Don't take this lightly. The Dollar could be finished, in weeks, not years. Even our allies are trying to drive nails into the Dollar's coffin. This is for real, folks.
I will say one thing...in regards to that African leader who seemed pretty convinced in a few weeks nobody will be trading in USD anymore. Now, if the East can somehow force inflation here to go high enough, that Jay Powell keeps raising rates...and
doing it for a long time, well, then banks everywhere that hold depositor money in the form of treasuries will lose an infinite amount of money. It's very very very dangerous for JayPowell to keep raising rates for long periods, particularly when this
encourages depositors to withdraw their money. Those withdrawals force banks to sell those treasuries to cover the withdrawals and if rates are higher than when they bought them, they'll be selling those treasuries at massive losses. So, our banking
system could be massively at risk.
