Ariel: 1:1 Would be the Start

How Many Times Have I Told You All That 1:1 Would Be The Start?
Ask yourself if that is what they come out the gate with what could it potentially float to?
And we know 3 months is a bureaucratic timeline. Meaning you can expect it sooner based on Iran (75%) complete. And the CLARITY Act.
MajeedKSA: @MazinAlEshaiker on Iraq TV yesterday Said “ I have met with the federal reserve and I told them about pegging the Iraqi dinar into US dollar, meaning 1:1 and they agreed that it is a smart idea and they will do that in 3 months” I don’t know when he met with them so we can know when the 3 months would expire

Jeff The whole reason the central bank has not allowed Iraq to revalue is simply because of the political corruption. The political corruption has been the delay of the rate change this entire time. The #1 delay. That's the reason...That's why the banking reforms are coming forward after the rate changes...They have 150+ laws. The HCL is one of the 150. The new 2026 budget is one of the 150 laws. All of these 150+ laws are coming forward after the rate changes...
Stephen They're being as transparent as I've ever seen before. Iraq has never been a truthful country. They have always lied about what they're doing. You know, one week the USA is saying we're withholding dollars from them. Iraq says, no, that's not true. And then the following day it comes out, oh, it's true...But now the USA is directly involved. The Trump administration is directly involved and controlling what they do. It's nothing short of exciting. If you're a dinar investor then I'm hoping You are excited too.
Thom Question: "IF the value is "low" (1:1 or anything < ~$3), would you go ahead & exchange, or do you see any benefit in waiting a short period? I don't want to be anxious & exchange low then it increases in days." Thom: It depends. The CBI and other Arab nations have a history of making an announcement of a new rate and then later that day it is effective immediately. Iraq has already done this a handful of times. So, when IQD goes, I am going the first chance I get. [Dinar Guru Note: Consult your financial and asset protection advisors to determine the ideal exchange strategy for your unique circumstances.]
THE BIGGEST WEALTH TRANSFER IN HISTORY
GoldSwitzerland by Von Greyerz and Investor Talk: 5-20-2026
Why does Egon believe paper assets could lose 90–95% against gold?
In this interview, Egon von Greyerz and Jan Kneist (of Investor Talk) discuss the growing gap between financial assets and real assets like gold and silver.
Egon explains why weak state finances and inflated stock markets could bring a big shift back into physical assets (something he believes has already started).
He also shares why he sees gold as long-term wealth preservation rather than speculation.
