Tishwash:  Iraq's gold reserves rise to more than 17 trillion dinars

The Central Bank of Iraq announced, on Sunday, that it recorded a growth in its gold reserves by 45.1% in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the same quarter of the previous year.

The bank stated in a statement today that its gold reserves "increased from 12.29 trillion dinars in the fourth quarter of 2023 to 17.83 trillion dinars for the same quarter in 2024 as a result of the increase in the quantity of gold and gold prices.

The statement added, "This has many benefits, as it enhances economic and financial stability, protects against risks, and is considered an important tool for intervening in the foreign exchange market." link

Tishwash:  The Federal Finance will begin funding February salaries for the region’s employees within two days

An informed source revealed, today, Sunday (March 2, 2025), that the Federal Ministry of Finance will begin financing the salaries of Kurdistan Region employees within the next two days.

The source told Baghdad Today, "The lists sent by the regional government have been audited, and the financing of employees' salaries in Kurdistan will begin within the next two days, after all the problems."

He added, "The Federal Ministry of Finance will send 950 billion dinars to finance February salaries, after which the regional government will announce a schedule for disbursing salaries."

Yesterday, Saturday (March 1, 2025), a responsible Kurdish source stated that the Ministry of Finance will send February salaries to the region’s employees in the middle of next week, confirming that there is a problem with the agreement between the region and the center.

It seems that the source expressed his fear to "Baghdad Today", saying, "The regional government did not abide by the terms of the agreement with Baghdad, and this may cause problems with salaries."

Meanwhile, the member of the Kurdistan Justice Party, Ribwar Muhammad Amin, confirmed earlier that the federal banks had expressed their readiness to localize the salaries of Kurdistan employees, presenting the argument to the regional government. link

Tishwash:  Sudanese Advisor: Digital currency is a qualitative leap that improves oversight and supports combating money laundering

The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, praised, on Saturday, the Central Bank of Iraq’s move towards issuing a digital currency, considering it a qualitative leap that enhances transparency and control over financial flows, improves oversight of capital and foreign transfers, and supports efforts to combat money laundering. 

Saleh said in a statement reported by the official news agency, and seen by "Al-Eqtisad News", that "the Central Bank is moving towards issuing a digital currency as a gradual alternative to paper currency," indicating that "this trend represents a qualitative leap in the national digital payments system." 

He added, "This step will achieve many benefits, including reducing cash leakage, lowering printing costs, and limiting the circulation of paper currency outside the banking system, in addition to reducing the need to print money repeatedly, which reduces the costs associated with its production and distribution, in addition to enhancing transparency and control over financial flows and the ability to track digital liquidity and spending trends, whether consumption, savings or investment, in addition to improving control over capital and foreign transfers, and supporting efforts to combat money laundering." 

He pointed out that "digital currencies contribute to achieving financial inclusion, especially for groups less integrated into the banking system, which contributes to enhancing economic and social integration." 

He stressed that "the transition to digital currency requires a strong technical infrastructure that includes reliable and advanced internet networks and advanced cybersecurity systems to protect data and transactions, in addition to promoting a culture of societal acceptance of digital currencies, starting with government agencies, through their use in collection operations and official transactions." 

He explained that "digital cash will maintain its traditional functions as a unit of account, payments and savings, with the possibility of using it online and on smartphones, which will contribute to developing a more stable and efficient financial environment."  link

Something Unprecedented is Happening with Gold—A Gold Monetary Reset is Happening Now

Something Unprecedented is Happening with Gold—A Gold Monetary Reset is Happening Now

Awake-In-3D  February 28, 2025

Gold is reclaiming its role in the financial system, signaling a shift we haven’t seen in over five decades.

A Monetary Shift Unlike Any Other

For the first time since 1971, gold is no longer just a hedge against inflation—it is at the center of a financial shift that could redefine the global monetary system. The world has relied on a debt-driven economy for decades, but cracks are beginning to show. Now, a gold monetary reset is unfolding, and the implications could be historic.

What’s driving this transformation, and what does it mean for the future of money? The answers lie in a series of economic and geopolitical moves that are reshaping the role of gold in ways we haven’t seen in over 50 years.

Text links highlighted in blue are informative things I read. You should too! 

The 1971 Shock: The Last Time Gold Threatened the System

To understand why gold is now at the forefront of a potential monetary reset, we must look back to August 15, 1971, when President Richard Nixon suspended the dollar’s convertibility into gold.

• Up until then, foreign governments could redeem U.S. dollars for gold at $35 per ounce.

• But rising U.S. debt, inflation, and excessive money printing made this system unsustainable.

• When France and other nations began demanding gold for their dollars, Nixon abruptly closed the gold window, effectively defaulting on the U.S.’s gold obligations.

Since that moment, the world has relied on a purely debt-based monetary system—one that has allowed governments to print unlimited money but is now reaching its breaking point.

The question is: What happens when the system can no longer sustain itself?

The Global Gold Puzzle: Why These Reserves Matter Now More Than Ever

For decades, the U.S. has claimed to hold 8,133 metric tons of gold—more than any other nation. Yet where this gold is actually stored is often overlooked:

• Fort Knox: Allegedly holds 4,581 metric tons (~56% of total U.S. reserves). This is the site most people associate with U.S. gold holdings, but it has not undergone a full audit in over 40 years.

• New York Federal Reserve: Stores roughly 6,190 metric tons of gold—more gold than Fort Knox—but most of this belongs to foreign governments, central banks, and international organizations rather than the U.S. Treasury.

Despite the New York Fed housing more gold than Fort Knox, its role in U.S. gold policy is rarely discussed. Some reports indicate that much of this gold is leased, swapped, or rehypothecated, meaning multiple parties hold claims on the same gold.

Why does this matter now? Because if the world begins to doubt the existence or accessibility of U.S. gold, confidence in the dollar’s credibility could erode rapidly—accelerating a shift away from the fiat-based system.

The Shocking Gold Disconnect: Markets Are Ignoring the Obvious

The financial world continues to ignore gold’s increasing significance. Consider this:

• Central banks globally hold $3 trillion worth of gold, yet Microsoft alone has a market capitalization of $3 trillion.

• The gold price (currently ranging between 42,850 and 42,950 per ounce over the past week) has failed to reflect its historical role in economic stability, despite rising debt and inflation.

• The U.S. national debt now exceeds $36 trillion, making it mathematically impossible to repay without massive inflation or a currency reset.

This massive disconnect between gold and financial assets suggests that gold remains artificially suppressed—but history shows that suppression never lasts forever. When it breaks, it does so violently and suddenly.

The Acceleration Phase: Why This Gold Monetary Reset Will Be Unlike Any Other

For decades, gold has been dismissed as a relic of the past. But now, central banks are buying at record levels, signaling that something big is coming:

• 2022-2023: Central banks purchased more gold than at any time in history, even surpassing the Bretton Woods era.

• The gold-silver ratio is 91:1, meaning silver is historically undervalued and could move 2-3 times faster than gold in an upcoming rally.

• Interest rates are rising, making debt-based assets less attractive, while gold, which has no counterparty risk, is becoming more desirable.

Unlike previous gold bull markets, this one stems from structural cracks in the global financial system—not just investor speculation.

The Endgame: Is a Global Gold Monetary Reset Already Underway?

What if the real story isn’t about gold’s price, but rather its return to monetary dominance? There are growing signs that a new gold-backed system is being quietly prepared:

• BRICS nations are increasing gold reserves, with China’s gold purchases accelerating significantly.

• The IMF has hinted at a new global reserve currency based on a basket of assets and gold. The IMF currently holds over 2,800 metric tons of gold! Did you know that? I didn’t…

• U.S. Treasury bonds are losing their global appeal, leading to speculation that a gold-backed alternative may emerge.

We may be witnessing the beginning of a financial transition where gold regains its place as a global standard.

The Gold Monetary Reset Reckoning Has Arrived

For the first time since 1971, gold is being forced back into the spotlight—not by choice, but by necessity. The world’s debt-driven system is crumbling under its own weight, and history suggests that when fiat money loses trust, gold becomes the default solution.

This isn’t just another gold rally. This is the beginning of a structural shift—a move toward a gold monetary reset where gold plays a defining role.

The question is no longer if gold will reassert itself, but when—and whether you’ll be prepared when it does.

Good afternoon Dinar Recaps,

RUSSIA WANTS TO REVERSE DE-DOLLARIZATION: WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE US DOLLAR?

The US dollar has always been surrounded by serious foes and enemies, the ones that want to derail its reserve currency status.

To expedite the de-dollarization concept, Russia and China have always been quite vocal about their ideas, adding how they both want to derail the US dollar hegemony by putting forth the idea of the multi-polar currency world.

This roughly sparked the promotion of local currencies on an international scale, jeopardizing the dollar’s supremacy. With the US and EU sanctioning Russia and expelling it out of the SWIFT system, Russia opted for yuan, all while promoting the narrative of de-dollarization at a rapid pace.

But now it seems that things have started to take an interesting turn, with Russia showing a softening stance against the US. What is this all about? Let’s find out.

Tables Turning Around: Trump Supporting Russia

With Donald Trump assuming the role of the US president, his ideas of bolstering the US economy via tariffs have been gaining widespread momentum. Apart from that, another significant development that has caught the world’s attention is Trump’s increased effort to conclude the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war. 

The US president has often been noted stating the gruesome repercussions of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, adding that Zelensky should have made a deal to end the war earlier, showing a supportive stance towards Russia.

“I hear that they’re upset about not having a seat. Well, they’ve had a seat for three years and a long time before that. This could have been settled very easily… Russia wants to do something. They want to stop the savage barbarism.”

"You should have never started it. You could have made a deal…I could have made a deal for Ukraine… That would have given them almost all of the land, everything. Almost all of the land—and no people would have been killed, and no city would have been demolished.”

Trump earlier shared how he has the power to end the war.

“I think I have the power to end this war,” he added.

De-Dollarization To End: Russia Praises Trump

On the other hand, Russian PM Vladimir Putin has notably praised Trump’s effort to resolve the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.

“Let me note that the first contacts with the American administration instill hope. They too are willing to work towards resuming our ties, solving a colossal amount of strategic problems in world architecture.”

In addition to this, Putin also acknowledged how certain external forces are trying to disrupt the budding Russian-US sense of friendship and commitment.

“I understand that not everybody is pleased with the resumption of Russian-American contacts. Some of the forces are interested in keeping hostilities, and they will try to disrupt the emerging dialogue. We will need to use all the possibilities of diplomacy and special forces to firmly defend our national interests.”

With such developments taking place, the Russia-US fostering relationship could ultimately result in a lasting resolution thwarting BRICS efforts of derailing the US dollar. This development can ultimately put a stop to the rising de-dollarization concepts and ideations.

RUSSIA DELAYS DIGITAL RUBLE CBDC ROLLOUT

A year ago, the Bank of Russia set July 2025 as the date for the first launch phase of its digital ruble central bank digital currency (CBDC). Now the central bank is delaying the roll out. It follows resistance from merchants, a major banking association, and its largest bank, Sber.

The big bank was excluded from the first wave of banks involved in the pilot, so it only joined this January, a year later than planned. Perhaps its inclusion was delayed to avoid it dominating trials, but that’s speculation. The reality is that six months from the first pilot to launch is rather short for a bank.

Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina announced the delay at a meeting with the Association of Russian Banks (ASROS). However, she said that the pilots are progressing well.

“Our intention is to move on to the mass implementation of the digital ruble somewhat later than originally planned, namely after we have worked out all the details in the pilot and held consultations with banks on the economic model that is most attractive to their clients – for businesses, for people,” the Governor said, as reported by the Association.

The central bank first shared details about the planned business model late last year.

A new schedule has not yet been set, and the central bank did not mention the delay on its website. However, the launch postponement was also reported by the Interfax news agency.

Digital ruble: addressing bank concerns

When banks raised their concerns in the State Duma in December, they highlighted several issues. The main ones were worries about deposit outflows and the costs of implementation.

On the first point, from the start the central bank has appeared unconcerned about this impact. This may be partly because it plans a three phase rollout. Initially larger banks and merchants will join, followed by other banks and mid-sized merchants. The final phase will require non bank providers and all merchants to participate, but that will be two years later.

Regarding the expense, the banking association estimated the cost to a bank could be up to Rubles 100 million ($1.1m). The central bank says it will provide some technical elements to banks free of charge, to help smaller banks.

“For those components that are mandatory from the point of view of information security, we (will) provide these solutions to banks free of charge. This software module for embedding is created and transferred to organizations, and in three different forms, so that banks can choose the most optimal one for their landscape,” said Deputy Governor of the Bank of Russia, Zulfiya Kakhrumanova.

“We provide free cryptographic information protection tools for subordinate certification centers that are deployed by banks, and this is also a significant cost aspect for banks,” she added, according to Interfax.

ARIZONA APPROVES BITCOIN RESERVES, BUT WYOMING AND MONTANA ARE SAYING NO – HERE’S WHY

▪Arizona advances crypto legislation - two bills, one establishing a digital asset reserve and another focused on Bitcoin investment

▪While Arizona embraces crypto reserves, other states like Wyoming and Montana reject them due to volatility concerns.

▪Bitcoin's recent price drop fuels skepticism, while predictions suggest federal crypto legislation is forthcoming.

Arizona is pushing ahead with cryptocurrency investment as two Bitcoin reserve bills have passed the Senate, setting the stage for final approval in the state’s House of Representatives.

While states like Wyoming and Montana are rejecting similar measures over concerns about crypto’s volatility, Arizona is doubling down on digital assets.

If these bills pass in the state’s House of Representatives, Arizona could become one of the first states to officially hold Bitcoin in its reserves.

Senate Approves Bitcoin Reserve Bills

On Feb. 27, the Arizona Senate approved the Strategic Digital Assets Reserve bill (SB 1373) in a 17-12 vote, sending it to the House for final approval. Sponsored by Republican Senator Mark Finchem, the bill aims to create a Digital Assets Strategic Reserve Fund, which will be managed by the state treasurer. The fund will include legislative appropriations and crypto assets seized by the state.

To limit risk, the treasurer would be allowed to invest no more than 10% of total fund deposits per fiscal year. However, the state could loan out digital assets to generate returns as long as it doesn’t add financial risk.

Another Bill Aims to Allow Bitcoin Investments

A second Bitcoin-related bill is also moving forward. The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act (SB 1025), co-sponsored by Republican Senator Wendy Rogers and Representative Jeff Weninger, passed the Senate with a 17-11 vote.

Unlike Finchem’s bill, which focuses on managing seized crypto assets, SB 1025 allows the state to invest public funds directly into Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. This signals Arizona’s growing commitment to incorporating digital assets into its financial strategy.

Crypto Legislation Gaining Momentum Nationwide

Dennis Porter, founder of Satoshi Action Fund, believes federal regulation of cryptocurrencies is inevitable. He predicts lawmakers will first regulate stablecoins, followed by broader market structure rules, and eventually, Bitcoin reserves.

While Arizona and Utah are leading the push for crypto reserves, 18 other states are still waiting for approval. However, not all states are on board—Montana, Wyoming, and others have rejected similar plans, calling Bitcoin too risky.

Trump Weighs Heavy on the Markets

Despite increasing political support for crypto, Bitcoin’s price has taken a hit. The asset dropped below $80K, and analysts fear it could fall further to $70K–$75K. Bitcoin is down 17% this week, with Trump’s tariff policies adding to market uncertainty.

Amid the panic, Michael Saylor jokingly told investors to “sell a kidney if you must, but keep the Bitcoin.” While Saylor continues to advocate for a U.S. Bitcoin reserve, the recent price drop has given skeptics more reason to doubt Bitcoin’s long-term stability.

ITCOIN NOT FIT FOR SWISS NATIONAL BANK RESERVES, SAYS PRESIDENT

▪The Swiss National Bank president dismissed the idea of holding Bitcoin in reserves due to volatility, liquidity concerns, and security risks.

▪The SNB views cryptocurrencies as a small, volatile "niche phenomenon" unsuitable for central bank reserves.

▪A Swiss initiative is pushing for a public vote to mandate the SNB to include Bitcoin in its reserves.

The Swiss National Bank (SNB) has made its stance on Bitcoin crystal clear—it’s not interested. Despite growing global adoption and a push from Swiss crypto advocates, SNB President Martin Schlegel has firmly rejected the idea of adding Bitcoin to the bank’s reserves.

In a recent interview, he explained why digital assets don’t make the cut, pointing to volatility, liquidity concerns, and security risks.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Sat. 1 March 2025

Compiled Sat. 1 March 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

THE SYSTEM OF CONTROL IS BEING OBLITERATED

DEBT FORGIVENESS IS UNDERWAY: Illegitimate loans, mortgages, and credit card debts are (allegedly) being wiped clean. The fraudulent banking system is (allegedly) over.

THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS COLLAPSING: The private banking cartel that controlled America since 1913 is being (allegedly) absorbed into the U.S. Treasury.

TRILLIONS IN STOLEN WEALTH SEIZED: Offshore accounts, hidden trusts, and gold reserves are being (allegedly) taken from the Deepstate and returned to the people.

THE IRS IS BEING ABOLISHED: The corrupt tax system that drained Americans for decades is finished. A new, fair tax system is (allegedly) being introduced.

GOLD-BACKED CURRENCY IS COMING: The fiat dollar is (allegedly) dead. The new U.S. Treasury-backed currency will restore economic stability and transparency.

THE QUANTUM FINANCIAL SYSTEM (QFS) IS ONLINE: A new, unhackable, transparent financial system is in place, ensuring no more manipulation by elites.

THE DEEPSTATE IS IN PANIC MODE: Their last moves are exposed:

They are (allegedly) trying to crash the markets—but Trump’s team anticipated it.

They are (allegedly) funding cyberattacks on QFS—but the system is unbreakable.

The Deepstate is(allegedly)  out of time. GESARA is about to be (allegedly) fully unleashed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fri. 28 Feb. 2025 QFS Information Center: The Quantum Financial System EXPOSED! Tier 4B, Currency Revaluation & NESARA/GESARA Payments – The Moment Has Arrived! …John F. Kennedy on Telegram

The Quantum Financial System (QFS) is HERE—and the elites are panicking. A total shift from FIAT to asset-backed currency is unfolding before our eyes. The old system of debt slavery, controlled by central banks, is collapsing. If you’re not paying attention, you’ll be left behind.

Tier 4B: The Internet Group Revelation: For those who have studied the signs, the term Tier 4B is no mystery. This is the moment we’ve been waiting for. If you’ve acquired foreign currencies—like Iraqi Dinar, Vietnamese Dong, or Zimbabwe Zim—anticipating revaluation, you may be on the list for redemption. But there’s disinformation everywhere—and that’s by design. The deepstate does NOT want you to know this is happening.

The Financial War—QFS vs. The Old System: The elites have ruled through FIAT currency, creating endless debt and inflation. But the Quantum Financial System is (allegedly) designed to END their control. Once activated, QFS ensures every transaction is fully traceable, hack-proof, and immune to manipulation. This is why central banks are scrambling—they CANNOT reconcile their old money into QFS. Their time is OVER.

NESARA/GESARA: The Hidden Wealth They Didn’t Want You to Have: For years, the cabal hoarded wealth, using birth certificates, mortgages, and taxes to steal from YOU. NESARA/GESARA is about releasing TRILLIONS back to the people. It’s no coincidence that governments worldwide are suddenly talking about “restructuring debt”—they know the game is up. The people who are prepared will THRIVE. Those who remain ignorant will suffer.

Redemption Centers & The Last Chance for Action: If you hold foreign currencies, you may be called to Redemption Centers to exchange them at new rates. This will not be publicly advertised—it’s a controlled process. But once the masses realize what’s happening, chaos will (allegedly) erupt.

ARE YOU READY? The storm is here. The global financial war is peaking. Do not be fooled. Stay vigilant. The window for action is closing FAST. Prepare now—or regret it forever!

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

CARDANO-XRP BRIDGE GOES LIVE – A GAME CHANGER FOR BOTH ECOSYSTEMS

▪Cardano and XRP Ledger now have a direct connection through the Wanchain bridge.

▪The linkup is a mutually beneficial one for native assets within both ecosystems.

Cardano (ADA) and the XRP Ledger (XRPL), two leading blockchains, have formed a coalition to strive for seamless interoperability. Both ecosystems have launched a new bridge, connecting ADA and XRP, the native coin operating on the XRPL.

Cardano and XRPL Expand Interoperability With New Bridge

TapTools, a digital wallet tracking Cardano trading, brought the attention of the crypto community to the Cardano-XRP bridge. This bridge, which is now live, is facilitated by Wanchain, a decentralized blockchain interoperability solution.

As reported by TapTools, the Cardano-XRP bridge is designed to expand interoperability and liquidity between the two networks. This technical advancement marks a massive milestone for both blockchains, representing the first time they connect via a bridge.

Besides promoting interoperability and liquidity, the bridge will support DeFi adoption and enhance utility for both ADA and XRP.

Historically, both communities have different technological and market positioning. However, they can now leverage the new bridge to interact in unprecedented ways.

Users can utilize the bridge to transfer ADA onto the XRP Ledger and vice versa.

It will also increase the Total Value Locked (TVL) for users exploring Decentralized Finance (DeFi) opportunities on Cardano. This increased interoperability is crucial as the world moves swiftly toward widespread blockchain adoption.

Beyond these benefits, the bridge potentially paves the way for integrating Ripple’s stablecoin, RLUSD, as a bridged asset. It is important to note that the Cardano-XRP bridge operates without centralized control. This means users retain control over their assets without interference from a third party.

Meanwhile, Wanchain will help to preserve the underlying value of wrapped versions of XRP and ADA as they seamlessly interact with applications on the opposite chain. 

Wanchain uses a distributed key generation and secure multi-party computation (MPC) mechanism to ensure assets move safely across different blockchains.

Impact on ADA, XRP, and Broader Market

The Wanchain XRP/Cardano bridge will benefit Cardano and the XRP ecosystems in numerous ways. For Cardano, the bridge will help strengthen users’ appeal for the blockchain as more capital flows into ADA-based DeFi platforms. Our latest report covered that the XRPL Decentralized Exchange has surpassed $20 billion in liquidity, highlighting XRP’s expanding role in DeFi.

Also, thanks to this bridge, XRP users are encouraged to explore Cardano’s ecosystem more. This attention toward the network can lead to greater adoption of Cardano’s native smart contracts and Decentralized Applications (dApps).

Regarding XRP, the new bridge can unlock staking, borrowing, lending, and yield farming opportunities previously unavailable to XRP holders. The bridge can also elevate XRP’s role in multi-chain ecosystems, extending its potential beyond traditional payments and remittances.

For the broader market, the new bridge demonstrates that achieving a more interconnected blockchain environment is possible. It also demonstrates the growing importance of interoperability in the blockchain industry and ensures that cryptocurrencies are not isolated.

BRICS CONFIRMS DEVELOPMENT OF NEW PAYMENT SYSTEMS IN 2025

Brazil, which chairs the upcoming BRICS summit in 2025 confirmed that they plan on the formation of new payment systems. Under the leadership of Brazilian President Luiz Lula da Silva, the alliance will discuss alternative payment options to the US dollar.

The BRICS Sherpas meeting will take the ideas forward and the upcoming 17th summit could see massive changes in the way the bloc operates and settles cross-border transactions.

The move could lead to a paradigm shift in global trade and tilt the financial powers from the West to the East. Developing countries are looking to cut ties with the US dollar and strengthen their local currencies in the forex markets.

The US dollar is in the crosshairs of a major shift that could pave the way for native currencies to take the driver’s seat of the financial markets.

BRICS: New Payment Systems in 2025 Could Be a Reality

Brazil’s President Luiz Lula da Silva made a strong statement saying that BRICS will continue advancing the de-dollarization agenda. The President also added that under their leadership, BRICS will work towards developing new payment systems as an alternative to the US dollar.

“Brazil is going during the period of its presidency to fully develop transparent and safe payment systems,” he said. 

The bloc will work towards launching safe payment systems to uplift their GDP and strengthen their native economies. The move will give a boost in the arm to their local currencies making businesses thrive.

The next BRICS summit is scheduled to be held in Brazil’s Rio De Janeiro on July 6th and 7th. All the nine member countries will meet at the summit and discuss policies and sign new trade deals. Details on the new payment systems could be revealed at the 17th summit in July this year.

Tishwash: Iraq among the best in the world in controlling the sale of the dollar

The Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, confirmed today, Saturday, that Iraq has become one of the best countries in the world in controlling the sale of the dollar.

Al-Alaq said in an interview with the official agency, followed by Iraq Observer, that “Iraq has today become one of the best countries in the world in controlling the sale of the dollar, as this process is carried out with transparency and accuracy, and through it the citizen verifies his documents and his departure from the country,” explaining that “this mechanism is the most disciplined, transparent and controlled in the world, as indicated by international experts.”

Al-Alaq added that “false news and media distortion may harm the interests of Iraq and the banking sector,” stressing the importance of being proud of the major developments witnessed by Iraq. He explained that “the government and the Central Bank are working hard to establish sound practices that are compatible with international standards,” calling for “the need to highlight these achievements in the media.”

He pointed out that “highlighting these transformations and developments helps enhance international confidence in the Iraqi banking sector, which is vital to continue developing the financial system in Iraq.”link

Tishwash:  Financial Advisor: Central Bank Digital Currency Will Boost Transparency, Improve National Payments 

The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, explained today, Saturday, that issuing a digital currency for the Central Bank will be an important step towards enhancing transparency and achieving a qualitative leap in the national payments system. 

Saleh said in a statement to the official agency, followed by NRT Arabic, that "the Central Bank plans to issue a digital currency as a gradual alternative to paper currency," noting that this step will contribute to reducing cash leakage and lowering the costs of printing paper currency, in addition to reducing the circulation of money outside the banking system.

He added that the digital currency will allow tracking financial flows, improve control over capital and foreign transfers, support anti-money laundering efforts, and contribute to enhancing financial inclusion, especially for groups less integrated into the banking system.

Saleh explained that Iraq's transition to digital currency requires a strong technical infrastructure, including advanced internet networks and advanced cybersecurity systems to protect data and transactions.

Digital currencies will also support efforts to enhance economic and social integration through government use in collection operations and official transactions.  link

Tishwash:  Reasons for stopping cash withdrawals outside Iraq by TBI

 Today , Friday (February 28, 2025), banking and financial affairs specialist Ahmed Abdul Rabbo revealed  the reasons for stopping cash withdrawals outside Iraq by the Trade Bank of Iraq.

“There is a strong possibility that the decision is related to combating currency smuggling, as the Central Bank of Iraq and financial institutions have previously taken similar measures to limit the exit of the dollar through unofficial means,” Abdul Rabbo told Baghdad Today.

He explained that “some parties were using electronic payment cards to withdraw cash from abroad with money purchased at the official exchange rate inside Iraq, then reselling it at higher prices in the parallel market, which constitutes a type of currency smuggling.”

He explained that "there is a strong possibility that the decision came in response to American pressures related to regulating dollar flows and preventing its smuggling to countries subject to American sanctions, such as Iran. Washington has imposed strict restrictions on Iraqi banks in recent periods, and asked the Central Bank of Iraq to take strict measures to control financial transfers, especially after detecting currency smuggling operations through the use of electronic payment cards."

He added that "the decision appears to have come as part of broader measures to control the banking sector and prevent the misuse of the dollar, and is an extension of previous measures imposed by the Central Bank, either in response to American pressure or as part of efforts to combat financial corruption and smuggling."

Yesterday, Wednesday, the Trade Bank of Iraq announced the suspension of cash withdrawals via ATMs outside Iraq.

The bank's media advisor, Aqil Al-Shuwaili, said in a brief statement, "Due to the risks resulting from the misuse of electronic cards (Visa and MasterCard), and to avoid these risks, cash withdrawals via ATM machines for these cards outside Iraq only have been stopped."

He added, "Cards can be used to pay through POS machines and online."  link

Lawrence Lepard: The Big Print - Make the Money System Great Again

Lawrence Lepard: The Big Print - Make the Money System Great Again

Palisades Gold Radio:  2-28-2025

Tom welcomes back Lawrence Lepard from Equity Management Associates to discuss his new book, "The Big Print: What Happened to America and How Sound Money Will Fix It."

Lepard emphasized that the U.S. monetary system began deteriorating with Nixon's abandonment of the gold standard in 1971, leading to persistent inflation and debt accumulation.

He argued that sound money — gold, silver, and Bitcoin — is essential to fix these issues.

 Gold provides stability, while Bitcoin offers a digital solution to scarcity and divisibility, though it is still volatile.

The interview explored how inflation affects everyday life, with Lepard noting that the government's reported inflation rates often underestimate real costs.

He criticized the Federal Reserve for prioritizing debt servicing over economic fairness, leading to a cycle of printing money that disproportionately harms wage earners. Lepard also discussed the political challenges in transitioning to sound money, suggesting that widespread public awareness and grassroots support are needed to push for systemic change.

He warned against complacency, noting that the U.S. is on a trajectory toward a debt crisis unless decisive action is taken.

 The conversation concluded with Lepard encouraging listeners to engage with his book to better understand these issues and advocating for a future where sound money restores economic health and fairness.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

SEC COMMISSIONER DISSENTS ON AGENCY’S MEMECOIN STANCE

Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw said that the agency’s working definition of memecoins was vague and could be easily misconstrued.

US Securities and Exchange Commission Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw issued a dissenting opinion on the SEC’s recent stance that memecoins are not securities.

According to the commissioner’s Feb. 27 statement, memecoins could satisfy the Howey test’s condition of profiting from the managerial efforts of others due to the coordination between developer teams and promoters.

The commissioner added that most, if not all, cryptocurrencies could be defined as memecoins under the SEC’s recent guidance, which was released on the same day. In this guidance, the agency stated that memecoins represent online social trends with speculative value and high volatility — and are not securities. Commissioner Crenshaw, however, has a different viewpoint:

“Today’s statement paints meme coins as cultural projects whose purpose is entertainment and social engagement. The reality is that meme coins, like any financial product, are issued to make money.”

Memecoins have come into sharper focus following several high-profile scams, hacks and even presidential memecoin launches that threaten the long-term viability of the sector and invite scrutiny from state officials.

US regulators and lawmakers attempt to reign in memecoins

Following US President Donald Trump’s memecoin launch, several Democrat lawmakers, including Elizabeth Warren, called for an investigation into potential ethics violations of the presidential token.

On Feb. 27, California Member of Congress Sam Liccardo announced that House Democrats are prepping a bill that would ban presidential memecoins.

The proposed bill, titled “The Modern Emoluments and Malfeasance Enforcement (MEME) Act,” would prohibit US lawmakers from sponsoring, issuing or endorsing any digital asset.

Moreover, spouses and dependents of US representatives, the president, vice president and senior executive branch officials are also prohibited from issuing or sponsoring memecoins under the bill.

Attorney Elizabeth Davis, former chief attorney at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), recently argued that memecoins should be regulated by the CFTC.

Davis told Cointelegraph that if the commodities regulator is granted regulatory oversight over crypto, then there is a strong likelihood that memecoins will be included in their purview.

The attorney also expressed confidence that comprehensive memecoin regulations would be established in the United States over the next year — putting an end to the regulatory ambiguity surrounding social tokens.

ARIZONA APPROVES BITCOIN RESERVES, BUT WYOMING AND MONTANA ARE SAYING NO – HERE’S WHY

▪Arizona advances crypto legislation - two bills, one establishing a digital asset reserve and another focused on Bitcoin investment

▪While Arizona embraces crypto reserves, other states like Wyoming and Montana reject them due to volatility concerns.

▪Bitcoin's recent price drop fuels skepticism, while predictions suggest federal crypto legislation is forthcoming.

Arizona is pushing ahead with cryptocurrency investment as two Bitcoin reserve bills have passed the Senate, setting the stage for final approval in the state’s House of Representatives.

While states like Wyoming and Montana are rejecting similar measures over concerns about crypto’s volatility, Arizona is doubling down on digital assets.

If these bills pass in the state’s House of Representatives, Arizona could become one of the first states to officially hold Bitcoin in its reserves.

Senate Approves Bitcoin Reserve Bills

On Feb. 27, the Arizona Senate approved the Strategic Digital Assets Reserve bill (SB 1373) in a 17-12 vote, sending it to the House for final approval. Sponsored by Republican Senator Mark Finchem, the bill aims to create a Digital Assets Strategic Reserve Fund, which will be managed by the state treasurer. The fund will include legislative appropriations and crypto assets seized by the state.

To limit risk, the treasurer would be allowed to invest no more than 10% of total fund deposits per fiscal year. However, the state could loan out digital assets to generate returns as long as it doesn’t add financial risk.

Another Bill Aims to Allow Bitcoin Investments

A second Bitcoin-related bill is also moving forward. The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act (SB 1025), co-sponsored by Republican Senator Wendy Rogers and Representative Jeff Weninger, passed the Senate with a 17-11 vote.

Unlike Finchem’s bill, which focuses on managing seized crypto assets, SB 1025 allows the state to invest public funds directly into Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. This signals Arizona’s growing commitment to incorporating digital assets into its financial strategy.

Crypto Legislation Gaining Momentum Nationwide

Dennis Porter, founder of Satoshi Action Fund, believes federal regulation of cryptocurrencies is inevitable. He predicts lawmakers will first regulate stablecoins, followed by broader market structure rules, and eventually, Bitcoin reserves.

While Arizona and Utah are leading the push for crypto reserves, 18 other states are still waiting for approval. However, not all states are on board—Montana, Wyoming, and others have rejected similar plans, calling Bitcoin too risky.

Trump Weighs Heavy on the Markets

Despite increasing political support for crypto, Bitcoin’s price has taken a hit. The asset dropped below $80K, and analysts fear it could fall further to $70K–$75K. Bitcoin is down 17% this week, with Trump’s tariff policies adding to market uncertainty.

Amid the panic, Michael Saylor jokingly told investors to “sell a kidney if you must, but keep the Bitcoin.” While Saylor continues to advocate for a U.S. Bitcoin reserve, the recent price drop has given skeptics more reason to doubt Bitcoin’s long-term stability.

Clare: Analysis detailing the reasons for the fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar over 21 years

2/28/2025

The "Iraq Al-Mustaqbal" Foundation for Economic Studies and Consultations attributed, on Friday, the reasons for the fluctuations in the exchange rate of the dinar against the US dollar in the parallel market over more than two decades in the country to internal and external factors.

This came according to an analysis issued by the institution, in which it explained these fluctuations from 2005 until 2024.

The institution stated in its analysis that "the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against the US dollar in the parallel market witnessed noticeable fluctuations over the course of 21 years, as it was affected by a group of factors ranging from political, legislative and economic."

The analysis added that "supply and demand were the most influential, as the patterns of exchange rate changes differed according to the months of the year as a result of internal and external factors, such as the timing of the launch of the general budget and official holidays in major countries exporting goods to Iraq, such as China and Iran."

He pointed out that "by analyzing the exchange rate data in the parallel market from 2005 to 2024, there appears to be a recurring pattern that reflects the dinar's value being affected by specific months more than others."

According to the institution, “December was the month with the most frequent increase in the value of the dinar, as it witnessed a decline in 13 years out of 21 years, followed by: August and June with increases in the value of the dinar against the dollar in 11 years, then April 10 times, while October and November witnessed an increase 9 times, and March 8 times.”

May was the month with the least frequent decline in the value of the dinar, as its value rose only 4 times during the period studied, which gives a semi-impression that the prices of the dinar against the dollar rise in the months of February, March and April, then decline again against the dollar in May as a result of the strong return of demand in May.

The institution warned in its analysis that "despite this clear seasonal impact on the exchange rate, there are other factors that cannot be ignored, such as the levels of dollar sales by the Central Bank of Iraq, which directly affect the size of the money supply in the market, as well as political and financial factors such as the timing of the release of general budget funds, in addition to geopolitical situations that may cause sudden disturbances in the demand for foreign currency."

The analysis concluded that “the seasonal effect remains one of the main elements in determining the exchange rate trends in Iraq, as a recurring pattern appears at the end of the year and the beginning of the fiscal year, in addition to being affected by official holiday periods in countries exporting goods to Iraq. However, other factors, such as monetary policies and political and economic developments, remain a direct influence on the parallel market, which makes it necessary to monitor all these variables to understand exchange rate changes more accurately.”  LINK

Can Trump Expose Fed’s Gold Cover-Up? Feat. Daniel Lacalle - LFTV Ep 212

Kinesis Money:  2-28-2025

In this week’s Live from the Vault, Andrew Maguire sits down with renowned economist Daniel Lacalle to dissect the shifting global financial landscape, from the erosion of trust in political institutions to the rise of gold as a preferred reserve asset.

 As resistance grows against mainstream narratives, political and economic turns in Europe, the US, and beyond are driving demand for gold, whilst central banks are reducing reliance on sovereign debt, signalling significant market changes ahead.

Homes aren’t Getting More Expensive and Gold Just Proved it

Homes aren’t Getting More Expensive and Gold Just Proved it

Taylor Kenny:  2-27-2025

We’re all feeling the squeeze. Whether it’s at the grocery store, the gas pump, or even just contemplating the dream of homeownership, the rising cost of everything is a palpable reality.

While inflation is the word on everyone’s lips, understanding the why behind this economic phenomenon is crucial to protecting your financial future. And a key piece of the puzzle lies in the history of the US dollar and its relationship with gold.

For decades, wages and housing prices largely moved in tandem, reflecting a relatively stable economic environment.

However, a significant shift occurred in 1971 when the U.S. government completely severed the dollar’s link to gold. This pivotal decision unleashed forces that continue to impact our financial lives today.

Prior to 1971, the dollar’s value was directly tied to gold, meaning a certain amount of dollars could be exchanged for a fixed quantity of gold. This provided a natural constraint on the money supply. With the gold standard abandoned, the Federal Reserve gained the ability to print money virtually without limit.

Without the gold standard to tether it, the dollar’s value became increasingly susceptible to inflation. Printing more money effectively dilutes the existing currency, driving up prices for goods and services.

The detachment of the dollar from gold was a watershed moment in modern economic history. While the full ramifications are still unfolding, understanding the link between monetary policy, inflation, and your purchasing power is paramount.

 By taking proactive steps to protect your wealth through diversification, strategic investments, and a proactive approach to financial planning, you can navigate the challenges of dollar devaluation and build a more secure financial future. Remember, knowledge is power, and informed decisions are your best defense against the silent thief of inflation.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

WHEN IS THE BRICS SUMMIT IN 2025?

Brazil will chair the BRICS summit in 2025 under the helm of President Luiz Lula da Silva. The alliance will reinforce its commitment to reshape the global order and usher their economy into a new financial territory. Apart from discussing financial issues, the bloc will also make decisions on climate change and global governance.

The BRICS alliance will collectively collaborate on policymaking at the 2025 summit and represent the population of developing nations. This year’s summit is important as the nine-member bloc will decide on concrete steps to strengthen their economies. The move could reshape the geopolitical landscape and challenge the Western-dominated global financial order.

When & Where Is The Next BRICS Summit in 2025?

The next BRICS summit in 2025 is scheduled to take place in Brazil’s Rio De Janeiro from July 6th to 7th. The 17th summit will discuss de-dollarization, strengthening of local currencies, new trade deals, and also rewrite policies favoring developing nations. In addition, the alliance might also consensually decide about inducting new countries into the bloc.

Several leaders have hinted that the 17th BRICS summit in 2025 could begin discussions about alternative payment options to the US dollar. Brazil and India have confirmed that they do not support the formation of a BRICS currency. They are looking at various methods to settle cross-border transactions in local currencies.

“This is being discussed in BRICS (2025 summit), at the initiative of (Brazilian President Luiz Lula da Silva). The previous summit stated a decision on the necessity of developing a proposal on alternative payment platforms through finance ministries and central banks.

Such proposals have been made, they suggest, in particular, the creation of a so-called trans-border payment initiative, the creation of a reinsurance company, and the BRICS Clear settlement and depositary infrastructure,” said Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

XRP NEWS TODAY: CLOSED-DOOR MEETING FUELS SPECULATION OVER RIPPLE LAWSUIT DISMISSAL

▪Ripple vs SEC’s closed-door meeting sparks speculation about lawsuit being dismissed soon.

▪Political pressure increases as Senator Lummis challenges SEC’s crypto regulatory approach.

▪Ripple's XRP dropped by 8% but lawsuit dismissal could push price toward $3.20

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) held a closed-door meeting on February 27, 2025, sparking speculation about the future of the Ripple lawsuit. With the SEC recently dropping cases against major crypto firms like Coinbase, Uniswap, and Robinhood, many wonder if Ripple could be next.

Could the SEC End the Ripple Case?

The SEC sued Ripple in December 2020, saying the company sold XRP as an unregistered security. However, Judge Analisa Torres ruled in 2023 that XRP itself is not a security, weakening the SEC’s case.

Now, with increasing pressure on the SEC, people believe the agency might be ready to move on.

At the recent SEC meeting, officials discussed legal matters and settlements. While the details are secret, many think the Ripple case may have been included. Former SEC lawyer Marc Fagel does not believe this is a sign of progress, but pro-XRP lawyer Bill Morgan is confident that Ripple has the upper hand.

Political Pressure May Shake the Market

Senator Cynthia Lummis recently criticized the SEC’s approach to crypto regulation, stating that most digital assets are not securities under the Howey Test. Meanwhile, this aligns with Judge Torres’ ruling in the Ripple case, further strengthening Ripple’s position.

No official decision has been announced yet, but the next key date is April 16, when Ripple must submit its reply to the SEC’s appeal. If the SEC withdraws before then, it could mark the end of the long-running case, paving the way for a brighter future for XRP.

What Next For XRP?

As of now, XRP’s price is trading around $2.03 reflecting a drop of 8.19% with a market cap hitting $142 billion. However, many crypto experts believe that if the SEC drops the case, XRP could rise sharply. Some even predict a jump toward $3.20.

Meanwhile, there is also talk if Ripple lawsuits get dismissed, it will open the door for the approval of an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF), which could push XRP’s price even higher.

Get Ready to Pay for Paris Hilton’s New House [Podcast]

Notes From the Field by James Hickman  (Simon Black) January 14, 2025

In 1913, 24-year-old Charlie Chaplin arrived in Los Angeles, drawn by an offer from Keystone Film Company. Coming from a poverty-stricken childhood in London and a successful vaudeville career, Chaplin found in Los Angeles a place of limitless potential.

The city was largely undeveloped, surrounded by orange groves, open fields and dirt roads where coyotes still roamed. But it offered the perfect backdrop for the burgeoning film industry— mountains, oceans, deserts— and a chance to escape the constraints of traditional theater.

While San Francisco had flourished during the gold rush, Los Angeles was entering its own boom, fueled by filmmaking. Chaplin quickly became the silent era’s most famous actor, transforming the medium while the city grew into the heart of the movie industry.

Like Chaplin, Los Angeles embodied the spirit of creative freedom, shaping modern entertainment for a century.

The city, especially Hollywood, became synonymous with the film industry, and perhaps took that for granted.

Like California in general, LA assumed that however poorly it treated its residents, however burdensome the regulation, however high the taxes, people would still come flocking like there was gold in the hills.

If you ever wanted to be the author of your own decline, follow the example of California, and Los Angeles in particular.

Hollywood has chased away its own industry to burgeoning film locations like Georgia, New Mexico, and Toronto. Georgia especially is raking in the benefits from LA’s decline.

Los Angeles was a one industry town, and they chased it away.

They forced countless lockdowns on the city during COVID, even threatened to cut off water to those who dared to invite guests over. They declared themselves a sanctuary city against federal law, inviting illegals to enjoy a multitude of free benefits— then expected federal dollars to pay for it.

They cut police, and refused to enforce basic laws against things like shoplifting, or keep even serious criminals in prison. They destroyed education, from elementary to university.

And every business and individual is absolutely drowned in useless permitting.

Oh, and with all their idiotic spending priorities, somehow fire fighting, in an area prone to wildfires, seems to be the only thing they were unwilling to properly fund.

Who would want to continue doing business there? Or invest there? Or live there?

And tax revenue and talented workers are part of the exodus.

California ran things into the ground until they no long had money for basic services.

But hey, at least people can still get private insurance when the government fails them!

Oh wait, California has also run them out of town. Because of California’s regulatory burden many insurance companies no longer do business in the state. And that has left a number of people, including those whose homes have burned down, without insurance.

California has long relied on federal bailouts to fund all these idiotic policies. Their COVID lockdowns were paid for with federal tax dollars, and they’ve received bags of cash from the Biden administration to help pay for migrant care.

The damage from these fires could easily exceed $50 billion, and again, since they have chased away insurance companies, I have a funny feeling that California is going to have its hand out to the federal government once again to help people rebuild form a crisis that was not only preventable but a direct result of political incompetence.

Would you be surprised if the federal government came to their rescue, and US taxpayers ended up paying for poor Paris Hilton’s burned out mansion, because no one would give her insurance?

There used to be a saying, "As California goes, so goes the nation."

And to be frank, I think that’s right. The US itself has some deep challenges brought on by the last several years of horrific leadership and terrible priorities.

There is, starting next week, an opportunity to makes things right and get it back on track. And I am certainly rooting for them to pull it off.

If they don’t, we don’t have to wonder what the future of the US looks like— the whole world can see the failures of the left, in Los Angeles today, laid to waste.

And it is a snapshot of what might come if the incoming leadership isn’t able to right the ship.

Tune in to today’s podcast where we talk about this in greater depth, including at the end explaining our whole ethos on building a Plan B.
