    @cd329

    Last time! I’m tired of posting here! 1st of all some of the Post are not news, they’re analysis from folks at Harvard in 1 & Yale at the other, etc..

    I don’t immediately dismiss other news stories posted here, I look at who wrote the piece & look at where the author got his/her data for the story.

    The Point I’m making is MANY Academics World Wide have always believed a big reason the Euro was created was to unseat the Dollar! And if you Understand the European Economies & Financial Systems in MY Opinion which is shared with Top Scholars World Wide it makes Complete Sense because what other Choices did the EU have to remain a Global Power in the Shadow of the rise of China & Russia? None! In my opinion!

    Furthermore it’s the only benefit for the USA Invasion of Iraq! Furthermore it’s the only benefit for the EU to oppose the USA invasion of Iraq! Gaining Oil doesn’t do shit!

    Far to often Folks on this site have accused me of posting complete garbage here when thats simply not TRUE! 90% of the stuff posted here is backed up by Experts in Economics, Experts in Warfare, Experts in USA & Russian Weapon platforms, Experts in History, etc.. the other 5% is from Intelligence Operatives CIA, Mossad, FSB, MI6, etc…

    I gotta go can’t keep posting here!

    Imagine the logistical nightmare if you had to pay in different currencies depending on which state you conducted business (and you therefore had to exchange currencies back and forth all the time ! EU works more or less the same as US does (so that example would be more or less equal)

     

    And not only that - when you conducted business you had to factor in that the currency exchange rate fluctuates consistently!

     

    That was the primary reason - rather you like it or not 

    Don't mention the frogs - we don't want to scare the toddler - we want him to sleep

    Does that mean someone might not have done it trying to take over the dollar - no - that might very well be true ! (But the reason I know it wasn’t the purpose of the eur - is if it was - we would already be the world reserve currency) - AND really what if it was our main objective - so what ? Every country push their own agendas - should I be mad my countries gdp has gotten worse because Trump deliberately push American companies and that hurt our export slightly ! No ! Every country on earth push their own agenda - to benefit their population the most ! With Trump that is arguable - but normally that is the case

    Should I be mad that my life is more in danger than it was a year ago - because Trump has basically told Putin to do what the hell he wants - and when he isn’t - he threats Greenland ! No ! I am not a fucking child - I just know how the world works ! And I haven’t even attended Yale or Howard - can you imagine an_speechlesspaint_help

    Both Russia and China would replace the dollar in a heartbeat - the major force less likely (a year ago) would have been the eurozone - then let’s say it like that - that might be more correct - than dismiss your claim outright by me !

     

    But for 80 years we have followed your world view etc. we have fought both in Iraq and Afghanistan on your behalf ! Fighting in the Middle East hurt us way more than it hurts you - EU have had no interest to push it own agendas - that was also why it was such a big deal when we did it with Greenland - because that marks a shift ! We have basically never acted united to push a geopolitical goal ! Trump has no idea of the animal he has awoken from its 80s habitat

    Id say that the only currency that has the clout and infrastructure to succeed is if Germany decoupled from the Euro and went back to the DM. There cannot be a global reserve currency from a communist country and be superior to the USD, the economy has to be superior the central bank has to be superior and the strength of the global trade has to exceed the US. I do not see an economy and currency that could step into the void and be superior. The Swiss has some aspects but lacks in others, I just do not see a currency that meets the measure of being a global reserve currency.

    China and Russia will never be the world reserve currency - I don’t think either - but motivation and ability is two different things - the Russian spy - portray EU of having had the wish since our founding basically ! If we have the wish to overtake it - it would have evolved within the past year - and EU does have much of the infrastructure in place - but it wouldn’t happen within the next 5 years for instance - it is also not something we push to achieve I have to highlight that (at least not very much - because I have not heard about it - and the first thing they would do was to make it disadvantageous for us to invest in your industries) ! It would be in the case you guys basically gave up that position yourself because you basically slowly are destroying yourself !

     

    China and Russia both have the WISH to overtake you - they just don’t have what it takes to do it

    But EUR is the only FIAT currency holding that has gone up since Trump took office - it has also been the currency people have brought during the different turmoils he has pushed us through - so it might be more apparent than any of us think - who knows - it is the market that is the determining factor at the end of the day

    US markets are not superior! You borrow a lot of money, circulate it, and calculate inflation rate figures differently from pretty much the entire world to artificially pump up your GDP numbers. If you work back through the years, you'll see that Italy would have had a bigger economy than the US in 1990 if we had measured GDP the same way you did. Our numbers differed as much as they have — that is the only conclusion that would back up your inflated GDP growth figure

     

    And Chinas economy is also not superior like the Russian spy suggest ! They borrow a lot of money that they put through different channels so it doesn’t show up on their balance sheet - and they are facing deflation problems

    I also don’t understand your whole argumentation for Germany being a better candidate on its own - that makes no sense at all - if EUR was to become the world reserve currency we would have to issue bonds way more than we do now and make our decision making more streamlined etc. which would make it virtually impossible for any nation to leave the union ! Germany being part of EU not only diversify their economy - it also makes them the dominant player in the biggest internal market in the world ! Do you know how much of German prosperity is because they are part of EU?

     

    It would be as stupid an argument if I said California would be a stronger candidate for having it in the future if they went solo and made their own currency - not factoring in how much diversifying your markets and your population number (work force) etc influence such decisions

    @Calde13

     It is my view that Germany is one if not the strongest component of the EU and their currency would be stronger than the Euro is due to the fact there are so many weak countries which lower the value. If Germany went back to the DM the Euro would drop and the argument of trade would not be what you think, Germany would create their own agreements and I think if that were to happen the Euro might unwind. If you remove the strongest leg of a table that can easily lead to the whole thing collapsing.

    The issue you keep making about the US vs Europe just isnt there due to the fact all countries in Europe have their own government and it is not like the state governments we have here which all reside under the umbrella of the federal government but I actually agree with you that a state like California COULD be its own entity it is that large and diverse. I do not see a need for that because only wacky goofs like Texas actually think that they are superior where California has not tossed out a lame brain idea like this every ten years like Texas seems to.

    My main point was which country has a strong enough economy and currency potentially to be a reserve currency and I really cant think of any but Germany might be the closest with the DM to be a possibility.

    you can keep believing your news is better then other posted stuff all you want, if that helps you sleep at night.

    just cause something comes from yale or harvard doesnt make it better then some other news story. You arent posting any info that everybody here hasnt already read somewhere.  and quite honestly i dont believe for 1 second you are a 6 digit political bettor, but if telling a bunch of strangers that, makes you feel good, then thats greatan_cheers

    Yeah I also didn’t mean my answers in a way like I know better than you kind of way - you use a lot of words I don’t understand normally - so I do consider you one of the more well informed - I am a simple man ! But I think our disconnect - is that I think the market would consider the diversity in countries an advantage when picking a reserve currency - for instance let’s take a small unimportant  country like Cyprus - that has basically been irrelevant - suddenly they might be one of the keys to our energy problems - that might fuel our industries - Denmark also pretty insignificant everything considered - maybe in the future Greenland becomes a major deal - and stuff like that you just can’t plan for - and that Germanys economy more or less hasn’t moved for well over year or I don’t even know how long - where other countries go in and pump up the overall growth - it is kind of like a bank that would prefer your wife, daughter etc as colleteral for your debt - a lot of what is happening right now in your bond market - is the market asking themselves if you are ever going to pay them back - because your fear of inflation figures don’t align with it !

    But again it is a mind game this - and your take might very well as good as mine - and I don’t even believe that it is something we are striving to test - to be 100 % honest - we have tons of investments both in the dollar and your industries in general - so I have hard time seeing us preferring your markets to tank

    They also ask that question because you are boring a lot of money - with being in a financial crises - so they ask themselves - what are you doing then when you are in one

    @Calde13

     The reserve currency issue is about the central bank more than anything else so outside the US Federal Reserve which central bank has the depth of liquidity. the resources and history of dealing with global financial issues? That is really the only single consideration...which currency and thus central bank has the skills, the cash and the ability to handle horrible awful global financial breakdowns?

    I do not see any central bank who could step into the void and make everything right again even if that means debasing currency and causing different problems. I do not see the ECB or Russia or China with the ability to handle GLOBAL issues...

    In the Future the will be a basket of currencies possibly backed by Gold =BRICS plan! If given the chance USA would dump it’s Reserve Currency Status, We Screwed the whole thing up! Only a fraction of USA Oligarchs would want a USA Reserve Currency because they want to weaponize the Dollar to serve their purpose! But China & Russia have defeated the Financial Engineering Models that the West bet on.

    USA/West dedicated their resources & time to BUILD & ENGINEER Financial Models to RULE THE WORLD!

    China “said oh hell no White Boys are stupid we’re going to bet on RAW MATERIALS = HARD ASSETS” So China bet Big on Education, Building Supply Chains, & Raw Materials! China spent better part of an Entire Century building the MOST ADVANCED Supply Chains in 12,000 years! Connecting Education, Highways, Ports, Infrastructure, Cities, etc… TO BECOME EARTH’s Most Advanced Supply chain! USA would’ve have to demolish & redesign the entire USA in the hopes of creating a SMALLER Version of China’s Supply Chains! The Supply Chains extend outside of China & are spreading around like a Virus!

    Russia saw China & was getting abused by USA then decided to bet on China’s Hard Asset Strategy!

    The Western Financial Engineering Model has FAILED! China, Russia, & BRICS countries are desperately trying to shield themselves from the GUARANTEED Western Earth Financial Implosion!

    USA knows it’s toast WE ARE TRYING to DUMP AS MUCH of the Destruction on Europe so we can Survive! And Our CIA has done an Excellent Job so far! Our erratic insane behavior on the Global Stage is our Oligarch Factions Lashing out as they face Certain Death, they don’t know what to do, humiliated & scared on the Global Stage they react!

    Again for the Millionith TIME, The USA’s Reserve Currency Status is what’s causing Manufacturing to flee the USA because it’s too expensive to Manufacture Inside the USA! THIS IS A FACT! THIS IS A FACT! THIS IS A FACT!

    My Opinion is “Screw Europe they deserve to be destroyed & it’s that ancestry that set North America on this path to destruction long ago” USA is a young Country & like Every Other Empire we Choked on our Chicken.

    USA has plenty of folks from all over the World & we have Vast Resources if we can come together after PROSECUTING & EXECUTING Many of the Oligarch Class, Political Class, & Corporate Class, there’s no reason we can’t thrive in the Future! But first USA needs a Proper Cleansing!

    Good bye fools

     Quit insulting the group when you repeatedly claim to be leaving. There is Z E R O chance for a gold backed currency, the entire reason why Nixon went off the standard was to influence GDP growth and consumption and to innovate our old crappy technology and manufacturing. The reason why manu left the US is we made lousy products and workers require more compensation than corps want to give in order to max profits and stock prices..

    exactlyan_light  Reagan let all the companies take the jobs overseas, so they could hire workers for a couple of dollars a day and in turn we all got addicted to cheap crap from other countries.  Now the genie cant be put back in the bottle.

    “Backed by gold” is also just a human flaw - at the end of the day who the fuck cares about gold - can you eat gold - is it vital for your survival ? No ! It is just something else we have given a monetary value - if society breaks down I will value a cow 10 times higher than I would gold - and so would my neighbour if I tried to trade him — and yeah yeah I know it of course keeps a currency stable etc if it is backed by something like gold etc. - but it makes no sense - it would make more sense to make it backed by something vital to our survival

    It is just a matter of time before we make gold in a lab - just like we did diamond - and then gold is worth even less for your survival than it is now - then your neighbour wouldn’t even value it without a crises being present when you suggest the trade for a cow or fresh water 

    Don't mention the frogs - we don't want to scare the toddler - we want him to sleep

    Under US constitution, judicial branch has authority to block abuse of power whenever executive branch violates laws.  However rogue Trump administration repeatedly defies many court rulings.  Contempt for rule of law is among characteristics of fascism in government.
