Monday Coffee with MarkZ, 02/23/2026
Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

Member: Good Morning…..last of February…..clock is ticking
Member: GM Mark and friends.... new week ... new hope
Member: MarkZ is really scaling us back on podcasts, maybe it’s almost time!
Member: Is today the day? I still have great hope for February…how about you Mark?
MZ: I also still have great hope for February…..there are sure a a lot of rumors running around.
Member: Friday you described yourself as bubbly and excited ....the movement of certain people has your undivided attention...so what are we waiting for now?
Member: Sure are lots of crazy rumors over the weekend..
Member: The Confusion Is Intentional & 'Could' Mean We Are Close, Very Close ...
MZ: The rumors are running crazy and obscene….They are up, down and conflicting. It is difficult to figure out what is real and what is not. We are getting different stories from different groups. To me there is a extreme level of disinformation going on.
MZ: I have a couple of bond sources that very much believe that the QFS opens completely tomorrow and we get announcements…..sounds great….right? I hope they are right.
MZ: To me its very interesting that from some of the same groups…. on the bond side some claim some have been paid….and when I reach out to some of the key people they tell me they have not been paid…so we are getting conflicting information.
MZ: What I am also hearing from some bigger bond and currency groups attached to sovereigns (Tier 3) that they have great expectations for this week.
MZ: It is only Monday morning and getting this much information and rumors is highly unusual. Stay calm…getting this many rumors at once makes vetting difficult…..so stay calm. Its odd that so many groups were told QFS releases tomorrow…and other groups were told when the QFS is live – that when they get to go…..and QFS is expected to go tomorrow…..guess we will see…..just stay calm
Member: There was so much that was prerequisite to the RV. Drip, drip, drip, flood! You are seeing it. It's all good!
Member: I wonder- does the QFS and the asset backed $ have to be announce publicly together before the RV?
MZ: I still think it will go about the same time
Member: Maliki back out this morning saying he absolutely will NOT withdraw!
Member: WHY?? Did Sudani not revalue the IDQ before the election???
MZ: “ After Tom Barack’s visit to Baghdad- did Al Sudani get the green light for a second term?” The US is definitely pushing. Evven Suadi Arabia is pushing and sent a message against Maliki’s return and is pushing for a return of Al-Sudani.
MZ: There is a lot happening this morning in Iraqi politics. We may see the end of Maliki’s political career this week….at least for now.
Member: If HCL is approved this week…will the RV immediately or wait a couple weeks or months?
MZ: I would say just days after the HCL is approved.
Member: US forces begin the largest withdrawal from northern Syria towards Iraqi Kurdistan
MZ: They are moving out- at least 100 trucks,….accompanied by air support. Some very interesting movements. Are we re-positioning these troops because of Iran? Or do we not care about Syria anymore? I think there is something deeper in these troop movements that happened all of a sudden.
Member: Mark- Friend of a friend stationed in Iraq says they are on the move and will be out of contact for 2 months
MZ: In Iraq “Central bank warns of fraud in various bank notes “ This is very interesting. They are claiming almost all the bolivar there ..they are getting inundated by bills that don’t even exist. Iraq is getting an influx of fake Venezuelan bills being sold to Iraqis.
MZ: A person on the ground in Venezuela says they had a conversation with a friend of his wife. He has high knowledge what is happening there in banking in general. He claims starting in Mrch there will only be 2 types of money in Venezuela and that they are transitioning their money. They will use US money and the new Venezuelan money….and they will be worth 1 to 1. So that is the new bolivar….nobody panic …we are watching and trying to find answers on the bolivar a lot of hold right now.
MZ: They may be handling this like Kuwait and Iraq did it. They got rid of their old currency and the new rate applies to the new currency. Kuwait did that. Iraq did that with the old Sadaam Hussein bills. Now the important part for us….if they do this…how do we exchange the old venezulan currency for the new Venezuelan dollars? There are a lot of rumors. I will let yu know what we find out when I know…..we are chasing it.
MZ: It is possible we will have to change our old bolivar for the new Venezuelan dollar…..and then exchange it for USD or whatever your national currency is at the reset.
Member; Will we have to go to Venezuelan to exchange or can we do it here in the US?
MZ: No part of me thinks any of us will have to go to Venezuela to exchange. Its possible we will be able to exchange the old bolivar for SKR’s (safe keeping receipts) or deposit it digitally . Like in a multi currency account. That would not surprise me.
Member: I believe President Trump has a State of the union speech tomorrow night.
Member: President Trump says Supreme Court "accidentally and unwittingly" gave him more power after tariffs ruling. It's all very good!
Member: “Tarriff 232” might be “Plan B” that switches the value of our currency. Bessent mentioned this .
MZ: it very much could be.
Member: Alien disclosures, cartel wars, Iran strike, Epstein files. Other than that should be a pretty slow week in the news lol
Member: Fingers crossed this is our big week……stay safe and warm everyone.
