Two Trillion Dinars Iraqi Loss In Wheat Sales
February 15, 2025 Two trillion dinars lost from wheat sales and parallel banks threaten the economy
Baghdad - Qusay Munther An economic expert confirmed that the government's loss from selling wheat crops to private mills amounted to two trillion dinars. He pointed out that this loss, which some describe as support for farmers, is not in line with clear economic goals such as reducing imports and increasing local production.
Expert Manar Al-Obaidi said in a statement received by Al-Zaman yesterday that (the government bought wheat from farmers at a price of 850 thousand dinars per ton, then sold it to mills at a price of 450 thousand dinars per ton, which resulted in a loss of 400 thousand dinars per ton), adding that (if 5 million tons were purchased, the total loss for the state would be two trillion dinars),
Al-Obaidi explained that (some consider this loss to be support for farmers, but if the support is real, why have we not seen an increase in the contribution of the agricultural sector to the GDP, and the state is still importing large quantities of wheat and flour from countries such as Turkey, America and Australia?),
Al-Obaidi wondered (why do poverty levels remain high in rural areas that produce wheat, and specific goals for this support are not achieved, such as reducing flour imports, increasing local food production, and providing job opportunities, instead of the money paid to support wheat going to other markets across the border),
Al-Obaidi went on to say that (the parallel banking system in Iraq is one of the most prominent economic challenges that affect the stability of the financial system, as it consists of institutions Financial institutions operate outside the framework of official supervision,
but provide services similar to official banks such as lending, money transfers and receiving deposits), and he pointed out that (these institutions have emerged gradually over the past twenty years, as a result of the absence of effective supervision and the increasing demand from small and medium enterprises that constitute about 84 percent of the informal economy),
and Al-Abidi explained that (this system enhances the shadow economy and increases the difficulty of monitoring the movement of money, which exposes the economy to illegal practices such as tax evasion and money laundering),
calling for (the need to adopt firm solutions to close the gap between the official and informal banking systems, such as regulating the work of informal financial institutions and providing incentives to encourage small enterprises to join the formal sector.
He added that the optimal solution in some cases may be to completely close these unlicensed institutions to ensure the protection of the economy from risks). Meanwhile, the Ministry of Commerce intends to launch a new batch of the food basket before the advent of Ramadan, stressing the continuation of its supervisory teams in monitoring the markets to ensure price stability and protect citizens' purchasing power.
The ministry’s spokesman, Mohammed Hanoun, said in a statement yesterday that “the ministry has set next Thursday as the date for distributing the food basket items, which will contribute greatly to stabilizing food prices in local markets during the month of Ramadan.”
He added that “the food basket has contributed to providing food security for citizens, as Iraq is one of the food-stable countries in the region and the world,” noting that “the food basket has helped poor families and families below the poverty line to obtain the food they need, and has worked to a large extent to stabilize food prices in local markets during the period of preparation for the holy month.”
He stressed that “trade anticipated the arrival of the month of Ramadan with a set of measures, through which it supported the stability of food prices locally, including the process of monitoring and auditing local market prices in coordination with National Security and the Organized Crime Department in the Ministry of Interior.” LINK

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
AI DEVELOPMENT WILL LEAD TO WIDER STABLECOIN ADOPTION
As crypto continues to make headlines at the individual state level as well as the federal level, the race between crypto and AI for most mentions in financial media continues to volley back and forth depending on the week in question.
Recently the spat between Elon Musk and Sam Altman made additional headlines as the two tech titans feuded publicly regarding the future of OpenAI, headlines connected to the potential investment into OpenAI by Softbank, as well as the idea of a purchase (to be led by Musk) of OpenAI for approximately $100 billion.
Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
AI DEVELOPMENT WILL LEAD TO WIDER STABLECOIN ADOPTION
As crypto continues to make headlines at the individual state level as well as the federal level, the race between crypto and AI for most mentions in financial media continues to volley back and forth depending on the week in question.
Recently the spat between Elon Musk and Sam Altman made additional headlines as the two tech titans feuded publicly regarding the future of OpenAI, headlines connected to the potential investment into OpenAI by Softbank, as well as the idea of a purchase (to be led by Musk) of OpenAI for approximately $100 billion.
Crypto has also generated significant headlines in recent days, as Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell (seemingly) backtracked on previous statements and actions related to crypto banking opportunities in testimony to Congressional leaders.
At the same time, even more states have begun the process of introducing legislation to allow direct investment into bitcoin and other digital assets, with Wyoming continuing to forge ahead with efforts to issue a dollar-backed stable token maintaining positive momentum.
Even as bitcoin and the concept of a digital asset stockpile move forward, stablecoins are also accelerating in terms of market capitalization, usage, and the education of policymakers and potential users alike.
In the midst of these market headlines, it would be easy to overlook a simple yet powerful truth about the future of AI, crypto, and how these industries will continue to evolve and influence each other over time. Let’s take a look at how (and why) stablecoins will play a critical role in the further development and integration of AI across businesses in the near to medium term.
Stablecoins Will Power Payments
As the adoption and understanding of the benefits of tokenized payments become better understood the appetite and investment into stablecoin payments has continued to increase.
Privately issued stablecoins, by non-bank entities, are worth in excess of $200 billion dollars with the volume of transactions continuing to increase.
TradFi institutions across the globe have developed and implemented blockchain-based solutions and token-based solutions for internal clients, with PayPal, Visa, and Mastercard embracing similar trends; PayPal has even issued a native stablecoin to facilitate stablecoin transactions even further.
Bitcoin and other more volatile cryptoassets, including the much-maligned memecoin space, generate headlines, but stablecoins reflect the best of both worlds for crypto transactions.
The speed and efficiency of tokenized transactions, when coupled with the stability of stablecoins or stable tokens, present a business case that is difficult to argue against.
Reinforced by the prioritization of dollar-backed stablecoins in the recent executive order issued by the White House and the landscape looks primed for a dynamic year for stablecoin adoption.

BRICS STATEMENT PUSHES DE-DOLLARIZATION, DESPITE TRUMP WARNING
As geopolitical tensions rise, both the West and the global South have shown no desire to relent in their positions. Indeed, a recent BRICS statement regarding the 2025 summit has pushed further de-dollarization despite US President Donald Trump’s most recent tariff warning.
This week, Trump once again reiterated his strong message to the economic alliance. Specifically, he noted that any effort to continue trading outside of the US dollar would result in 100% tariffs on the alliance. Despite this, the BRICS 2025 chairmanship holder, Brazil, has continued to discuss the need for economic reform on a global scale.
BRICS Remain Committed to De-Dollarization as Trump’s Threats Persist
The geopolitical arena is observing a standoff that could result in an eventual trade war.
Throughout last year, Donald Trump has championed the importance of the US dollar’s status as the world’s currency. Specifically, he noted that if the greenback was no longer a global reserve asset, it would be akin to the nation losing a war.
That led him to combat the growing BRICS alliance. Specifically, he went after the group for discussions they’d had in creating an alternate trade currency for the collective.
He warned of increased import taxes that would threaten their potential to benefit the economy from the US if they did not announce they were ceasing the project.
The group would deny the single currency plan but not its efforts to diversify trade settlement currencies. Now, the two have come to a head, as a recent BRICS statement signals further de-dollarization despite Trump’s most recent tariff threats.
Brazil has been elected as the current alliance president in their rotating leadership model. Let one not forget it was Brazil and President De Lula who first championed the idea of ditching the US dollar two years ago. Conversely, in a statement on the 2025 BRICS summit, they included economic and financial reform, according to a Yahoo report.
Specifically, they are seeking reformation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). More specifically, it is looking to bolster the BRICS New Development Bank (NDB). Known as the BRICS Bank, it has pioneered initiatives to further the use of local currencies in trade.
“US President Donald Trump has voiced anger at the proposal,” the report said. Moreover, it further creates the belief that those tariffs may well be implemented—a move that could have massive implications.

Mnt Goat Article: "AMERICA STOPS THE DOLLAR CASH TO IRAQ: WILL THE DOLLAR RISE AGAINST THE DINAR?" Remember this is the use of CASH dollar. They will still have electronic transfer from the Feds of dollars to Iraq. But this is a move that I believe is in agreement with the CBI to finally shut down the parallel market for good. This comes on the heals of the issue with Rafidian bank’s continue smuggling of the cash dollars to Iran. This is an amazing article. A “WOW!” article...The US is finally doing it. They should have cut off the dollars off years ago. We would be much farther ahead now in the RV process. But now it is being done. A good sign for us investors. How will this impact the Iraqi economy? Seems to me the US wants the dinar to rise in value and this may be leading us to something VERY IMPORTANT.

Largest Credit Crisis in History
WTFinance: 2-14-2025
The WTFinance podcast recently welcomed back Alasdair Macleod, a renowned expert in sound money, economics, geopolitics, and precious metals. Macleod delivered a sobering assessment of the global landscape, covering a wide range of critical issues, from the underappreciated resilience of gold to the looming specter of a credit crash.
During the engaging discussion, Macleod painted a picture of a world teetering on the brink of significant change, driven by geopolitical shifts, unsustainable debt levels, and a fundamental reshaping of the global economic order. Here’s a breakdown of the key talking points:
Macleod believes gold is currently flying under the radar of mainstream investment, despite its crucial role in the unfolding global narrative.
He emphasizes that while Western investors might be overlooking it, central banks in the East, particularly China and Russia, are actively accumulating gold, laying the groundwork for a potential shift in the global monetary system.
The conversation delved into the changing dynamics of global power. Macleod suggests the US is subtly distancing itself from Europe, focusing instead on its internal stability and potentially shifting its strategic focus to the Pacific. He also predicts that China is poised to further solidify its dominance in global manufacturing, driven by its robust infrastructure and manufacturing capabilities.
Macleod is deeply critical of the European Union, predicting significant turmoil and even a potential “bust.” He points to the inherent structural weaknesses of the Eurozone, highlighting the unsustainable debt burdens of some member states and the lack of fiscal unity as key vulnerabilities.
A central theme of the discussion was the unsustainable global debt bubble. Macleod warns that we are rapidly approaching a point where the debt burden becomes unserviceable, inevitably leading to a significant credit crash. He believes that governments will resort to the “monetization of all debt,” essentially printing money to cover obligations, which will ultimately debase currencies and fuel inflation.
The depreciation of the British Pound was discussed as a symptom of broader economic challenges. Macleod sees it as a reflection of the UK’s own debt burden and its vulnerability to global economic shocks.
Macleod highlighted the significant flow of gold from West to East. He connects this phenomenon to the deliberate strategy of countries like China and Russia to build their gold reserves, potentially paving the way for a gold-backed currency in the future. This shift could fundamentally alter the global monetary order, potentially dethroning the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency.
The podcast paints a picture of an emerging multi-polar world, where the dominance of the United States is gradually diminishing. This new world order will be characterized by increased competition and a rebalancing of power between different nations and economic blocs.
When asked for one takeaway message, Alasdair Macleod likely stressed the importance of understanding the interconnectedness of these factors and the critical role of sound money principles, including holding precious metals like gold and silver, as a hedge against the looming economic uncertainty.
He likely advised listeners to prepare for significant changes in the global economic and political landscape and to take steps to protect their wealth from the coming storm.
The WTFinance podcast with Alasdair Macleod offers a stark warning about the fragility of the current global economic system.
While the predictions are undeniably concerning, they serve as a valuable wake-up call, urging listeners to educate themselves, understand the risks, and take proactive measures to navigate the turbulent times ahead.

MZ: These are not bond holders but commissions for the bond deals. Maybe this has to be paid in fiat and then we move to asset backed? We are not sure how this works.
MZ: They would not share which historic bonds though. But a number of contacts now have spendable dollars.

BRAZIL REJECTS BRICS CURRENCY BUT PLANS TO REDUCE US DOLLAR DEPENDENCY
Brazil is all set to chair the 17th BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro in July this year. The presidency will not advance a BRICS currency but plans to reduce dependency on the US dollar, said four Brazil government officials on the condition of anonymity.
The agenda of the upcoming summit aims to pave the way to end reliance on the US dollar.

BRAZIL REJECTS BRICS CURRENCY BUT PLANS TO REDUCE US DOLLAR DEPENDENCY
Brazil is all set to chair the 17th BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro in July this year. The presidency will not advance a BRICS currency but plans to reduce dependency on the US dollar, said four Brazil government officials on the condition of anonymity.
The agenda of the upcoming summit aims to pave the way to end reliance on the US dollar.
The next BRICS summit will discuss the advancement of cross-border payments and cement policies that prefer local currency usage. The move will bring inflation in the US making daily essentials skyrocket and could also lead to job cuts.
Brazil Will Not Work on BRICS Currency But Aim to End Reliance on US Dollar
The Brazilian officials revealed that the idea of a common BRICS currency has not entered technical discussions yet, though Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was among the first leaders to flout the idea.
The government officials told Reuters that the next summit will see trade policies solely focused on local currencies.
However, the officials said that reducing reliance on the US dollar does not mean the alliance targets the West. “It’s not directed against anyone,” said the source.
The bloc is also eyeing multilateral bodies like the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) for cross-border transactions. Therefore, BRICS currency might not be a reality now but de-dollarization will be kept alive in different forms.
Sources state that BRICS does not want to launch a currency due to Trump’s erratic behavior. The President warned that if the alliance stops using the US dollar, it will face tariffs on goods entering the country. “There is no chance that BRICS will replace the US Dollar in International Trade, or anywhere else, and any Country that tries should say hello to Tariffs, and goodbye to America!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

US IRS PREPARES TO LAY OFF THOUSANDS OF WORKERS, SOURCES SAY
Feb 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. Internal Revenue Service is preparing to fire thousands of workers in the coming days, a move that could squeeze resources at the tax-collecting agency during the critical tax-filing season, two people familiar with the matter said.
Officials from the Office of Personnel Management, which oversees federal hiring, ordered all agencies on Thursday to dismiss their probationary employees, workers who are newer to their positions and do not enjoy full job protections.
The IRS remains busy for months after the deadline, processing returns and delivering refunds to taxpayers.
The IRS layoffs, first reported by the New York Times, come as part of a broader effort by President Donald Trump and Elon Musk's overhaul of the federal government, which they argue is too bloated and inefficient, and ripe with waste and fraud.
The IRS did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The second person familiar with the impending layoffs expressed concerns that the cuts would be made without care to how it might hinder the agency's operations.
"They are trying to reduce numbers across the board with no analysis to the impact it will have on operations," the person said.

GEORGIA PLANS BITCOIN INVESTMENTS FOR STATE TREASURY FUNDS
▪️Georgia proposes a bill allowing the state treasurer to invest in Bitcoin to diversify public funds.
▪️The bill aims to use Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation, with strict regulations for risk management.
Georgia has introduced a bill that would authorize the state treasurer to invest public funds in Bitcoin. Many parties were quickly drawn to this action as, up to now, Bitcoin has been more recognized as a speculative asset than a state investment tool.
Once regarded as ‘digital gold’ for young techies, Bitcoin is beginning to find its way into government coffers. This measure intends to diversify Georgia’s financial reserves by including some money into the digital asset. Legislators, on the other hand, view Bitcoin’s usefulness as a hedge against the inflationary upheaval still afflicting the world economy.

Tishwash: Iraq moves towards globalization.. Implementation of international accounting standards begins in 2026
The former director of the Financial Supervision Bureau, Salah Nouri, revealed the steps taken by Iraq to move to fully implement international accounting standards by 2026.
Nouri said in a statement to {Euphrates News} that: "The unified accounting system, which was adopted in the mid-eighties, was appropriate for the economic situation at the time; but it led to Iraq's delay in keeping pace with international standards."
He added, "The Accounting and Auditing Standards Board adopted 14 accounting rules according to international standards until 2016; but that was not enough to keep pace with global developments. In 2017, the board made a bold decision to adopt all international accounting standards, with the aim of enhancing financial transparency and attracting foreign investments, especially in the oil and banking sectors."
Nouri pointed out that "the committee tasked with preparing the new unified accounting system completed its work in 2019, and the implementation of international standards was announced in 2021, but the Corona pandemic postponed this implementation."
He stressed that "the year 2026 will witness the final implementation of these standards, which will make the Iraqi accounting environment consistent with the requirements of global financial markets."
“This step will encourage foreign companies to invest in Iraq and will provide transparent financial data that will help in making sound investment decisions,” Nouri concluded.
International accounting standards are a common language for companies around the world, making it easier for investors to understand companies’ financial statements and make informed investment decisions.
This step comes as part of Iraq’s efforts to enhance financial transparency and attract foreign investment, especially in light of the economic challenges facing the country. link

Tishwash: Framework MP calls on Parliament to pass important laws before the end of its constitutional term
Representative of the Coordination Framework, Salem Al Anbaki, called on the House of Representatives to continue performing its duties by discussing and approving important laws that affect the lives of citizens and serve the country.
Al-Anbaky confirmed to {Euphrates News} that "approving these laws before the end of the parliament's constitutional term represents a real duty that must be focused on."
Regarding the mechanism for dealing with laws, Al-Anbaky pointed out that "there is an approach followed by the parliament's presidency in managing the legislative file," noting "the lack of clarity about the method followed to determine priorities, whether by temporal precedence, based on importance, or according to what is presented by parliamentary committees."
Al-Anbaky called for "the necessity of adopting a transparent mechanism for legislating laws in a way that ensures the priority of legislation that touches on citizens' needs and aspirations." link

Fri. 14 Feb. 2025 Buckle up.
There’s a massive move happening in the gold market that almost nobody’s talking about. Huge physical deliveries. Shortages in London. Gold flowing into the U.S. at record levels. Someone with deep pockets is scooping up gold—likely the U.S. Treasury or Fed. …Carolyn Bessette Kennedy on Telegram
Why? The theory: They’re preparing for a full-on gold audit—meaning they’re re-shoring gold they might’ve leased out. Once audited, that gold could form the backbone of a new monetary system. This could signal a seismic shift in the dollar’s status and value.
The endgame: A major devaluation of the U.S. dollar to reset America’s global competitiveness. Think back to 1971 (Nixon shutting the gold window) or 1985 (Plaza Accord). This time, it might be even bigger—some call it the “Mar-a-Lago Accord.”
Tariffs are key. They aren’t just about steel, aluminum, or stopping fentanyl. They’re the cudgel to force other countries to accept a new currency regime. The U.S. wants to drive down the dollar’s value vs. the yuan, euro, yen, etc. to boost exports and domestic industry.
Bottom line: Prepare for a major monetary reset. One that’s orchestrated (they hope) rather than chaotic. These aren’t half-baked theories. You can see it in gold flows, Trump’s policy picks, the talk of a Sovereign Wealth Fund, and a looming forced revaluation.

Ditching the Dollar for Gold & Silver – What Texas Knows
Daniela Cambone: 2-14-2025
Gold rallying alongside a strong dollar means it’s even stronger than you think, says Eric Wade, editor of Crypto Capital at Stansberry Research and author of America vs. Americans.
In this interview, he joins Daniela Cambone to discuss Texas lawmakers’ proposal to create gold and silver-backed currencies to compete with fiat money and the future of the yellow metal.
“If our trend is towards, I want to back our currency with something, gold has to be in that mix,” Wade says, predicting a $3,500 price tag in the near future.

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. It's Thursday, February 13, and you're listening to the big call. Thanks for tuning in again. Everyone, all of you guys that are getting this call out there internationally from the satellite with the SAT team using the Starlink satellite system. Thank you for the let's call it 10s of millions of you that are catching this call live right now in your own language, all around the globe. So thank you for that. Great to have you on board.
Let's get into Intel segment. Let's start with our bondholders. We heard that bondholders funds to their accounts are moving and starting sometime yesterday or last night, and are continuing to be placed into bondholder accounts, also intermediary accounts and so on.
So that's happening now, and that's working to where bondholders have been notified by email that they should have access to those funds in their account on Saturday. So that's what two days away from today, they should have access to funds on Saturday.
Let's go back and see where we stand in tier four A and B. Tier four A, we tend to call the admirals groups. Tier four B called the Internet Group.
Wells Fargo knows it as tier four, and they don't distinguish that somebody has used the term tier four group, which is kind of the combination of A and B. They're calling it tier four group.
So we heard early this morning that we would be starting in a couple of days, a couple of days, and then as it worked through the day into the afternoon, the Intel got a little bit better and a little bit more precise in terms of our timing.
So we move on through and we've heard from different sources about four or five different sources that came in with very similar information and the overall consensus is that we're to be ….. okay let's back up one sec. The ……. This is specifically to be the tier 4B - the Internet Group that it was activated at noon today, noon today, on Thursday the 13th of February, tier 4b was activated. Now that means it's ready to be started or ready for us to receive notifications. Okay, so that's that's good, And that started. Today,
While we’re talking about what happened today at one o'clock this afternoon, one o’clock today, the NESARA funds started going out and I’m calling this aspect of NESARA funds our reclamation/ restitution allowance, or let's call it restitution and reconciliation allowance. That's another R and R that I sort of use occasionally. R and R funds. It looks like have started going out a day at 1pm two months dire need that they're aware of meaningful it's dire need -
I don’t know how many people. I don't know where it started, or anything other than that, but know that the R and R funds have begun, and I think for us in that is part of the Internet Group when we go in or are into our redemption centers for core appointments to exchange currencies and to redeem our Zim when we go in our R and R should be in our quantum accounts.
In other words, it should be placed in our quantum account. All we'll need to do to see it and to gain access to it is activate our quantum card. You guys remember how we're going to do that very quickly. Biometric fingerprint, new username and password – 5 digit pen code – brand new email and new email password – BOOM BOOM BOOM
That's what you need to get into and activate your quantum card. Did I mention the biometrics? No, I didn't biometric, fingerprint or thumbprint, either one should be kept and essentially held in one of three computer chips in this quantum card. Okay, you don't lose that card. You keep it very safe.
You don't carry it around with you. It's only used to move funds from the quantum account to your wells, Fargo, in my case, Wells Fargo primary account or secondary accounts, and move it to the bank account. And as of I believe, was yesterday, banks can no longer willy nilly look into and track our accounts.
They can't see the money that's in our accounts, because I'm going to say as of today, not yesterday, but either way, we are now. We are now in a process of being no longer mirrored in a quantum financial account, but our funds in our bank accounts, already, in the quantum financial account, in our quantum bank accounts.
That's that's something that is taking place now, because, as we speak, they are activating the FinTech system, which is connected to the QFS the quant financial system, and this StarLink satellite system of the part of the FinTech system is the QRP digital coin, or token currency that is used and is being used to back our USTN, our United States Treasury note money, or new USN currency.
So the whole thing is coming together now, where we are for the first time, fully integrated now into the quantum financial system, which is happening now around the world. Now, will it take very long for it to be fully let's call it acclimated. I don't know how long it's going to take down the globe, but I do know that now we are no longer mirrored, but our accounts are actually part of the quantum financial system, and I like the idea that the XRP is being used to back the value of our currency, and it's being introduced and held Through the FinTech system.
It's complicated, and I think I I understand the concept of it, but it's definitely something that's pretty cool now. So that happened today, that activation, if you will, of the QFs with the fintech. So what is going on now? All right, let's go back and see where that puts us now. We know what that is.
The next thing that we're hearing was that we heard from a couple of different sources in two days. We got that last night. Then we heard today, as of noon, today. Remember what happened at noon? You know we will get started in 24 hours with notifications so we can look for our notifications probably as early as around lunchtime tomorrow, Friday, 14, which is Valentine's Day.
Now here's the thing we know redemption center staff, some may go in early some we know the leaders are going in at 10 o'clock in the morning into redemption centers. We know that the rates have come up on the screens, but we also know that the rates are fluctuating, trading back and forth at a very high rate of speed right now, but as it keeps trading through the night and into tomorrow, it will probably settle in, if not tomorrow, it should settle in on Saturday.
Which brings me to the next piece of intel that we received from a US, Space Force contact that said that we would be exchanging and talking about tier 4b those of us in the Internet Group, we will be exchanging, according to this source, no later than Saturday, which remember, Saturday is the 15th of the month.
Now, the last source that we heard from was saying that we would, we would be notified tomorrow, and exchanging starting Saturday.
So the last two sources agreed on the start date of Saturday, even though the other ones were leading up to that, these two were saying that we would be getting notified tomorrow could be around lunchtime, around noon, could be a little before, could be a little later around noon, And then set our appointments tomorrow for starting Saturday, okay? And that means that we also would go through the weekend, set appointments for Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, for two weeks.
It looks like we're exchanging for at least two weeks. Some areas of the country will go 19 days of exchanges. Some areas of the country will go six or seven days. It just depends on how many courtesy holders are living in those areas, and whether or not Zim holders, which they want zim holders in first guys, they want the Zim holders, because the value of the Zim is so great, and we will absolutely hydrate the banks again,
We are the ones that are bringing the value back to the banks, where they will have the funds that we take from our quantum account and put into our bank accounts that will help the banks to reach a certain level of liquidity.
So we've got bondholders to receive their liquidity in their accounts and have access to it on sometime on Saturday, and we have ourselves getting notified tomorrow to set appointments to exchange starting Saturday, in which case we will also have our liquidity.
But our liquidity, for the most part is being put on a credit debit card. You take the quantum account, we move funds from the quantum account after our currency exchange, and the Zim is redeemed, goes all of it, all of it goes into quantum account, draws no interest. It's a safe space for money.
Then you can move the first six months, no, I'm gonna say the first 60 days, you'll move a smaller amount of your total, a smaller amount of your total, if you’re a zim holder - millions, billions, and so maybe a few billion dollars into your primary bank account there, you spend it off using credit debit card.
Obviously, you can get checks for your account or you can wire your funds if you have a large amount. That's not practical to send any other way but a bank wire and those bank wires are essentially very quick moving these days.
Let's see. That gives the timeline. It really started today at noon with the activation for tier 4B, and I believe we're going alongside, in parallel, to the Admiral's groups and everything that would be considered for a tier 4A - So we know that the admirals considered a private group, started being paid out yesterday, and more were going to be paid out today. Probably more would be paid out for a period of two or three days.
So if you're in the admirals group, you should be looking for an email to confirm the funds - And in my opinion, unless you didn't put very much with the Admiral at all, but if you put any Zim or anything of any size with the admiral, you would get an email that we asked you, yeah, the funds are in your quantum account, just like we're going to have our funds placed into a quantum account, since they've already ponied up their currency with the Admiral years ago, some of them six, 810, years ago, that means that those funds in the exchange value should go into The Quantum account, then they access their funds from quantum just like we would, by activating brand new quantum card and then moving those funds into their bank account.
Okay, so that's really a parallel thing that we're going to see with us – Now bondholders get access to their funds on Saturday. Those of us who get exchanged on Saturday have access to our funds on Saturday, and can move some and spend some with our credit
Debit card with Wells Fargo and then, of course, you can move and have up to three different banks attached to your quantum card
Okay, I'm going to keep everything with Wells to start with, and see how they treat me, and see if I want to keep it all there, or I want to diversify into two or three banks. So the onus is on wells to perform for us, and I think they will. I think they want to keep as many customers that can with them. So let's see how they do the wealth management / Private bankers work with us. They're actually called premier bankers, Premier because we're premier customers with them
All right, so that's really what I wanted to say tonight. Let's see if there's anything else that comes up.
All right, let's see what else I think that is pretty much good, except one other possibility, these numbers come out like we like I've been told tomorrow and we start setting our appointments, and we start going on Saturday, will we have a celebration call? We might record a celebration call tomorrow. We might just be in a position where the three of us can record a celebration call sometime tomorrow.
So I'd say Now when that happens, when we record it, remember what it does to recording that we're on tonight. It supplants this recording. It moves it out of the way, as if it were a regular dupu. So just be aware of that if you're somebody who listens to the recording and you want this recording tonight, make sure that you listen to it.
Make sure you have it, because tomorrow it could get removed. If we do a celebration, call, all right, so that would be a short call, 20 minutes, 30 Max, 20 to 30 minutes, and then we wait for us to celebrate and let you guys know that everything's done.
When we're going to send that out, as soon as we can, probably have the the 800 number posted on our website as well.
We'll see what happens tomorrow. We'll see if everything happens like I say, this is our last live call. So I want to thank everybody in big call universe that student did listen to me, Bob Fauci, over the last 10 years, those of you who have listened to just me and a few other people in the past, over the last start of 14 years.
So thank you guys. A lot of you guys have been faithful listeners since the very first call on December the 2011 that's right call. And we started with 300 people, and the next week there were 900 people. And then it grew from there. Now we're, we're hitting and well, 18 and 24 million listeners are on the globe because of the star link satellite system and the satellite team, they hooked all that up for us. Great.
Thanks those out to the SAT team, and you know who you are for putting this together for us where we can be reached and heard all over the globe in so many different languages, translates it to their particular language around the globe, which is a great benefit.
