Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Wednesday Evening 2-12-25

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

CONGRESS EXPLORES SHORTCUTS FOR DIGITAL ASSET REGULATORY CLARITY, INCLUDING MARKET STRUCTURE

Yesterday the House Financial Services digital asset subcommittee held a hearing on charting a path forward on digital assets. There’s a consensus that stablecoin legislation is urgent, with multiple Bills circulating.

However, there’s also a need for legislation around market infrastructure, including regulating crypto exchanges. Last year the House passed the FIT 21 Bill, but there was less progress in the Senate. One of the topics discussed during the hearing was whether the SEC could provide a solution in the interim.

A takeaway from the hearing is a lightweight alternative to a full crypto infrastructure Bill such as FIT 21. For now legislation may only be needed to make the CFTC the regulator of spot crypto commodity markets. The steps might involve:

1. Delegating authority to regulate spot crypto to the CFTC via legislation
2. Creating a self regulatory organization (SRO) jointly overseen by the CFTC and SEC which would set rules for crypto exchanges and the like
3. The SEC clarifies rules on when a digital asset is a security or not
4. The SEC creates some new exemption(s) for digital asset issuers
5. And all the other items on the list recently proposed by SEC Commissioner Peirce.

Even if that’s not the long term solution, it might be the fastest interim one.

Regulatory exemptions

Congressman Hill asked Coy Garrison about the various SEC exemptions currently used for issuing digital assets. Mr Garrison previously served as counsel to SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce. 

The lawyer explained that many issuers use Regulation S, which restricts the asset to offshore investors. Those willing to target US investors often use Regulation D, which means assets are only available to wealthy investors.

“What I think the ecosystem has to understand is that not all these needed activities can be taken care of by the Commission by itself without Congress,” said Congressman Hill. And he asked what sort of exemption system the SEC could add without Congress.

Mr Garrison suggested something similar to Commissioner Peirce’s Safe Harbor provisions, which would allow access to retail investors.

Last week Commissioner Peirce mentioned reviewing Regulation A and crowdfunding rules.

Additionally, Mr Garrison noted that disclosure requirements could be tailored, as token holders have different interests compared to shareholders who need financial statements, which he clarified in his written testimony. He noted that many provisions from other exemptions could be used, including limits on the number of investors and the proportion of a person’s net worth that can be invested.

Another witness, former CFTC Chair Timothy Massad, is keen for the SEC to take a first pass, rather than Congress. He highlighted that the SEC only needs the three votes of its Republican Commissioners, compared to 60 Senate votes.

“I have confidence that they (the SEC) can come up with some interesting ideas, but this is a very difficult issue to address. And I’m worried that if Congress tries to do it, we’ll undermine our Securities markets,” said Mr Massad. He was responding to questions from Congressman Haridopolos, who observed that the challenge with leaving it all to the regulators is that administrations change.

A crypto Self Regulatory Organization?

Congressman Hill, who previously chaired this subcommittee and now chairs the main House Financial Services Committee, asked Mr Garrison about self regulatory organizations (SROs).

“You’ve advocated for a joint SRO to oversee digital assets as a convenient way to sort of sidestep these questions. Do you still advocate for that?,” he asked.

Mr Garrison requested clarification about whether the SRO would be jointly overseen by the SEC and CFTC, which Congressman Hill confirmed.

“Yes, I think that could potentially work great,” Mr Garrison responded. “Any type of communication between the two agencies and coordination on regulations would make sense.”

Clarifying how regulated entities can interact with digital assets

Congressman Stutzman asked which topics should be the highest priority for the SEC. Mr Garrison responded that clarifying the status of digital assets under the securities laws and scoping out which activities fall outside the scope of securities laws are the most important, as everything else flows from that.

He continued, “Providing guidance on how regulated intermediaries by the SEC can touch digital assets. Now that would apply both in the context of digital assets that are not securities as well as digital assets that are securities like a tokenized stock. Providing a clear pathway for broker dealers, investment advisers, clearing agencies, transfer agents to be able to engage will really allow the ecosystem to flourish.”

It must be emphasized that this light legislation approach was only touched upon briefly, and not everybody agreed. One of the witnesses was Jonathan Jachym, Deputy General Counsel at the Kraken Digital Asset Exchange, one of the largest in the United States.

“These things are not mutually exclusive,” he said. “I know there’s been discussion of let’s wait, let’s move stablecoins first. Let’s wait on market structure. We cannot wait any further. And Congress doesn’t need to move a market structure Bill that solves every single problem in the ecosystem.

We are talking about the most basic, foundational rules of regulating centralized exchanges. And these two agencies can continue to work in tandem while Congress advances the Bill in this cycle.”

BRICS: IS DONALD TRUMP’S PLAN TO SAVE THE US DOLLAR WORKING?

The last several weeks have seen geopolitical tensions reach a fever pitch. With the global south and the US facing off, a trade war is seemingly brewing between both sides. Yet, after his confrontation with the BRICS alliance, is US President Donald Trump’s plan to save the US dollar working?

Trump had expressed his desire to confront nations seeking to abandon the US dollar after his election win late last year. Indeed, he has adopted an aggressive economic policy that is looking to dissuade attempts at lessening international reliance on the greenback. Two months into his White House return, are those efforts working?

Is Donald Trump’s BRICS Attack Helping Preserve the US Dollar?

On the campaign trail last year, Donald Trump said the US dollar losing its status as the world’s currency would be akin to the nation losing a war. That has spurred the returning president to action. Specifically, he has targeted the BRICS bloc, which has been outspoken in its de-dollarization initiatives.

For the last two years, the group has sought to lessen international reliance on the US dollar. Led by Russia and China, it sought to increase the use of local currencies and went more or less unchecked. The efforts were minimal in scope, and the Biden administration acted through its inaction, perceiving the situation as non threatening.

That has not been the case with the returning administration. Indeed, with BRICS looking to slow those very local currency efforts, is Donald Trump’s plan to save the US dollar working? To this point, it has certainly benefited the greenback.

Prior to Tuesday, the US dollar had been gaining for three straight days. Just last week, the US Dollar index enjoyed its biggest daily rise in nearly a month, according to Reuters. Moreover, the imposition of Trump’s tariff threats has seen a host of nations speak out against the BRICS perceived de-dollarization.

India and Indonesia have both been adamant about the group’s purpose. They state that the alliance is only seeking to benefit involved nations economically and has no interest in targeting the dollar. Alternatively, Russia has publicly nixed plans for a BRICS currency, something Trump required when he threatened tariffs originally.

However, the merits of his economic policy are concerning when considering the merits of de-dollarization. The US dollar had been losing strength but was not threatened. Therefore, his plan to save it may have been enacted under pretenses that were misguided.

Why Momentum Says this Market is in Trouble

Why Momentum Says this Market is in Trouble

Wealthion:  2-11-2025

In a recent episode of Wealthion hosted by James Connor, financial expert Michael Oliver, the founder of Momentum Structural Analysis, provided an insightful analysis of the current state of the markets.

With momentum models indicating troubling signs that could predict significant downturns, investors might be overlooking critical data that precedes major price movements.

Oliver’s approach is distinct from traditional price chart analysis. While most investors focus on price trends and historical data, Oliver emphasizes the importance of momentum signals—factors that can indicate structural weaknesses in a market before they manifest in price changes.

This early warning system looks at various components within the market dynamics that often shift before prices react, making it a valuable tool for proactive investors.

One of the most alarming insights shared by Oliver is the similarity of current market patterns to those observed before past bear markets. He highlighted the behaviors of key indices such as the NASDAQ and S&P 500, which are currently showing signs that could foreshadow a significant downturn. Are we on the brink of a bear market that could see declines of 50% or more?

The interview delved into factors contributing to this potential bear market, prompting the question: Are the bubble markets poised to collapse? With the tech-heavy NASDAQ and other previously hot global markets displaying early indicators of weakness, Oliver raises the alarm that a correction is impending—one that could catch many investors off guard due to their reliance on price data alone.

The term “Everything Bubble” was pivotal in the conversation, with Oliver challenging the notion that current market conditions can sustain themselves indefinitely. As asset prices across a variety of sectors bubbles up, there’s an increasing risk that they could deflate simultaneously.

 Oliver advises investors to be hyper-aware of these market dynamics because the consequences of a widespread correction can be severe and widespread.

In contrast to traditional equities, Oliver asserted that commodities, especially gold and silver, could be on the verge of a major breakout. With their historical performance often inversely correlated with stock market performance during downturns, he advocates that now might be the time to reassess asset allocations. As inflationary pressures continue to rise, the defensive properties of precious metals become notably appealing.

Finally, the discussion touched on the Federal Reserve and its influence on the market. As the central bank navigates interest rates and monetary policy adjustments, Oliver raised critical questions about the Fed’s future moves—specifically, how these could inadvertently backfire and exacerbate market instability.

With continuous shifts in monetary policy, there’s a pressing need for vigilance among investors, as the Fed’s actions could trigger a domino effect that rattles the entire economic landscape.

The conversation with Michael Oliver serves as a critical reminder for investors to pay close attention to momentum signals rather than solely focusing on traditional price charts.

The insights provided about current market dynamics—the potential for a bear market, the implications of the Everything Bubble, and the shifting roles of precious metals—present a compelling case for a more cautious approach to investment strategy.

As the markets evolve, those who remain vigilant will be better positioned to navigate the uncertainties that lie ahead.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 2-11-25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 2-11-25

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

Welcome to the Big call. Everyone tonight. Welcome everyone, as I usually say to the big call. I was thinking, what day it was?

It is Tuesday, February 11th and you're listening to the big call. Thanks for coming in, everybody. Thanks for tuning in. We're going to have a really good and a little faster call tonight, but we're going to get a lot of information out to you, and I look forward to doing this that we're in pre celebration mode, guys, pre celebration, and, yeah, that's really what we're saying. So we're in good shape.

All right, thank you, Bob. I appreciate that.  Let's go ahead and knock out this intel segment. What's interesting about where we are is I have to think back to how much I've heard and not heard since our last call on Thursday night, right? Five days. A lot has happened. A lot of information has come in.

Some of it has invalidated itself with new information that has superseded it. And I want you guys to realize that what I do is I get information usually cleared through, sometimes two. And it clears, and it comes to me, and then I have to, okay, how does this line up with the other things that were a day ago or two days ago?

And I resolve anything that wasn’t clear with new information, and I go through and I listen to what there is, and I try to vet the information as well as I can, to check on it and see where's it coming through, what sources and so on, because we have a lot of different sources that bring us information, even though it's getting tougher and tougher for certain types of banking sources or redemption center sources, because they're all under NDAs, new NDAs, and they really can't tell us much, if anything, it's very close.

So I'll just tell you this much we have as of today. We make this room now yesterday was Monday. As of yesterday, we have rates on redemption center screens, which was  not on for three or four days prior, we had one bank screens. They're still on bank screens, but there were not on redemption center screens until yesterday, at nine in the morning now,

Now they're still on, but they want us to be, they being the Treasury, the government, however, want to look at it.  They want us to be pleasantly surprised by very strong rates that are at the redemption centers. And I believe we will be very impressed with those rates. It's not about rate for us, if you're a Zim holder, you know you're on par with the US Dollar  - On par means the same value as  

And then the other thing is, if you're looking at it, are I've told you guys they plan to offer us a contract rate, which I told you last week, was quite high. And I gave you the amount, roughly the rough amount, if you had the intuition to  figure it out

The other rates are very strong. And I myself think I know roughly where a few of them are, but I'm not even sure at this point they could be even better than I thought they were - Now the trick is going to be to just take the toll free number comes in, and I'll talk about that in a moment.

Take it call the number, which will put you through a call center, possibly AI controlled first, and then it should transfer you to a live, real, live, breathing person at the redemption center that will help you to finalize your appointment  at the zip code  that you indicate when you first get on with your AI person list. So call it okay.

You have to give them two things, your name and  your zip code. Now they may ask for more than that, but that is what I believe you'll need just those two things, your name and your zip code for where you want to exchange could be near where you live. It could be near where you work, or it could be a completely different area because you're traveling and you're in a different state, that's possible too, but you just need to find out what the zip code is in that area you want to be.

So that gets you into the system. You go ahead and speak to the person. Shouldn't take more than a minute -  two at the most to get what you need from the person as a person finishes up with you setting the appointment. Appointments are supposed to be about no longer than 30 to 40 minutes, and they've allotted an extra 10 minute as a buffer between appointment times.

Okay, so you should have appointments every 50 minutes. As a result, 40 to get everything done, and 10 minute buffer between the next person coming in. So you get out of there, a new person gets in, they reset whatever they need to do on the do that. We machine the computers and all that, and they're ready to go.

 Okay, that's gonna be cool now, once they get started, I think that is but once they get started, they will continue to see us to do appointments to exchange and redeem the Zim for at least two weeks. Some redemption centers are going to go 19 days. Some might just need to go a week. Depends on the demographics in the area we're talking about.

 For certain parts of the country where they're  not that many Zim holders not many currency holders. Parts like Florida the most Zim holders. Texas has a second most Zim holders - California, third most Zim holders  And then we go to other states beyond that.So  it’s all good - Just realize, if you're in Florida, so just do your best to set your appointment  and realize there are a lot of people in Florida that have Zim, and that's a priority thing.

 Obviously, they want the Zim in because the huge value in those notes. Okay, you can have one note, one ten trillion note, and be golden. You could have a 50 T or 100 T or multiple trillions of notes, and you're going to be in great shape. It's hard really to imagine how much we're talking about, but let's do it this way.

 Let me tell you we have today, everybody, all the redemption centers are fully staffed - all the currencies are live on the screens and we’re really ready get started.

We had a possibility of getting notified this evening, after six o'clock, and I didn't buy that was going to happen, but tomorrow it looks like, from what we're hearing, Tomorrow is Wednesday. We should get notified. Maybe it's before or maybe it's by noon tomorrow, and then we set our appointments and start exchanges on Thursday. That's what we've heard so far. That's what I'm going with as far as that goes.

Now, the only other thing I’m going to tell you tonight is when it comes to us – getting in touch with you after this goes I'm going to make the assumption that we might have a celebration call Thursday night. If we get these over tomorrow and we start our exchanges Thursday, I hope that we're still allowed to do one last call. Why? Which would be a celebration call?

 Okay, so I'm going to, I'm going to schedule that, or believe that that's going to happen same time same station Thursday night. Now, obviously, if we don't get the numbers for some reason tomorrow, then we will do a normal call, or don't get them Thursday morning for some reason, then we will do a Thursday night call.

But at this point, from what I'm hearing, we should be celebrating on Thursday night, but we'll do the call Thursday night assuming that we have numbers and we actually set our appointments and gone in for some exchanges and redemption of zim.

Let's see one more thing, when it comes to us being in contact with you, you know we have the big call universe .com which you should be registered on. All you is use your email to register, and we will be in touch with you. The 800 number comes out. It'll be on the website, and we'll also send out an email to you with the 800 number.

 Look for both of those, and you'll probably get your email from Wells Fargo tomorrow anyway, and see that before we have it, unless something weird happens, and I get it early for some reason, but at this point we don’t expect that, we'll see what happens on that.

The other thing is, after this goes, we need time to do everything you guys are going to do. We need time to look and lock in real estate. We need time to possibly get a new car or whatever. We need time to maybe take a week's vacation. All of that take a little time.

So I wanted to tell you guys all that again.  I cannot say I'm calling it, but this is the next best thing I know. Guys, we've been there thinking, remember, I'm bringing you the best Intel that's out there, but it does not always come true. But realize, we think this is looking very, very good for support, toll, bias, Treasury, source, this is a new person in the new US. Treasury guys, yesterday, he said, this will be a glorious week.

And of course, we didn't realize at that time that we're looking at Wednesday, Thursday, but that's what it looks like right now, Wednesday notifications, set up appointments, Thursdays. That's what we've got right now at this time.

So I want to let you guys know that appreciate you listening in for the past. Sorry, 14 years now. We finished 13 years at the end of 24 and we started well, we're two months in. We're in our second month of the 13th year. The big call. and want to thank Sue and Bob. And thank you guys so much.

Thank you satellite team for getting this call all over the globe in so many different languages with that special software. And thank you thank all universe for listening. Some of you since the very first call, December 28 of 2011  Wow, that's been a while. That's right, we're in our 14th here. So thank you guys for listening. I appreciate it. God bless you. Let's go ahead and find the phone and then light it up and then turn off the recording

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Wednesday Afternoon 2-12-25

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

COINSHARES XRP ETF: NASDAQ SAYS XRP IS HARDER TO MANIPULATE THAN BTC & ETH

▪️Nasdaq files with the SEC to list a CoinShares XRP ETF, citing the decentralized nature and massive liquidity of the cryptocurrency.

▪️The ETF would enable investors to gain exposure to XRP without directly holding the asset, boosting institutional adoption.

Nasdaq has entered the ETF race with a bold move to support XRP, filing with the SEC to list the CoinShares XRP ETF. According to the filing, Nasdaq argues that XRP’s decentralized network and vast liquidity pool make it even harder to manipulate than Bitcoin or Ethereum.

The proposed ETF would follow its price action, offering an inexpensive way for investors to access the market. It would be listed under Nasdaq Rule 5711(d) upon approval, which includes Commodity-Based Trust Shares.

The ETF structure includes third-party custody, daily NAV disclosure, and oversight by Compass Financial Technologies, making it a secure and transparent investment product. Nasdaq is showing that it believes XRP can resist market manipulation by listing XRP alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.

XRP’s Edge Over Solana, Cardano, and Litecoin in ETF Race

The SEC’s approval of this application would possibly redefine the cryptocurrency’s position in institutional finance. With increasingly more crypto ETFs being proposed, the spotlight is on how XRP stands in comparison to other digital assets. Solana, Cardano, and Litecoin are also vying to receive ETF approvals, but analysts and market sentiment overwhelmingly favor Ripple’s native token.

Despite Ripple’s ongoing legal battle with the SEC, analysts note that the ETF approval process has not been impacted. The cryptocurrency’s legal status as “not a security” eliminates a significant hurdle, according to legal expert Jeremy Hogan.

 However, Nasdaq’s filing, along with increasing market confidence, makes a strong case for the approval of XRP’s ETF.

Interestingly, traders on Polymarket are now putting an 80% chance of Ripple winning ETF approval, which indicates broad optimism. Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas puts the chances of the approval of the ETF this year at 65%. If approved, the step can help establish Ripple’s native token as a leader in the crypto ETF sector.

Growing Institutional Interest

Institutional demand for XRP has been consistently increasing, and Nasdaq and CBOE have filed multiple ETF proposals. Major asset managers like Bitwise, 21Shares, and WisdomTree have also entered the scene. All of these proposals point to a broader trend: institutional investors are becoming more comfortable with digital assets like XRP as investment vehicles.

The CoinShares XRP ETF will make it simpler to invest in the cryptocurrency, eliminating any complexity that is associated with directly holding the asset. The product has the potential to onboard a new set of investors into the Ripple ecosystem, bringing about higher adoption and liquidity.

XRP’s Price Cycle Echoes 2017 Breakout Patterns

Market participants are now speculating how far the cryptocurrency can surge if the ETF is accepted. The cryptocurrency is currently trading at $2.41 and has increased over 365% in the yearly chart.

Social media is full of forecasts; even some are speculating a price as high as $99, a 3,900% increase from current prices. While such a target is speculative, the parallels with past price cycles are hard to ignore.

Analyst Javon Marks noted that the cryptocurrency’s recent price action is drawing parallel with its 2017 breakout. The cryptocurrency has always used previous all-time highs as resistance before it pushed to new highs, according to him. If history repeats, then it is possibly setting itself up for a huge price explosion, driven by growing institutional interest and the potential ETF approval.

BRICS: INDIA DUMPS BILLIONS OF US DOLLARS

BRICS member India has once again been accused of dumping US dollars to protect its local currency, the rupee (INR).

The INR had plummeted to a lifetime low of 87.60 against the USD on Monday in the forex markets. The steep fall sent jitters in the markets making the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) intervene in the forex sector. India has been accused of intervention in the currency markets to keep the rupee from falling further.

RBI directed state-run banks to sell US dollars in the forex markets to stop the rupee’s decline, reported Reuters.

This is not the first time that BRICS member India has been accused of dumping US dollars. Last year alone, India was accused of market intervention more than four times to keep the rupee from falling. The trend has continued in 2025 raising questions about transparency in trade.

BRICS: India Accused of Market Intervention After Selling Billions of US Dollars

The latest report from Mint indicates that BRICS member India has dumped billions worth of US dollars this week.

The massive sell-off made the rupee recover from a lifetime low of 87.60 on Monday and reserve course to 86.90 on Wednesday. The intervention “is surprising and has triggered a blood bath for longs (on USD/INR),” a trader at a private bank said to Reuters.

The rupee’s rise to 86.90 is attributed to market intervention from India. Billions of US dollars were sold by the BRICS member to safeguard the rupee. State-run banks were directed to offload the currency from the RBI. 

“We note that the accentuated moves in USD/INR witnessed lately have brought the currency to near fair value. However, given the unrelenting global uncertainties in the near term, we expect the pressure on INR to continue,” Kotak Mahindra Bank said in a note.

Tishwash:  Advisor to the Prime Minister: Iraqi-American relations are very good and the speculations about them are baseless

The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed that relations between Iraq and the United States of America are very good and distinguished, and operate within a high-level diplomatic and economic framework.

Saleh told Al Furat News Agency that "the interests of the two friendly countries are moving in positive directions, especially in the field of economic, investment and trade cooperation."

He explained that "what is being raised by some parties regarding this relationship falls within the framework of political fears, concerns and baseless speculations, and is connected to the changes in the new administration in the United States and its connections with vast political geographies," stressing that Iraq is not a party to it.  link

Tishwash:  Experts: Establishing industrial cities is an advanced step to support the national economy

Economic experts and specialists praised the government's efforts to support the national economy by establishing industrial cities, stressing that this step will contribute to achieving sustainable economic development, providing job opportunities for the unemployed, and supporting local industries.

This comes within the framework of a strategy aimed at diversifying sources of income and strengthening the industrial sector as a basic pillar of economic growth.

Economic expert Salem Mohammed Al Bayati confirmed that the government's move to establish industrial cities is an advanced step towards supporting local industry. He explained that these cities, which will be established on the borders of major cities and international borders, will provide an attractive environment for global companies to establish production factories, which will contribute to creating job opportunities to absorb the workforce and reduce unemployment rates.

Al Bayati added that the industrial cities will be an opportunity to attract foreign capital and introduce the world to local products, which will raise economic growth rates by increasing the volume of investments in various industrial activities. He pointed out that these cities represent a fundamental pillar for achieving sustainable economic development in the long term and will push the wheel of growth forward.

Al-Bayati pointed out that the industrial city projects will support the Iraqi private sector and will contribute to reducing pollution within major cities by moving factories to designated areas outside residential areas. He stressed the need to provide an integrated infrastructure that includes all facilities and services, which will facilitate the process of localizing industry and achieving the goals of comprehensive economic development.

He explained that the industrial cities will help in the establishment and growth of national factories, and will create integration between government and private factories due to their geographical proximity. He added that these cities will contribute to diversifying sources of cash income, which will enhance the national economy's ability to face future challenges.

For his part, economic researcher Alaa Al-Fahd praised the government's efforts to establish industrial cities in cooperation with neighboring countries. He stressed that this approach will support the national economy in all its sectors, not just the industrial sector, and will attract capital and international companies to establish major investment projects in Iraq. Al-Fahd pointed out that Iraq has great economic potential and numerous investment opportunities in various sectors, especially the industrial sector, which makes it an attractive destination for international companies. He added that this step reflects an ambitious economic vision aimed at transforming Iraq into a regional center for industry and investment.

As part of these efforts, Minister of Industry and Minerals Khalid Batal Al-Najm inaugurated the first phase of the industrial city project in Anbar Governorate. Al-Najm explained that the first phase covers 40 percent of the total area of ​​the city, which is 3,000 dunums, where more than 233 sections have been completed and the site has been equipped with water services.

The Minister stressed that this project is an important step towards strengthening the industrial sector and providing a suitable environment for investment, noting that the city will contribute to creating new job opportunities and supporting local industries.

Despite the great praise for this step, experts stress the need to provide an integrated infrastructure and ensure a stable business environment to attract foreign investments. The success of these projects also requires cooperation between the public and private sectors, in addition to adopting economic policies that support local industry and encourage innovation  link

Tues. 11 Feb. 2025 NESARA: The Revolution in American Economic System Unraveled …JFK Awakening on Telegram

Imagine a world where all your credit card, mortgage, and bank debt vanished. Where the Federal Reserve, the core of modern capitalism, is gone. Sounds impossible? Hold on. This could be reality, triggering the ultimate financial revolution under NESARA, the National Economic Security and Recovery Act.

The Rising Shadow of NESARA. Society is on the verge of a seismic shift, one that could transform the global economy forever. NESARA is the storm on the horizon, quietly talked about by those ‘in the know.’ What does it promise? A debt jubilee, where all credit card, mortgage, and bank debt are wiped out. The Federal Reserve’s worst nightmare is coming true.

The name NESARA makes the elite in Wall Street nervous. Why? Because if it’s fully implemented, NESARA will cripple the profit-making systems that thrive on your debt. The pillars of capitalism are cracking, and the shockwaves are just beginning.

Abolishment of Income Tax and the IRS. NESARA will also eliminate income tax, ending the IRS as we know it. Those who have feared tax audits will be relieved, as the IRS will be transitioned to a national sales tax department.

The Promise of a Flat Sales Tax. NESARA proposes a 14% flat sales tax on new, non-essential items. This means no tax on food, medicine, or used items, protecting the everyday citizen. The government will now depend on luxury consumption for revenue—a drastic shift from the current system.

The Birth of a New U.S. Treasury Currency. The U.S. Treasury will introduce a gold, silver, and platinum-backed currency—a rainbow currency that will finally end the U.S. bankruptcy of 1933. This marks the beginning of a new financial era.

Humanitarian Efforts and Technology Suppression. NESARA will release billions for humanitarian projects and reveal over 6,000 suppressed technologies, from free energy devices to healing machines—technologies hidden under the pretense of national security.

NESARA is more than just legislation. It’s a paradigm shift that challenges everything we know about the economy and power structures. Is the world ready for NESARA? Whether viewed as liberation or chaos, its impact will be unavoidable. The future is here, and it’s NESARA.

Tues. 11 Feb. 2025 Golden Redemption: The Birth of USN US Note Backed by QFS Gold-Backed Digital Currency. …QFS on Telegram

The collapse of the fiat system has been a long time coming. Historically, fiat money, which lacks intrinsic value, became the global standard in the 20th century. This shift allowed governments and central banks to print money freely, unbound by the tangible value of precious metals.

Over time, this led to rampant inflation, economic bubbles, and numerous financial crises. The 2008 financial crisis, fueled by reckless lending practices and inadequate oversight, exposed the vulnerabilities of the fiat system. Governments responded by printing even more money, further eroding the value of currencies and deepening the crisis of confidence.

In the wake of the 2008 crisis, digital currencies like Bitcoin emerged, offering a decentralized alternative free from the grip of central banks and government control. However, these digital currencies were not without their own issues-high volatility, lack of intrinsic value, and associations with illigal activities limited their ability to truly replace the flawed systems they sought to disrupt.

Enter the USN US Note, a new currency that promises to bridge the gap between the stability of traditional assets and the innovation of digital finance. As the sun rises over the horizon, casting its golden hue across the land, the USN US Note emerges like a phoenix from the ashes of a broken financial system.

 This currency is more than just a means of exchange; it is a symbol of financial redemption, a return to an era where money was backed by real value-gold. The USN US Note, backed by the Quantum Financial System (QFS) and the undeniable value of gold, stands as a beacon of hope against the backdrop of economic despair and deceit that has plagued us for generations.

For far too long, our financial systems have been mired in manipulation, deceit, and instability. The fiat currency system, with its lack of intrinsic value, has led us down a path of endless debt and economic uncertainty. Central banks, with unchecked power, have manipulated markets, eroded savings, and fostered financial inequality.

But now, with the advent of the USN US Note, there is a bold departure from this flawed past.

At the core of the USN US Note’s promise is the Quantum Financial System (QFS), a revolutionary financial network that utilizes quantum computing technology to ensure the highest levels of security, transparency, and efficiency. Unlike traditional financial systems, which are susceptible to hacking, fraud, and m**********n, the QFS is virtually impenetrable. It guarantees that every transaction is secure, transparent, and immutable, restoring trust in our financial systems.

The cornerstone of the USN US Note is its gold backing. Each note is backed by a specific amount of gold, ensuring that it retains intrinsic value. This gold-backed stability provides a safeguard against inflation, making the USN US Note a reliable store of value.

 It embodies a time-honored principle: money should be grounded in real, tangible assets. By merging the stability of a gold-backed currency with the efficiency and transparency of digital systems, the USN US Note addresses the shortcomings of both fiat and digital currencies.

This new currency represents not just a financial instrument but a revolution in how we perceive and interact with money.

The USN US Note, underpinned by the QFS, is set to redefine the future of finance, offering stability, transparency, and true economic redemption. A new era in finance has dawned, bringing with it the promise of a stable and prosperous future.

Fnu Lnu   [Response to Newshound Guru Militia Man 2-10-2025 Gold post below]  [Guru]  Militia Man made a comment... Iraq "bought" approximately 10 tons of gold. That they scrounged up some pocket change. He isn't the first person to remark about Iraq having so much money to buy an amazing amount of gold. I know a little inside baseball about
that.  When Iraq was attacked under the excuse of "weapons of mass destruction"...The real reason Iraq was attacked was because Saddam had amassed a huge amount of gold over the years. The reason? He hated the London City Central Banksters and their Central Banks so he was going to mint a Golden Dinar. It would have been the premier money of the world. Real Money!   [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

Fnu Lnu  It would have severely harmed the Central Bank so the CB had Bush attack them to 1) Kill Saddam and 2) recover/steal his gold stash...It didn't work out. They couldn't find the stash. So...they attacked them again and the second time, they found one of the small caches which was rumored to be around 20 tons...There was, however, a huge amount of gold left that wasn't found. Slowly, over time, Iraq has been repatriating the gold into the National Reserves. They aren't buying this gold, they already owned it and are slowly reinserting it into the Treasury. There is no way to know how much they really have but it must be a huge amount. Watch...over time, they will continue to grow the gold reserves but try to find the receipts. [Post 2 of 2]

Iraq Economic News and Points to Ponder Wednesday AM 2-12-25

Serious Steps To Reduce Dependence On Oil
 
Economic 1225/02/12  Baghdad: Imad of the emirate   In the context of efforts to revitalize the national economy, the government is working to adopt ambitious strategies to reduce dependence on oil rent, by activating the productive and service sectors and enhancing non-oil revenues.
 
This comes in light of the economic challenges facing the country, especially with the fluctuations of global oil prices, which calls for diversification of sources of income and building a more stable economy and the ability to face external influences.

The Financial Adviser to the Prime Minister, Dr. Mazhar Mohamed Saleh, stressed that the government attaches great importance to stimulating the productive sectors, especially the agricultural sector.
 
He pointed out that the current plans focus on supporting farmers by providing facilitated financing and modern agricultural technologies, which contributes to increasing productivity and achieving food security.
 
Highly productive seasonal programs were also adopted within the general budget of the state, with the aim of enhancing self-sufficiency and reducing dependence on import.
 
Saleh explained that the government is working to enhance financial discipline by controlling public spending and increasing revenue collection.
 
He stressed that excessive exchange or negligence in collecting public imports will be reduced, with a focus on directing resources towards productive projects that benefit the national economy.
 
It was also noted that the importance of launching economic companies in cooperation with the private sector, to support sustainable development programs that contribute to creating job opportunities and increasing productivity.
 
The financial advisor called for the necessity of controlling the import system, which is witnessing a random expansion that drains the country's foreign reserves.
 
He stressed that foreign resources should be directed towards productive imports that enhance the economy, rather than excessive consumption that does not contribute to building a strong production base.
 
He also stressed the importance of adopting accurate commercial policies that encourage sustainable production requirements.
 
Saleh pointed out that the government is working to convert support in the general budget from comprehensive support to qualitative support, which balances the support of low-income social classes and the productive support that occupies the economy.
 
Among the programs that have been focused on, is entrepreneurial and financing programs, which contribute to encouraging small and medium enterprises and enhancing the role of youth in the economy.

For his part, Dr. Ahmed Al -Rawi, the economist, stressed the need to take quick measures to address the decline in oil revenues.
 
He called for a review of the general budget items, with a focus on removing unnecessary expenses and raising the efficiency of spending.
 
He pointed to the importance of achieving stability in the growth of the budget, so that it is commensurate with the annual growth of the gross domestic product, which contributes to achieving a sustainable financial balance.
 
Al-Rawi also stressed the importance of activating non-oil revenue systems, such as the tax system and public fees, to increase revenues and reduce dependence on oil.
 
He also called for the revitalization of other economic sectors, such as industry and tourism, to provide job opportunities for young people and diversify sources of income.
 
He pointed out that the development of the oil sector must be done in a manner commensurate with the country's reserve energies, with a focus on increasing the added value through local manufacturing.
 
The narrator stressed that achieving economic development requires fighting corruption in state institutions in all its joints.
 
He stressed that corruption is a major obstacle to achieving economic efficiency and attracting investments.
 
He called for adopting serious measures to enhance transparency and governance in public resources management.     https://alsabaah.iq/110028-.html

Economic Expert: The Unified Accounting System Is An Effective Tool For Combating Corruption

{Economic: Euphrates News} Economist, Bassem Antoine, stressed that the implementation of the unified accounting system contributes to
 
     reducing corruption and manipulation and
     sets limits for the abuses that take place on the accounts.

Antoine told Al-Furat News that  "the main issue lies in the application of decisions, as there is a problem in issuing and applying instructions." 
 
He explained that
 
     "follow-up,
     monitoring and
     scrutiny
 
is an important issue, and that the monitoring account does not exceed the bureaucracy and obstructing the work."  He stressed  "the need not to create complications in audit and control operations."

Bank Deposits Retreated
 
Economic 1225/02/12  Yasser Al –Mitwalli   Iraqi banks have gone through a golden period in the field of returning confidence by depositors in banks after partial stability was achieved with a monetary policy by the central bank in supporting the banking sector that contributed greatly to encouraging depositors in reconciliation with banks.
 
Here, the topic reduced exclusively (the public deposits) because of its importance in motivating banks to contribute to development programs by expanding loans.
 
It is useful to note that the banking sector has gone through challenges after the stage of change, especially in the field of borrowers ’failure to pay their loans that help them.
 
On the other hand, it led to the paralysis of the banking activity, and a part of the banks were crushed.
 
To the secretariat, the efforts of the central bank years ago resulted in the return of confidence between the parties to the process, the depositors, and the borrowers.
 
However, reports indicate that deposits decreased in Iraqi banks to (123 trillion dinars in November 2024, which is the lowest level in 22 months), according to these reports.
 
But what happened to the return of this loss of confidence?
 
The answer is definitely related to imposing US sanctions on a large number of these banks, and
 
here is an analytical of the reasons, as I see it, has nothing to do with whether the readings are right or without the right to not explain the real reasons behind these sanctions that I am certain that there is a political side behind the decisions, with acknowledgment of violations. Do not deserve this harsh decision.  Perhaps some depositors' concerns about the return of the chaos of the clouds indicating the return of loss of confidence and fears of bankruptcy of banks.
 
On the other hand, the Central Bank indicated that deposits growth by 4.2 percent during the third chapter of 2024 compared to the same period of the previous year,
 
but what increases the mud with the worse of confusion and confusion, which promoted it from the loss of liquidity that may disrupt lending and productive projects, with funds turning into investments An alternative like real estate and gold.

From here, banks must develop their banking services to
 
     ensure the continuation of the market and
     adhere to restoring confidence in addition to developing and
     expanding the role of the deposit guarantee company, transparently and clearly.
 
Perhaps the repeated financial crises that some countries have gone through have been able to diagnose the defect and find solutions while raising the level of banking culture among the public in full transparency, regardless of the size and details of the financial crises to ensure their exception.
 
Banks need to develop their media awareness offices.     https://alsabaah.iq/110029-.html

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Wednesday Morning 2-12-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

PRO-CRYPTO BRIAN QUINTENZ RETURNS TO CFTC AS TRUMP’S CHAIRMAN PICK

Former CFTC Commissioner Brian Quintenz is set to lead the agency again, signaling a shift in crypto regulation under the Trump administration.

Brian Quintenz, a former commissioner at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, is expected to return as chairman following his selection by U.S. President Donald Trump, according to Bloomberg.

If confirmed, he would serve a term running until April 13, 2029, returning to the agency at a time when crypto regulation is a central issue in financial policy.

His nomination aligns with broader efforts by the Trump administration to reshape regulatory oversight of digital assets and derivatives markets.

Quintenz previously served as a Republican commissioner at the CFTC from 2017 to 2021, playing a key role in overseeing the launch of the first fully regulated Bitcoin and Ethereum futures contracts.

During his tenure, he emerged as a strong advocate for a pro-innovation regulatory framework, pushing for clear, well-defined rules that would encourage institutional adoption of digital assets while maintaining market integrity.

His stance earned him comparisons to SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce—dubbed “Crypto Mom” in industry circles—for her similar advocacy of crypto-friendly regulation.

After leaving the CFTC, Quintenz joined Andreessen Horowitz’s (a16z) crypto division in December 2022, where he led policy efforts to influence U.S. crypto regulations.

The venture capital giant, which has investments in projects like Solana, Uniswap, Lido DAO, Optimism, and Eigenlayer, has consistently pushed for CFTC oversight of digital assets rather than SEC jurisdiction.

The crypto industry has long viewed the CFTC as a more accommodating regulator compared to the SEC, which has taken a stricter enforcement-driven approach under Chair Gary Gensler.

The nomination follows months of speculation. In December, reports surfaced that Trump was considering Quintenz among other candidates for the role.

Meanwhile, Trump’s newly appointed AI and Crypto Czar, David Sacks, has outlined plans to work with Congress on market structure legislation, signaling a push for clearer digital asset regulations.

Quintenz’s return could mark a shift in how the $400 trillion derivatives market, which includes a growing share of crypto-related products, is regulated.

Acting CFTC Chair Caroline Pham has expressed support for the nomination, stating that she worked with Quintenz on key initiatives during his previous tenure and believes he will bring the same focus on crypto and innovation back to the agency.

The nomination will now go through the confirmation process, with Quintenz expected to lead the agency as the U.S. debates the future of crypto market oversight.

MEMECOIN REGULATION: SEC’S HESTER PEIRCE CHALLENGES GENSLER’S STANCE

Indirectly denouncing former SEC chairman Gary Ggensler stance on whether cryptocurrencies are securities, US Securities and Exchange Commission Commissioner Hester Peirce states that a good number of the memecoins in the market do not come under the purview of the country’s securities regulatory agency. 

What makes her statement extremely significant is that Peirce chairs the crypto task force recently appointed by US President Donald Trump to determine which cryptocurrencies fall under the definition of ‘securities’ – thus under the jurisdiction of the SEC – and which do not.

SEC’s Stance on Memecoins

US SEC Commissioner Herster Peirce’s statement on the Memecoin regulatory environment explains what the current position of the securities regulatory agency on the matter is.

It appears that the current SEC leadership does not think it has the legal authority or responsibility to regulate a good number of the memecoins in the market.

Importantly, reports indicate that Peirce even thinks that the US Congress and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission are the competent authorities to address the sensitive matter of memecoin regulation.

Contrasting Views: Former SEC Chair Gensler’s Stance Analysed

Former SEC Chairman Gary Gensler was infamous for his conservative stance on crypto regulation. Under his leadership, the SEC maintained a position that a good number of cryptocurrencies are securities. It was this position that prompted the regulatory agency to open a series of legal battles against prominent crypto companies including Binance, Coinbase and Kraken.

The Memecoin Phenomenon: A Short Overview

The total market cap of the memecoin sector stands at $75,568,127,803 – which makes at least 2.31% of the total market cap of the cryptocurrency sector of $3,267,930,674,001.

As of now, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Pepe, Official Trump and Bonk are the top five memecoins by market cap.  

The market caps of:
DOGE stands at $37,387,932,934;
SHIB at $9,238,118,808;
PEPE at $4,021,074,346;
TRUMP at $3,080,509,036; and
BONK at $1,345,093,611.

In the last one year, Dogecoin has surged by 214%; Shiba Inu by 68%; Pepe by 850%; and Bonk by 41.4%.

Memecoin Regulation: Concerns and Challenges

Critics express serious concerns about the memecoin market primarily because of its unregulated environment and extreme volatility.

In the last seven days, DOGE has dropped by 4.5%; SHIB by 2%; PEPE by 6.5%; TRUMP by 14.5%; and BONK by 6%.

Moreover, many believe that the market is highly susceptible to fraudulent projects and pump-and-dump schemes.

Recently, a memecoin investor filed a lawsuit with the support of Wolf Popper and Burwick, prominent US law firms, against Pump.Fun, a platform built on Solana to allow users to create and trade meme coins easily, accusing it of violating securities laws by offering extremely volatile memecoins.

In conclusion, Hester Peirce says ‘most memecoins are not securities’, a stance different from Gary Gensler’s. Meanwhile, the memecoin market keeps growing, but concerns over fraud and volatility remain. A new lawsuit against Pump.Fun adds to regulatory uncertainty as the debate over memecoin regulation continues.

Is This the Biggest Heist of All Time?

Is This the Biggest Heist of All Time?

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) February 11, 2025

We recently received a question from a reader asking for my thoughts on crypto.

He said we’ve been talking about gold a lot lately, the gold price, and how the price could go a lot higher. Shouldn’t we hold the same views on crypto, given everything that has happened with Bitcoin over the last year or so?

We ended up doing a whole podcast about this today, We talk a lot about gold, and a lot about crypto. To clarify, I’m not anti-crypto. In fact, I brought Bitcoin to our audience’s attention back in 2013, when the price was under $100.   But there are some differences to gold.

Right now, I think there are some major catalysts that could drive the price of gold much higher. It’s a matter of arithmetic, and we walk you through the math on it.

The other important thing is that while gold is at an all time high, gold related businesses have been in the dumps for a long time. And that’s a bizarre anomaly that is simply not going to last.

Conversely, that same dynamic doesn’t seem to exist with crypto related businesses.

And we talk about, in today’s podcast, Microstrategy, as perhaps the best example.

This is essentially now a Bitcoin holding company, with 478,000 Bitcoin, valued at around $45 billion. Yet Microstrategy’s market cap is almost double that.

So if the point is to buy Microstrategy stock as a proxy for Bitcoin, you’re actually paying double the price.

Versus with gold, we have the opportunity to pay less than two times forward earnings for gold companies that have an all in production cost of $1,500 per ounce— roughly half the price of gold.

So it’s a completely different dynamic, and we explore all this and more in today’s podcast.

We even talk about the Microstrategy convertible notes, and why it’s frankly wildly inappropriate at this point to even compare “crypto” and gold.
