    A few days ago the US sanctioned an Egyptian bank for trading with Iran. (This means they are refusing to sell them USD.) Could this be a response to that?

      Likely, and this also goes beyond Iran. The US has basically weaponized the dollar system now, and everybody knows they need to get off of it ASAP.

          No they aren’t. The Dutch just pulled their gold reserves out of the US. The tech bros and Trump are TRYING to crash the dollar. Trump has said that he likes the dollar going down because he is making money.

          This is why they push crypto. People don’t understand the crash that is coming. At least after the great depression and the 2008 financial crisis we were never questioning the dollar.

          When this next crash happens, all that matters are assets. We will have new money. They have said this, project 2025 has said this, Peter Thiel has said this, it is objectively happening.
