Trump vs. BRICS, the Battle for Global Currency Supremacy

Trump vs. BRICS, the Battle for Global Currency Supremacy

Geopolitical Analyst:  3-26-2025

The global financial landscape is undergoing a significant shift, and at the heart of this transformation lies a power struggle for the future of global currency supremacy.

 For decades, the US dollar has reigned supreme, serving as the cornerstone of international trade, investment, and holding the coveted title of the world’s primary reserve currency.

However, the rise of new economic powerhouses, particularly the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), and the expansion of the BRICS+ coalition, are challenging the dollar’s long-held dominance.

The emergence of these powerful economies, spearheaded by China and Russia, has ignited a strategic rivalry with the United States, each side vying for control over the future global currency system.

Fueling this competition is the legacy of former President Donald Trump’s “America First” policy, which sought to solidify the US dollar’s position. Meanwhile, the BRICS+ nations are actively exploring alternatives to de-dollarize and diminish the US currency’s influence.

But what do these competing forces mean for the global economy, and is the US dollar truly in danger of losing its coveted position as the world’s reserve currency?

The US dollar’s dominance in the global financial system spans nearly a century. After World War II, the Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944 established the US dollar as the central currency for international trade and finance. This landmark agreement, which pegged other currencies to the US dollar, solidified its position as the world’s reserve currency.

Even the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in the early 1970s couldn’t dethrone the dollar, which continued to reign supreme in global finance.

Several factors have contributed to the dollar’s unparalleled strength. Foremost among them is the sheer size and resilience of the US economy. As the world’s largest economy, the United States boasts a financial system that is deep, liquid, and trusted by investors worldwide. This inherent stability attracts capital and reinforces the dollar’s attractiveness.

Furthermore, the dollar has become the default currency for key global markets, most notably the oil market. The “petrodollar” system, which mandates that oil transactions be conducted in dollars, has been instrumental in cementing the dollar’s central role in global trade and demand.

Beyond economic factors, the dollar has also benefitted from its status as the preferred reserve currency for central banks worldwide. The United States’ considerable political and military influence further reinforces the dollar’s dominance. Countries looking to engage in trade with the US or maintain access to its vast markets are incentivized to hold dollar reserves, effectively reinforcing the dollar’s global position.

Ariel:  The Gold Standard:

A Return to Real Wealth America re-adopting the gold standard means every dollar is backed by tangible gold, not just government promises.

Historically, the U.S. abandoned the gold standard in 1971 under Nixon, leading to decades of inflation $1 in 1971 is worth about $7.50 today.

Now, with gold backing the dollar, your money holds real value. Imagine walking into a store knowing the $100 in your pocket won’t lose purchasing power overnight.

 For families, this means savings grow, not shrink. Businesses can plan long-term without fearing currency devaluation.

Globally, the dollar regains trust nations like China and Russia, who’ve hoarded gold (China with 2,200 tons, Russia with 2,300 tons as of 2024), will trade with the U.S. on equal footing, stabilizing markets and reducing economic warfare.

Do you all see what is happening right in front of your eyes?

Mnt Goat  Will cash paper dinar coincide with the digital dinar?  Article: “RAFIDAIN BANK DEPLOYS ATMS AT 5 STATIONS IN BAGHDAD”  Why would they deploy yet more ATMs now. Don’t forget also the hundreds of ATMs deployed throughout Iraq in the past. Why would they do this if not still expecting to use cash at some level.  Article Quote:  “Rafidain Bank announced the deployment of automated teller machines (ATMs) at a number of stations, allowing customers to conduct withdrawals and deposits easily and safely..." So, now we see the ATMs would only be needed if there is still a need for cash.

The next 2008 is already unfolding—only this time, it’s not the banks at risk… it’s your savings. Retail bankruptcies are exploding, but that’s just the beginning.

Behind the scenes, private equity is using a dangerous debt strategy that could wipe out 401(k)s, pensions, and retirement accounts across the country.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

BIG WIN FOR CRYPTO: OPERATION CHOKEPOINT 2.0 POLICIES ROLLED BACK

David Sacks, the White House crypto czar, celebrated a big victory today. He announced that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is following the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) in removing “reputational risk” as a factor in bank supervision.

This change effectively rolls back the controversial Operation Chokepoint 2.0 policies, which had led to the unfair debanking of crypto companies.

Sacks said that this is a big step forward for crypto. Operation Chokepoint 2.0, which was supported by figures like Senator Elizabeth Warren, used vague criteria like “reputational risk” to target crypto businesses.

This meant that institutions could be punished for negative publicity, whether true or not. The new policy change will make banking criteria more objective and fair, preventing political influence from hurting the crypto sector.

Sacks also credited Senator Tim Scott for his leadership in pushing these changes, especially through the Financial Institution Reform and Modernization (FIRM) Act. This move is expected to create a better environment for crypto businesses and could lead to higher prices for digital assets in the future.

Fox Business’ Eleanor Terrett added more context, explaining why “regulation by enforcement” doesn’t work. She explained that Ripple has spent between $150 million and $200 million in legal fees over the years, only to end up in the same position it was in when the SEC first filed the lawsuit in 2020. The SEC likely spent taxpayer dollars as well.

XRP holders were also negatively impacted, as exchanges removed the token, causing its value to drop. Many other crypto projects also became hesitant to build in the U.S. for fear of being targeted by the SEC. Terrett criticized SEC Chair Gary Gensler for focusing resources on crypto firms while missing major issues like FTX, 3AC, and Celsius, which caused real harm to investors.

SEC SCHEDULES FOUR NEW ROUNDTABLES FOR CRYPTO TASK FORCE

The SEC is aiming to discuss and solve regulatory issues around crypto trading, custody, tokenization, and decentralized finance.

The SEC's Crypto Task Force announced Tuesday it will host four more roundtables on crypto and digital asset regulation.

The roundtables would run from April to June, building on the agency's efforts to create clearer rules for the industry.

Crypto roundtables are a way for the SEC to "hear a lively discussion among experts" in order to understand current regulatory issues and what the Commission can do to “solve them," Commissioner Hester Peirce, who leads the task force, said in a statement.

Sessions for the roundtables are slated to discuss trading (April 11), custody considerations (April 25), asset tokenization (May 12), and decentralized finance (June 6). The roundtables will take place at the SEC headquarters with both in-person and virtual attendance options.

Just a day after his appointment, acting SEC Chairman Mark Uyeda announced the establishment of the Crypto Task Force on January 21 to develop clear regulatory frameworks and registration paths for crypto companies.

By March, the SEC had assembled key figures and industry experts to help bolster these efforts.

The SEC's plan to host four more crypto roundtables follows on from the task force's first one held last Friday, which examined how securities laws might apply to digital assets.

"Spring signifies new beginnings, and we have a new beginning here, a restart of the commission's approach to crypto regulation," Commissioner Peirce said during that session.

Backstage at the first roundtable, Commissioner Peirce told Decrypt that the agency is also exploring how it could "provide some kind of framework or some kind of markers" to craft rules for NFTs as an asset category.

That followed its pronouncement on Thursday last week that crypto mining does not violate securities laws.

The move aligns with broader crypto policy changes under President Donald Trump, who has been supportive of the industry both during his campaign trail to become the first "crypto president" and right after his electoral win.

Since he began his second term as POTUS, Trump has signed an executive order establishing a strategic crypto reserve, moved to acquire as much Bitcoin as possible, and helped push a stablecoin bill forward, among other key initiatives he’s done so far for the crypto industry.

Nothing Combats Climate Change Like a Four-Lane Highway Through the Amazon

Nothing Combats Climate Change Like a Four-Lane Highway Through the Amazon

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)   March 21, 2025

About eight months from now in November 2025, over 50,000 world leaders, bureaucrats, activists, celebrities, and VIPs will descend upon the Brazilian city of Belém for the United Nation’s annual climate change lollapalooza, otherwise known as COP30.

These esteemed experts will gather to lecture the world on how desperately the rest of us peasants need to cut carbon emissions. They’ll make “bold commitments” to end fossil fuels and pledge to save the Amazon rainforest.

But first they’ll fly in on their private jets, then convoy down to the conference site in luxury gas-guzzling SUVs.

Naturally, our moral overlords can’t be expected to sit in traffic like a filthy commoner. Their time is clearly too valuable.

So fortunately the Brazilian government is bulldozing thousands of acres of the aforementioned Amazon rainforest to build a special four-lane highway... so that visiting climate dignitaries can be whisked from their private jets to their luxury hotel suites in a matter of minutes.

Seriously. You can’t make this stuff up.

It’s called Avenida Liberdade—“Liberty Avenue”—a freshly paved road slicing right through a protected stretch of Amazon jungle, all so VIPs don’t get stuck in traffic on their way to dine on truffled wagyu beef— while telling everyone else to eat bugs and weeds to combat climate change.

But this really shouldn’t be surprising— such hypocrisy is extremely ‘on brand’ for the UN’s signature climate conference.

At COP27 in Egypt, over 400 private jets descended on Sharm El Sheikh, belching emissions into the atmosphere so climate VIPs could discuss… how to cut emissions. The gourmet menus featured $100 Angus beef medallions served to attendees who blamed cow flatulence for global warming.

In fact, the UN’s “State of Climate Action 2022”, which was released days before COP27, listed meat consumption as one of the key initiatives that political leaders need to tackle.

But at least it showed where the UN stands on human rights abuses at the hands of brutal authoritarian regimes like that of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi: murderous dictatorships are okay, as long as they bow to the climate agenda.

The next year, the theme of COP28 (the 28th year of holding the conference) was: “No more waiting. It’s time to take action.”

The bold action they took was to convene panels dedicated to gender identity and feminism—because naturally, pronouns are the key to stabilizing the planet’s temperature.

30 years of private jets, meat consumption, and felling rainforests has accomplished nothing other than providing luxury parties for elitists to discuss how regular people should suffer in the name of combating climate change.

The most ridiculous part is that the perfect solution already exists: nuclear energy.

But they completely ignore it. They’re more willing to pave through the rainforest so they can discuss pronouns, rather than acknowledge nuclear energy as the obvious answer.

Fortunately, no one actually listens to these hypocrites. And anyone in the know is already getting behind nuclear.

Tech giants like Meta, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft have all inked deals to secure their own nuclear power sources, many through extremely safe small modular reactors.

These evil capitalists will end up doing more to combat climate change than three decades of bureaucrats.

Funny thing, combating climate change isn’t even really the tech companies’ primary goal; the bigger issue is that the US power grid is already stretched to the max. And they know that power consumption will grow dramatically in the coming years because of AI, robotics, and more.

These companies are looking to safeguard their own power supplies. So they took matters into their own hands. They know nuclear is safe, cheap, and absurdly efficient. A single rock of uranium can power a small city for a day.

So they cut their own deals and made their own investments. But they’re not alone.

The state of South Carolina is getting back into nuclear power. And, even at the federal level, there is significant support emerging for nuclear power. In fact the new US Energy Secretary was formerly a board member at a small-scale nuclear start-up.

Unfortunately the US is currently lagging behind other countries in its nuclear ambitions; China, India, and many other countries are building nuclear reactors at a furious pace.

This also means that demand for uranium— the key fuel for nuclear power— is set to soar as these new nuclear plants come online around the world.

At the moment, however, there simply isn’t enough uranium being produced to match demand. Not even close. And that supply/demand imbalance almost certainly means a dramatically higher future price for uranium.

This is a classic real asset opportunity: the most promising energy asset on earth is facing skyrocketing demand and dwindling supply. Yet at the moment it is still cheap.

It’s only a matter of time before that changes drastically.

He added, "The American side has the economic card to play with Iraq, as it is possible to prevent dealings with certain companies and restrict financial transactions, but such a siege cannot be resorted to by Washington without justifications that push it to such options."

He explained that "America will not be able to re-exert pressure on Iraq through the security aspects related to the terrorist ISIS, and therefore it is working on the economic card to achieve its interests." End  link

This High-Risk Gamble Is Putting The Future Of The US Economy At Stake

This High-Risk Gamble Is Putting The Future Of The US Economy At Stake

Notes From the Field BY James Hickman (Simon Black)  March 24, 2025

Russian-born Lydia Lopokova was not happy with her accommodations at the posh Mount Washington Hotel.  The world-famous former ballerina complained that, in room 219, “the taps run all day, the windows do not close or open, the pipes mend and unmend.” Not to mention the hotel pool was absolutely frigid, even for someone who had grown up in frosty Saint Petersburg.

Lopokova coped by practicing her ballet moves late in the evening-- the only time when the crisp New Hampshire mountain air made it tolerable enough to exercise.

But perhaps she was just being petty; US Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau was staying right below her in room 119… and Lopokova’s constant grande jetes and pirouettes reportedly kept him awake all night.

It was early July 1944. And delegates from all over the world had descended upon the picturesque town of Bretton Woods, New Hampshire for the most important monetary conference in history.

(The Mount Washington Hotel was specifically chosen because it was the largest structure in all of New Hampshire… and the only facility capable of accommodating such a large group.)

The event was truly international; the New Yorker magazine celebrated the “gathering of Colombians, Poles, Liberians, Chinese, Ethiopians, Filipinos, Icelanders, and other spectacular people.” Lopokova described the atmosphere as a “madhouse”.

But she had no choice… for her husband, the legendary British economist John Maynard Keynes, was the star of the show.

Keynes in many ways was like Albert Einstein-- he had transcended his profession and become something of a cultural icon. And all throughout the conference, other delegates waited patiently for a photo while reporters frantically wrote down his every utterance.

“Lord Keynes,” said his colleague Lionel Robbins, “was photographed from at least 50 different angles. . . Lord Keynes standing up, Lord Keynes sitting down . . . and so on and so forth.”

But despite Keynes’s celebrity and gravitas, it was the Americans who had called the Bretton Woods Conference… and it was the Americans who were running the show. The United States was out to create what one of Morgenthau’s top lieutenants had called “a New Deal for a New World”.

Everyone in room knew that World War II was nearing its conclusion. The Allied invasion of Normandy had succeeded, and Nazi general Gerd von Rundstedt was about to advise Hitler to make peace. So, it was time for the allies to contemplate a post-war future.

US President Franklin Roosevelt’s message to delegates was to “take counsel with one another” to determine “the shape of the future which we are to win.”

It was a polite gesture to pretend that there would be debate and compromise among the various nations. But it was clear to all that “the future” which Roosevelt referenced would be 100% dominated by the United States. And everyone had precisely 21 days to get on board the America Train.

The primary agreement was that the US dollar would be fixed to gold… and all other nations would peg their currencies to the US dollar. The dollar would become the global reserve currency.

Keynes was furious, and at one point he screamed at senior US officials over their “lunatic proposals.” (The New York Times wrote that “the majestic beauty of the surroundings is in striking contrast to the temporary bedlam which broke out” at the event.)

Great Britain was being stripped of all power and prestige-- even losing traditional export rights to its own colonies. For Keynes, the entire event was a constant, humiliating reminder that there was no room in the New World Order for Great Britain.

But Keynes was also realistic; British debt-to-GDP had swelled to a whopping 240% in 1944, up from just 29% prior to World War I. Britain simply didn’t have the economic muscle to be the world’s dominant superpower.

So, in the end, he signed the Bretton Woods Agreement (though later complained that no one had been given “a chance of reading through a clean and consecutive copy of the [final] document.”)

In other words, the contract which formally unseated Britain as the global economic superpower had its most preeminent economist’s signature on it.

We may very well be watching the early stages of a similar seismic shift in global finance-- a move that may displace the US as the global economic power. And in the end, there could likely even be a formal contract with a prominent American’s signature on it.

As one of Donald Trump’s top economic advisors, Stephen Miran, recently wrote, “We may be on the cusp of a generational change in the international trade and financial systems.” He would know; he coined the term “Mar-a-Lago Accord”, and its basic principles are playing out in real time.

Their central idea is to throw free trade and free markets out the window… and acknowledge that both (1) US-led global security and (2) access to America’s lucrative consumer market are esteemed privileges that foreign nations must pay handsomely for.

To be fair, the premises are not crazy. For example, they question why America should have “free trade” with a foreign nation that doesn’t respect US intellectual property rights. Or why the US should bear the costs of providing security to nations which don’t pay their NATO obligations in full.

These are not unreasonable assertions. But what they’re talking about is still a fundamental reset in the global financial system that has existed for decades. And that’s a high-risk gamble.

First off, countries must bow to America’s political agenda. If not, tariffs will be imposed. And these guys honestly believe that tariffs are revenue-positive.

Miran writes that “tariffs provide revenue, and if offset by currency adjustments, present minimal inflationary or otherwise adverse side effects. . .”

He then cites the 2018-2019 trade war against China as an example of tariffs not sparking inflation-- primarily because the Chinese devalued their currency. He ignores other examples (Smoot-Hawley) of tariffs wrecking the economy.

Furthermore, access to the US consumer market, plus the promise of security and military support, must be ‘bought’ by foreign governments and central banks who must swap their US government bonds for long-term “century” bonds which potentially pay no interest.

Again, countries which do not comply will face tariffs.

We’re already witnessing the plan’s first phase: tariffs on Canadian and Mexican products. Europe is on deck. This does not seem to be an idea or wild theory-- it’s happening right in front of us.

Will it work? Who knows. If the US government manages to browbeat enough nations into submission, it’s possible there could be some trade re-balancing, additional tax revenue, and decreased interest cost on the national debt.

But there’s also significant risk that even allied nations say, “enough is enough”, i.e. that they turn their backs on the US and dump the dollar for good.

In this case, the Mar-a-Lago proponents believe the Federal Reserve would step in to ‘print’ all the money necessary to finance the bond market.

Remember, during the pandemic, the Fed printed roughly $5 trillion… and we got 9% inflation. There’s $28 trillion worth of US government debt set to mature over the next four years alone. If foreigners turn their backs on the dollar, and the Fed has to print a good chunk of that $28 trillion, inflation could easily skyrocket.

Make no mistake-- this is a high stakes gamble with a potentially binary outcome.

They either succeed… and manage to reinvigorate America’s standing with most of the world; or they fail… and torpedo the US economy, spark a nasty bout of inflation, and destroy the US dollar’s dominance in global trade.

Either way, it means a new global financial system. And it’s playing out in front of our very eyes.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

RIPPLE OPTS NOT TO CROSS-APPEAL AS SEC CASE NEARS RESOLUTION

Ripple Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty posted on Wednesday on X his potential “last update” on the case.  Alderoty noted that this would all be subject to a commission vote, final documents and standard court processes

▪️Ripple has decided not to file a cross-appeal, signaling that its long-running legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is nearing an end, the firm's chief legal officer said Wednesday.

▪️Ripple Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty posted on Wednesday on X his potential "last update" on the case following four years of back and forth between the two. Last week, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said that the SEC had pulled its appeal of part of an earlier ruling.

A cross-appeal, which allows both sides to challenge different aspects of a court ruling, could have given Ripple a chance to contest its $125 million liability, but instead, Alderoty said the SEC will keep part of that amount and return the rest to the firm.

"The SEC will keep $50M of the $125M fine (already in an interest-bearing escrow in cash), with the balance returned to Ripple," he said. "The agency will also ask the Court to lift the standard injunction that was imposed earlier at the SEC’s request."

The SEC declined to comment. Alderoty noted that this would all be subject to a commission vote, final documents and standard court processes.

U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Analisa Torres ruled in July 2023 that some of Ripple’s sales, called programmatic, of XRP did not violate securities laws because of a blind bid process in place for them. Torres, however, ruled that other direct token sales to institutional investors were securities.

That second part regarding institutional investors meant that Ripple would be fined $125 million.

The SEC has taken on a new direction since the new Trump administration rolled in, following former Chair Gary Gensler's exit in January. Under the previous Biden administration, Gensler had said most cryptocurrencies were securities and called on crypto platforms to register with the agency. While the agency brought cases against major crypto exchanges and firms under Gensler’s reign, the case against Ripple was brought before Gensler became chair.

Over the past several weeks, the SEC has rescinded controversial crypto accounting guidance,  looked to re-examine rules affecting crypto, created a crypto task force and issued statements on memecoins and proof-of-work.

RIPPLE WALKS AWAY PAYING JUST $50 MILLION TO SEC OVER XRP LAWSUIT

The SEC first sued Ripple Labs in 2020.

Ripple Labs has agreed to pay a $50 million fine to end the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s years-long investigation into the Ripple-linked firm, the company’s Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty said on Tuesday.

“The SEC will keep $50M of the $125M fine,” he wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, referring to the penalty Ripple Labs was ordered to pay by a New York court in August over unregistered XRP sales to institutional investors.

Alderoty said that Ripple has meanwhile agreed to drop its cross-appeal of U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres’ decision, which found that XRP is “not necessarily a security on its face,” especially within the context of programmatic sales to unknown buyers.

The SEC, under the leadership of former Chair Gary Gensler, sought a $2 billion penalty against ripple labs for what it claimed were unregistered securities transactions. The SEC first brought its lawsuit against Ripple Labs during President Donald Trump’s first administration.

Alderoty’s declaration follows Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s recognition that the SEC’s case has ended. He described it as a “long overdue surrender” on the regulator’s part last week.

The SEC’s about-face was widely expected following Trump’s reelection. Since Acting SEC Chair Mark Uyeda took over the agency’s reins, it has retreated from several enforcement cases, including those against the crypto exchanges Coinbase and Kraken.

Alderoty said on Tuesday that the decision is subject to Commission vote, echoing a video posted alongside Garlinghouse’s announcement last week.

A Ripple spokesperson told Decrypt then that the “timeline is completely in the SEC's control,” and it may take “several weeks” for the case to be officially withdrawn.
