Well it's time for the BRICS- New World Order to come up with a default reserve currency or simply go back to gold as the reserve. It will be too chaotic for each country to trade in their respective currencies with the daily change in exchange rates.

BRICS wants to build a new currency. It is also worth noting that gold has historically been used as a store of value and a means of exchange, and some countries still hold significant amounts of gold in their reserves. However, it is unclear how a new currency backed by gold would function in the current global financial system and whether it would gain widespread acceptance. Ultimately, any decision to create a new currency would be subiect to numerous economic, political, and logistical considerations.

[@hermanramos7092]

It's interesting to learn more about the discussions and proposals around BRICS nations and their potential use of gold. There are several reasons why people may choose to buy gold, including its historical use as a store of value and means of exchange, its potential as a hedge against inflation or currency devaluation, and its relative scarcity compared to other commodities. Additionally, gold can offer diversification benefits to investment portfolios, as it tends to have a low correlation with other asset classes like stocks and bonds. However, it's important to note that investing in gold carries risks and may not be suitable for evervone. and investors should carefully consider their investment objectives, risk tolerance, and financial situation before making any decisions.

[@martingiavarini]

Investing in gold is a reliable choice, and I plan to keep buying more to make up for my losses. While silver is also a good investment, my collectibles are not as similar.

A perfect storm is brewing in the United States. Inflation, bank collapse, severe drought in the agricultural belt, recession, food shortages, diesel fuel and heating oil shortages, baby formula shortages, available automobile shortages and prices, the price of living place. It's all coming together and it could lead to a real disaster towards the end of this year (or sooner).

The Chinese don't pay fair prices, they bribe our politicians and smuggle our raw materials which does not our countries. They bring in their own labour from China, they don't employ local people. In short, the slavery we experienced in the 18th century, it's back now in the form of the Chinese. And we are applauding just because we want to spite the west whilst still gaining nothing. All the infrastructure the Chinese are building for us, they demanding our governments sign over mineral rights as collateral to these loans they are funding the infrastructure development. Our corrupt governments are mortgaging our children's future. Why do we as Africans need other countries (the west and the east) to come to us to validate our existence. Everyone wants our resources. The Chinese are worse slave drivers. There is nothing to be gained from joining these people.

Since China depends so much on exports and a country like the US can over time just produce those same products somewhere else and do the same thing the did for China to another country. The Chinese government does have over a trillion in us bonds just means they need a safe place to put the money but China makes far more money from the us than the us makes from China.

So China can make more money in the us alone than it could in China and China exports far more to the US and western countries than they do to China. US citizens and US companies own 70% of all US debt and China is i biggest debt holder OUTSIDE the US and the US government used tax payer money to bail out the big 3 car companies and they paid that back with interest. The US government doesn’t invest in the US economy they pump money into the economy during economic down turns. Also US debt is not really considered an investment it’s a way to secure large sums of money long term and widely considered a pretty sure thing as far as getting your money back and keeping it secure. China got smart and had an impressive run but now gonna ruin it because the CCP is more focused on power and control. Why is China so focused on reuniting Taiwan and other part they feel belong to them but not the huge piece of land that Russia took from them.

Very interesting program Mohammed, and Shirley Yu proved to be the most articulated of your guests of the panel in this occasion. Now, there was a misunderstanding at the start assuming that BRICS intends to create a common currency such as the "Eurolemon", but I think he panel was very clear on the fact that every nation member will maintain their OWN currency and perhaps a PSEUDO CURRENCY will be created working as a virtual "CLEARING HOUSE" to encourage, facilitate and reduce the cost or financial transactions between the members. This also (in my view) will work around some of the "boobie traps" installed by USA et al to control and manipulate financial markets such as SWIFT and many others.
