Ariel: Only One Way out, Rate Change or Sink

Things are lining up nicely. Donald Trump is putting pressure on them in many ways and it’s choking their economy. He has basically gotten rid of the double-speak and narrowed everything down to one tunnel entrance.
No getting over or under this time. Only one way out. Rate change. Or sink.

Walkingstick Question: "What do you think about the new Treasury Secretary going to Iraq?" Isn't it wonderful that his first mission was to go to Iraq...I think they're celebrating 1 to 1... This is a re-denomination. They're going to drop the three zeros from the exchange rate and they're going to drop them from their physical currency and they'll come out with a re-denomination of currency without zeros that will match a 1 to 1 rate.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
BRICS: CHINA TRADE SURPLUS HITS $1T AMID US FACEOFF
The last several months have seen geopolitical tensions between the global South and West increase. At the center, new United States president Donald Trump has warned of impending 100% tariffs on the alliance. Yet one of the BRICS leading nations, China, has recently announced a trade surplus of $1 trillion amid its ongoing US faceoff.
The growth of China as a prominent global economy is undeniable. Moreover, it has only reinforced the growing rivalry with the United States that could continue well into 2025. However, the Eastern Asian nation has continued to solidify its position at the forefront of an economic alliance that could be growing in its allure.

BRICS: CHINA TRADE SURPLUS HITS $1T AMID US FACEOFF
The last several months have seen geopolitical tensions between the global South and West increase. At the center, new United States president Donald Trump has warned of impending 100% tariffs on the alliance. Yet one of the BRICS leading nations, China, has recently announced a trade surplus of $1 trillion amid its ongoing US faceoff.
The growth of China as a prominent global economy is undeniable. Moreover, it has only reinforced the growing rivalry with the United States that could continue well into 2025. However, the Eastern Asian nation has continued to solidify its position at the forefront of an economic alliance that could be growing in its allure.
China Announces Trade Surplus and Economic Growth as US Targets BRICS
In 2024, Donald Trump won a historic presidential election. The outcome was clear, and he was set to lead his second nonconsecutive term as commander-in-chief.
A key part of his campaign was ensuring the US dollar stood as the world’s currency. That placed his incoming administration in direct conflict with the BRICS alliance
For much of the last several years, the BRICS bloc has sought to challenge the dominance of the greenback. Moreover, they have even considered the creation of their own economic alliance. A big reason was to create an alternative world order, one that doesn’t so easily rely on the West.
That message caught on, and its influence is what drove Trump to focus on countering it. Yet, recent data has reinforced why it became important to begin with. Indeed, BRICS nation China has announced its trade surplus has hit $1 trillion amid its US faceoff.
That reality reinforces the potential of the Chinese economy to continue to flourish. The US goods trade deficit reached a record $122 billion, according to a Reuters report. Moreover, China has also announced a 5% economic growth figure, which only assures it is a key alternative to Western dominance.
Trump has warned of incoming tariffs, but the data makes that a concerning proclamation. How both sides respond will have monumental geopolitical implications.
To this point, China has not budged on its BRICS-related efforts. Alternatively, the US President has not sought producing discussions. Only time will tell where the faceoff goes in the coming months.

ECB CUTS RATES, LAGARDE RULES OUT BITCOIN IN EU RESERVES
The European Central Bank cut interest rates as expected on Thursday and left the option for more easing open. It maintained that inflation in the euro zone is mostly under control, despite concerns about global trade.
ECB Cuts Rate To 2.75%
The European Central Bank made its fifth rate cut since June, lowering the deposit rate from 3.0% to 2.75%. Despite some signs of recovery in recent surveys, the euro zone economy remains weak, and inflation is still slightly above the ECB’s 2% target.
This economic situation made the rate cut necessary to support growth and keep inflation under control. “The disinflation process is well on track,” noted the ECB.
The ECB noted that inflation is still high because wages and prices are adjusting slowly after the past inflation surge. However, wage growth is slowing down as anticipated, and company profits are helping to reduce the impact of inflation.
Policymakers Relieved
Besides, the policymakers were likely relieved after U.S. President Donald Trump’s new administration didn’t impose the feared blanket trade tariffs. However, his threats continue to cast a shadow over the economic outlook. Tariffs often weaken economic growth, and if countries respond with their own tariffs, it can drive up inflation. This could complicate the ECB’s plans to ease interest rates.
Recently, the US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) announced its first monetary policy decision of 2025 noting that it will keep interest rates steady at the 4.25% to 4.5% range, which was in line with expectations.
Bitcoin Won’t Enter EU Reserves
Besides, the European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde said that she was confident that Bitcoin would not enter reserves in the European Union.
“There is a view around the table of the Governing Council and most likely the General Council as well that reserves have to be liquid, that reserves have to be secure, that they have to be safe, that they should not be plagued by the suspicion of money laundering or other criminal activities,” Lagarde noted.
As a result, she stated that she is confident Bitcoin will not be included in the reserves of any central bank within the General Council.
Czech Reublic Faces Concerns Over Bitcoin Reserve Proposal
The Czech Republic is also preparing to adopt a Bitcoin reserve, but Finance Minister Zbynek Stanjura has raised concerns about the country’s Bitcoin strategy. In response to Czech National Bank (CNB) Governor’s Bitcoin proposal, the Finance Minister voiced concerns about Bitcoin’s instability and volatility. He argued that Bitcoin is unsuitable as a national reserve due to its highly volatile nature and emphasized that the government cannot override the CNB’s decisions.

Millionaires Live by These Rules To Build Wealth — Experts Explain If They’ll Work for You
Angela Mae Mon, January 27, 2025 GOBankingRates
There’s an estimated 24.5 million millionaires in the United States. That’s a relatively small percentage of the country’s population, but it’s also not zero — meaning it’s very possible for more people to achieve “millionaire” status. It’s all about being strategic and intentional with your money and financial decisions.

Millionaires Live by These Rules To Build Wealth — Experts Explain If They’ll Work for You
Angela Mae Mon, January 27, 2025 GOBankingRates
There’s an estimated 24.5 million millionaires in the United States. That’s a relatively small percentage of the country’s population, but it’s also not zero — meaning it’s very possible for more people to achieve “millionaire” status. It’s all about being strategic and intentional with your money and financial decisions.
If you’ve decided to truly pursue the goal of becoming a millionaire, you might be wondering how to get started. What types of rules do millionaires — especially self-made ones — follow to build (and maintain) their wealth?
Here’s the answer, according to a Forbes article, and how well the average person can follow those rules to do the same, as per the experts.
Pay Yourself First
Building wealth can take a while, but you can get yourself on the right path by prioritizing saving money before you prioritize spending it. In other words, pay yourself first.
According to the Forbes article, you should be saving 20% to 30% of your total income. This means you should save $20,000 to $30,000 for every $100,000 you make. You can do this based on either net or gross income, but gross will result in greater savings potential.
“By prioritizing savings and investments before any discretionary spending, individuals ensure that they are consistently building wealth,” said Shirley Mueller, founder of VA Lans Texas. “The earlier you begin this habit, the more time your money has to grow, particularly through the power of compound interest.”
Live Below Your Means
Millionaires stay millionaires not because they flaunt what they have or spend their money with abandon, but because they live below their means. But they become millionaires because they also think big.
This means spending less than you earn, which could entail eliminating those unnecessary expenses or reevaluating your budget. And it means dreaming of — and planning for — a bigger future.
“Resist the urge to splurge! Once of the most common financial mistakes people make is to drastically increase their expenses as soon as their income increases,” said Melissa Murphy Pavone, founder at Mindful Financial Partners.
“Avoid the urge to spend more as you make more. Instead save more. Invest the difference. As you get a raise, give yourself a raise. Increase your 401(k) contribution. Add to your emergency fund. Your future self will thank you.”
Be Strategic With Debt
According to Experian, the average U.S. consumer has $104,215 in total debt — including mortgages and other loans. But while some debt is “good” — or rather, useful — much should be avoided.

Gold To Surge Past $3k on This Market Move, Stock Market on Verge of ‘Topping Out’ | Chris Vermeulen
Kitco News: 1-29-2025
The Federal Reserve just held interest rates steady, but US central bank Chair Jerome Powell removed key language about inflation progress, sending stocks tumbling and Treasury yields surging past 4.5%.
With traders now pushing back rate cut expectations to July, is Powell ignoring warning signs of slowing growth? Meanwhile, Trump is turning up the heat, demanding immediate rate cuts and claiming he knows interest rates better than Powell.
If the Fed holds firm, could the White House start targeting the central bank? At the same time, gold is nearing $3,000, but a liquidity crunch is draining UK vaults as bullion shifts to New York.

If the tariffs work out no income tax, no IRS, Nesara/Gesara is here. …Julian Assange
Wed. 29 Jan. 2025 TRUMP ANNOUNCES: NO INCOME TAX, NO IRS! NESARA GESARA IS HERE! …Julian Assange on Telegram
KABOOM! It’s January 26, 2025, and President Donald J. Trump just dropped the biggest bombshell in American history! Standing before a roaring crowd, he declared:
“How about no tax? We could do that. If the tariffs work out, a thing like that could happen!”
This is more than a promise—it’s the beginning of the NESARA GESARA era, a golden age where financial slavery ends, and freedom reigns!
GOODBYE INCOME TAX, HELLO FREEDOM! For over a century, the IRS has drained the lifeblood of the American people. Trump’s vision? No more income tax. No more property tax. NO IRS. This isn’t just talk. Trump’s plan is rooted in history—America thrived without income taxes before 1913. What changed? The Federal Reserve and the IRS were created, enslaving Americans under a corrupt system.
Now, Trump is ready to tear it all down and replace it with a fair, simple system: A 14% flat tax on non-essential goods—no taxes on food, medicine, or housing. A gold-backed currency that ends the Federal Reserve’s stranglehold.
NESARA GESARA: THE PEOPLE’S RESET: This isn’t just an idea; it’s a revolution! Under NESARA GESARA: Debt erased—mortgages, loans, and credit card debt wiped out! IRS abolished—no audits, no harassment. Financial privacy restored—Big Brother is out of your wallet.
TARIFFS:: How will this work? Trump’s strategy is simple: tariffs on foreign imports. By taxing global elites and foreign competitors, he protects American workers while funding the government without stealing from your paycheck.
THIS IS IT—THE GOLDEN AGE HAS ARRIVED!: Trump isn’t just changing policy; he’s changing lives. The NESARA GESARA framework ensures: True ownership—no property taxes. Unhackable elections with the new QFS voting system. Global prosperity through humanitarian projects.
IT’S TIME TO RISE! The Storm is here, and Trump is leading the charge. The old system is crumbling. Are you ready to embrace the future? Freedom is calling.

Mnt Goat Article: “IRAQ BOOSTS FINANCIAL STABILITY WITH HUGE DOLLAR AND GOLD RESERVES IN US, EUROPE”. ...Boy, oh boy they are teasing us dinar investors once again. They are flaunting their wealth once again but the IQD is still at 1/6 of a penny and NOT traded on FOREX? Meanwhile Iraq has 43% more oil reserves than Kuwait...and just founded two more major wells besides....Kuwait is at 1 KWD = 3.25 USD on FOREX...If we pay attention we can see the writing is on the wall and their economists see it now too.
Walkingstick President Trump put the world on notice that the American dollar will be the reserve currency of the world with or without you. Trump protects the United States dollar and the IQD. Our military forces have poured into Iraq from one area to refortify what we have. Why? To protect the reforms, to protect the currency. Trump was saying I'll take your oil but I'm going to drill baby, therefore I'll take a new exchange rate for the IQD that I have in my reserves and deal, deal, deal or no deal...

Member: Our thoughts, and prayers go out to the people, and the Families of everyone involved in that tragic, tragic Accident...
Member: Can't we ever just go a week or two without some heartbreaking news???
MZ: A terrible tragedy……many details will be coming out today. Lots of conspiracy theories….we will be hearing more throughout the day.

Member: That would be amazing.
MZ: I am hearing they have sped things up massively in the last 10 days.
Member: With Kuwait having the highest currency in the world, it makes no sense for Iraq to revalue at a rate too much higher than Kuwait.
Member: Mark why hasn't 4b got notifications for the rv? what are your thoughts on when it would happen?
MZ: I have zero bond updates today. This may have been one of the longest stretches I have seen in weeks with nothing on that front. Same with PP’s CMKX ect…..contacts are not sharing information. They have really tightened up the lips. Zipped the lips
Member: Maybe that is good news then?
MZ: We are hearing in Iraq some kind of agreement was reached with Sudani and crew and they are expecting fireworks on Friday –or completion in the voting……That is what I was told this morning from a contact in Iraq. We will see how this plays out.
MZ: “ The most prominent of which is civil aviation: Parliamentary transport plans to put three important laws to a vote.” I think this is an important one. They havn’t been allowed to fly the Iraqi flag on their planes ect…..since 2002. Guess what….they are going international again and are allowed to proudly fly their colors. We are seeing signs Iraq is now fully international again. Big news.
MZ: “Iraq oil settles at $78 a barrel for the second executive day” Things now appear less tumultuous in the energy markets .
MZ: We see pressure on Iraq from the US treasury and there are representatives from all over the world for some reason…..right now in Iraq. This tells us of International business –if nothing else.
MZ: Iraq has to be international, secure and safe, and stable oil prices preferably at $70 or more.
MZ: “ Kirkuk signs the first investment contract to establish an oil refinery in the province” Iraq wants to become fully energy independent. They pump their own oil, refine it and sell it. In the past they just produced it and it was sent elsewhere around the world to be treated and refined. With their own refinery their oil will become highly profitable with refined gas, lubricants ect…..and make exponentially more money than they are now.
MZ: “2 economists say Iraq’s foreign reserves are reassuring compared to previous years” Iraq has large cash reserves that are greater than 100% of the volume of the issued currency. They have more assets, more money backing up the dinar then they have in circulation. So Iraq has over 100% backing for their currency…..This is important as most countries only have 20% or so to back their currencies.
MZ: “3 scenarios for Iraq under Trump including “guardians of the region” The most likely one is Trump working with international parties and strengthening Iraq to be guardians of the region.
Member: The london metals exchange is in a lot of trouble because their physical gold is Depleted bigly.
Member: Mark what's your opinion on which currencies are in the basket with the dinar?
Member: A list from awhile ago…..may still be accurate. 1. US 2. UK 3. Kuwait 4. Canada 5. Mexico 6. Russia 7. China 8. Venezuela 9. Iranian Rial 10. IRAQ 11. Indonesia Rupiah 12. Malaysia 13.

Member: Could Iraq’s RV (revaluation) be in the double digits.
MZ: I could be if you look at all the numbers I have shared with you and listen to Dr. Shabibi years ago who said Iraq could support a $16 rate……and back then there was far more dinar in circulation then there is now…..So it could be. I will just continue to think “lower” so I am not disappointed.
Member: plan for the worst and hope for the best.

Iraq Is Under The Danger Of Sanctions: The Smuggling Of The Dollar Threatens The National Economy
Jan 26, 2025 Last update: Jan 26, 2025 Independent/- With the approaching end of 2024, economic reports showed an unprecedented rise in smuggling the dollar from Iraq, which raised great concern in international economic and financial circles.
The flow of hard currency is accelerated outside the country, with increasing complaints from the involvement of many governmental and private banks in these smuggling operations,
which threatens to impose economic sanctions on Iraq by international financial institutions.
The escalation of the phenomenon of smuggling of the dollar out of Iraq has led to the pushing of economists and international observers to talk about serious consequences for the Iraqi economy.
Where reports indicate that Iraqi banks, whether governmental or private, played a prominent role in smuggling the dollar abroad through informal channels.
This smuggling is not limited to the deterioration of the local economy, but rather threatens dangerous consequences that may lead to financial sanctions by the major countries, especially the United States of America, especially in light of the increasing suspicions of money laundering and the support of suspicious activities.
The dollar sale rate witnessed a noticeable increase over the past year, to exceed 81 billion dollars, which is an unprecedented number in the history of Iraq.
Despite the Iraqi government's attempts to take measures to reduce this phenomenon, the financial conditions do not seem to be under control.
On the other hand, the Central Bank of Iraq justifies this increase in selling the dollar as to cover the needs of Iraq from goods and services,
but there are warnings that this is a cover for wide smuggling operations aimed at financing countries subject to international sanctions such as Iran and Syria.
Fears of US sanctions
Under the pressure of international financial institutions, especially the United States, the
Central Bank of Iraq
acknowledged the existence of a dollar smuggling crisis and
announced the suspension of work on the electronic platform that banks were adopting to sell the dollar.
But is this step enough to prevent illegal practices?
Experts believe that this decision may be just a formal attempt to dispel international concerns,
especially since
many obstacles still hinder the effectiveness of the declared procedures.
Economist Dr. Nabil Al -Marsoumi says in press statements that
what is happening now is to transfer sales and purchases through correspondence (intermediate) banks, which are banks subject to less control, which facilitates money smuggling and money laundering operations.
This transformation of the sale mechanism may increase the complexity of monitoring and increase international anxiety over illegal purposes of these financial transfers.
Political complicity and corruption
There are also analyzes that indicate that political corruption and collusion between some parties in the Iraqi government and its associated banks may have a major role in this crisis.
While the government has pledged to take deterrent measures, the actual implementation on the ground seems to be shy.
There are political and financial interests for some parties that run commercial banks, and benefit from these informal networks to smuggle the dollar.
In statements to him, Iraqi MP Mustafa Sanad stressed that
a large part of this smuggled money goes to Iran,
which opens a wide door to talk about Iranian domination of the Iraqi economy and its negative effects on the stability of the country.
These facts reflect the size of the challenges facing Iraq in its attempts to combat the smuggling of the dollar and achieve real economic stability.
Insufficient procedures
Despite the efforts made by the government of Iraq, whether through the Central Bank or the Ministry of Finance, the gap between the official exchange rate of the dollar and the black market price is still large.
This gap reflects the weak measures taken to combat currency smuggling, and enhances the chances of speculators in the currency market.
In highly cruel statements, some experts indicated that the government does not have the true political will to confront this crisis seriously, as the influential forces on the ground, including the major political parties, benefit from the continuation of this corrupt system.
Therefore, the process of solving this crisis remains very complicated and needs radical interventions that start from reforming the Iraqi financial system completely.
Summary
What Iraq is facing today from the crisis of smuggling the dollar is not just a passing economic problem,
but rather an alarm bell that may afflict the Iraqi economy and expose it to international financial sanctions.
Despite the government's pledges to achieve reforms, the current situation reflects the lack of seriousness in addressing the true roots of the crisis.
If things continue this way, Iraq may witness an escalation in international economic pressures,
which will increase the suffering of the Iraqi people and push the country to more financial isolation on the international scene. https://mustaqila.com/العراق-تحت-خطر-العقوبات-تهريب-الدولار/

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
PAYPAL’S PYUSD STABLECOIN JOINS CARDANO, ENHANCING BLOCKCHAIN INTEROPERABILITY
PYUSD’s integration into Cardano enhances DeFi liquidity, providing users with new stablecoin options and increasing cross-chain transaction potential.
▪️PYUSD, launched by PayPal, is now available on Cardano via a bridge by Wanchain, expanding cross-chain options.
▪️The stablecoin brings new lending opportunities to Cardano, enabling platforms to offer yield-earning products.
▪️PYUSD’s presence on Cardano boosts liquidity, attracting more participants and enhancing the network's appeal.
Cardano is expanding with the integration of PayPal USD (PYUSD) in its system. PYUSD, a stablecoin that was first available on Solana and Ethereum, is now accessible on Cardano through a bridge created by Wanchain. This provides Cardano blockchain users with new ways to trade, lend, and manage liquidity.
The introduction of PYUSD opens up new opportunities for lending protocols on Cardano. Platforms may adopt the stablecoin to offer yield-earning options, further expanding the lending ecosystem. For traders, having another stablecoin for liquidity and positions adds flexibility and efficiency. PayPal users and blockchain participants with PYUSD can now bridge their assets to Cardano, helping attract more users and making the ecosystem more appealing.
Wanchain’s CEO, Temujin Louie, stated that the integration will provide users with additional options and more autonomy when moving assets between blockchains. With nearly $447 million in Cardano’s DeFi ecosystem, this collaboration will promote stronger connections between networks, fostering new developments and broader blockchain adoption. It will contribute to improving the interaction between diverse systems.
Broader Implications for US Cryptocurrency and Cross-Border Payments
Aside from its impact on Cardano, PYUSD’s integration could also have broader implications for the cryptocurrency market in the United States. Platforms that support PYUSD may gain a competitive edge as users increasingly favor networks offering diverse stablecoin services. This trend could reshape US digital currency platforms, encouraging greater adoption of blockchain-based payment solutions.
The integration also demonstrates the potential of stablecoins like PYUSD to streamline cross-border payments. By significantly reducing transaction times and fees compared to traditional banking systems, stablecoins could set the stage for wider adoption of similar frameworks across other networks.
However, challenges remain. The need for seamless operation and adherence to regulatory frameworks, including features like reversing transactions or locking accounts, is critical. Cross-chain bridges also pose technical challenges, such as security risks, complicated transactions, and ensuring secure and efficient performance. Addressing these issues will require constant attention and strong security measures.
PYUSD’s Market Performance and Cardano’s Expanding Stablecoin Ecosystem
The total supply of PYUSD is currently $484 million, according to data from CoinMarketCap. The stablecoin was launched in August 2023. In September, PayPal began allowing US businesses to directly buy, hold, and sell cryptocurrencies through their accounts. In October, OKX wallet revealed that it now supports the token in its spot market.
PYUSD is an addition to the growing list of stablecoins in the Cardano ecosystem, including DJED, iUSD, MyUSD, USDM, USDC, and USDT, among others. The price of Cardano’s native token, ADA, has increased by more than 7% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading at $0.9542.
The integration of PYUSD into Cardano is a major milestone. It strengthens the foundation for blockchain interoperability, fosters growth in DeFi, and enhances the user experience for both Cardano participants and PYUSD holders.

CRYPTO FOE AND FORMER SEC CHAIR GARY GENSLER RETURNS TO MIT
▪️Gensler will focus on AI, financial technology, and finance.
▪️The announcement comes one week after he stepped down as SEC chair.
▪️Gensler is touted to be one of crypto’s staunchest adversaries in Washington D.C.
One of crypto’s top adversaries is returning to academia.
Former Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler will return to MIT after a controversial four-year stint at the helm of the regulator.
His teaching and research will focus on artificial intelligence, finance, financial technology, and public policy, according to a press release from the prestigious university.
“I’m thrilled to once again collaborate with MIT’s distinguished team of scholars creating a better future for all through artificial intelligence, finance, and technology,” said Gensler in a statement.
The news comes one week after he left the markets watchdog the same day that Donald Trump was inaugurated. Before stepping down, he had become crypto’s l’ennemi commun after spearheading the agency’s crackdown on the industry.
At MIT, Gensler will serve as co-director of the FinTechAI initiative, exploring the intersection of AI and finance.
His new focus on AI comes at a crucial time for the US tech industry. Earlier this week, the market went into freefall after a Chinese artificial intelligence startup dubbed DeepSeek surfaced. The startup brandished an AI assistant that operates at a discount to US-based AI leader OpenAI and its ChatGPT product.
The slump — which wiped out more than $1 trillion from the broader stock market — was also exacerbated by derisking from investors in anticipation of Wednesday’s Federal Open Market Committee meeting by the Federal Reserve.
Gensler was co-director of MIT’s FinTech@CSAIL, and senior advisor to the MIT Media Lab Digital Currency Initiative immediately before he joined the SEC.
Anti-crypto stance
Under Gensler, the SEC pursued a number of lawsuits against top companies like Coinbase, Binance, and Ripple, while also tagging a number of tokens as unregistered securities.
His tough approach wasn’t limited to crypto.
While leading the Commodity Futures Trading Commission from 2009 to 2014, he was also known as an industry hard-hitter — annoying Wall Street and implementing new swap rules in the aftermath of the global financial crash of 2008.
“Those who have known Gensler throughout his regulatory career know he has an imperious attitude that tends to rub industry and fellow policymakers the wrong way,” Sean Tuffy, a regulation and market structure expert, previously told DL News.
“He’s not a warm and fuzzy guy,” Tuffy said.
