LOL Think about it: How does the rest of the world hold enough dollars to function as a reserve?

Trade deficits.

Think Europe or China will ever run deficits large enough for long enough to function as a reserve currency?

What is happening are barter deals: oil or some raw material to China who pays in Yuan and then the Yuan pay for imports from China. Or better, China makes big loans, Chinese and local officials enjoy a feast of embezzlement, and the country reneges on the deal.

Trading one failing, mismanaged fiat for another makes no sense. They can horde lumps of shiny metal if they want, I’ll go with bitcoin for its greater utility, fungibility, ease of use, lower TX costs, greater security via multisig, inability to counterfeit/fake, and more rigid scarcity.

soros and crew started pouring money and tech into china in the early 90s when the clintons took office.

we gave the chinese our manufacturing base and explained the upgrade. then the pc revolution gave them a huge bump... a bump that we never had in the US.

bringing back manufacturing will improve employment in the US while hosing the chinese a bit... but we’ll never match their manufacturing might.... which is the core component in a drone based war.

the next war, a drone war with china, is already lost.

and no, EMPs aren’t a silver bullet against hardened drones.

As I write this...

The U.S. Dollar Index (USD) is trading at 97.39 against a basket of foreign currencies.

97.39 is the lowest price since February 2022.

USD 100 is considered neutral.

Above 100 indicates USD strength.

Below 100 indicates USD weakness.

USD was trading at 109 in January 2025.

USD is down 9% in six months, which is a fairly large drop for a major currency.

Real Time quote...
