It's like he's trying to kill the US dollar. Nobody who was actually trying to protect our currency would be making these moves.
It's not a shocker why all the cryptobros are behind him either, because that's their goal, too.
But I mean god damn it is really hard to exaggerate how stupid and easily manipulated Trump is.
Crypto Bros like him because they don't want to have to pay taxes or to stop scamming people
No "like", he is. Russia and China want to devalue the dollar and replace it as the world currency.
Obviously Russia is unlikely to achieve that, but I'm sure China encourages the use of RMB in their global operations, like in their belt and road projects.
Russia benefits from a stronger US dollar insofar as its oil and gas exports are settled in that currency. The more valuable the US dollar is (as measured against the ruble), the more rubles Russia's exports end up yielding — or the better they compete with other producers in international markets.
They ironically don't, they have so many controls in place it's not even in the top five reserve currencies.
The fiat currency cannot be discussed in public. It's mystery maintains it's real value.
Are you advocating for the gold standard?
I don't think that there is enough gold. Unfortunately.
Just use something else, like rocks.
