Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Thursday Afternoon 8-7-25

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Bank of England Expected to Cut Interest Rate to 4.0% Despite Rising Inflation

• BoE expected to cut rates from 4.25% to 4.0%

• UK inflation accelerates, while growth continues to contract

• GBP/USD at risk of falling toward August lows near 1.3140

The Bank of England (BoE) is poised to announce a 25-basis-point interest rate cut on Thursday, reducing the benchmark rate from 4.25% to 4.0%, according to growing market consensus. Analysts expect that seven out of nine Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) members will vote in favor of the cut, up from just three in the previous meeting.

The decision will be accompanied by the meeting Minutes and the Monetary Policy Report, offering insight into the BoE’s updated economic outlook and inflation projections. Following the announcement, Governor Andrew Bailey is scheduled to deliver a press conference outlining the rationale behind the rate cut and potentially signaling the bank’s future policy trajectory.

Economic Backdrop: A Conflicting Picture

The BoE last held rates steady in June. At that time, three MPC members cited:

• Weakened labor market conditions

• Subdued consumer demand

• Wage growth trending toward sustainable levels

Since then, economic indicators have continued to show strain:

• UK GDP contracted 0.1% MoM in May, following a 0.3% contraction in April

• Production output fell 0.9%

• Construction output declined 0.6%

• Services output rose slightly by 0.1%

These figures paint a troubling picture of a slowing UK economy, just ahead of the Q2 GDP estimate set for release on August 14.

Inflation Rebounds—Complicating the BoE’s Dilemma

Despite declining growth, inflation rose sharply in June:

• Headline CPI climbed to 3.6% YoY, up from 3.4% in May

• Core CPI increased to 3.7% YoY, from 3.5%

• Services inflation held steady at 4.7%, with food prices showing their biggest jump since February 2024

Meanwhile, labor market conditions continue to loosen, with the unemployment rate climbing to 4.7% in April, from 4.4% at the start of the year.

As the central bank weighs slowing growth against persistent inflationary pressures, Governor Bailey recently reiterated:

“I really do believe the path is downward”—referring to interest rates.

Revised Economic Forecasts Expected

Analysts anticipate that the BoE may:

• Upgrade inflation projections due to sticky services inflation and rising food prices

• Downgrade growth expectations, reflecting weak consumer demand and broad-based output declines

Market Reaction: GBP/USD Faces Downside Risk

Ahead of the announcement, GBP/USD is trading just above 1.3300, struggling to extend gains. The central bank’s split vote and cautious tone are expected to exert downward pressure on the British Pound.

According to Valeria Bednarik, Chief Analyst at FXStreet:

“The GBP/USD pair hovers around its weekly peak in the 1.3330 region, without any technical sign of additional gains ahead.”

She continues:

“The pair could turn bullish only if it breaks above 1.3400, an unlikely scenario given the expected BoE announcement. On the downside, watch the 1.3250 support—if breached, GBP/USD could target the August low at 1.3141.”

Conclusion

The Bank of England faces a complex policy crossroads: inflation is rising, but growth is faltering. While a rate cut appears imminent, the communication strategy and vote split may be the biggest market movers. The fate of the GBP/USD pair hangs in the balance, with downside risks mounting unless the BoE delivers a surprisingly hawkish outlook.

Canada & Mexico to Join BRICS? The Fall of the US Dollar in 2024?

• Exploring BRICS Expansion in the Western Hemisphere

• Mexico formally declines BRICS membership

• Canada remains silent on BRICS engagement

• Is the US Dollar's global dominance at risk?

Potential Expansion of BRICS: An Analysis of Canada and Mexico’s Involvement

The BRICS bloc—originally composed of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—has been rapidly expanding. In August 2023, the alliance extended invitations to several countries, five of which officially joined in 2024. This growth has sparked speculation about whether Western-aligned nations, including Canada and Mexico, could eventually pivot toward BRICS, potentially accelerating dedollarization efforts worldwide.

Mexico’s Stance on Joining BRICS

Speculation surrounding Mexico’s potential entry into BRICS intensified in mid-2023, ahead of the bloc’s August summit. However, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador publicly refuted such claims, affirming that Mexico would not seek membership in the alliance. The decision aligned with Mexico’s longstanding trade, economic, and geopolitical ties with the United States under frameworks such as USMCA.

Canada’s Position Regarding BRICS

In contrast to Mexico, Canada has made no official statements regarding BRICS membership. To date, there have been no public discussions, diplomatic engagements, or policy shifts that indicate Canadian interest in aligning with the BRICS bloc. Canada remains a core member of Western institutions such as the G7, NATO, and the OECD, further reinforcing its alignment with the existing US-led financial order.

Will Canada and Mexico Join BRICS?

Based on current geopolitical alignments, it appears highly unlikely that either Canada or Mexico would pursue BRICS membership in the near term—particularly with the explicit goal of weakening or replacing the US Dollar. While 2023 saw increasing concerns over the dollar’s global dominance, including inflationary pressures and internal US political division, both Canada and Mexico remain deeply integrated into the US-centric financial and security architecture.

BRICS’ Aspirations and Western Countries’ Responses

BRICS continues to push for greater economic sovereignty and a shift away from dollar dependency, aiming to promote settlement in local currencies and eventually introduce a shared digital or commodities-backed currency. These efforts have been well-received in parts of the Global South and among energy-exporting nations seeking alternatives to SWIFT and IMF dollarization structures.

Yet, the idea that NATO-aligned nations such as Canada and Mexico would join this movement remains speculative at best. Their participation in the US-led global order, access to Western capital markets, and dependence on the North American economic ecosystem make BRICS membership both politically improbable and economically costly.

Conclusion: Realignment or Rhetoric?

Despite BRICS’ expansion and continued calls for monetary multipolarity, neither Canada nor Mexico are expected to deviate from their current trajectories. While the US Dollar faces challenges, its foundational role in global trade, reserves, and institutional finance still ensures that Western partners remain tethered—for now.

As BRICS gains more influence in the Global South, 2024 will be a year to watch—but expectations of Western defection to the bloc remain premature.

BRICS to Discuss Joint Response to Trump’s Tariffs

• Lula calls out Trump’s “unilateralism” and threat to multilateral trade

• BRICS members may coordinate action in response to rising tariffs

• Brazil, India, and China seek a unified strategy to limit U.S. economic pressure

Lula Urges BRICS Coordination Amid Rising U.S. Tariffs

The BRICS bloc—comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—is preparing to discuss a coordinated response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s escalating tariff threats. The initiative comes directly from Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who criticized Trump’s approach to international trade as a deliberate attempt to undermine multilateral institutions.

“What President Trump is doing is tacit — he wants to dismantle multilateralism, where agreements are made collectively within institutions, and replace it with unilateralism, where he negotiates one-on-one with other countries,” Lula told Reuters.

President Lula stated that he would initiate conversations with fellow BRICS leaders, beginning with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday, followed by China’s President Xi Jinping and others. His goal: to understand how each nation is affected by the U.S. measures and to formulate a joint response.

“I’m going to try to discuss with them about how each one is doing in this situation, what the implications are for each country, so we can make a decision.”

Where BRICS Tariffs Currently Stand

• U.S.–Brazil Tariffs: Currently at 50%

• India Tariffs: Increased today by 25%, now totaling 50%

• China–U.S. Tariffs: Paused for now

• Russia Tariffs: Above 30%

• Canada Tariffs: Recently raised to 35%

• EU Goods: Settled at a new 15% tariff

Trump has recently labeled the BRICS alliance as “anti-American”, issuing public threats to impose an additional 10% blanket tariff on bloc members. Some individual BRICS nations, notably India and China, have explored bilateral deals with the U.S. to mitigate tariff effects. However, growing pressure may force a unified BRICS front to resist escalating U.S. protectionism.

Brazil’s Leadership Role in BRICS Response

President Lula emphasized that Brazil currently holds the BRICS presidency, granting it a leading role in shaping the bloc’s diplomatic and economic posture. In his interview, he expressed concern not just over tariffs, but over Trump’s broader agenda to dismantle multilateral norms:

“I want to discuss with our allies why Trump is attacking multilateralism and what his goals may be.”

Notably, Lula did not reference any intention to engage Trump directly as part of this initiative, suggesting that the response will remain within the BRICS framework for now.

The Bigger Picture: Trump’s Tariff Offensive

In recent days, President Trump has accelerated a wave of protectionist trade measures as part of his self-imposed tariff deadline. These include:

• 35% tariffs on Canadian imports

• 50% tariffs on Brazilian goods

• 15% settled tariffs on EU exports

All of this appears to be part of a broader realignment of U.S. trade policy aimed at strengthening leverage ahead of key diplomatic deadlines.

Conclusion: BRICS Eyes a Coordinated Strategy

The growing web of tariffs has created significant uncertainty for global markets and placed BRICS nations on alert. As Lula takes steps to convene the bloc’s leadership, the prospect of a cohesive BRICS economic strategy—and possibly retaliatory action—marks a pivotal moment in the evolving U.S.–BRICS relationship.

Thursday “Tidbits From TNT” 8-7-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Central Bank Governor: We are working to consolidate the electronic payment infrastructure through five strategic projects.

The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Al-Alaq, announced today, Thursday, the development of rules and guidelines supporting the electronic payment system, revealing five major national projects aimed at consolidating the infrastructure for this system, as part of the move towards comprehensive digital transformation.

Al-Alaq said, during the "Comprehensive Transformation of Electronic Payment" conference, that "digitalization is no longer a luxury option, but rather a strategic necessity for building a modern state and a diversified economy, and achieving transparency in service provision."

He stressed that "Iraq has a historic opportunity to make up for lost time and launch a new vision to combat corruption and stimulate investment."

He explained that the Central Bank is working to develop an integrated and secure payment system that meets the highest international standards and enhances the efficiency of financial transactions, in cooperation with the government and within national initiatives that include salary localization, electronic immunization, and development financing programs.

Al-Alaq explained that the five main projects are:

The Instant Payments System: enables money transfers around the clock and provides a smooth and secure user experience.

The Unified Government Payments Portal: contributes to facilitating payment procedures and enhancing transparency.

The National Card Scheme: establishes an independent national system that preserves digital sovereignty and serves the local market.

Developing the National Operations Department: Enhances the ability to efficiently manage the increasing volume of transactions.

Regional and international partnerships: Aim to leverage the advanced tools of global payment networks.   link

Tishwash:  Iraq's Bank Restructuring Project: Commit, Merge, or Liquidate!

The Iraqi banking sector is witnessing an unprecedented transformation with the launch of a comprehensive reform project led by the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI), in collaboration with the global firm Oliver Wyman.

 The project aims to restructure the banking system and raise its efficiency in line with international best practices. The plan, which extends until 2028, seeks to reorganize the status of private banks and determine their future within the market through clear and well-defined paths.

Economic expert Abdul Rahman Al-Shaikhly said, "The Iraqi banking system is currently witnessing a broad reform movement aimed at restructuring and organizing it in accordance with international best practices, under the direct supervision and strict oversight of the CBI."

Al-Shaikhly explained in a statement to Al-Mada that "the CBI is adopting a comprehensive reform roadmap extending until early 2028. It is being implemented in semi-annual phases, in cooperation with the global financial consulting firm Oliver Wyman, which has been contracted to undertake the reform and restructuring task."

According to the approved plan, the private banking sector, both commercial and Islamic, is given three basic options to determine its future path within the Iraqi financial system. These are: continuing to operate within the banking system, provided it fully complies with the required regulatory and technical standards; merging with another existing bank; or forming a new banking entity through a union between two or more institutions.

 In addition, the Central Bank imposes non-refundable fees on banks that choose either the continuation or merger options, in exchange for monitoring and implementing reform requirements. The continuation option fee is estimated at $2.4 million annually, while the merger option fee is $1.2 million. Banks that decide to voluntarily withdraw and liquidate are fully exempt from paying any fees.

The new reform project comes amid growing local and international calls to restructure the banking system in Iraq, which has for decades suffered from chronic problems related to weak governance, low financial inclusion rates, and the majority of citizens' reliance on cash transactions outside the formal banking framework.

Iraq has more than 70 banks, including government, private, and Islamic banks. However, a large number of them lack the foundations of modern banking operations and face difficulties in adhering to international standards, particularly those related to combating money laundering and terrorist financing.

This has exposed the country to pressure from international regulatory bodies, such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and the International Monetary Fund. The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has launched several initiatives in recent years to stimulate the banking sector, but these have not achieved the desired impact. This prompted it to adopt a comprehensive reform plan in cooperation with the global firm Oliver Wyman, which has experience in reforming banking systems in numerous countries, including Jordan, Egypt, and Greece.

This step is viewed as a serious attempt to break with traditional banking practices that are no longer viable, especially in light of the economic and financial challenges facing the country and the increasing pressure to provide a transparent and efficient financial environment capable of attracting investment and enhancing monetary stability.

In light of these challenges, the Central Bank seeks, through the new project, to redraw the map of the banking sector by granting private banks specific options to continue operating, merge, or voluntarily exit the market. This step aims to liquidate weak entities and strengthen those capable of adhering to the required technical and regulatory standards.  link

Tishwash:  Digital Transformation in Iraq: Confident Steps Towards E-Governance and Combating Corruption

As Iraq began its serious steps toward e-governance, it emerged as a strong competitor in various fields, including tracking dinar movements and combating corruption. These steps reflect a clear government will to bring about a digital transformation that strengthens the economy and serves citizens.

Tasnim International News Agency - As Iraq has taken steps toward e-governance, it has become a strong competitor in several areas, including tracking the movement of the Iraqi dinar and combating corruption.

inancial and economic expert Dr. Safwan Qusay told Tasnim: It is clear that Al-Sudani's government has moved towards investing in technology to track the movement of the Iraqi dinar and transactions. A platform has been launched, the "Our Platform," which works to ensure that all government units provide their services through an integrated system of the internet and intranet.

This allows us to provide these services without any friction between citizens and employees using technology. This contributes to improving performance and, consequently, the possibility of establishing responsibility centers, whether internally or at the level of units in the private sector. This will contribute to accelerating the globalization of the Iraqi economy, especially as we face a set of challenges in transferring the Iraqi economy to the international environment.

Dr. Mohammed Al-Khazai, Director of the Union Center for Media Training, told Tasnim: The Iraqi government has made relative progress in some aspects of e-government, such as digital tax collection, such as the e-passport, and facilitating citizen transactions. However, it remains below the desired level due to the lack of an integrated infrastructure and the multiplicity of implementing agencies. This has hindered the comprehensive transformation of the digital project, not to mention the large amount of red tape and bureaucracy in paper transactions that continue to burden citizens.

Citizens interviewed by Tasnim News Agency in Baghdad expressed their hope that the culture of electronic payment would spread, contributing to the government's efforts to strengthen the Iraqi economy. They also expressed their support for any progress the government makes in serving citizens. Some said that electronic transactions have achieved a qualitative leap forward, contributing to the reduction of bribery.

The government, through the Ministry of Planning, indicated that these steps toward digitization, e-governance, and e-payment, which have become widespread in Iraq, mark the beginning of an era in which Iraq will compete with countries in the region, and even the world.

Abdul Zahra Al-Hindawi, the official spokesperson for the Ministry of Planning, told Tasnim: “The Iraqi government has a comprehensive approach to digital transformation within its development plans. This issue has been a significant component of the targets of the five-year development plan 2024-2028, as well as within Iraq’s Vision for Sustainable Development 2030. This is in addition to the focus of the current government’s program and the important measures taken by the state’s various institutions, sectors, and activities in this area.”

Thus, Iraq is advancing in the global rankings of countries operating in the field of electronic systems and electronic payments, in steps that have strengthened the government's capabilities and benefited citizens.  link

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Thursday Morning 8-7-25

Good morning Dinar Recaps,

U.S. Government Announces ChatGPT Integration Across Federal Agencies

White House-backed initiative positions OpenAI’s ChatGPT as a central tool in America’s bid for AI leadership

The U.S. federal government has officially signed a new agreement with OpenAI to bring an enterprise-level version of ChatGPT into use across all government agencies—marking a major milestone in the nation's AI integration strategy.

The move is part of a broader plan by the Trump administration to make the United States the global capital of artificial intelligence, in line with the White House’s newly released AI Action Plan.

ChatGPT Access for Every Agency—at $1 Each

According to a statement from the General Services Administration (GSA) on Wednesday, the agreement provides every federal agency access to the ChatGPT platform at a nominal rate of $1 per agency. This is intended to fast-track the integration of AI into day-to-day operations, workflows, and decision-making processes across the U.S. government.

The GSA, which oversees federal procurement, emphasized that the agreement:

• Directly supports the White House’s AI Action Plan

• Aims to “modernize federal operations” through artificial intelligence

• Is a strategic public-private partnership aligned with U.S. national interests

The White House’s Three-Pillar AI Strategy

The administration’s AI Action Plan revolves around:

• Developing U.S. AI leadership across both civilian and defense sectors

• Scaling access to AI tools through public-private collaborations

• Building trust and safeguards into AI governance and cybersecurity

The OpenAI deal, government officials say, is a step toward ensuring the United States remains competitive against global powers in AI development and application.

Critics Warn of Dangers: Privacy, Censorship, and Surveillance

Despite the enthusiasm, civil liberties advocates, technologists, and cybersecurity experts are raising red flags. Key concerns include:

• Privacy violations stemming from centralized data collection

• Government censorship via AI-nudged narrative shaping

• Cybersecurity risks involving sensitive federal and military data

• Erosion of civil liberties under automated governance systems

Military Already Expressed Caution with Generative AI

In 2023, the U.S. Space Force temporarily halted the use of generative AI platforms—including ChatGPT—due to national security concerns over data sensitivity.

“AI platforms must overhaul data protection standards before they can be adopted for military use,”
— Lisa Costa, Deputy Chief of Space Operations for Technology and Innovation, U.S. Space Force

Public Backlash Is Not Limited to the U.S.

The ethical and legal ramifications of AI-assisted governance are drawing scrutiny abroad as well. In Sweden, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson admitted to consulting AI for policy advice—sparking controversy over AI influence on democratic decision-making.

A spokesperson clarified that the AI was not used to handle classified or national security-related matters. Still, the public response reflected growing unease over AI encroachment into public governance.

Data Use and Legal Exposure Remain Unclear

AI systems like ChatGPT ingest vast amounts of user data, including content from conversations, to refine their models. These interactions, when stored on centralized servers, create potential liabilities for users.

“ChatGPT conversations could be used as legal evidence against users,”
— Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI

Altman emphasized that AI chats lack privacy protections, are not privileged, and are subject to lawful search and seizure.

Bottom Line: Innovation Meets Uncertainty

While the OpenAI–GSA deal marks a watershed moment in U.S. AI strategy, it also exposes unresolved issues around:

• User privacy rights

• Data ownership and legal protection

• Government accountability in AI deployment

As the United States pushes forward to establish itself as the AI capital of the world, the race to modernize may collide with longstanding democratic principles—forcing lawmakers, developers, and citizens alike to confront a new era of algorithmic governance.

ICBA to OCC: Reject Ripple’s Bank Application Over Stablecoin and Compliance Issues

The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) has formally petitioned the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to reject Ripple’s application for a national trust bank charter, citing major concerns around RLUSD, Ripple’s proposed U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin.

The ICBA, which represents thousands of small banks across the U.S., argues that the integration of RLUSD into the banking system could siphon deposits from community banks, disrupt financial stability, and weaken regulatory standards.

Key Objections:

• Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin mimics traditional bank deposits, enabling transfers, purchases, and dollar redemptions—without adhering to the full regulatory requirements that apply to full-service banks.

• Trust banks were designed to fulfill custodial and fiduciary roles, not operate as quasi-commercial banks using stablecoins.

• Ripple’s regulatory history, including violations of BSA/AML/CFT obligations and ongoing legal conflict with the SEC, makes it a risky candidate for a federal charter.

• The OCC’s recent adjustments to trust bank eligibility requirements lack statutory support and could set a dangerous precedent if crypto firms like Ripple are allowed to bypass traditional compliance standards.

ICBA’s Core Arguments:

“The OCC should not allow stablecoin issuers to use the national trust bank charter to benefit from full-service bank-powers without full-service bank-requirements.”

The ICBA underscores that RLUSD, while functionally similar to traditional deposits, falls outside the regulatory umbrella that typically governs insured depository institutions. The group argues this creates a regulatory arbitrage loophole that could:

• Destabilize smaller banks

• Reduce consumer protections

• Undermine trust in the banking sector

Ripple’s Compliance History Under Fire

The ICBA letter highlights Ripple Labs’ past failures to implement Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CFT) controls. Specific incidents include:

• Regulatory actions taken against XRP II, Ripple’s subsidiary

• The SEC lawsuit, which alleges deliberate and reckless securities law violations

• A pattern of non-compliance that reflects an unwillingness to operate within established legal boundaries

“Ripple also has difficulty complying with securities laws and regulations,” the letter stated, concluding that such conduct should disqualify Ripple from accessing a national trust bank charter.

Call for Stricter Oversight of Crypto-Financial Entities

The ICBA contends that the OCC’s loosening of national trust bank requirements has eroded a critical layer of regulatory protection. It demands:

• Stronger consumer protections

• Stricter eligibility criteria

• Expanded risk oversight

• Targeted enforcement against crypto-focused applicants

The group warns that failure to apply these safeguards could lead to unchecked financial engineering, jeopardizing deposit security, market stability, and public confidence in the financial system.

“Any company that pushes the boundaries of securities law, like Ripple Labs, should not be permitted to use the national trust bank charter,” the letter emphasized.

Conclusion

The ICBA’s public opposition to Ripple’s banking ambitions brings to light the growing tensions between traditional financial institutions and crypto-native firms. As regulatory agencies like the OCC navigate the future of fintech and digital assets, the decision on Ripple’s charter application will serve as a high-stakes precedent for the banking and crypto sectors alike.

Are $600 Tariff Rebate Checks Coming? Here’s What You Need To Know

Are $600 Tariff Rebate Checks Coming? Here’s What You Need To Know

T. Woods  Wed, August 6, 2025  GOBankingRates

In March of 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law by President Donald Trump. CARES was an economic stimulus package that included one-time cash payments of $1,200 to most Americans to help offset the unprecedented financial impact of the COVID-19 virus. Just over five years later, Trump is once again considering issuing a government check to most Americans, this time in the form of a rebate paid with revenue from his trade tariffs.

Per CNBC, President Trump recently told to reporters that there was a good amount of incoming money from tariffs it could potentially result in rebates — here’s what we know.

Is There a Plan in Action?

In response to this, Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) has introduced a bill that would issue these tariff rebate checks to Americans in a similar cash disbursement to the CARES payments of 2020, according to his official page. The bill, called the “American Worker Rebate Act of 2025,” would see $600 at minimum sent to American adults and dependent children (or $2,400 for a family of four). That “at minimum” is worth noting, as well — there is a provision in the bill for the payments to be higher than $600 per person if tariff revenue is ultimately higher than expected.

Also worth noting is the fact that the Treasury Department did indeed release a report showing an unexpected surplus in June, one that was helped by tariff revenues of approximately $27 billion — a 301% increase in custom duties from June 2024.

What Are the Potential Implications?

Ray Dalio Warns US Dollar Devaluation May Trigger Gold Standard Comeback

Ray Dalio Warns US Dollar Devaluation May Trigger Gold Standard Comeback: 'History Shows Us That…'

August 6, 2025

Billionaire investor Ray Dalio has raised concerns about the long-term stability of the U.S. dollar, pointing to historical cycles that could lead the country back to a gold-backed currency.

Ray Dalio Highlights Historic Pattern Of Currency Collapse And Recovery

On Tuesday, Dalio posted a video clip on X featuring his conversation with Carlyle Group co-founder and co-chairman  David Rubenstein, where he discussed a recurring pattern in the evolution of global monetary systems.

"The U.S. dollar used to be backed by gold — and it's not farfetched to think we may be headed there again in the future," Dalio wrote. "History shows us that the same cycles repeat time and time again."

In the video, Rubenstein asked Dalio whether the U.S. would ever return to the gold standard.

Dalio responded: "Presumably that’s right, but not if you watch these cycles that because you have the devaluation, then people feel don’t have confidence in the fiat system."

US Debt, Inflation, And Loss Of Trust Could Pave Way For Gold-Backed Currency

Dalio explained that during periods of high debt, governments tend to print more money, pay off debt with cheaper currency, and eventually see trust erode.

"Nobody wants to hold the devalued currency," he said. "So then they go back and link it again.”

The U.S. dollar used to be backed by gold — and it’s not farfetched to think we may be headed there again in the future. History shows us that the same cycles repeat time and time again. One such cycle is related to currency devaluation.

Falling Dollar Signals Deeper Trouble For US Debt Holders

In May, Dalio cautioned that printing money to manage growing government debt could silently erode the value of the U.S. dollar, leading to inflation that harms bondholders. Instead of defaulting, the government may repay debt with devalued dollars, causing real losses for investors.

At the time, supporting his concern, Schwab strategist Kathy Jones highlighted a 7.62% drop in the U.S. Dollar Spot Index this year, linking it to policies like tariffs, re-shoring, and widening deficits.

She warned that these factors point to a weakening dollar and an unsustainable fiscal trajectory—validating Dalio's argument that credit risks are far greater than what rating agencies suggest.

Trump's Tariffs And Fiscal Plans Could Fuel Inflation, Warns Wealth CEO

In June, Ross Gerber criticized Donald Trump's economic approach, arguing that tariffs and aggressive fiscal expansion are directly contributing to inflation.

He specifically called out the GOP's "One Big, Beautiful Bill," which includes deep tax cuts and increased government spending on defense, infrastructure, and manufacturing—policies he says will widen the fiscal deficit and drive up national debt.

Gerber warned that such deficit spending could pressure the Federal Reserve to buy government bonds, effectively "printing money," and risking even higher inflation. He stressed that if Trump wants lower interest rates, he should pursue policies that reduce—not increase—inflationary pressure.

*************

Ray Dalio on X

The U.S. dollar used to be backed by gold — and it’s not farfetched to think we may be headed there again in the future.

 History shows us that the same cycles repeat time and time again. One such cycle is related to currency devaluation.

Once people start to lose trust in the fiat system, we see a specific cause and effect reaction occur.

 1) Governments print a lot of money

2) They pay off the debt with the cheap money

3) Nobody wants to hold the devalued currency

4) Governments go back and link money to gold

 Will this same pattern happen again? It’s hard to say, and it wouldn’t happen anytime soon. But it is conceivable.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

“The Time Is Now”: U.S. Reclaims Leadership Role in Global Crypto Race

White House crypto report, SEC’s Project Crypto, and the GENIUS/CLARITY Acts set stage for regulatory realignment

A new era may be unfolding for U.S. crypto policy as top federal regulators and lawmakers move in concert to reposition the United States as the global leader in digital asset innovation and governance.

The shift was catalyzed by a sweeping White House digital asset strategy report, released last week, calling for interagency alignment and regulatory modernization. Now, with both the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) advancing targeted crypto initiatives, and with bipartisan legislation gaining momentum, the U.S. crypto sector appears headed for a long-awaited regulatory breakthrough.

CCI: U.S. Reclaiming the Lead

Ji Hun Kim, newly appointed CEO of the Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI), hailed the White House’s report as a “pivotal” moment in restoring America’s strategic position in the global digital economy.

“The time is now for the U.S. to lead,” Kim told Cointelegraph. “We’ve had legal precedent — Bitcoin, Ether and many other digital assets are much more akin to commodities. The CFTC will have an important role to play in their oversight.”

The report appears to mark the end of a long-running jurisdictional battle between the SEC and CFTC, affirming that digital commodities (like Bitcoin and Ether) fall under CFTC oversight, while the SEC will focus on tokenized securities.

This new division of labor is precisely what the CLARITY Act codifies — a bill that passed the House and awaits Senate deliberation.

From Turf War to Regulatory Unity

The SEC responded with the launch of Project Crypto, a reform initiative to provide streamlined, unified licensing for brokerages operating across asset classes. It aims to establish clear guardrails for token issuance, custody, and investor protection — without reflexively labeling crypto assets as securities to stifle innovation.

“It should not be a scarlet letter to be deemed a security,” said SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins. “Investors will benefit from access to features like distributions and voting rights.”

Simultaneously, CFTC Acting Chair Caroline Pham announced a “crypto sprint” to rapidly implement the White House’s recommendations for digital commodity oversight — from spot market regulation to tokenized commodity frameworks.

“You’ll see increased collaboration between the two agencies,” said Kim. “That’s a theme many people overlook. It was included in the President’s executive order from January.”

GENIUS Act: Stablecoin Strategy as Dollar Diplomacy

The U.S. isn’t just aiming for regulatory clarity — it’s responding to global stablecoin competition. As China deploys its digital yuan through satellite jurisdictions like Hong Kong, and the EU implements MiCA rules, the U.S. is pushing forward with the GENIUS Act, designed to tokenize the U.S. dollar through private stablecoins.

“GENIUS provides a market-driven path forward,” Kim explained. “It allows for privacy, innovation, and growth without relying on a government-issued CBDC.”

This is a clear rejection of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), which former President Trump formally banned in a January executive order, citing surveillance risks. Instead, the U.S. approach emphasizes competitive, dollar-backed stablecoins — an area where firms like Circle, Ripple, and Paxos are already heavily active.

Other Jurisdictions Losing Ground

As global crypto hubs tighten regulations, the U.S. may reclaim its appeal:

• Dubai’s regulator issued compliance ultimatums.

• Singapore ejected firms exploiting gray areas.

• Hong Kong imposed strict new licensing for stablecoin issuers — which analysts believe is part of China’s digital yuan export strategy.

While these regimes offer clarity, they’re proving less crypto-friendly in practice — creating an opening for U.S. capital markets to become the preferred destination for compliant digital asset firms.

Regulatory Clarity ≠ Deregulation

Critics, including Senator Elizabeth Warren and over 80 civil rights groups, claim the CLARITY Act amounts to crypto deregulation. But Kim pushed back:

“This is not deregulation. It’s structured engagement. It’s about creating rules tailored to digital assets, fighting illicit finance, and giving the industry a framework to operate within — not outside — the law.”

Outlook: From Crypto Backwater to Global Standard-Setter

After years of regulatory paralysis, the U.S. crypto regulatory ecosystem is now showing signs of strategic coherence:

• The White House report sets the policy tone.

• The SEC’s Project Crypto establishes enforcement boundaries and licensing paths.

• The CFTC sprint reclaims digital commodity jurisdiction.

• The GENIUS and CLARITY Acts provide the legislative backbone for stablecoin and asset classification frameworks.

Taken together, these developments represent a wholesale realignment — and potentially a new Bretton Woods moment in the making, with tokenized dollars, clear governance models, and global financial influence flowing through U.S.-regulated rails.

📌 Key Acts to Watch:

• GENIUS Act: Private stablecoin standard to reinforce dollar dominance

• CLARITY Act: Defines SEC vs. CFTC jurisdiction over digital assets

🧭 What’s Next:

• Senate vote on CLARITY Act

• SEC/CFTC rulemaking under new crypto directives

• Implementation of Project Crypto & CFTC sprint

UK Greenlights Crypto ETNs for Retail Investors, Reigniting Push Toward Digital Asset Hub Status

Reversal of FCA ban signals strategic regulatory shift, but derivatives remain off-limits

In a move that signals a major policy pivot, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has lifted its ban on crypto exchange-traded notes (cETNs) for retail investors — a decision widely seen as a bid to restore the UK’s ambitions of becoming a global digital asset hub.

The change, announced on August 2, will go into effect October 8, 2025, reversing a ban originally implemented in January 2021 over concerns around volatility and investor protection.

Industry leaders say the updated stance reflects maturing markets, better product understanding, and a regulatory recalibration in favor of proportional consumer access.

FCA's Ban Reversal: A Turning Point for UK Crypto Policy

In a statement accompanying the decision, the FCA acknowledged that the crypto market has evolved considerably in recent years and noted increased sophistication among both investors and product structures. The agency emphasized that the regulatory framework remains focused on protecting consumers while supporting innovation.

Ian Taylor, board adviser at CryptoUK and COO of HT Digital, called the decision “long overdue”:

“Until now, the UK has been an outlier on ETNs. This change reflects the progress we’ve made toward introducing a more proportionate approach to consumer risk.”

CryptoUK, a key trade association, has long advocated for inclusive access to regulated crypto products, including ETNs — which allow investors to track crypto asset performance without directly holding the underlying tokens.

Industry Praises Return of Retail Autonomy

Riccardo Tordera, director of policy and government relations at The Payments Association, welcomed the FCA’s move as an essential correction to an overprotective stance that hindered the UK’s crypto ambitions.

“The intrinsic nature of crypto means it can be accessed by everyone, from everywhere,” said Tordera.
“The FCA ban on retail access to certain crypto products was hindering the UK’s chances of becoming a global crypto hub.”

According to Tordera, the updated rules empower individual investors to make decisions “at their own risk,” while also improving the UK’s global competitiveness in the race to attract crypto firms, capital, and innovation.

Skeptics Push Back With Satire

Not all reactions were celebratory. In typical fashion, WallStreetBets founder Jaime Rogozinski responded to the announcement with a jab at British priorities:

“Britain loves financial risk — just not the kind that involves, say, vegetables or an industrial policy.”

His comment — part sarcasm, part policy critique — reflects lingering skepticism about the UK’s broader economic posture, particularly in the post-Brexit era.

Crypto Derivatives Still Prohibited

Despite this breakthrough, the FCA reaffirmed that crypto derivatives remain banned for retail traders. These products — including futures, options, and perpetual contracts — are still considered too complex and high-risk for the average investor.

“The FCA’s ban on retail access to crypto asset derivatives will remain in place,” the agency confirmed.

However, it also stated that it would continue to monitor market developments and reassess its approach based on evolving risk metrics and industry feedback.

Outlook: Competitive Crypto Landscape Forces UK’s Hand

The FCA’s reversal appears to reflect not just evolving markets, but also growing international pressure. Jurisdictions such as Hong Kong, Singapore, the UAE, and parts of the EU have aggressively moved toward regulated retail access to crypto instruments, placing the UK at a strategic disadvantage.

With global finance and digital assets increasingly interlinked, this policy shift could mark the start of a broader regulatory transformation — one that attempts to strike a balance between investor protection and market dynamism.

📌 Effective Date:
Retail access to crypto ETNs resumes October 8, 2025

Still Banned:
Crypto derivatives (futures, options, perpetuals)

Ripple’s RLUSD Surpasses Zcash in Market Cap as Stablecoin Adoption Surges

GENIUS Act fuels institutional momentum behind Ripple USD, signaling a new phase in the dollar tokenization race

Ripple’s dollar-pegged stablecoin RLUSD has officially overtaken Zcash (ZEC) in market capitalization, marking a significant shift in crypto capital flows. With $602.6 million in market value and $35.8 million in daily trending volume, RLUSD now ranks 8th among stablecoins and 104th overall, just shy of the global top 100 digital assets.

More than just a market reshuffle, RLUSD’s rise reflects a wider transformation in crypto adoption as institutional capital pivots toward compliant, U.S.-backed digital dollar alternatives — particularly those aligned with the newly enacted GENIUS Act.

Zcash Slips to 106th Amid Privacy Token Pressure

Zcash, once a prominent privacy-focused cryptocurrency, has seen its market presence eroded over time, now trading at $35.20 — down over 11% in the past week and 99% below its all-time high of $5,941. The coin has failed to recover amid increasing regulatory scrutiny of anonymous transactions and dwindling investor interest.

ZEC Technical Overview:

• Trading below 200-day SMA — long-term bearish signal

• MACD histogram at –0.615 — sustained negative momentum

• Underperforming 52% of top 100 assets over the past year

• Currently capped by 30-day SMA resistance at $41.23

This downturn comes as regulators worldwide move against privacy coins, raising concerns about their role in facilitating illicit finance — and opening the door for compliant alternatives like RLUSD.

RLUSD Emerges as Strategic Stablecoin Contender

RLUSD’s rise isn’t simply opportunistic — it’s structural.

As a dollar-pegged stablecoin built within the Ripple liquidity ecosystem, RLUSD benefits from RippleNet’s global banking partnerships and the growing enterprise use of tokenized U.S. dollars. The recent passage of the GENIUS Act, which formalizes stablecoin standards and reinforces dollar-denominated reserve backing, has further boosted institutional confidence.

“RLUSD is quietly capturing market share as investors rotate into regulated, high-trust digital assets,” one analyst noted. “The GENIUS Act gives issuers like Ripple the legal clarity needed to scale.”

Current Stats:

• Market Cap: $602.6 million

• Stablecoin Rank: #8 (trailing only PayPal USD at #7)

• 24h Trending Volume: $35.8 million

• Price: Stable at $1.00

GENIUS Act: From Tokenization to Dominance

The GENIUS Act, signed into law earlier this year, is a landmark stablecoin framework designed to ensure that U.S. dollar-backed stablecoins remain the global reserve standard in a tokenized financial system.

Rather than rely on a government-issued CBDC — which former President Trump banned via executive order — the GENIUS Act empowers private-sector innovation in stablecoin issuance, provided firms meet rigorous reserve, reporting, and AML compliance requirements.

RLUSD’s institutional ascent reflects this pivot: capital is no longer fleeing the U.S. regulatory system — it’s aligning with it.

Legacy Coins Under Pressure as RLUSD Rises

With RLUSD climbing the ranks and poised to enter the top 100 global cryptocurrencies, pressure is mounting on legacy and mid-tier altcoins. Analysts suggest that Zcash’s continued decline could be the first in a wave of devaluations for tokens that lack regulatory viability or real-world integration.

Meanwhile, RLUSD is beginning to mirror XRP’s path toward deeper banking sector disruption — offering a dollar-denominated gateway into Ripple’s expanding institutional network.

“If XRP is the bridge, RLUSD is the base currency,” one market commentator observed. “Both are now part of the same liquidity engine.”

 Key Takeaways:

• RLUSD surpasses Zcash with $602.6M market cap

• GENIUS Act credited with accelerating stablecoin adoption

• Institutional capital shifting from privacy coins to regulated assets

• Ripple USD ranks #8 among stablecoins, eyeing top 100 entry

• XRP ecosystem deepens as RLUSD gains traction

Crypto Paychecks? Gen Z Leads Surge in Stablecoin Demand

New study shows 75% of Gen Z open to stablecoin salaries, highlighting a generational shift in finance adoption amid GENIUS Act momentum

A recent survey by Cryptoninjas reveals that Generation Z is leading the charge in stablecoin adoption, with nearly half transacting monthly and 75% expressing willingness to receive their salaries in stablecoins. As Washington advances legislation to formalize stablecoin infrastructure through the GENIUS Act, this generational pivot is becoming harder to ignore.

Gen Z Embraces Stablecoins as the New Financial Rails

According to the study:

• 46% of Gen Z participants use stablecoins monthly

• Only 30% of Millennials and 29% of Gen X transact monthly

• 53% of all participants have used stablecoins at least once

Younger users are gravitating toward crypto-native financial services, such as yield farming and inflation-resistant savings. Among Gen Z, yield opportunities are the top motivation, with speed, inflation hedging, and on-ramps to crypto rounding out the list.

“For 46% of Generation Z, the big draw is yield farming,” the report noted. “Speed, inflation protection, and easy access to crypto round out their list.”

Stablecoin Salaries? Gen Z Says Yes

Perhaps most revealing: 57% of all stablecoin users said they’d be open to getting paid in stablecoins. That number jumps to 75% among Gen Z, compared to:

• 53.2% of Millennials

• Only 33.3% of Gen X

This aligns with broader demographic data showing Gen Z’s high comfort with digital wallets, crypto apps, and tokenized financial instruments, including those introduced via legislation like the GENIUS Act, which creates a regulatory framework for dollar-backed stablecoins.

Adoption Barriers: Real-World Use Still Lags

Despite the enthusiasm, the top concern remains limited utility:

• 42.4% of users cite lack of real-world acceptance

• Other concerns include price volatility (12.9%), unclear regulation (11.5%), fees (9.4%), and security (6.5%)

The report concludes that usability and user experience are crucial to mass adoption — especially for older users. Most people won’t use stablecoins regularly until apps evolve beyond their “crypto-native” design and offer everyday functions like bill pay, shopping, and savings tools in a clear, accessible format.

Strategic Implications: The GENIUS Act and a Dollar-Backed Future

As stablecoin usage accelerates among digital natives, Washington’s response is taking shape. The GENIUS Act, which enshrines standards for reserve-backed, transparent, and regulated stablecoin issuance, aims to ensure that U.S.-denominated digital assets become the global standard — not an afterthought.

With younger generations driving demand, and institutional players like Ripple and PayPal rolling out compliant stablecoins, the U.S. financial system is at a tipping point — one where tokenized dollars could become the default payment medium for the next generation of workers.

Key Findings:

• Gen Z leads in stablecoin usage and salary acceptance

• 75% of Gen Z would take their paycheck in stablecoins

• Main barriers: lack of real-world utility and user-friendly apps

• Demand for yield, inflation protection, and fast payments driving usage

• Stablecoins are shifting from speculation to salary and savings

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Wed. 6 August 2025

Compiled Wed. 6 August 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Judy Note: As of August 2025 the world was (allegedly)  functioning on the new Global Financial System of gold/asset-backed currencies, where debt was(allegedly)   being erased and currencies of 209 nations were traded at a 1:1 with each other.

NESARA/GESARA debt relief will be announced to the world, which will show that EVERYTHING NEW is beginning.

Tues. 5 Aug. 2025: INTEL REPORT: THE TIER 1–5 STRUCTURE EXPOSED — THE INVISIBLE ENGINE BEHIND GCR 2025 …QFS on Telegram

Everyone’s heard of the Global Currency Reset. But almost no one understands how it’s actually structured. A classified leak just confirmed what insiders have whispered for years — the GCR operates on a covert Tier 1–5 structure. And whether you realize it or not, you’re already in it. This has nothing to do with age, income, or medical risk. This is about awareness, positioning, and strategic access in the silent war for global finance. It’s not about money. It’s about consciousness.

Tier 1 holds the crumbling core of the old world: central banks, sovereign treasuries, the IMF, BIS, and dynastic banking families. They are first in line not by merit, but because they control the valves of liquidity. Their time is ending — but their cooperation was required to drain the swamp.

Tier 2 comprises private banks, massive family trusts, religious finance networks, and philanthropic shells. Historically, they moved stolen assets and masked black operations, but now they’re being forced to act as transitional gatekeepers for lawful asset flow. Some have flipped. Others are being dismantled. Either way, they no longer call the shots.

Tier 3 is where real wealth lives. Historical bondholders, private families, and silent giants holding Qing Dynasty Dragon Bonds, German gold certificates, Philippine estate claims, and sovereign debt notes suppressed for decades. Their redemption doesn’t just inject liquidity — it deletes fraudulent fiat overlays and resets history. These are not digital traders. These are the vault keepers of a stolen planet, and their clearance signals the end of artificial scarcity. Behind them, Tier 4A handles the operations — military engineers, QFS testers, off-ledger validators, and secure intel cells coordinating redemptions with military precision. They don’t appear on camera, but without them, this operation would fail.

And then comes Tier 4B — the digital army. You. Us. Millions worldwide who woke up early, followed encrypted intel, acquired ZIM, IQD, VND, read classified drops, studied NESARA/GESARA, and understood this was never just about money. We are not investors — we are spiritual warriors. The ones who prepared in silence while the world mocked us. Tier 4B is slated for private notifications, secured redemption access, and possible leadership roles in the post-reset world. We didn’t buy our position — we earned it. Not with dollars, but with discernment, discipline, and the refusal to kneel to illusion.

Tier 5? That’s the general population. Unaware, unprepared, and still hypnotized by a dying system. And while we pray for their awakening, they will not move first. Because this reset is tiered by design — a structure not of financial class, but of frequency. The Reset doesn’t reward status. It rewards vision. Those who saw through the veil, acted in faith, and held the line now stand on the edge of a global shift. And when the signal comes, we’ll know — because we were never meant to follow the plan. We were built to activate it.

Tues. 5 Aug. 2025 NESARA + GESARA …QFS on Telegram

No Poverty, No Hunger, No Debt, Only Global Prosperity and Peace for ALL!

GESARA (Global Economic Stabilization and Recovery Act) was(allegedly)   voted to be implemented by all 209 sovereign nations of the world, per the signed 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change, starting with the restored Republic of the United States, known as NESARA (National Economic Stabilization and Recovery Act).

NESARA cancels all credit card, mortgage, and other bank debt due to illigal banking and government activities. Many refer to this as a “jubilee” or complete forgiveness of debt. Abolishes Federal Income Taxes in the U.S. (allegedly)  Creates a 17% flat rate non-essential new items only sales tax revenue for the government. In other words, food and medicine will not be taxed, nor will used items such as old homes. Abolishes the Internal Revenue Service(allegedly)   (IRS), with employees of the IRS will be transferred into the US Treasury national sales tax area.

GESARA will now affect the Republic along with the rest of the world amounting to a total of all sovereign nations. The new financial system is part of GESARA law. The IMF will (allegedly)  announce the “global gold-standard monetary system” once GESARA is announced. All remaining fiat currencies will be cashed in for gold-standard currency. Paper money will eventually be phased out and all currencies will be digital under the new financial system — with the elimination of the national debt of every nation on Earth, taxes will be adjusted to be lower for citizens and corporations.

 The new financial system has been(allegedly)   online for months and is hosted on a protected quantum server that cannot be hacked or accessed without permission.

People will live in the moment of now — growing their own food & food for others. Many people are actually going to enjoy their jobs as they experience it gives them meaning and purpose, another way to serve. Those that don’t hold jobs will find alternative ways to experience happiness and contribute to the common good.

As the time approaches for a great change in our society, it is time to transform pain and suffering from past experiences into joy, peace and prosperity! A new day is dawning that will bring in a caring and respectful epoch for humanity!

Planet Earth and humanity are experiencing The Great Shift of Consciousness, also known as Ascension or The Great Awakening into Unity Consciousness. Mother Earth is returning to be a sacred planet, and is taking the entire human population with her (whoever wants to go). It’s a Golden Age beyond our wildest imaginations.

Extreme Risk In Markets: Insider Stock Dumping & Gold Buying | Andy Schectman

Liberty and Finance:  8-5-2025

Andy Schectman, president & CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, discusses a global shift in trade and monetary systems, emphasizing the growing influence of BRICS, the Belt and Road Initiative, and alternative settlement networks that threaten the U.S. dollar's dominance.

He warns that the U.S. Treasury appears to be preparing to lower interest rates through a new Fed appointee, potentially sparking more inflation and pushing for a gold-pegged monetary policy.

Schectman raises alarms about the erosion of privacy through stablecoin regulations and centralized control, describing it as a hijacking of decentralized finance.

He highlights the record levels of margin debt and insider stock dumping, which signal extreme risk in financial markets while institutions load up on commodities.

Finally, he critiques misleading economic data and urges people to protect their wealth with physical assets like gold and silver, emphasizing that systemic fragility is accelerating.

Good morning Dinar Recaps,

BRICS Turns Crisis Into Opportunity: India Reconsiders U.S. Alliance as China Opens Trade Lifelines

With Washington escalating tariffs and pressure, India and Brazil deepen BRICS economic cooperation amid U.S. hostility

As tensions between India and the United States escalate, BRICS is quietly reshaping global trade dynamics, offering member nations economic alternatives that blunt the impact of Western tariffs. In the wake of President Donald Trump’s 25% to 50% tariff threats on Indian and Brazilian exports, member states are rapidly reassessing their foreign policy orientations — and China is stepping in to fill the void.

This realignment has become particularly visible as India faces one of the sharpest diplomatic downturns with Washington in decades, while Brazil gains new Chinese market access to counteract U.S. economic penalties.

Trump’s Tariff Ultimatum Triggers Diplomatic Rethink in India

Trump’s trade offensive against India, launched via Truth Social on August 1st, directly tied high tariffs to India's continued imports of Russian oil and its perceived unwillingness to align with Western sanctions. The President's rhetoric was scathing:

“India, Russia can take their dead economies down together, for all I care.”

In a particularly antagonistic swipe, Trump even floated an oil collaboration with Pakistan, hinting that Islamabad might one day supply India — a move many analysts read as calculated provocation.

Beyond rhetoric, Trump's criticism laid bare longstanding U.S. frustrations:

• India’s trade surplus with the U.S. now exceeds $45.7 billion

• High non-monetary trade barriers persist

• India remains the largest buyer of Russian energy and defense equipment

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio reinforced this stance in a Fox Radio interview, criticizing India’s energy partnerships:

“Unfortunately, [India buying Russian oil] is helping to sustain the Russian war effort.”

India’s Ministry of Commerce & Industry responded tersely:

“The Government will take all steps necessary to secure our national interest.”

China Offers India a Strategic Alternative Through BRICS

As U.S.-India ties fracture, China has emerged as an unexpected diplomatic backchannel for India. At the 2025 BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro, China publicly backed India’s long-standing bid for UN Security Council reform — a gesture widely interpreted as an olive branch amid historic Sino-Indian rivalry.

Even more significant are the financial and policy shifts underway:

• India has received $12 billion in financing from the AIIB and $7.5 billion from the BRICS-led New Development Bank

• Reports indicate that India’s NITI Aayog may ease Chinese investment restrictions, allowing up to 24% foreign ownership without prior security clearance — a reversal from post-Galwan policy trends

These economic incentives, coupled with China’s diplomatic tone, suggest a reshaping of India’s calculus inside the BRICS alliance.

Brazil Finds a Lifeline in Chinese Trade Corridors

Simultaneously, Brazil has emerged as a primary test case for BRICS trade cooperation, leveraging the bloc’s cohesion to circumvent Trump’s 50% tariff on Brazilian goods, particularly coffee exports.

In a direct countermeasure:

• China has approved 183 Brazilian coffee companies for duty-free exports to its domestic market

• The deal ensures Brazilian exporters can offset U.S. tariff losses by gaining unrestricted access to Chinese consumers through 2030

• Additionally, 30 sesame-exporting firms in Brazil have also secured tariff-free export licenses to China under a four-year agreement

This shift not only mitigates U.S. penalties, but strategically strengthens intra-BRICS trade routes and dependence — a quiet but profound blow to Western leverage over emerging economies.

India’s Crossroads: Transactional U.S. Ties vs. Strategic BRICS Realignment

The deepening rift with Washington has led some analysts to speculate on extreme scenarios, including whether India could be pressured out of BRICS, or conversely, whether it will double down on its role in the multipolar alliance.

According to Derek J. Grossman, national security expert:

“This is the worst phase of India-U.S. relations in 25 years. We’re watching 25 years of progress rapidly unravel.”

With BRICS now accounting for 56% of global population and 44% of world GDP, the implications are massive. India is no longer merely navigating a bilateral trade dispute — it is at a geopolitical crossroads.

Conclusion: BRICS Evolves as a Shield Against U.S. Economic Coercion

Whether through China’s open market initiatives or BRICS’ development financing model, a clear pattern is emerging: the bloc is evolving into a strategic alternative to the U.S.-led order — one that prioritizes sovereignty, infrastructure development, and tariff resilience.

For India and Brazil, BRICS is no longer a symbolic coalition — it’s becoming a lifeline in the face of global economic weaponization.

He points to a looming financial reset, with gold emerging as a safe haven amid growing investor fear.

Based on technical analysis, Vermeulen forecasts gold could surge to $4,100, following a breakout from a bullish pattern. As large-cap gold miners begin to lead, he favors physical gold and gold ETFs over volatile assets like silver or platinum.

This Money Expert Says ‘Savers Are Losers’ — Is He Right? Experts Weigh In

This Money Expert Says ‘Savers Are Losers’ — Is He Right? Experts Weigh In

Dawn Allcot  Tue, August 5, 2025  GOBankingRates

Robert Kiyosaki, finance expert and “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” author, has been known for straight talk about the economy. In a recent tweet, he said, “Savers are losers.”

He pointed out that the U.S. Federal Reserve’s way to avoid economic disaster is to print more money. He listed the 1987 market crash, the 1998 long-term capital management (LTCM) crash, the 2019 repo market seizure, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Silicon Valley Bank failure as examples.

 “It’s not a new crisis….it’s the same crisis getting bigger,” he wrote. Then, he warned, “Stop saving FAKE $. Start saving real gold, silver, Bitcoin. Protect your wealth. America is the biggest debtor nation in history… because of the FED. The Biggest Crash in history is coming….soon.”

Is Kiyosaki Right?

By most economic markers, experts said we are not heading for a recession this year. “As of now, the slight jump in inflation may be tied to tariffs, but there’s nothing in the data suggesting an imminent recession,” said Stephan Shipe, Ph.D., CFA, CFP, a finance professor at Wake Forest University and founder of Scholar Financial Advising.

Even so, inflation causes problems with saving, rather than investing. If your money in the bank is growing only at the national average of 0.38%, according to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation statistics, but inflation is 2.7%, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, you’re losing money. A better choice would be a high-yield savings account delivering returns of around 3%, but even then, you’re just barely keeping pace with inflation.

“Given the government’s massive money printing today and foreseeable future, the fiat currencies are devalued consistently through time. The U.S. dollar’s purchasing power is cut by half every 15 to 20 years,” explained CK Zheng, co-founder and chief information officer of ZX Squared Capital.

Technically, savers are losers in that they could end up losing purchasing power over time due to inflation. But even so, finance experts like Suze Orman and Dave Ramsey recommend some funds in an easily accessible, liquid savings account for small emergencies like car or home appliance repairs. “The truth of the matter is 75% of the people in the United States do not have at least $400 in savings for an emergency,” according to Orman in a recent GOBankingRates article

If you don’t have any high-interest debt, according to the Ramsey Solutions blog, you should strive to save three to six months’ worth of living expenses in an emergency savings account.

Should You Put Money Into Alternative Assets?

Genius Bill, CBDC Bill, and BBB Tells us of the QFS and NESARA: Dr. Scott Young

Dr. Scott Young: Genius Bill, CBDC Bill, and BBB Tells us of the QFS and NESARA

8-4-2025

In this detailed video presentation, Dr. Scott explores a multi-faceted plan associated with President Trump, often referred to as the “three-part plan,” alongside deeper insights into recent legislative developments impacting the U.S. financial and political landscape.

The discussion weaves together personal reflections, prophetic messages, and an in-depth analysis of significant bills such as the “Big Beautiful Bill,” the Genius Act, and HR5405, all of which relate to transformative changes in economic policy, digital currency regulation, and voting security.

Dr. Scott begins by sharing a prophecy about a shift from being overlooked to becoming a key player in a larger divine plan, resonating with his own experiences of overcoming personal challenges like dyslexia and stuttering.

He transitions into an overview of major legislative elements including large tax cuts, border security, Medicaid work requirements, SNAP reforms, and funding for rural hospitals, emphasizing both positive and controversial aspects.

A significant portion of the video is devoted to explaining the evolving landscape of digital currency, particularly the rejection of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and the introduction of the Quantum Financial System (QFS).

 Dr. Scott highlights how recent bills prevent the Federal Reserve from issuing CBDCs, promote decentralized blockchain technology, and protect privacy against financial surveillance, contrasting sharply with mainstream fears about digital currencies becoming tools for overreach and control.

He elaborates on the Genius Act’s provisions for stablecoins and digital asset regulation, which promote transparency and security while eliminating predatory banking practices like rehypothecation.

 Dr. Scott also discusses XRP and other cryptocurrencies as intermediaries in payment systems rather than replacements for sovereign money, clarifying misconceptions about their constitutional status and utility.

The video concludes with a hopeful outlook on the coming changes, emphasizing the enhanced accountability and transparency blockchain systems will bring to public and private financial transactions, thereby revolutionizing trust and governance.

Dr. Scott encourages viewers to remain patient and optimistic, as these transformative financial and political reforms are imminent and poised to bring significant benefits.

Dr. Scott’s presentation offers a comprehensive view of a transformative moment in U.S. financial and political history. Through a blend of prophetic insight, legislative analysis, and technological explanation, he reveals a complex but hopeful future where sovereignty, transparency, and fairness are prioritized.

 The defeat of CBDCs, the rise of the Quantum Financial System, and the Genius Act’s stablecoin regulations collectively signal a move toward a decentralized, accountable, and privacy-respecting financial order.

While challenges and controversies remain, the overall trajectory suggests profound change is imminent, inviting viewers to prepare mentally and spiritually for this new era.
