial centers like Hong Kong and Singapore to growing markets in Southeast Asia, digital assets are becoming more mainstream. In APAC, crypto isn’t just a way to make money—it’s becoming part of daily life, driven by people and culture, not just technology.

Crypto Adoption Soars Across APAC

A recent report by Consensus, titled “Driven By Demand: The People-Powered Crypto Movement in Asia Pacific,” shows that crypto adoption in APAC has reached 22% in 2024—nearly three times the global average of 7.8%.

Thailand leads the way with a remarkable 43% adoption rate, followed by the UAE (37%), India (32%), and the Philippines (31%). Countries like South Korea (28%) and Hong Kong (24%) are also making progress, while Japan (12%) and Mainland China (17%) are lagging behind.

A Tool for Financial Inclusion

The survey, which included nearly 4,300 participants from ten APAC countries, reveals that more than half of respondents (51%) see digital assets as a key to financial inclusion. Additionally, 37% believe crypto gives them more control over their finances without relying on banks.

This shows that, in APAC, crypto isn’t just about making a profit—it’s a practical tool for everyday use and fits well with the region’s culture.

Crypto’s Everyday Value

Over the past year, the attitude toward cryptocurrencies in APAC has shifted significantly. With fewer scandals and more local activity, trust in the industry has grown. Unlike in some Western regions, where distrust of traditional banks drives crypto adoption, APAC users focus more on crypto’s practical benefits for daily life.

Interestingly, only 18% of people surveyed said they distrust banks. This suggests that in APAC, crypto is seen as a solution to real-world problems, not just a reaction to traditional financial systems.

Race to Become a Crypto Hub

The report also finds that 69% of respondents believe clear regulations are important to protect crypto users. However, the report suggests that regulation alone isn’t what’s driving adoption—it supports the strong demand already present in the market.

Countries with higher adoption rates, like Thailand and the UAE, benefit from clearer regulations, which help the crypto ecosystem grow.

APAC Leading the Global Crypto Charge

Michael Lau, Chairman of Consensus Hong Kong, pointed out that APAC is setting the pace for the global crypto market. He highlighted how recent Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF approvals, along with more institutional investments, are positioning APAC as a leader in creating a more connected global financial future.

With its mix of cultural acceptance, practical use, and evolving regulations, APAC is not only shaping the future of cryptocurrency—it’s influencing the global financial system.

This people-driven movement proves that when demand meets innovation, real change happens.

They Have To Get This Right For America To Have A Real Chance

They Have To Get This Right For America To Have A Real Chance

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  December 5, 2024  

On November 20, 1945, an international tribunal first convened in the Bavarian city of Nuremberg to prosecute key leaders of Nazi Germany for crimes against humanity. The Nuremberg Trials were a key aspect of holding individuals accountable for the brutal acts and genocide committed under Nazi rule.

High-ranking officials, including Hermann Göring and Rudolf Hess, faced charges, and they tended to grab most of the headlines. But plenty of lower ranking officers, and even doctors, faced trial as well. Naturally they tried to defend themselves by claiming they were “only following orders”.

But the Nuremberg Trials established a clear precedent that moral responsibility falls on the individual who committed the crime. “Only following orders” is simply not a valid justification for blatant wrongdoing.

It’s always dangerous territory to bring up the Nazis in any intellectual argument because it’s just so sensational. But in this case the analogy is an important one because we’re ultimately talking about accountability.

Bureaucrats and politicians in the US government commit outrageous, egregious acts of wasteful mismanagement on a daily basis. A lot of it is even deliberate.

And yet no one is ever held accountable. The conservative writer Thomas Sowell once argued that “it is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.”

People in the private sector pay for their mistakes all the time. Businesses who don’t deliver value soon find themselves without customers. Employees who don’t do good work find themselves out of a job.

But government officials have squandered trillions of dollars. They locked down businesses, forced experimental vaccines on children, censored free speech, and violated just about every right imaginable.

How many have been truly held accountable?

Ariel (@Prolotario1): Showed the Iraqi Dinar to a Capital One Manager

I was showing a manager at Capital One the other day all the accounts on X some who I know have Iraqi Dinar. On how people want this to be a scam more than they want me or my followers to be right about holding it for an ROI.

And this manager already has multiple SKRs from investors he is ready to manage once the new exchange rate is released. I live in the real world. Where results are real-time. Face to face contact with banking offers or services to help compound on your capital.

Online opinions remain a virtual remnants of ideas confined to a digital space that has no bearing on organic human interactions with tangible applications. This is something detractors underestimate. IQD is not a stock. Buying it will not raise the price.

Meaning nobody is currently marking up rates on X who are not selling this currency to you but only giving you a heads up on what will happen once the CBI decides it is the right time to reinstate their currency at parity level with the US dollar. Which is designed to level the playing field for all countries.

Mnt Goat  As investors we all...should realize that there is a deal with China and Iraq on providing oil at a fixed price. This deal was brokered by the US Treasury and it included pre-selling some of the U.S. oil credits to China at a fixed price. But these are credits and these credits only materialize when we, as investors then exchange our dinar.  Yes, billions in oil credits...  I talked about these oil credits...when I described... how this RV would be paid for...

Frank26  Everything is in place for the monetary reform to be given to the Iraqi citizens.  The Prime Minister and Alaq are telling the citizens we are 95% done with the monetary reform.  We also know at the end of this year, December 31st, the auctions come to an end...It was the dollar that was keeping the Iraqi dinar stable.  What are you going to do when you don't have the auction?  When you cannot use the dollar anymore in your country?  ...You gave the dollar because the dollar had a very good exchange rate.  Now the dollar is taken away you need a very good exchange rate.  That is exactly what they are doing in my very strong opinion.  They're saying we're at 95%.  Where's the 5%?  IMO it's an awful lot of different things being requested by Donald Trump by Iraq...

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

CITI, JP MORGAN, OTHERS COMPLETE TOKENIZATION SETTLEMENT TRIALS

Ten institutions completed simulated trials of the Regulated Settlement Network (RSN), exploring the use of a shared DLT network to settle tokenized transactions. It was an extension of previous trials of the Regulated Liability Network conducted last year, which included tokenized commercial bank money and tokenized central bank money on the same network.

This time tokenized Treasuries and investment grade bonds were also on the shared ledger, enabling delivery versus payment for wholesale transactions. The trials also explored interoperability with external DLT networks.

Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) acted as coordinator for the institutions involved, which were Citi, J.P. Morgan, Mastercard, Swift, TD Bank N.A., U.S. Bank, USDF, Wells Fargo, Visa, and Zions Bancorp, led by SIFMA.

The group published three reports on the business, technology and legal aspects and will hold a virtual briefing on the RSN trials at 1pm Eastern Time.

The Benefits of Shared DLT Ledgers

Shared institutional networks for tokenized assets are attracting attention for several reasons. If a tokenized Treasury is settled using central bank money on the same ledger, settlement risks are eliminated almost entirely. Smart contracts enable automation and straight through processing. And always-on networks allow for settlement outside of working hours and batch cut off times. That could prove especially convenient to assist overseas clients.

Five thoughtful use cases each demonstrated different benefits. While immediate settlement of Treasury transactions is risk free, institutions prefer net settlement to reduce cash demands.

Today just 20% of repo transactions are centrally cleared, but new SEC rules will require a far larger proportion. Hence, one of the use cases ran a central counterparty (CCP) using the shared ledger that offered multiple settlement windows during the day. That allows firms to settle intraday and take advantage of netting.

While the RSN could become a major network, the group recognizes it won’t be the only DLT network. So other trials explored interoperability with non RSN networks, either using Swift orchestration or via direct APIs.

For example, Mastercard has its Multi Token Network (MTN) which tested payments between two banks using MTN. The interbank settlement was performed on the Regulated Settlement Network (RSN) using central bank money.

Meanwhile, RSN trials used the Canton DLT from Digital Asset. Deloitte assisted SIFMA in coordinating the project and Sullivan & Cromwell provided legal input.

Contributors included BNY Mellon, Broadridge, the  Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC), International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA), Tassat Group, and the non profit MITRE Corporation. The New York Innovation Center (NYIC) at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York participated as a technical observer.

VANCOUVER MAYOR PUSHES BITCOIN AS RESERVE ASSET IN BOLD FINANCIAL PLAN

Vancouver is the latest city to join the discussions on adding Bitcoin to the government’s financial reserves. At a city council meeting on November 26th, Mayor Ken Sim submitted his notice of motion, where he plans to introduce his proposed Bitcoin bill on December 11th.

The city’s proposal is titled ” Preserving the city’s purchasing power through diversification of financial resources: Becoming a Bitcoin-friendly city. ” It aims to integrate Bitcoin into the city’s financial system and make Vancouver a “Bitcoin-friendly city,” using Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and promoting economic development.

Vancouver Makes A Move Towards BTC Adoption

Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim is taking the necessary steps to prepare the city for the blockchain. 

As a Bitcoin supporter, Sim is pushing for widespread adoption to hedge against inflation and promote economic development. In a November 27th meeting, Mayor Sim filed a motion of notice detailing his plan to present the proposal to adopt Bitcoin on December 11th.

Under the proposal, Vancouver will transform into a “Bitcoin City” and authorize the city government to diversify its resources to include Bitcoin. If the council approves, residents of Canada’s third-largest city can purchase Bitcoin.

However, it isn’t clear in the proposal if Sim also authorizes setting up a Bitcoin strategic reserve, similar to the one being pushed by US senator, Cynthia Lummis.

Mayor Sim And His Campaign For Bitcoin

Sim is one of the country’s most vocal supporters of Bitcoin. During the campaign, Sim’s party announced it would accept cryptocurrency donations. He explained that their commitment to blockchain technology demonstrates their plan to accept crypto as donations. He also teased the electorate that he will push for crypto-related policies if he wins.

Sim became Vancouver’s mayor in October 2022. During his tenure as city mayor, he rarely gave speeches or talks on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Interestingly, a book titled “The Bitcoin Standard” by Saifedan Ammous was seen in the mayor’s office during his interview with Global News on November 25th. Many observers pointed to this item in his office as evidence of the mayor’s interest in crypto.

Push For BTC Mainstream Adoption Intensifies

Today, Bitcoin continues to surge in price thanks to a growing mainstream adoption. Sim’s move to integrate Bitcoin into Vancouver’s financial system is just one of the many proposals reported recently. According to Jeff Booth, a blockchain author, Mayor Sim’s proposal aims to promote the adoption of Bitcoin as a reserve asset.

Aside from Vancouver, a few states and governments are working overtime to fast-track Bitcoin’s mainstream adoption.

 For example, the state of Florida plans to tap a portion of its pension funds and use it to buy crypto. Pennsylvania is also planning to set up a Bitcoin reserve. Then, there’s the city of Detroit, which teases a plan to accept Bitcoin as a payment option.

BRICS Bridge: Unlocking a New Era of Currency Sovereignty and Revaluation

BRICS Bridge: Unlocking a New Era of Currency Sovereignty and Revaluation

Awake-In-3D   December 4, 2024

How BRICS Bridge is challenging traditional financial systems to redefine currency values across emerging markets.

The financial world is undergoing a transformation, and BRICS Bridge is at the forefront of this change. By leveraging advanced blockchain technology, BRICS nations are challenging traditional financial systems and reshaping how currencies are valued. This advanced initiative aims to foster monetary sovereignty, reduce dependence on the US dollar, and unlock new opportunities for emerging markets.

With its promise to streamline cross-border transactions and promote fairer currency valuations, BRICS Bridge could herald a new era of economic equity and innovation.

The Vision Behind BRICS Bridge

BRICS Bridge is more than a payment platform; it represents a strategic response to the financial imbalances perpetuated by reliance on US-controlled systems such as SWIFT and the hegemony of the US dollar in international trade. By fostering financial independence, BRICS Bridge aims to empower emerging economies with enhanced monetary sovereignty and reduced exposure to external geopolitical pressures.

One key aspect of this initiative is the potential to bring currencies from emerging markets into sharper focus. Through its integration of digital currencies and blockchain technology, BRICS Bridge provides a framework for transparent, efficient, and secure transactions, which is poised to influence the revaluation of participating nations’ currencies in the broader financial ecosystem.

How BRICS Bridge Could Trigger Currency Revaluation

1. Decoupling from the US Dollar

A central ambition of BRICS Bridge is to diminish dependency on the US dollar, which has long been the dominant reserve currency. For decades, the strength of the dollar has placed emerging market currencies at a disadvantage, often undervalued due to trade imbalances and external debt obligations denominated in dollars.

With BRICS Bridge enabling transactions in local currencies or digital equivalents, member nations can bypass dollar-based exchange rate constraints. This shift will lead to a recalibration of exchange rates, increasing the valuation of emerging currencies and reflecting their true economic potential.

2. Strengthening Intra-regional Trade with BRICS Bridge

By facilitating faster, cheaper, and more secure cross-border payments, BRICS Bridge has the potential to boost trade among its member states and partners. Greater trade volumes will drive demand for local currencies, naturally improving their valuation.

For instance, if Russia trades directly with India using the ruble and rupee through BRICS Bridge, it eliminates the intermediary role of the dollar. As these transactions scale, the ruble and rupee will result in more robust valuations, influencing regional currency markets.

3. Enhancing Financial Stability with BRICS Bridge

The ability to transact without reliance on Western-dominated systems like SWIFT mitigates the risk of external sanctions and financial isolation. This newfound financial stability is a crucial factor in the revaluation of currencies, as it increases investor confidence and reduces the risk premiums often associated with emerging markets.

For countries like South Africa and Brazil, participation in BRICS Bridge will safeguard their economic interests from the impact of geopolitical tensions, thereby bolstering their currencies’ standing.

The Role of Technology in BRICS Bridge

At the heart of BRICS Bridge lies blockchain technology, which underpins the system’s efficiency, security, and transparency. Blockchain’s decentralized nature ensures that transactions are immutable and verifiable, making it an ideal foundation for a trusted cross-border payment platform.

Additionally, the use of digital currencies and tokens further amplifies the platform’s potential. Unlike traditional fiat systems, these digital assets can streamline compliance processes by embedding regulatory checks within the blockchain itself, reducing delays and administrative costs. This efficiency not only strengthens trade relationships but also enhances the perceived stability of participating currencies, positively influencing their valuation.

Challenges and Uncertainties in BRICS Bridge

Despite its transformative potential, BRICS Bridge faces significant challenges. The United States has expressed concerns that such a system will undermine its economic influence and warned that cooperation with Russia’s financial sector will result in losing access to the dollar. These warnings underscore the geopolitical risks associated with implementing a multipolar financial framework.

Additionally, technical and regulatory hurdles are expected to complicate adoption. Differences in technological infrastructure, legal frameworks, and compliance standards among BRICS nations may complicate the system’s rollout. Addressing these challenges will be essential for the initiative to achieve its full potential and exert meaningful influence on currency revaluation.

A Comparison to the BIS mBridge Platform

BRICS Bridge shares conceptual similarities with mBridge, a multi-CBDC (central bank digital currency) platform previously overseen by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). While mBridge aimed to explore cross-border digital currency transactions, the BIS stepped back after the project matured, citing its readiness for independent development.

BRICS Bridge, however, is distinguished by its explicit focus on reducing Western financial influence and fostering alliances among emerging markets. This unique positioning aligns the platform more closely with efforts to achieve a Global Currency Reset (GCR), where emerging markets play a central role in reshaping the financial order.

Opportunities for Broader Participation in BRICS Bridge

The success of BRICS Bridge will depend on its ability to integrate additional partners from outside the core BRICS membership. Nations like Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE have shown interest in exploring digital payment systems and blockchain-based trade platforms.

• Oman could serve as a critical conduit between BRICS and Middle Eastern markets.

• Saudi Arabia has already participated in digital currency initiatives like Project mBridge, signaling its openness to similar collaborations.

• The UAE has invested in Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and CBDCs to enhance trade flexibility.

• Bahrain could act as a bridge for smoother Gulf integration, bringing additional trade and financial flows into the system.

Expanding participation will not only strengthen the platform but also amplify its impact on currency valuation trends across emerging markets.

The Bottom Line

BRICS Bridge represents a bold step toward a more balanced and inclusive financial future. By leveraging blockchain technology to enable direct, dollar-independent transactions, the platform has the potential to recalibrate the valuation of emerging market currencies, enhancing their global standing.

While challenges remain, the initiative underscores a growing recognition among BRICS nations and their allies that the time has come to reshape the financial order. As BRICS Bridge progresses, it will serve as a critical component of the wider initiative toward a Global Currency Reset, signaling a new era of monetary stability and equity for emerging markets worldwide.

Walkingstick  Back in 2003 the reason why the auctions were put in was to stabilize the exchange rate of the Iraq dinar but it didn't work because of the thievery and stealing.  So we gave them the US dollar in order to do this but once again it got out of control.  Now on December 31 of this year these auctions are going to die...What will they use to maintain their currency stability?  IMO exactly what they've been teaching them...A basket of foreign currencies with a new exchange rate where the IQD will be paired against other foreign currencies, which they have already admitted to that they have...It means their currency will now be convertible in that basket with no restrictions...What would be an example of all of this?  The new lower notes.

Frank26  Question "Will there be taxes?  37% on short term - 20% on long term?" Yeah, that's about right,  somewhere in that ball park.  Ask a professional because I certainly don't know the exact tax code... Question "We had currency for a year or more and we decided to buy more, will we still have to pay 40%?"  Yes, every time you buy whatever you buy, your receipt verifies your time frame.  That's why your receipt is so important.  If you're ever audited you need to prove your time frame.  [Dinar Guru Note:  Consult your tax professionals to determine the right tax for your unique circumstances.]

Good Morning Dinar Recaps, 

MISSOURI BILL WOULD BAN CBDCS, MAKE GOLD AND SILVER LEGAL TENDER

Missouri lawmakers have been trying hard to pass an anti-CBDC bill, and one of these days, they may succeed.

Attempts continue in the US state of Missouri to prohibit the potential use of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). The state has seen several bills this year to stave off the digital currency, which does not currently exist in the United States.

Bullion yes, CBDC no

Republican Senator Rick Brattin pre-filed Senate Bill (SB) 194 on Dec. 1. The bill introduces changes to state law that would prohibit public entities from accepting a CBDC or participating in any testing of a CBDC. It also changes the definition of money in the state’s Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) to exclude CBDCs.

In addition to the provisions on CBDCs, the bill would require the state treasurer to keep at least 1% of state funds in gold and silver. It would also exempt the sale or exchange of gold and silver from the state capital gains tax and make gold and silver legal tender.

“The act declares that gold and silver shall be accepted as legal tender at their spot price plus market premium […] in the state of Missouri. Costs incurred in the course of verification of the weight and purity of any gold or silver […] shall be borne by the receiving entity.”

Massive legislative anti-CBDC push

The bill’s provisions on CBDC are similar or identical to those in other bills introduced in Missouri earlier this year.

SB 1352 would make numerous changes to the state UCC, including a prohibition on CBDCs. It is still in committee. House Bill 2780 would also ban CBDCs and affect a variety of commercial transactions. It passed a House vote and has been forwarded to the state Senate.

SB 826 concerned CBDCs alone and failed to pass. SB 736 and its companion bill in the state House of Representatives concerned CBDCs and gold and silver and failed to pass. Brattin had previously introduced SB 866, which contained substantially identical provisions with differences in wording. It died in committee.

Anti-CBDC legislation is being passed in an increasing number of US states. Louisiana and North Carolina have passed laws to that effect in recent months.

The struggle against CBDC has been taken up on the national level as well. The US House of Representatives passed the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act on May 23.

BITCOIN ENDORSED BY US FED CHAIR POWELL AND RUSSIA’S PUTIN IN HISTORIC SHIFT

In an unprecedented turn of events, Bitcoin received endorsements from two of the world’s most influential leaders yesterday. US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and Russian President Vladimir Putin independently acknowledged the cryptocurrency’s growing significance during separate events on December 4, 2024. Their remarks signal a potential paradigm shift in the global financial landscape, as Bitcoin continues to gain mainstream acceptance.

Jerome Powell Compares Bitcoin To Gold

During the New York Times DealBook Summit, Jerome Powell engaged in a  conversation with Andrew Sorkin about the role of cryptocurrencies in the banking system. When questioned about Bitcoin’s rising prominence and talks in Washington about creating a strategic BTC reserve, Powell outlined the Federal Reserve’s perspective.

“From the jobs that we have, what’s relevant is really two things,” Powell said. “One is just, you know, what role should crypto assets be allowed to play in the banking system. We try to keep the banking system safe and sound. We regulate and supervise banks, and we would want the interaction between the crypto business and the banks to not threaten the health and wellbeing of the banks.”

Powell added that the other task of the US Federal Reserve is consumer protection. “We would want the public to know crypto products and things like that. There’s sort of a consumer protection aspect of it. They need to understand exactly what it is. But we don’t regulate it directly and we don’t have that big of a role.”

When asked if he would ever own Bitcoin himself, Powell succinctly replied, “I’m not allowed to.”

Sorkin then suggested that BTC might symbolize people’s faith—or lack thereof—in the US dollar or the Federal Reserve. Powell responded by likening Bitcoin to a traditional store of value: “I don’t think that’s how people think about it. I mean, people use Bitcoin as a speculative asset, right? It’s like gold.

It’s just like gold, only it’s virtual. It’s digital. People are not using it as a form of payment or as a store of value. It’s highly volatile. It’s not a competitor for the dollar. It’s really a competitor for gold. You know, that’s really how I think of it.”

Vladimir Putin Highlights Bitcoin’s Resilience

On the same day, President Vladimir Putin spoke at the Russia Calling forum, where he discussed the diminishing dominance of the US dollar and the rise of alternative financial instruments. Putin emphasized the inevitability of new technologies like BTC in reshaping the global economy.

“The use of the dollar as a world currency gives the US a lot of money,” Putin stated. “Thanks to the dollar, the US continues to exploit other economies of the world for their benefit.

One thing is to prohibit the use of dollars and the other thing is not to use it. That is why we see (economic) processes with the use of other instruments.”

He pointedly added, “For instance, who can ban Bitcoin? Nobody. And who can prohibit the use of other electronic means of payment? Nobody. Because these are new technologies.

And no matter what happens to the dollar, these tools will develop one way or another, because everyone will strive to reduce costs and increase reliability.”

Putin also commented on the global shift away from the dollar: “Even the countries that are allies of the US reduced their currency reserves in dollars and in euros.”

Reactions From Community

The endorsements from Powell and Putin sparked immediate reactions from prominent figures in the cryptocurrency space. Vijay Boyapati, a former Google engineer and author known for his book The Bullish Case for Bitcoin, took to X to express his thoughts: 

“Jerome Powell calling Bitcoin digital gold is the biggest endorsement of Bitcoin yet, if you understand where financial power lies. Bigger than Fink or even Trump.”

David Bailey, CEO of BTC Inc and advisor to former President Trump’s team—who was instrumental in turning Trump pro-Bitcoin —also weighed in via X: “The Bitcoin Space Race is here. […] It couldn’t be more clear what’s happening. It must be a national priority to stand up the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in the first 100 days of the Trump admin. We need an aggressive plan to grow USA’s proportional ownership of the Bitcoin supply.”

Tishwash:  Government advisor: The budget is hedged by the oil price at $70 and the deficit is 64 trillion dinars

The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed today, Wednesday, that "the federal general budget No. 13 for the year 2023 (the three-year budget) is hedged by the price of a barrel of oil at $70.

Saleh told Al Furat News Agency, "Any increase in oil prices, assuming fixed production and export quantities, will lead to reducing the hypothetical budget deficit gap of 64 trillion dinars."

He  explained that "despite the above, reducing Iraq's share of production within OPEC + is supposed to remove any potential glut in the supply of crude oil in the energy market, which leads to prices being higher than what is estimated in the budget and may even compensate for the shortfall in the quantities of oil produced that were reduced at the same time."

The House of Representatives is scheduled to begin its session tomorrow, Thursday, with the second reading of amending the three-year budget law.

And So It Begins (For Real This Time)

For those who have always been confused by the “So It Begins” Mr. Pool images with the multi colored mountain Ice caps.

Ripple, the company behind XRP, has partnerships with financial institutions globally. If South Korea’s situation leads to a need for more efficient cross-border payments, Ripple’s technology could see increased adoption.

Political instability or emergency measures like martial law can lead to increased market volatility. Investors might turn to cryptocurrencies like XRP as a hedge against uncertainty.

South Korea is known for being one of the more crypto-friendly countries. Any emergency economic measures might include or affect cryptocurrency regulations, potentially boosting XRP if Ripple’s efforts in regulatory compliance are seen favorably.

Many people do not understand. XRP is positioned as a bridge currency for cross-border payments, directly challenging traditional banking systems. Its rise could lead to significant shifts in how countries handle international trade and currency reserves.

Think about it. In general If there was a significant shift in the cryptocurrency market, especially with a major asset like XRP, leading to financial instability or a perceived threat to the national economy, a government usually considers drastic measures.

If South Korea is integrating blockchain technology like XRP into its financial system, such rapid changes could cause market instability, prompting drastic measures to maintain control. But ofcourse mainstream news will not tell you this. But the signs are there.

The declaration of martial law could be aimed at mitigating potential unrest related to a sudden shift in financial systems or the collapse of legacy systems tied to the rise of cryptocurrencies like XRP. Which we are all witnessing at this very moment.
