Rob Cunningham: All with Vision Can See the Convergence

Rob Cunningham: All with Vision Can See the Convergence

12-29-2025

Rob Cunningham | KUWL.show  @KuwlShow

All with vision see the convergence of:

Honest measurement

Tokenization of real-world assets

Auditable reserves

Collateral transparency

Digital ledgering

Immutable record-keeping

Tamper resistance

Verifiable ownership

Atomic settlement

Instant finality

No counterparty risk

No rehypothecation games

This is not “quantum finance” in the sci-fi sense.
It is mathematically enforced truth.

This aligns perfectly with Divine Law:

Truth must be knowable

Ownership must be provable

Exchange must be consensual

The real “end of the moneychangers”

The system being squeezed is not banks per se – it is:

Opacity

Asymmetry

Non-consensual intermediation

Rent extraction without value creation

Jesus didn’t overturn tables because money existed.
He overturned them because gatekeepers inserted themselves between two willing parties.

“You have made it a den of thieves.”

Modern technology now allows:

Two-party settlement

Without custodial risk

Without timing arbitrage

Without privileged insiders

That is the true obliteration underway.

What’s actually emerging is:

Not a secret cabal.
Not a single global currency.
Not a sudden overnight reset.

But rather:

Multipolar trade settlement

Asset-backed credibility returning

Digital rails enforcing honesty

Reduced reliance on 3rd-party trust

Sovereign choice replacing coercion

In other words:

Truth is being embedded into the system architecture itself.

Final synthesis

What we are witnessing is the slow but irreversible alignment of:

Truth (law)

Measurement (math)

Consent (free will)

Settlement (finality)

When systems can no longer lie, liars lose their leverage.

That – not spectacle – is the real signal to the world. We can align with it, fear it, or ignore its’ inevitability.

Truth sets us free from slavery.

Life is a series of free-will choices.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Key Watched Nations: Who Is Ready for the Global Financial Reset

Infrastructure, assets, and timing determine who moves first

Overview

• The global reset will not occur uniformly across all countries

• Readiness depends on infrastructure, reserves, governance, and political timing

• Some nations are technically ready but politically constrained

• Others are asset-rich but policy-limited

• Quiet preparation often signals higher readiness than public declarations

Why This Series Matters

Most observers focus on headlines. Institutions focus on plumbing.
This series tracks countries where financial architecture is already aligned — even if public action has not yet occurred.

🇻🇳 Vietnam — Quietly Ready, Strategically Patient

• Deeply embedded in global manufacturing supply chains

• Conservative monetary policy and disciplined reserve management

• Rapid growth in digital and cashless payment rails

• Strategy favors smooth transition over disruptive reform

Status: Technically ready, deliberately quiet

🇮🇶 Iraq — Technically Ready, Politically Timed

• Core banking and payment systems upgraded and compliant

• Strong oil revenues support reserves and balance-of-payments strength

• Settlement and reporting infrastructure largely complete

• Political coordination remains the gating factor

Status: Infrastructure complete, execution paced

🇻🇪 Venezuela — Asset-Rich, Policy-Constrained

• One of the world’s largest oil reserves

• Significant gold holdings despite economic turmoil

• Currency credibility damaged by years of mismanagement

• Any reset participation depends on policy overhaul and governance reform

Status: Assets present, credibility rebuilding required

🇮🇷 Iran — Sanctioned but Structurally Aligned

• Energy-rich with strong domestic production capacity

• Alternative trade and settlement channels already in use

• Reduced dependence on Western banking systems

• Sanctions limit integration, not internal readiness

Status: Operationally adaptive, externally restricted

🇷🇺 Russia — De-Dollarized, Resource-Anchored

• Large gold reserves and commodity backing

• Settlement systems increasingly routed outside dollar rails

• Accelerated adoption of alternative payment mechanisms

• Strategic focus on sovereignty over integration

Status: Actively transitioned, geopolitically isolated

🇨🇳 China — System Builder, Not First Mover

• Advanced digital currency infrastructure

• Large gold reserves and trade dominance

• Prefers control, testing, and phased rollout

• Avoids triggering instability through sudden shifts

Status: Technically advanced, strategically restrained

🇧🇷 Brazil — Aligned, Cooperative, and Adaptive

• Strong participation in BRICS initiatives

• Commodity-backed economic strength

• Improving digital payment and settlement systems

• Favors multilateral coordination

Status: Ready through alignment, not leadership

🇺🇸 United States — Structurally Ready, Strategically Constrained

• Most advanced financial infrastructure globally

• Deep debt limits monetary flexibility

• Must manage transition without triggering loss of confidence

• Focused on control of timing rather than speed

Status: Ready but constrained by reserve-currency role

🇪🇺 European Union — Technically Advanced, Politically Fragmented

• Modern payment rails and regulatory frameworks

• Uneven debt and growth across member states

• Consensus governance slows decisive action

• Likely to follow coordinated global moves

Status: Operationally ready, institutionally slow

Why It Matters

The reset will favor countries that:

• Built infrastructure quietly

• Anchored value with assets

• Modernized settlement rails

• Managed timing carefully

Countries that confuse noise with readiness risk volatility.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Readiness Is Uneven
  The reset unfolds in stages, not a single moment.

• Pillar: Infrastructure Beats Rhetoric
  Payment rails, reserves, and settlement systems determine who moves first.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Silver’s Record Break and Sharp Reversal: What Volatility Means for Reset Assets

Structural demand, speculative spikes, and market mechanics collide in historic silver moves

Overview

• Silver prices hit all-time highs above $80 per ounce late in December 2025 before sharply retracing

• The rally was quickly followed by a steep pullback as profit-taking, margin requirement increases, and rapid repositioning hit markets.

• This pattern reflects deeper forces in silver — supply constraints, industrial demand, speculative leverage, and macro positioning, not just transient safe-haven flows.

• The swing in prices highlights how precious metals behave at the intersection of monetary stress and real demand needs — a key signal in the global reset landscape.

Key Developments

Parabolic Rally to Record Levels

• Silver climbed dramatically in 2025, driven by a blend of geopolitical uncertainty, expectations of U.S. interest rate cuts, tight physical supply, and industrial demand.

• Spot prices reached all-time highs near $80 per ounce (and intraday peaks reported above $83), far exceeding historical norms

• Tight inventories, export restrictions, and foundational supply deficits contributed to the surge. 

Sudden Pullback and Volatility

• After the record surge, profit-taking and risk reduction triggered a sharp decline in prices.

• Exchanges responded by raising margin requirements, putting pressure on leveraged positions and amplifying the selloff.

• Sharp intraday falls — including double-digit percentage retreats — underscored the fragile balance between speculative positioning and real demand pressures.

Underlying Forces Driving the Move

• Structural supply deficits and declining inventories created real scarcity pressures beyond typical safe-haven behaviors.

• Industrial demand — especially for technology, solar, EVs, and data centers — added a parallel consumption narrative.

• Macro drivers, including weakening currencies and rate expectations, enhanced precious metals appeal.

Why It Matters

Silver’s late-year ascent and dramatic reversal underscore how volatile hybrid assets — those with both industrial demand and monetary characteristics — behave under pressure.

Drivers of the Rally

• Structural supply deficits: global demand, particularly for industrial uses like solar, AI, and electrification, remains tight and outpaces mining increases. 

• Safe-haven rotation: geopolitical uncertainty, anticipated interest rate cuts, and concerns about currency debasement pushed investors toward hard assets. 

• Speculative momentum: record prices attracted a wave of leveraged and retail traders, inflating a self-fulfilling surge in futures markets. 

Mechanics of the Fall

• Margin hikes by exchanges quickly escalated holding costs, forcing leveraged longs to reduce exposure. 

• Profit-taking at extreme levels occurred as technical conditions became overbought, exacerbating sell-offs. 

• Paper markets reacted faster than physical demand, illustrating how liquidity stress can overwhelm fundamental price drivers. 

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders, silver’s volatility is more than a commodity story — it is a signal of shifting risk perception and repricing dynamics within asset markets.

• Volatility reveals liquidity fragility: When leveraged players dominate, market repricing can occur swiftly and deeply, influencing expectations for other monetary and near-money assets.

• Safe-haven rotation intersects with macro stress: Silver’s rally correlates with expectations of lower real yields and currency debasement — themes also central to currency repricing risk.

• Industrial demand embeds fundamentals: Unlike gold, silver’s pricing captures both value storage and real economic utility, making it a more sensitive early indicator of systemic stress.

Silver’s run and subsequent correction suggest that markets are actively testing the boundaries between store-of-value demand and industrial scarcity, a dynamic that will increasingly shape how currencies and alternative assets are valued in reset scenarios.

Implications for the Global Reset  

Pillar: Dual-Role Assets Lead Signals
Assets that combine monetary and industrial demand — like silver — can signal stress earlier than pure stores of value, highlighting where liquidity and leverage intersect with real demand.

Pillar: Market Mechanics Matter More Than Narratives
Margin costs, exchange interventions, and liquidity conditions can drive faster price adjustments than long-term structural narratives alone.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Tishwash:  Sudani: Our relationship with countries in the region and the world is based on economic partnerships.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani affirmed that Iraq’s relations with the countries of the region and the world are based on economic partnerships.

He added that Iraq's relations with countries in the region and the world are based on economic partnerships, given Iraq's geostrategic location and its vast natural and human resources. He emphasized the importance of the relationship with the United States within the economic framework, given its companies and technology, from which Iraq can benefit from its experience.

He explained that Iraq and Syria have great opportunities to improve the economic situation, including the Kirkuk-Banias oil export pipeline.  link

Tishwash:  The Sudanese government directs the release of a new batch of payments owed to contractors.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani directed on Sunday the release of a new batch of payments for completed work as part of a series of payments to Iraqi contractors.

The office of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said in a statement received by Al-Ghad Press that he chaired a meeting on Sunday regarding the contractual obligations of contractors, in the presence of the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Planning and the head of the Contractors Union.

According to the statement, the meeting included a review of the details of contractual obligations, their amounts, and the sums due to contractors implementing projects for all ministries and governorates, in order to guarantee the rights of contracting companies and support the stability of the construction sector, which is one of the most important drivers of the national economy.

Al-Sudani directed the release of a new batch of payments for completed work as part of a series of payments to Iraqi contractors, stressing the government's commitment to monitoring projects and their implementation phases and ensuring the payment of financial dues to contractors, in order to move forward with infrastructure and service projects  link

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

Tishwash:  Parliamentary division precedes swearing-in session; vote on parliamentary speaker enters a phase of controversy.

 A parliamentary source revealed on Monday that there is a clear division within the Iraqi parliament, ahead of the swearing-in session, regarding the election of the parliament's leadership.

The source told Shafaq News Agency that "a number of MPs from political blocs, especially within the coordination framework, do not intend to abide by the directives of the heads of blocs and parties regarding voting on the candidates for Speaker of Parliament and his deputies, which threatens an undisciplined vote during the session."

He added that "the division is not limited to the House of Representatives, but also extends to the National Political Council and the Coordination Framework, where positions regarding the position of Speaker of Parliament are divided between a group that supports Hebat al-Halbousi, and another that supports Muthanna al-Samarrai."

The source indicated that the disputes also extend to the position of First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, particularly within the coordination framework, as the following are competing for the position: Yasser Al-Maliki, candidate of the State of Law Coalition; Adnan Faihan, candidate of Asaib Ahl Al-Haq and current Governor of Babylon and winner in the elections; Mohsen Al-Mandalawi; and Ahmed Al-Asadi, candidate of the Reconstruction and Development Coalition and current Minister of Labor and Social Affairs.

He explained that "the competition for the position of second deputy speaker of parliament is limited to two candidates, namely Shakhwan Abdullah from the Kurdistan Democratic Party, and Ribwar Karim from the Position Bloc," indicating that "the majority of the deputies of the political blocs tend to renew confidence in Shakhwan Abdullah to assume the position."

The Iraqi parliament is scheduled to hold its first session on Monday, its sixth session, which includes two items on its agenda: the first is the swearing-in of the new members, and the second is the election of the Speaker of Parliament and his two deputies, according to a statement issued by the parliament’s media department.

The Presidency of the House of Representatives consists of a Speaker and two Deputy Speakers, who manage the legislative sessions and organize the work of the Council. According to the political traditions followed after 2003, the position of Speaker of Parliament is allocated to the Sunni component, the First Deputy Speaker to the Shiite component, and the Second Deputy Speaker to the Kurdish component.

Confirmed New ZIG Notes Ready for Circulation Q1 2026

Swisher1776:   12-29-2025

ZIM RV: CONFIRMED NEW ZIG NOTES READY FOR CIRCULATION Q1 2026

The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) has confirmed that newly designed ZiG banknotes are ready for circulation, with distribution set to take place through banks and authorised outlets once rollout begins.

RBZ Governor Dr John Mushayavanhu said preparations are at an advanced stage, but stressed that the introduction of the new notes will be carefully managed to safeguard price and exchange rate stability.

Gradual Rollout Planned for Early 2026

Speaking in an interview, Dr Mushayavanhu said the release of the new ZiG notes will follow a phased approach guided by economic conditions and actual demand for cash.

He explained that circulation is expected to begin within the first quarter of 2026, allowing authorities to closely monitor market conditions and ensure a smooth transition.

No Expansion of Money Supply

The central bank governor assured the public that the introduction of physical ZiG notes will not increase the amount of money in circulation. Instead, banks will receive cash in exchange for their existing electronic balances held at the RBZ.

This approach, he said, is designed to maintain monetary discipline while improving convenience for cash users.

Public Awareness Campaign to Support Transition

To ensure public confidence, the RBZ plans to roll out a nationwide awareness campaign highlighting the new notes’ security features, durability and the safeguards in place to preserve currency stability.

Militia Man  Iraq's neighbors are implementing currency changes with Syria starting a 2-zero removal starting on January 1st.  Iran is planning a 4-zero cut from about March of next year.  Azerbaijan... launching a 4-zero redenomination on January 1st.  These efforts simplify transactions and build trust in regional economies...Iraq is going to be 
deleting 3-zeros.  I don't believe for a moment this is a coincidence of this going on.

Jeff   Article:  "Iranian government rolling out nationwide currency denomination"  Quote:  "Iran's government will begin the process of removing 4-zeros from the currency since the next Iranian year from March 21, 2026 to March 20, 2027..."  Why this period?  It's their budget period...I pulled this straight off the internet.  Iran's budget period/ fiscal year goes from March 21st to March 20th of the following year...Iraq's fiscal year goes from January 1st to December 31st.

Mnt Goat  There is so much real optimism and VERY GOOD news for Iraq and yet there is still lots of propaganda news... As investors in the Iraqi dinar, we need to hear optimistic and truthful news and it is all optimistic let there be no mistake about it...There is much more evidence than not that everything is pointing to early 2026 for them to normalize the dinar and place it back on FOREX to trade...I...can only rely on what my contact in the CBI along with the articles were telling us. They are telling us NOW IS THE TIME!

$100 Silver Likely As Manipulation Breaks | Ed Steer

Liberty and Finance:  12-28-2025

Ed Steer, a longtime precious metals analyst, argues that silver and other precious metals have been deliberately price-suppressed since the U.S. left the gold standard.

He claims that growing industrial demand and long-standing supply deficits are now forcing large short positions to unwind, driving prices higher.

Steer believes Western futures markets like COMEX are losing control of price discovery, which will increasingly shift to Asia, especially China.

 He warns that regulatory intervention could undermine market credibility and fail to stop a physical silver shortage. Overall, he argues the precious metals bull market is only in its early stages with significant upside ahead.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Monday Morning 12-29-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Iraq — Technically Ready, Politically Timed

Infrastructure aligned, reforms staged, execution dependent on stability

Overview

• Iraq has completed most technical requirements for modern banking and payments

• Monetary and settlement infrastructure is largely in place

• Currency reform is paced deliberately to align with political stability

• Timing, not capability, is the gating factor

Key Developments

• Banking system upgrades have aligned Iraq with international compliance standards

• Payment rails and settlement mechanisms have been modernized and tested

• Foreign reserve management has improved, supporting monetary credibility

• Oil revenue continues to anchor fiscal capacity and balance-of-payments strength

• Political coordination remains the primary variable influencing execution timing

• Gradual reform sequencing is favored over abrupt currency actions

Why It Matters

Iraq’s position illustrates a core truth of financial resets: technical readiness does not equal political readiness. The systems can be prepared, tested, and compliant, but execution depends on governance stability and coordinated policy decisions. Iraq’s measured approach reduces the risk of disruption while preserving the option to act when conditions align.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders, Iraq represents a case where infrastructure readiness precedes visible change. This creates extended periods of anticipation followed by decisive movement. Watching political alignment, regulatory clarity, and fiscal coordination matters more than tracking technical milestones already achieved.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Infrastructure First, Policy Follows
  Systems are built quietly before public currency actions occur.

• Pillar: Timing Protects Stability
  Deliberate sequencing reduces volatility during transition.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Vietnam — Quietly Ready, Strategically Patient

Why disciplined preparation matters more than dramatic moves

Overview

• Vietnam is among the most structurally prepared emerging economies

• Readiness has been built through manufacturing depth, trade integration, and monetary discipline

• Digital payment infrastructure is expanding rapidly without destabilizing reforms

• Vietnam’s strategy prioritizes stability, timing, and system alignment

Key Developments

• Vietnam is deeply embedded in global manufacturing supply chains

• Monetary policy remains conservative and stability-focused

• Foreign reserves have been managed prudently relative to growth

• Digital and cashless payment systems continue to scale nationally

• Trade relationships are diversified across major economic blocs

• Policy direction favors readiness without disruption

Why It Matters

Vietnam demonstrates how financial transitions occur without chaos. Instead of forcing currency shocks or public realignments, Vietnam has quietly aligned its infrastructure, reserves, and trade relationships. This approach reduces volatility while preserving flexibility when broader global shifts accelerate.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders, Vietnam illustrates that system readiness does not require headlines. Countries that modernize payment rails, maintain disciplined monetary policy, and integrate deeply into global trade are positioned to adapt smoothly during global resets. Quiet preparation often outperforms reactive policy shifts when currencies realign.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Stability Before Repricing
  Countries that build quietly reduce shock risk during transition.

• Pillar: Infrastructure Signals Readiness
  Payments, reserves, and trade alignment matter more than rhetoric.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Ukraine Peace Talks Reach Advanced Stage After Trump–Zelensky Meeting

Multi-hour Florida summit signals nearing resolution while key obstacles remain

Overview

• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. President Donald Trump report substantial progress toward a negotiated peace agreement

• Negotiators claim 90–95% of a proposed 20-point peace framework is agreed

• U.S.–Ukraine security guarantees are described as fully settled

• Final outcomes hinge on unresolved territorial, nuclear, and ceasefire issue

Key Developments

• Zelensky confirmed that approximately 90% of the 20-point peace plan is finalized

• Trump stated negotiators have resolved roughly 95% of the issues required to end the war

• U.S.–Ukraine security guarantees were described as “100% agreed” and a critical milestone

• Trump suggested clarity on success or failure would emerge within weeks

• Trump conducted a two-hour phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin prior to the meeting and planned follow-up discussions

• Negotiating teams are expected to reconvene in the coming weeks, potentially with European leaders present

Outstanding Obstacles

• Territorial Disputes: The status of the Donbas region remains the most contentious issue, with Trump warning Ukraine may face further losses if talks stall

• Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant: The U.S. proposed a joint operational framework involving Russia, which Zelensky has rejected

• Ceasefire Conditions: Zelensky insists a national referendum is required for any territorial concessions, while Russia has not yet agreed to a ceasefire to enable such a vote

Why It Matters

This negotiation phase represents more than a bilateral peace effort — it reflects broader geopolitical recalibration. A resolution to the Ukraine conflict would reduce systemic risk across energy markets, sovereign debt exposure, and European financial stability. The pace and structure of the deal signal that global powers are prioritizing managed outcomes over prolonged uncertainty.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders, progress toward a Ukraine peace agreement directly impacts risk premiums, currency valuation, and capital flows. Prolonged conflict forces governments to fund defense, energy subsidies, and reconstruction through debt expansion, which weakens currency credibility over time. A credible path to peace reduces these pressures and shifts focus toward fiscal normalization.

Peace also stabilizes Europe’s energy outlook. Lower geopolitical risk in Eastern Europe reduces volatility in energy pricing, which directly affects inflation, trade balances, and central bank policy across multiple currencies. When inflation pressure eases, currencies tied to disciplined monetary policy regain relative strength.

Most importantly, conflict resolution allows global capital to move from defensive positioning into restructuring mode. Investors begin repricing currencies based on infrastructure readiness, trade integration, and settlement efficiency rather than wartime uncertainty. Currencies backed by stable governance, secure energy access, and modern payment systems gain durability, while those reliant on emergency funding and prolonged instability face repricing risk.

In reset terms, peace does not trigger revaluation — it removes the final obstacle that allows revaluation mechanics to proceed.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Conflict Resolution Enables Financial Repricing
Large-scale geopolitical conflicts delay capital reallocation. Peace unlocks restructuring across trade, energy, and currency markets.

Pillar: Security Guarantees Anchor Stability
Formalized security frameworks reduce uncertainty premiums embedded in global markets.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

🌱 A Message to Our Currency Holders🌱

If you’ve been holding foreign currency for many years, you were not foolish.
You were not wrong to believe the global financial system would change.

What failed was not your patience — it was the information you were given.

For years, dates, rumors, and personalities replaced facts, structure, and proof. “This week” predictions created cycles of hope and disappointment that were never based on how currencies actually change.

That is not your failure.

Our mission here is different:   • No dates • No rates • No hype • No gurus

Instead, we focus on:
• Verifiable developments • Institutional evidence
• Global financial structure • Where countries actually sit in the process

Currency value changes only come after sovereignty, trade, banking, settlement systems, and fiscal coordination are in place. History and institutions confirm this sequence.

You will see silence. You will see denials. That is not delay — that is discipline.

Protect your identity. Organize your documents.      Verify everything.
Never hand your discernment to anyone who cannot show proof.

You deserve truth — not timelines.

Why 2026 will be the End of the Fiat Experiment

Why 2026 will be the End of the Fiat Experiment

As Good As Gold Australia:   12-28-2025

As we navigate the complexities of the current financial landscape, industry experts Daryl Payne, CEO of As Good as Gold Australia, and Alasdair Macleod offer a stark warning: the global economy is on the brink of a significant upheaval.

In a detailed discussion, they shed light on the precious metals market, particularly silver and gold, and what the future holds for these assets amidst growing economic instability.

The conversation begins with silver, a metal that has been quietly gaining momentum. Alasdair Macleod highlights that silver prices are experiencing an extraordinary rise, primarily driven by industrial demand.

 The surge in emerging technologies, such as electric vehicle batteries, has significantly increased the demand for silver, propelling its price upwards. Moreover, central banks, especially in Asia, are accumulating silver reserves, further bolstering its value.

Macleod emphasizes that the long-term suppression of silver prices is finally correcting itself, reflecting fundamental changes in demand.

This breakout is not just a market fluctuation; it’s a significant shift that investors should take note of. As the world transitions towards greener technologies, the demand for silver is expected to continue its upward trajectory, making it a critical asset to watch in the coming years.

The discussion then shifts to gold, an asset that has traditionally served as a safe haven during times of economic uncertainty.

Alasdair Macleod underscores gold’s role as a monetary asset, particularly in an era where fiat currencies are facing increasing instability. The U.S. dollar, a long-standing global reserve currency, is under scrutiny as the global economy grapples with massive credit and equity bubbles.

Macleod warns that the current global credit and equity bubble is the largest in recorded history, far surpassing the 1929 crash.

As this bubble nears its bursting point, the repercussions will be severe, including rising bond yields, plummeting equity prices, and heightened counterparty risks. In such a scenario, gold is poised to play a crucial role as a safe-haven asset, protecting investors from the impending financial storm.

The conversation also delves into the broader geopolitical and currency implications of the current financial landscape.

The era of fiat currency is seen to be in decline, with major currencies like the U.S. dollar facing a loss of purchasing power. China is strategically positioning itself with gold-backed yuan trade settlements and forming alliances through BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

Meanwhile, Europe and NATO are experiencing political fractures that could further destabilize the global financial system.

As the geopolitical landscape continues to evolve, the importance of holding assets that are insulated from these risks becomes increasingly evident.

Alasdair Macleod stresses that rising inflation is inevitable and that governments may resort to price controls, which will only exacerbate economic pain for ordinary people. In this context, preserving wealth through hard assets like gold and silver becomes a prudent strategy. Macleod urges investors not to wait for price dips but to secure their holdings promptly.

The key takeaway is clear: in uncertain times, understanding the dynamics of the precious metals market and the broader financial environment is crucial for protecting individual and community wealth. Education and awareness are the first steps towards making informed investment decisions.

The insights shared by Daryl Payne and Alasdair Macleod offer a compelling case for why gold and silver should be at the forefront of any investment strategy in the coming years.

 As the global economy hurtles towards significant changes, these precious metals are poised to play a pivotal role in safeguarding wealth.

For those looking to navigate the complexities of the current financial landscape, the message is clear: now is the time to act.

Our IQD Investment is No Longer Speculative Now Classified as Inevitable

Our IQD Investment is No Longer Speculative Now Classified as Inevitable

Edu Matrix:  12-28-2025

The Iraqi dinar has long been a topic of interest among currency investors and enthusiasts, with many speculating about its potential appreciation.

However, skeptics and doubters have raised concerns about the likelihood of the dinar’s value increasing. A recent video addresses these concerns, outlining seven critical factors that the Iraqi government must fulfill before the currency can realistically increase in value.

According to the speaker, the appreciation of the Iraqi dinar is not speculative, but rather inevitable once certain economic and political conditions are met.

So, what are these conditions, and how can they impact the dinar’s value?

One of the primary conditions for the dinar’s appreciation is reducing the excess dinars in circulation. This is a crucial step in stabilizing the currency and preventing inflation. By controlling the money supply, the Iraqi government can help maintain the dinar’s purchasing power and increase its value.

A robust banking system is essential for attracting foreign investment and promoting economic growth. The speaker emphasizes that the Iraqi banking system needs to be strengthened to support the dinar’s appreciation. This can be achieved by implementing modern banking practices, improving regulatory frameworks, and enhancing financial infrastructure.

Internal conflicts and political instability can deter investors and hinder economic growth. The speaker stresses that a stable government is vital for creating a favorable business environment, which can, in turn, support the dinar’s appreciation.

Iraq’s economy is heavily reliant on oil exports, making it vulnerable to fluctuations in global oil prices. Diversifying the economy and promoting other sectors, such as agriculture, tourism, and manufacturing, can help reduce this dependence and create a more stable economic foundation.

Adequate foreign reserves are essential for maintaining currency stability and supporting economic growth. The Iraqi government needs to build its foreign reserves to demonstrate its ability to manage the economy and stabilize the dinar.

To attract foreign investment and participate in the global economy, Iraq must comply with international financial rules and regulations. This includes implementing anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations, as well as adhering to global standards for financial reporting and transparency.

The speaker highlights that one of the significant challenges facing Iraq is the resistance to interest-based financial systems and forex trading, driven by religious and political factors. This resistance hinders the country’s ability to adopt modern financial practices and integrate into the global economy.

While these conditions are being addressed, the speaker emphasizes that the eventual currency adjustment will be driven by global market forces, rather than speculative “revalue” claims. The exact future value of the dinar remains unknown, but holders of large amounts have the potential to capitalize significantly.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Silver Market Structural Imbalance: Squeeze Signals and Supply Stress

Veteran analysts warn silver’s rally may reflect deeper market mechanics, not just short-term price moves

Overview

• The silver market is experiencing a sustained structural supply-demand imbalance

• Industrial demand has surged as inventories tighten and production remains constrained

• Severe price action, record levels, and delivery stress suggest deeper stress in the paper–physical relationship

• Analysts with decades of experience see conditions that diverge from normal market behavior

Key Developments

• Silver prices have surged sharply in 2025, breaking multiple historic levels and outperforming other precious metals in percentage terms as demand outpaces supply 

• Market observers point to persistent supply deficits and expanding industrial usage, particularly in technology and clean energy sectors 

• Structural constraints on physical inventories — and tight access to deliverable metal — are beginning to influence pricing behavior in futures and spot markets, according to expert commentary and investor analysis 

• Paper markets now face growing scrutiny as analysts note large leveraged positions may be under stress in environments where physical is scarce and delivery demand rises 

Why It Matters

This is not a garden-variety rally. What experienced market observers are describing is a shock to the balance between promises (paper contracts) and deliverable reality (metal inventories). When delivery obligations start to outrun physical availability, the market begins to price risk differently, shifting attention from purely financial trading to real asset scarcity. This dynamic can expose structural vulnerabilities that normal supply-demand analysis alone does not capture.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders, a stressed foundational market such as silver represents more than industrial risk — it signals monetary and systemic liquidity dynamics at work. When asset markets begin reconciling paper positions with physical reality, confidence in financial promises shifts. Hard assets that can be physically owned and delivered become a hedge against both currency risk and counterparty risk, particularly in an era of high global debt and monetary expansion.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Asset Scarcity Reframes Price Discovery
  Structural metal scarcity elevates real inventories above abstract price signals.

• Pillar: Real Commodities Matter in Financial Architecture
  Markets that fail to reconcile physical constraints with financial instruments create systemic stress points.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Bitcoin vs ISO Assets: Speculation vs Infrastructure

Why narrative-driven assets behave differently from settlement-grade systems

Overview

• Bitcoin and ISO-compliant digital assets serve fundamentally different roles

• Bitcoin is driven by speculation, liquidity, and narrative

• ISO assets are designed for regulated settlement and interoperability

• Infrastructure assets gain value through use, not hype

• The distinction matters as the global financial system modernizes

Key Developments

• Bitcoin continues to dominate retail and institutional speculative exposure

• ISO 20022 has become the standard language for global payments

• Only a limited set of digital assets are compatible with institutional rails

• Financial institutions prioritize speed, finality, cost, and compliance

• Alternative settlement systems are being built alongside legacy rails

• Asset-backed models are replacing debt-only expansion frameworks

Speculation vs Infrastructure: How They Differ

Bitcoin — A Speculative Asset
Bitcoin’s value is primarily driven by belief, scarcity narrative, and liquidity access. It trades like a macro risk asset, responding to sentiment, monetary policy expectations, and capital flows. Its design prioritizes decentralization and security over throughput, resulting in slower settlement times and higher transaction costs during congestion.

ISO-Compliant Assets — Financial Infrastructure
ISO assets are engineered for interoperability within regulated financial systems. Their value proposition lies in efficiency, not appreciation. These assets facilitate rapid settlement, low-cost transfers, and messaging compatibility with central banks and financial institutions. Adoption depends on legal clarity and operational necessity rather than market excitement.

Why It Matters

As the financial system transitions, speculation and infrastructure will not be valued the same way. Speculative assets inflate early in cycles when liquidity is abundant. Infrastructure assets become indispensable later, when systems require reliability and scale. Confusing these roles leads to misaligned expectations about price behavior and adoption timelines.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders, understanding this distinction is critical. Speculative assets may offer volatility-driven gains but lack settlement reliability. Infrastructure assets support cross-border trade, liquidity management, and monetary stability. As countries modernize payment systems, currencies aligned with ISO-compliant rails and asset-backed frameworks gain durability.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Narrative Leads, Infrastructure Lasts
  Speculation captures attention early; systems that move value endure.

• Pillar: Function Determines Survival
  Assets integrated into payment and settlement networks outlast those reliant on belief alone.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Bitcoin vs XRP vs Gold: Speculation, Settlement, and Sovereign Trust

Three assets, three roles, one transforming financial system

Overview

• Bitcoin, XRP, and gold serve distinct and non-interchangeable functions

• Bitcoin operates as a speculative digital asset

• XRP is designed for high-speed settlement and liquidity bridging

• Gold remains the ultimate sovereign reserve asset

• Confusing these roles leads to incorrect expectations about value and adoption

Key Developments

• Bitcoin dominates digital asset speculation and liquidity flows

• XRP continues integration into cross-border payment infrastructure

• Central banks remain aggressive buyers of physical gold

• Payment systems are upgrading to ISO-compliant digital rails

• Asset-backed settlement models are gaining institutional support

• Monetary systems are separating value storage from value movement

Role Comparison: How Each Asset Functions

Bitcoin — Speculation and Narrative
Bitcoin’s value is driven by belief, liquidity, and scarcity narrative. It performs well during risk-on cycles and monetary expansion. However, limited throughput, higher fees during congestion, and slow finality restrict its usefulness as a settlement asset at institutional scale.

XRP — Settlement and Liquidity
XRP was engineered to move value quickly, cheaply, and with finality. Its role is not to replace sovereign currencies, but to bridge them. XRP reduces reliance on pre-funded accounts and enables real-time cross-border settlement. Adoption depends on regulatory clarity and operational efficiency rather than speculative demand.

Gold — Sovereign Trust and Collateral
Gold anchors monetary confidence. It carries no counterparty risk and has functioned as a reserve asset across centuries. Central banks accumulate gold to protect balance sheets against currency debasement, sanctions, and systemic shocks. Gold does not move value — it secures it.

Why It Matters

The evolving financial system is modular. Different assets perform different tasks. Bitcoin captures speculative attention, XRP facilitates movement, and gold anchors trust. Systems that mistake speculation for infrastructure risk instability. Systems that align assets to function gain resilience.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders, this distinction determines exposure. Speculative assets respond to sentiment. Settlement assets respond to usage. Reserve assets respond to confidence breakdowns. As the reset progresses, currencies tied to efficient settlement and credible reserves gain strength relative to those dependent on debt expansion alone.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Function Over Hype
  Assets survive based on utility, not popularity.

• Pillar: Separation of Roles
  Storing value, moving value, and pricing risk require different tools.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR Update as of Sun. 28 Dec. 2025

Compiled Sun. 28 Dec. 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Sat. 27 Dec. 2025 Something big just happened, and most people missed it. …Charlie Ward and Friends on Telegram

For nearly a year, President Trump has been (allegedly) executing a quiet but deliberate economic realignment. While the public focused on headlines about inflation, gas prices, and GDP, the real operation unfolded behind the scenes. That was intentional. This was never meant to be a media event.

The surface indicators told part of the story. Fuel prices dropped. GDP stabilized. Consumer spending surged. Inflation cooled. Wages began catching up. Analysts called it a “soft recovery,” but the explanation never fit. This was not market correction. It was structural intervention.

Domestic energy production was restored by removing global regulatory locks disguised as environmental policy. Transportation costs collapsed as internal supply chains were rebuilt. ESG capital lost its grip on logistics and pricing. Foreign backchannels that inflated costs were severed. The pressure on households was not eased by chance. It was forced.

But those moves were only preparation. The real shift is happening now. NESARA systems are already (allegedly) active inside classified Treasury routing layers. Asset backed recalibration protocols have been (allegedly) uploaded to QFS nodes. Debt cancellation frameworks are (allegedly) live.

Seizure orders tied to criminal finance networks are being executed and reassigned through the only system built to survive this transition.

Tier 1 transfers have begun. Over ninety thousand ledger synced accounts are already (allegedly) in pre-disbursement status. Military supervised sync centers reported live movement days ago. Redemption infrastructure has moved into continuous readiness. These funds are not tax revenue or stimulus. They are reclaimed assets taken from trafficking, war profiteering, and offshore laundering operations and rerouted under sovereign settlement rules.

This is why the banks are silent. Retail institutions are (allegedly) positioning quietly. The Federal Reserve has stopped forward guidance. European clearinghouses are freezing payouts without explanation. The old system is(allegedly)  being powered down gradually while the new one runs in parallel.

December is not random. It is the staging window. The full system switch is scheduled for January. Infrastructure is already deployed. Legacy fiat accounts are being detached from settlement layers. Once Tier 1 closes, that channel closes with it.

This was never about convincing the public. The public only understands after transitions are complete. Trump is not campaigning on the economy. He is dismantling the architecture that made permanent control possible.

If you are already positioned, there is nothing to wait for. Tier 1 is operational and nearly complete. Everyone else will learn what happened after the wealth has already moved.

The dollar will not vanish overnight. It will drain slowly while the asset backed system accelerates.

When people finally ask where the money went, the answer will be simple. It went to those who were paying attention.

~~~~~~~~~~~

World Economic Situation:

Sat. 27 Dec. 2025 A quiet panic is spreading through the global banking system, and it has nothing to do with markets. What is happening now is structural dismantling.

The old control grid built on debt, surveillance, and behavioral compliance is (allegedly) being taken apart deliberately and permanently. Banks are not collapsing on their own. They are (allegedly) being shut down node by node.

When Donald Trump returned to office in January 2025, the covert phase ended. Years of preparation(allegedly)  moved into execution. Central-bank choke points were severed. Hidden asset pipelines were seized. Quantum-aligned financial channels were activated. Redemption Centers (allegedly) came online.

From that moment forward, gold recalibration systems began syncing across secure networks. Wealth that had been (allegedly) trapped inside elite-controlled structures started moving through verified, non-bank pathways. The press said nothing. But military cyber units, Treasury white hats, and intelligence veterans across multiple allied nations saw the same data: a banking system bleeding assets, fabricating solvency, running ghost ledgers, and scrambling to relocate gold like a collapsing regime.

Banks were never about money. They were about control.

Credit scores were behavioral leashes. Loans were compliance tests. Payroll data fed predictive systems. “Fraud prevention” masked biometric tracking. By 2020, central banks had (allegedly) plans to eliminate cash, merge medical data with spending behavior, and link identity verification to obedience scoring. The pandemic era wasn’t the endgame. It was a rehearsal.

That trajectory was supposed to lock in by 2026. It didn’t.

The expansion of Redemption Centers in early 2025 shattered the system’s defenses. These are not civilian money hubs. They are (allegedly) gold-anchored, QFS-synced, and structurally independent from BIS, IMF, and legacy central-bank networks. Banks cannot access them. Cannot audit them. Cannot freeze them. Cannot interfere.

For the first time in over a century, financial flow is exiting elite custody. That is why, right now, the response is frantic.

Gold is being pulled from contingency vaults in Switzerland and Northern Italy tied to post-WWII emergency liquidity frameworks. Major European banks are(allegedly)  submitting fabricated asset reports just to stay inside transaction windows, reports that now fail upgraded Treasury verification protocols. Cyber attacks have been (allegedly) launched against QFS routing infrastructure, neutralized before reaching quantum layers. Media blackout directives have gone out globally, instructing outlets to mock, deny, and redirect attention, using the same coordination channels deployed during lockdowns and digital ID pushes.

The fingerprints are identical. The structure is collapsing. NESARA is no longer (allegedly) theoretical. It is active. Verified disbursements are already routing through quantum validation layers. January 2026 is the lock-in point. When the fiat scaffolding finally gives way, alignment will determine survival.

The panic is not about money. They can create digits endlessly. The panic is about losing control over who can hold value, who can move it, and who can build with it.

Redemption Centers (allegedly) bypass their grip. Quantum verification ends their surveillance. And the old system has no counter.

FINAL NOTE FOR DECEMBER 23, 2025: This is not a future event. It is operational. This Christmas is not symbolic. It is a staging window.

The largest financial realignment in human history is (allegedly) underway, quietly, decisively, and without reversal.

Mnt Goat  My CBI contact...told me on my call...to Iraq that we will see articles about the removal of these larger three-zero notes and the swap out. She told me we already should have witnessed much recent news about the removal of the zeros and so pay close attention. She also said the CBI site will be updated with pictures of the newer lower denominations soon once the trigger is pulled to begin... 

Frank26  Today you have a presidential decree for parliament to sit on the 29th.  That's a very direct command.  I believe they will obey.  We should see your [Iraqi] government formed.  We should see the HCL and we should see a new exchange rate.  We should see the lower notes from the 29th to the 31st.  Anything short of that is a complete failure especially with Mark Savaya right after you're supposed to do that.

Jeff   They have 3 aspects of the government formation regarding the elections they have to do.  They have to finish and complete the parliament.  After they complete the parliament they have to finish and complete the president of the country, then the prime minister.  This very next session of parliament around the 29th they could or might complete the formation of parliament.  [Then] parliament can resume having sessions...By changing the rate while the government is being formed, during the year of '25, makes the most sense because it allows them to hit the ground running...Otherwise if they're waiting till the government's done, they would probably be waiting until at least February.

The Dollar’s WORST YEAR in a Decade - Global Currency Repricing Is Here

Lena Petrova:  12-28-2025

In this video, I break down why the dollar weakened sharply through 2025, what the drop in the US Dollar Index (DXY) really means, and why this move may signal a structural shift after decades of dollar dominance.

 We look at the key drivers behind the selloff — rising US debt, widening fiscal deficits, slowing relative growth, tariff uncertainty, and growing global investor hedging against dollar exposure.

 I address the big question: does a weakening dollar mean you should buy gold now? I explain why gold is often promoted during periods of dollar stress, the risks many overlook, and why gold isn’t always the automatic answer.

“Tidbits From TNT” Sunday 12-28-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  From "nothing" to billionaires... What are the secrets of the phenomenon of "exorbitant and rapid wealth" in Iraq?

Hussein Omran, a researcher in strategic, political, and regional security affairs, highlighted the phenomenon of "exorbitant and rapid wealth accumulation" that has spread in Iraq In recent years, he described it as a product of the "shadow economy" and not the result of investment acumen or genuine entrepreneurship.

Imran noted in a post that I followed Alsumaria News until the scene The Iraqi has become It is teeming with figures "with no commercial or industrial history" who, in record time, became billionaires.

The researcher attributed this shift to two main, almost guaranteed paths to wealth beyond oversight:

The first path: the dollar "machine" and currency platform: Imran argued that manipulating the price difference between the official and parallel markets, fictitious invoices, and transfers made through front companies and banks lacking genuine oversight, transformed the dollar into a means of exorbitant profit with no risk or added value to the economy, in addition to serving as a cover for money laundering operations.

The second path: oil smuggling and the regional shadow market: The researcher explained that regional crises, particularly those related to Iran, created a massive parallel oil market. He emphasized that Iraq It has become a "corridor and outlet" through complex land and sea routes, where oil is sold under various guises via a system that includes tankers, intermediaries, and formal and informal facilities, making "proximity to oil" the shortest path to wealth.

 Imran warned of the disastrous consequences of this model , emphasizing that it neither builds a state nor creates jobs, but rather produces a "parasitic elite" linked to or protected by politics, which fights any attempt at reform because it threatens its source of profit.

Imran described this situation as "Collapse The "quiet" collapse, which doesn't happen with a resounding explosion, but rather seeps into the structure of society when an entire generation becomes convinced that "work and production" stupidity

The researcher concluded his presentation with a question that sparked widespread discussion: "Do you know anyone who had nothing and is now a billionaire?", highlighting the clarity of the phenomenon and the inability of natural economic logic to explain it.  link

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

Tishwash:  The Iraqi parliament publishes the agenda for Monday's session.

 The Iraqi parliament is scheduled to hold its first session of its sixth term on Monday at 12 noon, which includes two items on its agenda.

The first paragraph includes: the swearing-in of the new members of the House of Representatives, and the other includes: the election of the Speaker of the House of Representatives and his two deputies, according to a statement issued by the Parliament’s Media Department.

In the past few days, the Shiite, Sunni, and Kurdish political forces and parties that won the elections have intensified their discussions in order to decide on the three top leadership positions: Speaker of Parliament, President of the Republic, and Prime Minister.

After the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime in the spring of 2003 at the hands of American forces and their allies, the major political forces of the Shiites, Kurds, and Sunnis adopted a quota system in distributing positions for the three presidencies: the Prime Minister’s office, the Republic, and Parliament.

Last Saturday, the head of the Supreme Judicial Council, Faiq Zaidan, confirmed that the first session of the new House of Representatives, scheduled for December 29, 2025, must decide on the appointment of the Speaker of the House and his two deputies, and it is not constitutionally or legally permissible to postpone or extend it.  link

Tishwash:  "Threaten them with their money": Savaya receives advice on the weaknesses of Iraqi politicians

The Middle East Monitor website offered advice to the US Special Envoy to Iraq, Mark Savaya, that if he wants to succeed in his Iraqi mission and survive what the report called the "theater of illusions" represented by Baghdad, he should scrutinize who is making money. 

After the London-based website pointed out that Savaya came to his position as a reward for his loyalty, and not through hardening his resolve through Middle Eastern events and calculations, it noted that he comes to the den of wolves armed with a smile and an outstretched hand, but his experience is shallow and his mandate is to dismantle the Popular Mobilization Forces and cut the strong bond of loyalty that connects Baghdad to Tehran, in order to pull Iraq back into the sunlight from the darkness of Iran.

The report, translated by Shafaq News Agency, said that Savaya will walk through a maze of deception, where every door in front of him is a trap. It added that the leaders he will deal with have overcome dictatorships, invasions, coups, sanctions, revolutions, and wars, and buried their enemies. They speak cunningly and will mislead him by drowning him in unimportant details. It noted that they are skilled at camouflage and that their civility is merely a sword covered in silk, and that he will have to identify the twin forces behind their actions in order to understand them. 

The report continued, saying: “These are not patriots, but rather a coterie of greed. They do not worship ideology, but rather power. They do not cling to faith, but rather to wealth. They are not ministers and parliamentarians, but rather leaders of a league wearing government clothes. They lead militia groups, order kidnappings, and silence journalists.” It added that they “have been looting Iraq since 2003, and they feed on a wounded lion like hyenas.”

The report said that, like all criminals, they "made one major mistake: they left a financial trail." 

The report explained that their wealth is not in Baghdad, but rather their money is hidden in vaults in Switzerland, in Iranian banks, in shell companies, in offshore accounts, and in real estate in Europe, North America, and within the United States, noting that the “Panama Papers” scandal contributed to lifting the veil and to the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control tracking them. 

The report urged Savaya to use the weapon of "the power of fear" against these people because they fear poverty and bankruptcy, not troops and bombs, if he wanted his mission to succeed. 

The report outlined this proposed scenario, with the author addressing Savaya: “Sit before them, smile diplomatically, and present them with a document granting the United States government full legal authority to investigate, trace, and seize any asset, account, or investment in their names, the names of their children, or the names of those in their inner circle.”

He continued, “Tell them this document means nothing if they are truly innocent. Watch their hands tremble, watch their masks break, and those who are honest will sign. But the corrupt will stall, and they will erupt in anger at the sudden infringement upon their sovereignty over their ill-gotten gains.” 

He added, "These men are not motivated by dignity or belief. It is the fear of losing everything they have stolen that motivates them." 

The report stated that "money is only one of their weapons; their second weapon is deception. They are experts in smiles, hugs, and schemes. They are a group of promises and betrayals, and they practice dissimulation," noting that this does not represent theology or science, but rather "a sacred art of lying," and every handshake is worthless. 

The report continued, saying, "They will obstruct him, and stifle him with delays until he gets tired and defeated," adding that "we must remember that the Iraqi tragedy did not arise only in a state of chaos, but rather in the collaboration between cynical foreigners and opportunistic Iraqis, and between external power and internal treachery." 

The report argued that Savaya was not sent to deal with a democratic entity, but rather with a market where loyalty is a commodity, where alliances can be auctioned off, and where patriotism can be faked. It added that "if Savaya wants to dismantle the Popular Mobilization Forces, and if he wants to destroy Tehran's grip, then he must harness the one thing these men fear, which is money, not truth, not principles, not justice." 

The report concluded by addressing Savaya, saying, "Follow the money. Seize it. Threaten, use it, and only then will they bow down. Only then will they surrender. Only then will the empire of thieves tremble." It continued, "Follow the money, and never stop until their world collapses."

Mot: scary 2026

Mot: Snow Daze!!!

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Sunday Morning 12-28-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

The Architecture of the New Global Financial System Is Already Visible

Gold-backed value, digital rails, and ISO-compliant assets form the backbone

Overview

• Central banks are accelerating gold accumulation as neutral monetary collateral

• The next system is shaping up as asset-backed, digital, and interoperable

• ISO 20022 compliance has become the baseline requirement for participation

• A limited group of digital assets are positioned for institutional use

• Speed, finality, scalability, and compliance now outweigh ideology

Key Developments

• Central banks have shifted from fiat expansion to reserve hardening

• Gold is increasingly treated as balance-sheet insurance rather than a legacy asset

• ISO 20022 messaging is live across major payment and settlement systems

• BRICS introduced the Unit, a basket-backed settlement instrument for wholesale trade

• Countries are preparing sovereign digital currencies backed by domestic assets

• Interoperability between national systems is now the primary challenge

Special Focus: Key Watched Technologies and Assets

ISO 20022 Digital Assets
Only a small number of digital assets meet institutional requirements for messaging compatibility, regulatory oversight, and throughput. These assets are designed to function inside financial infrastructure, not outside it.

XRP as a Bridge Asset
XRP was designed to provide on-demand liquidity between currencies without requiring pre-funded accounts. Its ability to move value in seconds at negligible cost addresses the core inefficiencies of correspondent banking. Scalability, speed, and finality position XRP as connective infrastructure rather than a speculative store of value.

Bitcoin’s Structural Limitations
Bitcoin demonstrated that digital scarcity is possible, but it was not designed for modern settlement. Long confirmation times, high fees during congestion, and limited throughput restrict its usefulness for institutional-scale payments. Bitcoin functions as a speculative asset, not financial plumbing.

BRICS Unit and Multipolar Settlement
The BRICS Unit reflects a broader move toward collateral-backed settlement instruments that reduce reliance on any single national currency. It signals a shift from reserve dominance to asset-based trust.

Why It Matters

The global financial system is not collapsing — it is being rewired. Nations are preserving sovereignty while upgrading rails. Value is being anchored to assets, while movement of value is being digitized. This separation of what backs money from how money moves is the defining feature of the transition now underway.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders, the reset changes what determines credibility. Currencies tied to real assets, efficient settlement, and compliant infrastructure gain durability. Those dependent on debt expansion, slow rails, and political leverage face repricing risk. Watching infrastructure readiness now matters more than watching headlines.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Assets Back Value, Networks Move It
  Gold and national resources anchor trust, while digital rails provide speed and scale.

• Pillar: Interoperability Over Dominance
  The future system favors connection between currencies, not replacement of them.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Silver vs Gold: Same Monetary Family, Very Different Market Mechanics

Why silver behaves like a leveraged monetary metal while gold anchors stability

Overview

• Gold and silver both function as monetary metals, but their market structures differ sharply

• Gold trades primarily as a reserve asset, while silver straddles monetary and industrial demand

• Silver’s smaller market size makes it more sensitive to leverage and liquidity stress

• Divergence between the two often signals shifts in risk, inflation expectations, and liquidity

Key Developments

• Central banks overwhelmingly accumulate gold, not silver, for reserves

• Silver demand is split between industrial use and investment, tightening supply cycles

• Paper-to-physical ratios are significantly higher in silver markets

• Silver inventories are thinner relative to annual demand

• Gold markets are deeper and more liquid, reducing volatility

• Silver reacts faster — and more violently — during leverage unwinds

Market Mechanics: Why They Behave Differently

Gold
Gold functions as a monetary anchor. Central banks hold it, sovereigns settle with it, and it carries minimal industrial dependency. Its futures and OTC markets are large and liquid, allowing stress to dissipate more slowly. Gold moves when confidence shifts — but rarely gaps without cause.

Silver
Silver behaves like a pressure valve. Its dual role creates constant tension between industrial consumption and monetary demand. Because the silver market is much smaller, leveraged positions dominate price discovery during stress. When liquidity tightens or physical supply is constrained, silver reprices rapidly.

Why It Matters

Silver often moves after gold signals a trend — but moves faster and farther once constraints appear. This is not speculation; it is structure. When markets begin repricing monetary risk, gold establishes credibility while silver exposes fragility. The relationship acts as an early warning system for leverage, inflation, and settlement stress.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders, the gold–silver relationship reveals confidence versus pressure. Gold reflects trust erosion in fiat systems, while silver reflects stress inside them. When silver outperforms sharply, it suggests leverage is unwinding and liquidity is thinning — conditions that often precede currency instability or repricing

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Gold Anchors, Silver Signals
  Gold stabilizes confidence; silver exposes structural strain.

• Pillar: Liquidity Determines Volatility
  Smaller, leveraged markets reprice faster when systems are stressed.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Ukraine Under Fire Ahead of Critical Zelenskiy–Trump Summit

Mass missile and drone strikes intensify pressure as peace talks approach

Overview

• Russia launched a large-scale aerial assault on Kyiv and other regions

• The attack came just ahead of a high-stakes meeting between President Zelenskiy and President Trump

• Hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles targeted civilian and energy infrastructure

• The timing signals an attempt to shape negotiations through escalation

Key Developments

• Ukraine reported approximately 500 drones and 40 missiles launched overnight

• Air raid alerts lasted nearly ten hours in Kyiv

• At least one fatality and multiple injuries were confirmed, including children

• Energy facilities were struck, leaving large portions of Kyiv without heat and power

• Damage was reported across seven districts, including residential high-rises

• Polish airspace disruptions triggered heightened regional military readiness

• Peace discussions center on territorial control, security guarantees, and economic zones

• A draft 20-point peace framework is nearing completion but remains unresolved

Why It Matters

This escalation underscores how military pressure is being used as leverage at the negotiating table. Energy infrastructure targeting highlights the weaponization of winter hardship, while the timing ahead of diplomatic talks suggests an effort to influence terms before concessions are finalized. The conflict remains a major destabilizing force for Europe and global markets.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders, renewed escalation increases geopolitical risk premiums across Europe. Energy disruption, reconstruction costs, and prolonged uncertainty strain fiscal balances and influence currency valuation. Wars that drag into negotiation phases often trigger currency realignment, reserve shifts, and debt restructuring, all critical signals for those watching the global reset.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: War Accelerates Financial Fragmentation
  Prolonged conflict deepens the divide between geopolitical blocs and settlement systems.

• Pillar: Energy Security Equals Currency Stability
  Targeted infrastructure attacks directly impact inflation, sovereign budgets, and monetary credibility.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

The Biggest Credit Bubble in History

The Biggest Credit Bubble in History

WTFinance:  12-27-2025

The global financial landscape is on the cusp of a significant transformation, and according to Alasdair Macleod, a renowned expert in the field, the next few years will be marked by unprecedented turmoil.

 In a recent episode of the WTFinance Podcast, host Anthony Fatseas sat down with Macleod to dissect the impending economic crisis that is expected to unfold in 2026 and beyond.

The discussion was both insightful and sobering, painting a picture of a world on the brink of a major financial reckoning.

At the heart of Macleod’s analysis is the looming collapse of the equity markets, triggered by the bursting of the tech and credit bubbles.

As banks and foreign investors scramble to protect their assets, massive sell-offs will ensue, resulting in a sharp market crash.

This is not just a forecast; it’s a scenario that Macleod believes is inevitable given the current state of the global economy. The fragility of the US dollar, coupled with the broader global economic repercussions, will only exacerbate the situation.

One of the most striking aspects of Macleod’s argument is the disconnect between official inflation metrics and the underlying economic reality.

Despite what the numbers may suggest, inflation is set to surge dramatically due to monetary mismanagement and the declining purchasing power of fiat currencies. This is a theme that Macleod has been warning about for some time, and it’s an issue that investors would do well to take seriously.

The banking system, too, is facing significant challenges.

Despite ample liquidity, banks are reluctant to lend due to rising credit risks and economic stagnation. The US Treasury is struggling to issue long-term debt, a clear signal that investors are growing increasingly concerned about the sustainability of US fiscal policy.

Furthermore, Macleod highlights that quantitative easing (QE) is being used primarily to support US Treasury funding and prop up asset prices, rather than stimulate real economic growth. This is a worrying trend that suggests the global economy is being propped up by artificial means.

Geopolitically, the landscape is also shifting. China is strategically distancing itself from the weakening US dollar by accumulating gold reserves and promoting the yuan for international trade among BRICS and Shanghai Cooperation Organization members.

Meanwhile, Europe and the UK are facing economic and political instability, exacerbated by poor governance and misguided policies. Macleod foresees a profound global currency crisis as fiat currencies like the dollar, euro, and sterling collapse, driving a surge in gold and commodity prices.

So, what does this mean for investors? Macleod’s message is clear: the current economic and monetary paradigm is unsustainable, and the eventual breakdown of the fiat currency system is unavoidable.

 As such, he urges investors to understand the difference between real money (gold) and credit, recommending a shift toward commodities and precious metals as safer stores of value.

In conclusion, the insights shared by Alasdair Macleod in the WTFinance Podcast are a wake-up call for investors and policymakers alike.

The global economy is on the cusp of a significant transformation, and it’s essential that we prepare for the challenges ahead.

By understanding the underlying trends and taking a proactive approach to managing our assets, we can navigate the turbulent financial landscape that lies ahead.

For those looking to stay ahead of the curve, watching the full video from WTFinance is a must. Macleod’s analysis is both nuanced and thought-provoking, offering a unique perspective on the global economic landscape. As we move into 2026 and beyond, his warnings should not be taken lightly.
