Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
RETROACTIVE SOCIAL SECURITY PAYMENTS BEGIN, WHEN TO EXPECT THEM?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has made remarkable progress in distributing retroactive payments to those impacted by the Social Security Fairness Act.
This pivotal legislation, passed at the end of 2024, repeals two controversial provisions—the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO). These provisions had long been criticized for reducing or eliminating benefits for certain public sector workers, including firefighters, police officers, and teachers.
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
RETROACTIVE SOCIAL SECURITY PAYMENTS BEGIN, WHEN TO EXPECT THEM?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has made remarkable progress in distributing retroactive payments to those impacted by the Social Security Fairness Act.
This pivotal legislation, passed at the end of 2024, repeals two controversial provisions—the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO). These provisions had long been criticized for reducing or eliminating benefits for certain public sector workers, including firefighters, police officers, and teachers.
According to the SSA, over $7.5 billion has already been distributed to more than 1.1 million eligible beneficiaries.
The average retroactive payment stands at $6,710, compensating for benefits that would have been issued in 2024 had the law been enacted earlier. Initially, the agency estimated that processing these increased monthly payments and retroactive sums could take over a year. However, recent updates suggest that the majority of cases have been expedited.
Who will receive these payments and when? The SSA is actively adjusting the monthly benefits for affected recipients, with updated payments expected to be reflected in the April 2025 disbursement. Those who have not yet received their retroactive payment are advised to wait until April before contacting the SSA for further inquiries.
To determine eligibility for increased benefits, the SSA will be sending official notices by mail to affected individuals in the coming weeks. It is estimated that up to 3.2 million Americans will benefit from the changes introduced by the Social Security Fairness Act. However, some individuals may need to take action to ensure they receive their due benefits.
Individuals who are unsure whether they previously applied for retirement, spousal, or survivor benefits, or those who never applied due to WEP or GPO restrictions, should consider taking action. The SSA recommends submitting an application online or by phone at 1-800-772-1213 (Monday–Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM ET). When prompted, say “Fairness Act” to be connected with a trained representative.
How much will monthly payments increase? A September 2024 estimate by the Congressional Budget Office projected significant increases. Social Security beneficiaries previously impacted by the WEP will see an average increase of $360 per month. Those affected by the GPO could receive between $700 and $1,190 extra per month.
These adjustments represent a historic shift for millions of retired public sector employees, ensuring they receive the benefits they were previously denied. This change marks a new era of fairness and equity in the distribution of Social Security benefits.
For further details, beneficiaries should refer to their official SSA notices or check the agency’s website for updates. The SSA is committed to ensuring that all eligible individuals receive the benefits they deserve under the new legislation.

TRUMP SET TO SIGN EXECUTIVE ORDER REVERSING BIDEN’S CRYPTO BANKING RESTRICTIONS
President Donald Trump is all set to sign an executive order targeting Biden administration policies that have made it hard for crypto companies to access banking services. The order is expected to target policies under “Operation Chokepoint 2.0,” which seeks to roll back these restrictions and support the crypto industry.
Bo Hines, Executive Director of the White House’s Presidential Working Group on Digital Assets, confirmed that administrative action is coming but didn’t provide details. He mentioned that the industry can expect something soon.
Hines also emphasized that the Trump administration aims to end practices linked to “Operation Chokepoint 2.0,” a term coined by Nic Carter, which refers to efforts similar to the Obama-era Operation Choke Point that targeted payday lenders and gun dealers.
Trump’s Executive Order Could Open Fed Access to Crypto Banks
While details of Trump’s executive order are still being finalized, it could impact Federal Reserve policies on master accounts. These accounts, held by federally chartered banks, are essential for making direct payments and accessing the Fed’s services. Under the Biden administration, the Fed denied master accounts to crypto-focused banks like Custodia, hindering their growth.
Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett remarked that this is significant because the Federal Reserve and the FDIC have not yet reversed any anti-crypto policies, even though Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell mentioned last month that he was concerned by the increasing number of crypto debanking cases and that the Fed would “take a fresh look” at the issue.
Trump Administration Pushes Forward Despite Challenges
While the Federal Reserve operates independently from the White House, the Trump administration is pushing forward with its crypto order, despite potential legal hurdles. Sources note that senior White House officials are set to meet Thursday to assess possible challenges before putting the order on Trump’s desk.
However, a White House official denied any such meeting is scheduled but confirmed that efforts to roll back Operation Chokepoint 2.0 are already in motion. The race to reshape crypto policy is heating up, and all eyes are on what comes next.
Directive on Stablecoins?
The upcoming executive order could extend beyond banking, and might include a directive stating that stablecoins, which are designed to maintain a stable value and are typically pegged to the U.S. dollar, should not be classified as securities.
If Trump signs this order, it would be his third crypto-related executive action since returning to office. The first, signed on January 23, created a Presidential Working Group on Digital Asset Markets. The second, signed last week, ordered the establishment of a U.S. government Bitcoin reserve and a separate stockpile for other digital assets.
Bitcoin Dips Despite The Developments
Trump’s recent Crypto Summit disappointed industry leaders, with his Bitcoin reserve plan failing to boost the market as the administration plans to use seized assets. Broader economic policies, including tariffs on China and others, have also shaken markets. As a result, institutional investors pulled funds from Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, causing Bitcoin to fall below $80,000 for the first time in 4 months and Ethereum to drop to $1,870.

THAILAND’S SEC JUST APPROVED USDT & USDC, ALONGSIDE BITCOIN & ETHEREUM AS APPROVED TOKENS!
▪Thailand’s SEC approves USDT and USDC for trading on licensed crypto exchanges.
▪Stablecoins join Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Stellar in Thailand’s approved crypto list.
▪New rules effective March 16 boost crypto trading and adoption in Thailand.
▪Tether faces transparency scrutiny despite $142 billion market cap and growing demand.
Thailand’s financial regulator, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), has expanded its list of approved cryptocurrencies. The country has now allowed the use of Tether (USDT) and Circle’s USD Coin (USDC) on licensed digital asset exchanges. This decision follows a growing demand for stablecoins in crypto trading and payments worldwide.
Thailand Regulator Adds USDC, USDT Stablecoins
With this approval, Thailand opens its doors to stablecoins, a crucial part of the global crypto market. Stablecoins like USDT and USDC are widely used for trading, payments, and remittances due to their price stability.
By adding USDT and USDC to its list of approved cryptocurrencies, alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Stellar, Thailand is expanding its digital asset ecosystem. This move not only enhances trading opportunities but also strengthens Thailand’s position as a growing hub for crypto adoption in Asia.
The new regulations, set to take effect on March 16, will allow licensed exchanges to list and trade these stablecoins, making it easier for investors and traders to move funds within the crypto ecosystem.
Thailand Aligns with Global Crypto Trends
The decision to approve USDT and USDC comes after a public consultation held in February, where most participants supported the idea. Across regions like Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America, stablecoins have gained popularity due to their reliability and ease of use in transactions.
Tether alone contributes to around 40% of the total trading activity in the country. As of now, USDT holds a massive $142 billion market capitalization, while USDC follows with $58 billion.
Push for Transparency
The approval of Tether’s stablecoin comes at a time when the company is facing scrutiny over its financial transparency. Just last week, the company appointed Simon McWilliams as its Chief Financial Officer to address concerns regarding its financial audits.
The company has been publishing quarterly reports verified by BDO Italy, but some critics argue that a full financial audit is needed. Following the 2022 market crash, the crypto industry has pushed for more transparency.

The Central Bank of Iraq explains the mechanism for publishing data on the sale and purchase of foreign currencies from the daily bulletin to the monthly report, which will include:
- Total enhancement of bank balances abroad.
- Settlements of electronic payments abroad.
- Cash sales.
The bank confirms that this decision came in conjunction with the transition from the electronic platform mechanisms to the mechanisms for enhancing the balances of authorized Iraqi banks with correspondent banks, and that the process of enhancing banks does not reflect the daily sales of bank customers until the operations are actually realized.
It draws attention to the Central Bank of Iraq's possession of sufficient foreign reserves to meet all official requests for foreign currency, which enhances confidence in the national currency.
Noting that the report scheduled to be published next month will include details of external transfer operations
in terms of (amounts, the most prominent imported goods and materials, the most prominent countries from which they were imported.

Tishwash: Disagreements paralyze the Iraqi parliament in Ramadan...the boycott continues
Independent Iraqi parliament member Jawad al-Yasari said on Tuesday that the parliament session will not be held due to the continued boycott of the sessions by most of the representatives, in protest against the failure to include the service and retirement law for the Popular Mobilization Authority on the agenda .
Al-Yasari told Shafaq News Agency, "The indicators confirm that the parliament session for today, Tuesday, will not be held, as happened in previous sessions, due to the continued boycott of most of the representatives, especially from the Coordination Framework blocs, of the sessions in protest against the failure to put the service and retirement law of the Popular Mobilization Authority to a vote."
He added, "Holding a parliament session during the month of Ramadan seems difficult in light of the ongoing political disputes and conflicts, which means that the sessions will remain suspended until after the Eid al-Fitr holiday, until an agreement is reached between the political parties on passing the law."
The Iraqi Parliament is expected to hold its regular session today, with the agenda including several topics, including voting on the draft law amending the fourth amendment to the Industrial Investment Law for the Private and Mixed Sectors No. 20 of 1998, in addition to voting on a decision to recommend to the Ministry of Education to reinstate the trial system .
The Council is also scheduled to discuss the report of the interim parliamentary committee to follow up on the preservation of state property, the first reading of the draft law to cancel the law ratifying the agreement exempting holders of diplomatic and service passports from entry visas between Iraq and Cyprus, and the first reading of the proposed law amending the second law of the Mukhtars Law No. 13 of 2011 .
The agenda also includes a report and discussion of the second reading of the proposed fourth amendment to Law No. 6 of 2000 on the Progression of Medical and Health Professionals .
It is noteworthy that the independent MP, Hussein Al-Saabari, revealed to Shafaq News Agency, last Sunday, that there is a tendency to dissolve the Iraqi Parliament and go to early elections, in the event that its sessions continue to be disrupted .
The House of Representatives is witnessing a continuous disruption of its sessions, due to the lack of a legal quorum to hold them, despite announcing the agenda and setting the date of the session . link

Tishwash: The Ministerial Council discusses the completion of the budget schedules and developments in the oil market locally and globally
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Fuad Hussein chaired the eighth session of the Ministerial Council for the Economy today, Monday, to discuss completing the budget schedules and developments in the oil market locally and globally.

UTAH’S SENATE PASSES BITCOIN BILL — BUT SCRAPS KEY PROVISION

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,
UTAH’S SENATE PASSES BITCOIN BILL — BUT SCRAPS KEY PROVISION
Utah lawmakers have passed a Bitcoin bill after amending it to remove a section that would have authorized the state treasurer to invest in Bitcoin.
Utah’s Bitcoin bill has passed the state Senate, but without its cornerstone, a clause that would have made it the first US state with its own Bitcoin reserve.
The HB230 “Blockchain and Digital Innovation Amendments” bill now only provides Utah citizens with basic custody protections, the right to mine Bitcoin, run a node and participate in staking, among other things.
The 19-7-3 vote to pass the measure on March 7 means the bill is now headed to Utah Governor Spencer Cox’s desk to be signed into law.
The reserve clause would have authorized Utah’s treasurer to invest up to 5% of digital assets with a market cap above $500 billion over the last calendar year in five state accounts — with Bitcoin as the only digital asset that currently meets this criteria.
The reserve clause passed the second reading but was scrapped in the third and final reading. Utah’s House then concurred with the amendment in a 52-19-4 vote.
“There was a lot of concern with those provisions and the early adoption of these types of policies,” one of the bill’s sponsors, Senator Kirk A. Cullimore, said in Utah’s March 7 floor session.
“All of that has been stripped out of the bill."
Up until March 7, Utah looked likely to become the first US state to adopt a Bitcoin reserve, Satoshi Action Fund’s CEO Dennis Porter predicted on Feb. 2.
Two Arizona Bitcoin reserve bills and a Texas bill are now the closest to being passed into law, Bitcoin Laws data shows. Each of those bills obtained a successful vote in their respective Senate committees and is now awaiting a final floor vote in the Senate.
Of the 31 Bitcoin reserve state bills introduced, 25 remain live, including bills from Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio and Oklahoma.
Bills from the likes of Pennsylvania, Montana, Kentucky and North Dakota have failed.

EL SALVADOR CONTINUES ACCUMULATING BITCOIN AND NOW HOLDS 6,111 BTC DESPITE IMF PRESSURE
▪The Central American nation acquired an additional 6 BTC on Sunday, boosting its total holdings to 6,111.18 BTC.
▪The country agreed to scale back the public sector’s bitcoin activities in a deal with the IMF for a $1.4 billion loan.
El Salvador continues to acquire bitcoin despite its deal with the International Monetary Fund to curb its bitcoin acquisition.
The Central American nation purchased an additional 6 BTC on Sunday, expanding its total bitcoin holdings to 6,111.18 BTC, worth about $504 million at current market prices, compared to 6,072 BTC on Feb. 9, according to the country's Bitcoin Office.
In December, El Salvador reached a deal with the IMF for a $1.4 billion loan, with the total package expected to be over $3.5 billion, and agreed to scale back its bitcoin engagement in exchange for the financing. Then, in January, the country's Legislative Assembly approved a bill to comply with the IMF requirements set out in the deal, according to Reuters.
On March 3, the IMF released a new document outlining conditions as part of the extended arrangement for its fund facility to El Salvador.
"Going forward, program commitments will confine government engagement in Bitcoin-related economic activities, as well as government transactions in and purchases of Bitcoin," said Nigel Clarke, deputy managing director of the IMF, in the document.
El Salvador's strategic reserve, however, continued to accumulate bitcoin. El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said last week that the country will not stop purchasing bitcoin. "No, it's not stopping," Bukele said in an X post on March 5. "If it didn’t stop when the world ostracized us and most 'bitcoiners' abandoned us, it won’t stop now, and it won’t stop in the future."

Can Tariffs Replace the Income Tax? We Did the Math
Can Tariffs Replace the Income Tax? We Did the Math
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) March 10, 2025
It was the dead of night on March 22, 1929 somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico near the port of New Orleans, and the Canadian schooner I’m Alone was waiting to offload its illegal rum.
Prohibition had been in effect in the United States for nearly a decade at that point, which meant that the production, sale, transport, and distribution of any “intoxicating liquors” carried severe criminal penalties.
But prohibition didn’t end alcohol consumption. Americans still imbibed in secret thanks to a vast network of speakeasies, bootleggers, rum-runners, and moonshine distilleries. The black market thrived
Can Tariffs Replace the Income Tax? We Did the Math
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) March 10, 2025
It was the dead of night on March 22, 1929 somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico near the port of New Orleans, and the Canadian schooner I’m Alone was waiting to offload its illegal rum.
Prohibition had been in effect in the United States for nearly a decade at that point, which meant that the production, sale, transport, and distribution of any “intoxicating liquors” carried severe criminal penalties.
But prohibition didn’t end alcohol consumption. Americans still imbibed in secret thanks to a vast network of speakeasies, bootleggers, rum-runners, and moonshine distilleries. The black market thrived
I’m Alone was one of the vessels that would ferry alcohol back-and-forth between the Caribbean and the United States. Ordinarily it would linger in international waters, just beyond the legal jurisdiction of US authorities, while smaller speedboats smuggled its cargo of illegal booze to the shore.
But on that fateful night in the spring of 1929, the US Coast Guard was feeling a little overzealous. Officials pursued I’m Alone into international waters and intercepted it.
I’m Alone’s captain refused to surrender, and a midnight chase ensued. The Coast Guard ended up shelling them with explosives, and the ship sank. One crew member drowned, and the rest were taken into custody.
The problem, of course, was that I'm Alone was a Canadian vessel in international waters. So the fact that it had been shelled and sunk by the United States Coast Guard sparked an international dispute between the US and Canada.
After years of diplomatic wrangling, an international tribunal ultimately ruled in favor of Canada, determining that the US had overstepped its legal authority. The case resulted in a financial settlement, with a sum paid to the Captain, as well as the drowned sailor’s widow.
Prohibition finally ended in 1933... but the damage had been done. Consumer demand for alcoholic beverages never went away, so all Prohibition really managed to do was create an extremely lucrative black market for booze... thus turning small-time bootleggers into powerful, nationwide crime syndicates.
(Many of the most infamous criminals of the early 20th century, like Al Capone, made vast fortunes in bootlegging, or even got their start in it.)
Such unintended consequences are inevitable any time a government imposes nationwide prohibition... or imposes some crazy tax policy or regulatory burden: people always figure out a way around it.
There are places all over the world that have extremely high import duties, and you can see the results.
For example, I lived in Uruguay long ago, and, at least at the time, the country had some of the highest import duties in the world for automobiles. I remember a friend told me that he had paid $100,000 for a generic Ford F150 that should have cost around $20,000 (it was back in 2008).
Yet there was a flourishing industry of guys who figured out how to game the system, and bring in cars from nearby countries like Brazil or Paraguay without having to pay the insane import duties on motor vehicles. People figured out a way to avoid the tax.
Then there is India, which has imposed very high import duties on a variety of goods— including gold. Smugglers there have gone as far as shoving gold into their rectums in order to avoid the tax... proving not only that people will always figure out a way, but they’ll resort to the most ridiculous means necessary.
Or look at Thailand, where drug trafficking can carry the death penalty— yet you can still buy pot and cocaine just about anywhere. The threat of consequences doesn’t matter: people will still skirt the rules.
I say this all because there is obviously a big movement in the US towards tariffs now. Somehow this word has become “beautiful”. And there seems to be an idea that the US is going to generate so much revenue from tariffs that it could even replace the income tax.
Fat chance. Let’s do the math on that...
Individual income tax is the largest source of federal revenue in the United States, bringing in $2.4 trillion in FY 2024 according to Treasury data.
Meanwhile, total imports of goods into the US in 2024 was $3.3 trillion.
This means that, in order for tariffs to generate enough revenue to replace the $2.4 trillion in income tax, the tariff rate would have to be 73% across the board (i.e. 73% x $3.3 trillion in imports = $2.4 trillion in revenue).
Let’s be honest— there’s no way people will accept 73% tariffs. Just like during Prohibition, the black market would once again thrive in the United States as bootleggers smuggle in illegal... you know, toilet paper and other boring household items.
So more likely than replacing the income tax, Americans should be prepared to pay for tariffs in addition to income taxes.
Let’s assume tariffs are only 25%, so the US manages to bring in an extra $825 billion in revenue. Well, that would certainly bring the budget deficit down to a manageable level... which is a good thing.
But it also means that the average American household would be paying an additional $6,000 per year in taxes— and one that would hit the middle class the hardest.
(This assumes full compliance with the tariffs, which is laughable. Again, people will find ways around it, as they always have.)
Of course, part of the stated goal is that the US economy will start manufacturing these products at home, therefore imports will fall and the tariffs will be pointless.
But this is also a terrible idea. There is such a thing as competitive advantage... of ‘best and highest use’. Why would anyone want to bring industries back to the US which can be done cheaper, and more efficiently elsewhere?
Does anyone seriously want Americans pulling levers in a sock factory, or bent over in the fields tending to their turnips?
The US has abundant natural resources and a productive economy, and forcing inefficiencies onto it through protectionist policies is the wrong move. The best and highest use for the US economy is to create the world’s most valuable technological innovations, not produce socks and underwear.
Now, it’s possible that automation, AI, and cheap (nuclear) power could make America a global manufacturing powerhouse again.
But this won’t happen through tariffs. It will happen through investment, innovation, and competitive advantage.
If politicians want to generate more tax revenue, the answer isn’t to slap tariffs on imports and create a labyrinth of regulations.
The solution is economic growth. And that means lower taxes, and more importantly, less regulation.
Tariffs are at best a distraction, and at worst harmful to the economy. And a growing economy is exactly what the US needs to reverse its decline.

1. Historic Bonds Redemption (Sovereign-Level)
German Bonds (and other historic bonds like Chinese Dragon Bonds, Super Petchilis, Railroad Bonds, etc.)
These were issued long ago and have been held by sovereign groups, large institutions, and select individuals.
Bondholders go through a vetting and redemption process, where bonds are verified and then paid out.
Payments may be staggered in tranches over time.
2. Other Bonds & Private Placements
Zim Bonds (Zimbabwe Bonds) – Considered high-yield and separate from currency exchanges.
Other sovereign bonds (Venezuelan, Peruvian, etc.) follow similar redemption protocols.
Private placements & tiered settlements involve structured payouts to high-net-worth individuals and institutions.
3. Digital & Crypto Assets Integration
Some theories suggest asset-backed crypto may play a role in new financial systems.
Quantum Financial System (QFS) may transition assets into a blockchain-secured environment.
There could be a shift from fiat-based digital assets to gold or commodity-backed digital currencies.
4. Currency Exchange & Revaluation (RV)
Currencies like the Iraqi Dinar (IQD), Vietnamese Dong (VND), Indonesian Rupiah (IDR), Zimbabwean Dollar (ZWL), and others are expected to undergo revaluation.
Exchange centers, banks, or designated locations will facilitate conversions.
Tiers (1-5) dictate when different groups receive access to funds.
Tier 1: Sovereigns & elite institutions.
Tier 2: Governments & select large groups.
Tier 3: Humanitarian & pre-approved projects.
Tier 4: Public holders with pre-arranged agreements (Tier 4B includes internet groups).
Tier 5: General public after revaluation is public.
5. Wealth Management & Project Disbursement
Funds are distributed based on agreements, NDAs, and structured payouts.
Humanitarian projects are expected to receive allocations.
Wealth managers, trusts, and legal structures assist in handling funds post-exchange.
Each phase unfolds in a controlled manner, ensuring that funding flows through proper channels before mass liquidity is released to the public.

Henig: Vietnam Set to Launch Digital Asset Exchange

Henig: Vietnam Set to Launch Digital Asset Exchange
March 8, 2025Last Updated: March 8, 2025
Vietnam is gearing up to pilot a digital asset exchange, as announced by Deputy Finance Minister Nguyen Duc Chi. The initiative aims to establish a trading platform for virtual digital assets (VDAs), with testing slated to commence by the end of March.
This development comes on the heels of Vietnam’s impressive ranking as the fifth country globally in crypto adoption, highlighting the growing significance of the digital asset sector in the nation.
Government’s Commitment to Digital Assets
The Vietnamese finance ministry is actively developing a roadmap for the VDA trading platform, as reported by a government-backed publication. This initiative aligns with Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính’s recent directive, which sets a national growth target of eight percent or more by the end of 2025. The government aims to foster a more welcoming environment for the crypto sector, anticipating an influx of foreign direct investment and promoting sustainable economic growth. In his directive, Prime Minister Chính emphasized the importance of leveraging science, technology, and innovation to drive economic progress.
He urged various ministries and local agencies to support businesses in implementing pilot projects and specific policies related to digital transformation. This proactive approach reflects Vietnam’s commitment to integrating digital assets into its economic framework.
Rising Crypto Adoption in Vietnam
Vietnam has emerged as a leader in cryptocurrency adoption, ranking alongside countries like India, Indonesia, and the United States in Chainalysis’ crypto adoption index since 2021. The country’s crypto sector is currently valued at nearly $3 trillion, indicating a robust growth trajectory. Research forecasts suggest that crypto ownership will continue to rise in Vietnam, driven by increasing interest and investment in digital assets.
However, despite the growing adoption of cryptocurrencies, Vietnam has yet to establish a comprehensive legal framework to regulate the digital assets sector. The absence of clear regulations raises concerns about potential exploitation for illegal transactions, which could evade law enforcement and banking oversight. In response to these challenges, former Deputy Prime Minister Le Minh Khai directed the finance ministry in 2022 to draft a legal framework to support the growth of Web3 technologies.
Education and Innovation in Emerging Technologies
In addition to developing a digital asset exchange, Vietnam is also focusing on educating its citizens about emerging technologies such as blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI). In May, the country launched the Academy of Blockchain and AI Innovation (ABAII) to promote these technologies among students and young professionals.
This initiative aims to equip the workforce with the necessary skills to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. The finance ministry is collaborating with the State Bank of Vietnam to accelerate the formulation of policies governing the digital assets sector. As Vietnam continues to embrace digital transformation, the government’s efforts to educate and innovate in the tech space will play a crucial role in shaping the future of its economy. Link

Frank26 I know this blessing is coming not because I know a date or a rate but because I understand what the United States Treasury...Donald Trump and Sudani are doing with the CBI.
Jeff What they've told us is that going into 2025 they were going to end the currency auctions. We know that much. They did say they transitioned to that new method of transferring foreign currencies abroad... allowing specific local banks within the country of Iraq to send the foreign currencies...But they never officially ended the currency auctions... We know the currency auctions have to end at least by the time the rate changes. We also know that from last November through the end of January the currency auctions went up from about $280 million to $300 million, then in January of this year...went higher from $290 million to $300 million...Their actions of incrementing the currency auctions to higher amounts suggest we're getting getting very close to nearing the end of this...

“Major achievement”: Iraq, BP ink deal to boost Kirkuk oil output
On Monday, the Iraqi Ministry of Oil, represented by the North Oil Company (NOC) and the North Gas Company (NGC), signed a contract with British energy giant BP to develop the Kirkuk oil fields.
In a statement, Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Affairs and Oil Minister Hayyan Abdul-Ghani called the contract signing for the development of NOC fields a “major achievement” for both the ministry and the company, especially after a period of stagnation.
The development and rehabilitation efforts will boost national production, and increase gas investment and production to support electricity generation, he noted, emphasizing that "the ministry is focused on maximizing the state's oil and gas resources, which will positively impact the federal budget's financial resources.”
The contract reportedly includes the rehabilitation and development of the four Kirkuk oil fields (the Baba and Avana domes, Bai Hassan, Jambur, and Khabbaz,) along with the rehabilitation and expansion of gas facilities at the NOC.
Last week, a delegation from BP visited the North Oil Company’s headquarters to finalize steps for rehabilitating the four fields.
The Iraqi government, in February, signed an agreement with the British company to develop Kirkuk’s fields and ensure “the optimal utilization of energy resources.” link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
FIFA SHOWS INTEREST IN DEVELOPING A FIFA TOKEN, US MARKET IN CONSIDERATION
Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) President Gianni Infantino has suggested the organization may develop its own cryptocurrency token.
Infantino made the remarks while attending President Trump’s White House Crypto Summit on March 7. Standing alongside Trump, Infantino expressed FIFA’s interest in creating a digital token to interact with its global fanbase.
“FIFA is very, very interested to develop a FIFA coin, to do it from here, from America, and to conquer the 5 billion soccer fans in the world,” Infantino stated. “If there is anyone here who is interested to team up with FIFA, here we are, together with the United States of America, and we will conquer the world of soccer with the FIFA coin.”
The announcement, though lacking specific details or timelines, hints at FIFA’s exploration of blockchain technology as a potential avenue for fan engagement and revenue generation. Trump responded positively to Gianni stating: “That coin may be worth more than FIFA in the end. It could be quite a coin, actually.”
FIFA token surges 357,000%
Following the summit, market confusion led to a surge in an unaffiliated cryptocurrency named “FIFA. This coin saw a 357,000% daily price increase, reaching a market capitalization of approximately $8.2 million. However, this token has no connection to FIFA.
The recent summit was one of the primary steps for a major cryptocurrency regulation change under the Trump administration.
Key initiatives announced during the event included the establishment of a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. This approach would create a government cryptocurrency position without requiring taxpayer funding.
While Infantino’s announcement provided few details, it shows FIFA’s recognition of cryptocurrency’s potential impact on the future of sports business and fan engagement. The announcement comes particularly as the organization prepares for the 2026 World Cup, which the United States, Canada, and Mexico will jointly host.

RIPPLE CEO SEES 'INCREDIBLE' CRYPTO SUPPORT FROM TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
Ripple’s CEO praised the Trump administration’s embrace of crypto, highlighting support for regulatory clarity, crypto reserves, and digital asset innovation backed by U.S. Treasuries.
Ripple’s CEO Applauds Trump Administration’s Embrace of Crypto
Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, reflected on a significant week for the cryptocurrency industry, highlighting key events such as the first-ever White House Crypto Summit and a U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) CEO Roundtable. He noted the rapid developments in the space, including policy discussions and regulatory shifts.
“There’s been a lot of talk about what this White House has and will prioritize with their crypto agenda – most importantly, regulatory clarity through Congressional action, as well as a BTC reserve & crypto stockpile, support for stablecoin innovation backed by U.S. Treasuries, and more,” Garlinghouse stated on social media platform X on March 7. He also expressed optimism, emphasizing:
I was extremely pleased to see the incredible support from this administration.
He also acknowledged several key figures for their roles in shaping the week’s discussions. Garlinghouse thanked President Donald Trump for welcoming crypto industry leaders to the White House, contrasting it with what he described as the “hostility of the Biden administration.”
Garlinghouse also expressed gratitude to White House AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks and Bo Hines, Executive Director of the President’s Council of Advisers on Digital Assets at the White House, for organizing the crypto summit, and to CFTC Commissioner Caroline Pham for hosting discussions at the agency. These engagements, he suggested, marked a turning point in the relationship between policymakers and the crypto industry.
The Ripple executive urged the crypto community to focus on broader industry goals rather than engaging in internal conflicts between different cryptocurrencies. He reaffirmed his commitment to advocating for a fair regulatory framework, stating:
We will – as we’ve always done — continue to champion the need for a level playing field (and it was great to hear others in the room echo this as well!) and for the industry to come together to move much needed legislation forward in the U.S.

China And Germany Are Leading The Next Round Of Global Inflation
China And Germany Are Leading The Next Round Of Global Inflation
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) March 6, 2025
Between press conference bust ups, tariff announcements, peace deals, and cryptocurrency reserve proclamations, it has been a busy month and a half.
Despite all this, our global economic outlook remains relatively unchanged: we’re still anticipating a pretty serious bout of inflation around the world, and I’ll explain why.
Inflation isn’t hard to understand. We all see it when we go to the grocery store, fill up our cars, or pay for tuition, daycare, or medical services.
China And Germany Are Leading The Next Round Of Global Inflation
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) March 6, 2025
Between press conference bust ups, tariff announcements, peace deals, and cryptocurrency reserve proclamations, it has been a busy month and a half.
Despite all this, our global economic outlook remains relatively unchanged: we’re still anticipating a pretty serious bout of inflation around the world, and I’ll explain why.
Inflation isn’t hard to understand. We all see it when we go to the grocery store, fill up our cars, or pay for tuition, daycare, or medical services.
The pandemic was the perfect illustration of how this happens; governments worldwide locked people in their homes, halting the production of goods and services. Meanwhile, they borrowed and ‘printed’ trillions of dollars, flooding the economy with money.
The obvious result was inflation. More money was chasing fewer goods and services, so prices for just about everything increased, from stocks, crypto, and real estate to eggs and bacon.
We’ve long argued that this trend will continue. And while there was a brief respite, this cycle of debt and central bank money printing is poised to accelerate again.
Germany, for example, just announced roughly €500 billion in spending, almost all of which will be fueled by debt. And that figure appears to be just a modest down payment in their overall spending plan. They want the rest of Europe to join them in this debt binge as well.
Bear in mind, Germany is supposed to be the ‘responsible’ country that lives within its means and spends conservatively. Yet practically overnight, they have adopted a ‘whatever it takes’ mentality, and are working to eliminate legal restrictions on government expenditures so that they can spend even more.
Not to be outdone, the Chinese Communist Party earlier this week announced its own spending bonanza designed to prop up the economy and increase consumer spending.
This is all literally just from the past few days. And the implications cannot be overstated. Similar to what we saw during the pandemic, the flood of new money into the global economy will be inflationary.
We also don’t think it’s going to stop with Germany or China. Most Western nations are poised to spend beyond their means... almost as if locked in a deficit-spending ‘arms race’. So, again, our inflationary outlook has not changed.
This is why we continue to view real assets as a safe haven.
It probably also helps that, in general, real assets are at a remarkably cheap spot in their market cycle, especially when compared to financial assets.
In fact, the last time real assets (commodities specifically) were this cheap relative to stocks was in 1999 at the peak of the dot-com bubble. Commodities and related industries surged 2,000% in the years that followed, dwarfing the returns of the Dow Jones and S&P 500.
We’ve paid very special attention to real asset businesses which are trading at laughably cheap valuations even while gold is near its all time high.
Here’s a great example— last month in our highest-level investment research service, The 4th Pillar, we highlighted a precious metals business operating in one of the worlds best jurisdictions. It has a pristine balance sheet and is quite profitable, yet its stock price trades at a mere 3 times forward earnings.
In our most recent edition, which will be sent to 4th Pillar subscribers tomorrow, is another precious metals business that has been completely overlooked by investors. It too is profitable and has a fantastic balance sheet, yet also trades at a multiple of less than 3.
It’s extremely uncommon to see such healthy, well-managed businesses have enormous growth potential, yet simultaneously be so inexpensive. As a comparison, many popular tech companies have Price/Earnings multiples in excess of 30 or 40.
It’s crazy when you think about it; gold has gone through the roof, yet extremely profitable gold-related companies have seen their share prices languish.
In other words, the share prices of these precious metals companies don’t reflect the fact that gold is already near its all-time high... and they certainly don’t reflect the additional upside potential that gold could continue to surge in the coming years as foreign central banks continue to trade part of their US dollar reserves for gold.
Our investment research service, the 4th Pillar, focuses very heavily on these deeply undervalued real asset businesses: profitable companies with fantastic balance sheets and serious growth prospects that are trading at ridiculous discounts right now.
We don’t believe this anomaly is going to last, i.e. gold surging to fresh, all-time highs, yet gold company share prices languishing.
For the past few weeks we’ve been offering an annual subscription to the 4th Pillar at a steep 50% discount as well. But this too won’t last. In fact we’ll be closing out our special, promotional offer in the next couple of days.
So if you’d like to learn more about the 4th Pillar investment research— and these deeply undervalued real asset businesses, click here for more information while the promotional offer lasts.

The Fiat Dollar’s Final Days: Why a Return to Asset-Backed Money Is Now Underway
The Fiat Dollar’s Final Days: Why a Return to Asset-Backed Money Is Now Underway
Awake-In-3D March 9, 2025
The fiat system is mathematically unsustainable. A return to asset-backed money isn’t just probable—it’s inevitable. No fiat currency has survived forever. Will the U.S. dollar be any different?
For decades, the U.S. dollar has been the cornerstone of global finance, but cracks in the system are becoming impossible to ignore. Inflation is eroding purchasing power, national debt is skyrocketing, and history has shown that no fiat currency lasts forever.

Awake-In-3D March 9, 2025
The fiat system is mathematically unsustainable. A return to asset-backed money isn’t just probable—it’s inevitable. No fiat currency has survived forever. Will the U.S. dollar be any different?
For decades, the U.S. dollar has been the cornerstone of global finance, but cracks in the system are becoming impossible to ignore. Inflation is eroding purchasing power, national debt is skyrocketing, and history has shown that no fiat currency lasts forever.
As we witness the Fiat Dollar’s Final Days, one question remains—what comes next? The answer lies in a return to asset-backed money, the only proven path to restoring stability and trust in the financial system.
The transition back to real money is no longer a question of if—it is only a matter of when.
The Decline of the U.S. Dollar’s Purchasing Power
Since the U.S. abandoned the gold standard in 1971, the dollar has undergone relentless devaluation:
$20 in 1972 now requires $160 in 2023 to buy the same goods and services.
This reflects a 700% increase in prices, meaning the dollar today buys only 12.5% of what it could in 1972.
Inflation, driven by continuous money printing, remains the primary force behind this decline.
Source: The Visual Capitalist
The dollar’s purchasing power continues to erode, forcing Americans to take on more debt just to maintain their standard of living. This outcome was never a possibility—it was a mathematical certainty in a fiat system.
Historical Precedent: 775 Failed Fiat Currencies
The U.S. dollar is not immune to the fate of every other fiat currency in history:
A study of 775 historical fiat currencies shows that the average lifespan is just 27 years.
Many fiat currencies collapsed due to hyperinflation, war, or poor monetary policy.
Examples include:
Weimar Germany’s Papiermark (1920s) – Hyperinflation rendered it worthless.
Zimbabwe Dollar (2000s) – Inflation peaked at 89.7 sextillion percent per month.
Venezuelan Bolívar (2010s) – Over 1,000,000% inflation wiped out savings.
The British Pound and U.S. Dollar remain exceptions—but both have lost nearly all of their original value. The only reason the dollar has lasted longer is its global reserve currency status, a privilege granted after World War II.
Why the U.S. Dollar Has Outlasted Other Fiat Currencies
Most fiat currencies throughout history have followed the same short-lived trajectory—rising to prominence, collapsing under the weight of debt and inflation, and ultimately being replaced. Yet, the U.S. dollar has defied this cycle, surviving far longer than the average fiat currency lifespan of 27 years. The key reason? Its status as the world’s primary global reserve currency.
The Dollar’s Unique Global Role
Following World War II, the Bretton Woods Agreement (1944) established the U.S. dollar as the foundation of the international financial system. Unlike other national currencies, the dollar became the standard for global trade, oil transactions, and foreign exchange reserves. This privileged status allowed the U.S. to:
Export inflation globally – Because countries needed dollars for trade, the U.S. could print more money without immediate consequences.
Borrow without limits – Demand for dollars kept interest rates artificially low, enabling the U.S. government to accumulate massive debt.
Fund military and economic dominance – The dollar’s global acceptance allowed the U.S. to finance wars, economic interventions, and geopolitical influence with newly printed currency.
The Petrodollar System: A Lifeline for Fiat Dominance
In 1971, when President Nixon ended the gold standard, the U.S. struck agreements with Saudi Arabia and other oil-producing nations to ensure that oil would only be traded in U.S. dollars. This petrodollar system created a new artificial demand for the currency, reinforcing its global dominance even after losing its gold backing.
As long as countries needed dollars to purchase oil and conduct international trade, the U.S. could continue running massive deficits and inflating the currency without immediate collapse—something no other fiat currency in history has been able to do.
The Dollar’s Reserve Status Is Now at Risk
Today, however, the factors that once kept the dollar afloat are beginning to unravel:
Foreign nations are diversifying away from the dollar – China, Russia, and other economic powers are forming trade agreements in alternative currencies, reducing reliance on the dollar.
The petrodollar system is weakening – Countries like Saudi Arabia and the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) are exploring oil trade agreements that bypass the U.S. dollar.
Debt levels are spiraling out of control – The U.S. is now generating $1 trillion in debt every 100 days, making long-term confidence in the dollar increasingly unsustainable.
Without its global reserve currency status, the U.S. dollar will lose the one advantage that has allowed it to survive longer than any other fiat currency. And once that happens, its fate will be no different from the hundreds of failed fiat currencies that came before it.
The Debt Spiral and the Fiat Dollar’s Final Days
The U.S. government faces an unsustainable debt trajectory, guaranteeing continued currency devaluation:
U.S. national debt is approaching $37 trillion.
The U.S. government is generating an over $1 trillion in debt every 100 days today.
Annual interest payments on the debt now outpace military spending.
In a fiat system, governments sustain debt by printing more money. This endless money printing accelerates the dollar’s devaluation, creating a cycle that inevitably leads to collapse.
The Only Way Forward: A Return to Asset-Backed Money
Historically, fiat currency cycles have followed a consistent pattern:
Governments print excessive money.
Debt spirals out of control.
Confidence in the currency collapses.
A new monetary system emerges.
The U.S. dollar requires asset backing to avoid collapse. The timing, not the possibility, remains the only uncertainty.
What an Asset-Backed Dollar Means for the Fiat Dollar’s Final Days
A modern, asset-backed currency would likely involve:
Gold-backed U.S. Treasury notes issued at a new exchange rate.
A mix of commodities (gold, silver, oil, or even digital assets like Bitcoin) to provide additional stability.
A phased transition away from pure fiat, allowing markets to adjust gradually.
Returning to asset backing would:
Restore confidence in the dollar by tying it to real-world value.
Prevent uncontrolled money printing and enforce fiscal responsibility.
Protect savings and wages from the relentless erosion of purchasing power.
The Bottom Line: The System Is Running Out of Time
The U.S. dollar has had an extraordinary run, surviving far longer than most fiat currencies due to its global reserve status. However, history, math, and economics all point to the same conclusion—the system is running out of time.
With debt levels exploding, inflation eroding purchasing power, and nations actively preparing alternatives, the era of the unbacked fiat dollar nears its end.
The only viable solution is a return to real, asset-backed money. When this reset happens, those who understand the shift will be best positioned for the future.
The transition back to real money is no longer a question of if—it is only a matter of when.
