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.

The global financial landscape is currently undergoing a period of profound transformation. As traditional systems face unprecedented scrutiny, new discussions are emerging regarding the potential for a more transparent, technology-driven economic future.

 A recent, insightful discussion hosted by John Michael, featuring experts John Dowling and Rob, delves into these complex shifts, exploring how emerging technologies and geopolitical realignments are shaping the next chapter of global commerce.

At the heart of this conversation is the potential transition toward a new monetary order.

The experts explore the idea of moving away from historical fiscal models toward a system anchored by sound money and enhanced by blockchain technology.

By leveraging decentralized ledgers—specifically highlighting the efficiency of the XRP ledger—the discussion suggests a future where peer-to-peer transactions become more direct, potentially reducing the need for traditional intermediaries and the associated fees that have long characterized global finance.

The dialogue also touches upon significant structural changes within government financial institutions. The contributors discuss potential shifts in leadership and legislative initiatives, such as the Clarity Act, which reflect a growing focus on accountability and transparency.

There is a strong emphasis on the objective of creating a more streamlined economic environment where federal tax structures are re-evaluated, and fiscal resources are directed more effectively toward public utility and sovereign prosperity.

Geopolitically, the experts point toward an era characterized by increased international cooperation. By moving away from historical friction and toward a more interoperable, asset-backed digital infrastructure, the discussion posits that nations may find a new common ground.

While the transition may involve periods of market adjustment, the participants remain optimistic about the move toward a system backed by tangible assets like gold and silver, combined with the verifiable nature of blockchain technology.

Ultimately, this shift represents a move toward greater individual sovereignty and financial clarity. As these historic changes unfold, the experts encourage viewers to prioritize financial literacy and take an active role in understanding decentralized asset custody.

 For those interested in a deeper dive into these economic theories and the potential for a new era of global finance, the full commentary from Jon Dowling offers a comprehensive look at the road ahead. Staying informed is the first step toward navigating the evolving global economy with confidence.

Rob Cunningham: The New Financial Order

5-19-2026

They mocked the internet before it became civilization’s nervous system.

They mocked Bitcoin before it became digital scarcity.

They mock XRP because they still think money is the product.

Money was never the product.

• Settlement is the product.
• Liquidity is the product.
• Interoperability is the product.
• Trustless verification is the product.

The world is not tokenizing memes.

It is tokenizing EVERYTHING.

And when every asset, currency, commodity, security, invoice, bond and payment moves across interoperable XRPL rails in real time, one question matters:

What neutral asset bridges value between all of them without counterparty risk?

That is the entire game.

Most people are trading candles.

A few are studying infrastructure.

Apocalypse simply means ‘the unveiling.’

And the unveiling is this:

The old world ran on opaque debt.

The new world runs on transparent liquidity.

XRP for “all the money.”

Ross: The Stage is Set for the Financial Reset

5-19-2026

You should be grateful.

You’re one of the tiny handful of blessed souls on Earth who’s actually going to enjoy the utter chaos that’s about to unfold.

The world is going to panic.

You?

You’ve been waiting for this moment for years.

We’ve finally reached the turning point.

Cherish it.

Enjoy the show.

One day you’ll look back on this chapter and wish you’d been a little less stressed… and a lot more present.

Haven’t you noticed how everything you worry about always turns out nowhere near your worst fears — even in the most mind-crushing moments?

Everything will work out.

Remember, chaos is the catalyst.

Fascinating convergence that markets are sliding into chaos with cash positions swelling, catalyzed by the unwinding of Japan’s massive yen carry trade as interest rate differentials shift and liquidity tightens.

This initial shock arrives at the exact moment long-awaited crypto regulations are poised to unlock trillions sitting on the sidelines — perfectly timed with the DTCC launching tokenization in July and the SEC preparing to greenlight tokenized stock trading.

Japan’s situation isn’t just background pressure. It may be the first domino. As leveraged yen-funded positions unwind, institutions are increasingly turning to efficient, real-world settlement rails.

With deep infrastructure already in place through SBI and Ripple’s long-standing partnership, this liquidity event could accelerate XRP mass adoption as the bridge asset of choice for cross-border flows amid the turbulence.

The stage is set for the financial reset.

You should be on the edge of your seat with excitement.

It’s finally time.

Jon Dowling & Mark Z Discuss New Developments in the Greatest Wealth Transfer

5-18-2026

We are currently living through a period of profound global transformation. As geopolitical tensions rise and traditional financial frameworks begin to show signs of strain, many observers are turning their attention toward the concept of a “global financial reset.”

A recent podcast featuring Jon Dowling provides a detailed look at how these massive shifts—ranging from international policy changes to the evolution of digital assets—are actively reshaping our world today

A central theme of the discussion is the shifting power dynamics within the Middle East and beyond. The hosts examine the complex interactions between major world powers, including the United States, China, Russia, and Israel.

By analyzing recent developments—such as changes in leadership within Iraq and the tentative lifting of certain sanctions on Iran—the conversation highlights how these regional adjustments are not isolated events. Instead, they appear to be part of a larger, systemic transition that could redefine global influence, with some experts theorizing about the emergence of a regional pivot toward historical spheres of influence.

Beyond geopolitics, the podcast addresses the anticipated “great wealth transfer” and the transition away from traditional fiat currency systems.

As the world moves toward asset-backed digital currencies, the hosts emphasize that we are witnessing a fundamental change in how value is stored and exchanged.

The discussion touches upon significant milestones, such as Iraq’s digital currency rollout and the ongoing conversations surrounding a potential return to the gold standard, often cited in discussions regarding revitalizing the U.S. economy. For those looking to understand these developments, the conversation offers a unique look at why strategic positioning is becoming increasingly vital.

Perhaps the most crucial takeaway from the discussion is the importance of mental and practical readiness. The speakers lean into the idea that these transitions are not just financial, but have moral and humanitarian dimensions.

By encouraging listeners to remain resilient and informed, the podcast highlights that preparation is key to navigating the weeks and months ahead. Whether it is through understanding the mechanics of an overhauled banking system or recognizing the shifts in global trade, being proactive is stressed as a necessary step for those looking to stay ahead of the curve.

The rapidly evolving financial landscape can feel overwhelming, but staying informed is the first step toward effective planning. As the world undergoes this period of adjustment, it is essential to look at the data, observe the markers, and consider how these changes apply to your own personal strategy.

For those seeking a deeper understanding of these complex topics and practical insights into how to navigate this changing landscape, we encourage you to watch the full video from Jon Dowling. Staying connected to expert analysis is an invaluable tool in ensuring you are prepared for whatever comes next in our global economy.

Majeed KSA: What Iraq has Already Achieved

5-18-2026

You must read this

Here is how the banking reform is done in Iraq.

What Iraq has already achieved.

Over the last decade, Iraq moved from an almost entirely cash-based and loosely controlled banking environment toward a more internationally supervised system.

Major progress includes:

• Electronic payment expansion
• Salary localization into bank accounts
• Stronger AML/CFT (anti-money laundering) rules
• Integration with SWIFT/global payment systems
• Restrictions on c*****t dollar transfers
• Bank audits and restructuring
• Financial inclusion growth
• ATM and bank card expansion
• Preparation for digital banking and possibly a digital dinar

The biggest turning point came after the U.S. Federal Reserve and Treasury forced Iraq to tighten dollar-transfer controls beginning around 2022–2023. That pressure effectively forced Iraq to modernize its banking oversight.

In 2025–2026, the Central Bank of Iraq launched what it openly called a “comprehensive reform project” with consulting firm Oliver Wyman.

That is one of the clearest signs that Iraq has moved from talking about reform to actually restructuring the banking sector.

The key point is this:

Iraq is no longer in the “planning only” phase.

It is now in the implementation and enforcement phase of reform. That is a major difference from most of the last decade.

Today CBI article May 17, 2026

The Central Bank of Iraq met with electronic payment companies to improve digital banking, strengthen regulations, modernize financial infrastructure, and enforce international compliance standards. The meeting shows Iraq is actively pushing toward a safer digital economy, stronger financial oversight, and broader banking reform implementation.

This article tells you:

This article suggests Iraq is now focused on:

• modernizing the payment infrastructure
• formalizing money movement
• tightening oversight
• reducing cash dependence,
• digitizing the economy and integrating into the global financial system.

That is exactly what a country in the implementation phase looks like.

So this article actually reinforces the earlier conclusion:

Iraq is no longer mainly discussing reform, it is actively restructuring parts of the banking system in real time.

Thom  Question: "Is there any information on the estimated price of IQD and VND?" I think IQD will be over $3.22 (likely over $4 imo), and VND will likely be a float (a very fast moving float when it goes). My opinions based and what I have researched.

Jeff   As long as the US Treasury has removed Iraq from their OFAC sanctions list then all the banks within the United States will start exchanging the dinar.  IMO when Iraq revalues the US Treasury will remove Iraq from the OFAC sanctions list at the same time.

Boot-On-The-Ground Guru Omar  On the television we have our prime minister Zaidi.  He said we're going to start the next phase.  We will see the launch of a "comprehensive economic and financial reform program" that will strengthen our national partnership and focus on improving services and fighting corruption...He said financial reforms can lead to giving the dinar more real value.  But he said only if Iraq actually executes the deeper structural monetary reform behind the scenes...The type of reforms Zaidi is talking to us about are the same one that required before any currency can strengthen. 

IQD News Update: Why the KWD Reinstated But the IQD Has Not

Edu Matrix:  5-18-2026

In this video, we explain one of the biggest misunderstandings in the IQD investment community. Many investors compare the Iraqi Dinar to what happened to Kuwait after the Gulf War, but the two situations are completely different.

The Kuwaiti Dinar was already internationally recognized and openly traded on global FOREX markets before Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990.

After liberation, Kuwait’s banking system and currency simply returned to their previous internationally recognized value.

The Iraqi Dinar is different. The modern IQD was created after the 2003 war and has remained a heavily managed domestic currency controlled by the Central Bank of Iraq. Unlike the Kuwaiti Dinar, the IQD has never freely traded on the open international FOREX market.

In this video we discuss:

• Why Kuwait’s currency recovered

• What “reinstatement” really means

• Why the IQD is considered a closed currency

• The role of the Central Bank of Iraq

• Why there is no true global market price for the IQD

• The difference between speculation and international currency trading

Rob Cunningham: Our World will Soon See Changes

5-17-2026

Central Bank Death 101

Our world soon changes like this:

Taxation stops feeding debt machinery.
Labor, gains, and productive energy no longer get harvested primarily to service interest on money created by middlemen.

Money becomes measurement again.
Currency shifts from manipulated debt instruments toward honest weights and measures: scarce, auditable, rules-based, redeemable, or transparently issued.

Sovereignty returns to nations and people.
Governments no longer rent their monetary authority from private banking structures. Citizens no longer live under hidden tribute systems disguised as public finance.

Inflation loses its primary engine.
If money is no longer endlessly loaned into existence with compounding interest, purchasing power stops being quietly siphoned through currency debasement.

Productive work is rewarded more honestly.
Labor, savings, entrepreneurship, farming, building, invention, and risk-taking gain value relative to financial engineering.

Wars become harder to finance.
Without debt-note expansion and central-bank credit creation, governments must directly justify spending to the people instead of hiding costs through inflation and borrowing.

Markets become less rigged.
Capital allocation shifts away from privileged insiders closest to the money spigot and toward real utility, real collateral, real productivity, and real demand.

Real assets regain moral gravity.
Gold, land, energy, food, infrastructure, productive companies, and verifiable digital settlement networks become more important than paper claims and synthetic leverage.

Public ledgers matter more.
Transparent settlement systems, atomic exchange, cryptographic proof, and neutral interoperability become civilization-grade tools because they reduce the need for trusted middlemen.

Humanity exits monetary adolescence.
The spell breaks: people recognize that money is not supposed to be a control weapon. It is supposed to be a truthful coordination tool.

Bottom line:

When middleman central bankers no longer sit between human labor and human value, the world moves from debt-based control toward truth-based exchange.

From extraction to stewardship.
From hidden tribute to visible accounting.
From artificial scarcity to lawful abundance.
From financial priesthoods to sovereign participation.

Ross: The Major Prerequisite for the IQD to Achieve Stability to Revalue

5-17-2026

Iraq is on track to not only diversify away from just oil but diversify the oil flow itself.

The Strait of Hormuz is directly tied to Iran and this economic vulnerability being solved was always a MAJOR prerequisite to IQD achieving the stability to revalue.

You are going to witness unstoppable progress from here on.

Zoom News:  Iraq exported 10 million barrels of oil via the Strait of Hormuz in April, sharply down from about 93 million barrels monthly before the Iran war, the country’s new Oil Minister Basim Mohammed said on Saturday. Speaking at his first press conference, Mohammed said Iraq currently exports 200,000 barrels per day through Kurdistan Region pipeline to Turkey’s Ceyhan port, with plans to increase the volume to 500,000 bpd.

Prime Minister Al-Zaidi’s very first decision in office was to meet with the Minister of Finance and the CBI Governor.

That single move tells you everything you need to know about what’s coming next for your IQD investment.

Jeff   Now that Iraq has competed the formation of their government and sworn them in, now that the Clarity Act finally got approved because the rate change is right here in front of us...The rate change is 100% done and ready to go.  It's going to come reasonably quick.

Militia Man  Government is one, the banking is two and they work in conjunction but they're independent.  The Central Bank of Iraq is independent.  Keep that in mind at all times because that's a fact.

Stephen It's been a very exciting week.  A lot has happened in Iraq.  We have a government formation, which I didn't think was going to happen this week.  I thought they were going to push it out probably till June, which has been the case every single year for the last 23 years.  There's exciting things going on...This is the most movement, the most amount of things happening, I have ever seen.  It's exciting to be watching this in real time.

Warsh takes the Fed chair on 15 May and immediately signals aggressive balance-sheet shrinkage plus revised Treasury-Fed Accord.

This forces real yield discipline and ends the post-2008 free-money spigot that funded black budgets and extraction.

Rate cuts follow under controlled conditions, injecting liquidity into the new rails instead of legacy asset bubbles.

CLARITY Act advances out of Senate Banking (already marked up bipartisan) and hits floor vote by late May/early June. ISO-20022 + XRPL/RLUSD bridges go live.

Suppressed currency corridors unlock in sequence: Venezuela’s forex-aligned wage mechanics (May 1 test) expand, Iraq’s post-cabinet HCL passage (partial cabinet seated 14 May under Ali al-Zaidi) opens dinar bridge flows by June.

Tokenized assets (BlackRock DNA/identity plays included) migrate on-chain.

Shock: Visible citizen-level gains higher real wages in reshoring states (Texas, California, Midwest ag), export surges to China post-summit, and revaluation payoffs hitting accounts.

The old inflation tax reverses. People feel actual purchasing power return for the first time in decades.

Gold continues record climbs as central banks and smart money (Lauder/Warsh circles) re-anchor.

The wealth that was extracted flows back visibly.

Thom There is more traction on both the IQD and VND since both of these nations elected new Prime Ministers, both of which are former Bankers. And it is moving faster than I have ever seen.

Reset Intelligence  Yesterday, Baghdad swore in 14 ministers in a single chamber session...Al-Zaidi is 40, the youngest premier Iraq has had, and Trump personally intervened in April to block former PM Nouri al-Maliki's run at the seat...9 of the 23 posts remain unfilled and the security-facing ministries are among them...Half of the cabinet that runs the  economy is in place. The other half that defends Babylon isn't...Within hours of the vote, US Special Envoy Tom Barrack posted that Washington stands ready to work with the new government on "the elimination of terrorism."

Frank26 Do we have a fully seated governmentNo. Do we have a majority vote for a seated a government Yes...You need a fully seated government to pass the laws.  You still have a "caretaker" government.  That's not the goal.  That's not what we want.  We're getting there.  I'm happy with what happened but I want more.
