Brazil has been using its currency with bilateral trade with anyone who wants to exchange directly (without passing to dollars) for at least 10 years. I don't think this interview is well connected to reality.
@@srappytrex3946 you're misinformed. The reason the dollar has relevance is because it's the collateral for any exchange of goods or services between countries. Every time Argentina buys something from Japan, a portion of that transaction is used to pay a US bank. Because the transaction is, ultimately, made in dollars. So the buyer exchanges his original money for dollars, pays the bank for making the exchange, then uses those dollars to buy the stuff. The seller then exchanges dollars for their currency. Meanwhile, the US doesn't need to make any exchange. For instance, the US can effectively print money to import products and pay their entire external debt withou needing to produce anything of value. That's why the US external debt is irrelevant. Back in the day, people used gold for this, because gold had a stable universal value, but the exchange rates between currencies fluctuate a lot. Plus, everyone accepts gold. The dollar value is immaterial. It's based on "faith". There's nothing actually stopping you from buying anything in China using Euros, or any other currency you have, as long as the seller accepts that currency. Brazil and China are, now, trading using their respective currencies directly. Brazil literally pays China in the Brazilian currency, or the Chinese one. The US has no interaction in this transaction. The US can, at any point, block anyone from using their currency. If a country has a large amount of reserves in dollars, the US can freeze that money any time they want. Preventing any movements from that money. Or even controlling it completely. The dollar became THE currency after WWII, because all other economies were destroyed, the US was holding the gold from a lot of European countries in their banks, and the US used loans to finance the reconstruction of several countries. So, out of nothing, a large part of the world trade HAD to be made in dollars. Eventually using the dollar was just inertia. However, the US started to abuse their sanctions. By completely cutting considerable economies from the dollar, the US created a large market outside the dollar. Proving it wasn't that big of a deal, completely doable, and actually safer than using the dollar, considering the high risk of... Oh, I don't know, tariffs and sanctions out of nowhere. So, now, you have a lot of countries interested in trading with other currencies, just so they aren't as vulnerable to sanctions or influences from the US. Imagine, for instance, that only one bank accepted gold as currency, and that the bank could, at any moment, unilaterally freeze all your gold indefinitely. How long do you think it would take for people to start trading with other stuff? No matter how common "gold as a currency" was? See, we used gold as currency for WAY longer than we use the dollar. And we stopped doing that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The US is in terrible shape if you look at the deficit that has basically gone up since Reagan. Most people cannot understand how big a Trillion is, and the US is heading toward 40 trillion. It will implode in time. Actually, look up all national debt, corporate debt, personal debt of the world. We are living in a global world and every country has huge bubbles it is surviving on, but they will pop in time and send the world into chaos. It might be next year or next decade, but it is coming. It is basic math. Deficits and bubbles are expanding, and populations are shrinking. It is a Ponzi scheme chugging along like a runaway train toward a cliff. It has been predicted for a long time, but people keep finding new ways to inflate the bubble. That will make the collapse worse when it happens.
There are less people in Canada than California. There is no excuse for there to be a housing shortage in Canada. There are plenty of Americans that would love Canadian citizenship that have construction skills.
So the interviewee’s argument against dedollarization is that the global financial infrastructure is built around the dollar, but that is exactly what the BRICS countries are trying to change, isn’t it? With the BRICS countries accounting for over 40% of global trade, as well as their political will to change that infrastructure, I don’t see any reason why they can’t do it.

However, the US has abused their unilateral sanctions recently. Most of the global south sees the US as a bully. So, using the dollar started to hurt, it's no longer that safe, and there are a lot of countries willing to trade in other currencies.
"Petro station with nuclear weapon." Can you please be original? We have heard this statement for the past two years. I wonder why with all the NATO support, they're unable to defeat the petro station.
Russia inherited from the Soviet Union its former Super Power status, there were only two Super Powers in the world. And Russia has been taking this tradition very seriously. Ukraine, on the other hand, was never ever thinking of war. The flow of weapons from the West to Ukraine is very limited. If anything it is proving that the former before Super Power is more than justified. This said, Russia had to give the world a lot, not only oil, if they integrated into the world market. Now they can only hope that the Chinese not get tired of them like, let's say, North Korea.
Come on! Russia is not really fighting NATO but a country a third of her size supported by the West with arms coming too little and too late. Shame on you Russia!

People have to remember that , America is the least dependent on international trade! America is a continental economy! The percentage of its GDP exposed on international trade is only 19 percent! And half of that 19 percent is in USMCA! America will have more trade with south east Asia that EU in the coming decades! Due to its demographics and stability! America if done with EU! And Middle East!
South East Asia? You must be either in delusion or living under a rock for a long time. South East Asia has been a strong hold of China for a long time. India has been looking to get into South East Asia for a long time, but not able to even with all its past influence of cultural exchanges happened between India and South East Asia before Europeans started looting. How can the US exactly trade with South East Asia? Forget the US, even my country India gets a positive response from South East Asia than the US in South East Asia. If you go and ask any individual in South East Asia about choosing between the US and China, they would rather go for China than the US.
BRICS should use the Euro as their primary trade currency. None of the current BRICS countries could dominate the currency, it is already used in MANY nations and it would mess Trump up to no end.
Isn't it fair to say that there are two separate issues here. One is the International Trade and Currency reserve (US dollar to trade with). The second is what can be called a household currency. If a digital currency like Bitcoin can be purchased by people all over the world. Couldn't BRICS create a multinational digital currency backed by their central banks for use by their citizens. I'm thinking about Small and medium sized business from Africa, India, China et all making purchases across borders with each other. If they can figure out a way to create and control a digital currency used by the people firstly, then solving the International Country Trade and Currency issues will be halfway figured out. Seems like low hanging fruit to me and it would be a backdoor switch.
Russia would love to have everybody trade in rubles in order to pump it up. The ruble was worth less than one U.S. cent last time I looked. 1000 rubles might buy a cup of coffee these days.
@excel5203 Russia can't afford debt. Nobody is willing to loan them money as they keep defaulting Thw US has massive debt as it is massively wealthy and can easily afford it.
Because during WWII the gold standard proved to be to unstable So everyone decided to pin their trade on the most stable currency at the time Which was the US dollar
All that's said above is not wrong. But it misses a point. Any alternative payment infrastructure between other countries is wakening and undermining the dollar dominance. It is not necessary at all to "replace" it.
India is already trading without the US dollar with 18 countries, especially for oil because that's where our weakness is from the imports point of view. India is never in favour of any one country dominating the world be it the US, China, or even Russia. So, India just pursues its own interests rather than pandering to others interests like the EU.
Okay, take emotion out of the dollar discussion 1. USA = 4.19 % of world population 2. EU = 5.59 % of world population 3. BRICS = 40 % of world population So, the brics dollar may be unavoidable
Obviously the US dollar is not as dominant as before, but it is impossible for BRICS to come up with anything to compete against it. The conflicts within that bloc are far greater than their shared goals 😂
That's life. You have an excellent expert speaking who's able to break down complicated things in simple language and the comment section is overflowing with hate.
The dollar might lose its reserve currency status, not because of anything BRICS does but because of the US federal deficit, now 7% of GDP. The subject was not mentioned during the recent election; neither party has any known plan for reducing it; and Trump's only idea is to raise more revenue from tariffs, while reducing taxes even further. Not even the USA can go on borrowing money for ever and ever. Sooner or later US bonds will seem increasingly risky and central banks will start to unload them. Gold reserves are already increasing for the first time in many years.
Not another catch-22 issue. What’s in fact unacceptable is Iran’s regional retrograde bullying while Saudi Arabia’s crucial stance on BRICS for the near East is seemingly ambivalent. And Saudi Arabia has the numbers to show for 🙌🏼
Some European countries are already accepting BRICS currency. They are already in circulation. It is too late for Donald Trump to stop this from happening. The dollar will continue to fall.
Rapidly expanding BRICS+ and Partners are never interested in replacing the US$ but only determined to use their countries' currencies under the Currency Swap Mechanism in their own Trade and Business Transactions to reduce costs and political risks
My take from this 'conversation' is this, it wouldn't happen all of sudden or overnight, but it's a long slow pain and a trend that nobody could control, not even 'omnipotent' Trump.
A BRICS currency based on gold can be great! These countries collectively have a large repository of gold scattered across so it cannot be grabbed in one swoop like the USA and NATO did in Libya. Gaddafi was ousted in 2011 by Obama, Sarkozy, Cameron et al because he was in the process of setting up an African currency backed by tonnes of gold he had stockpiled during his 42-year dictatorship and he had already got the buy-in of the francophone block. Protests that arose in Libya during the Arab Spring were not organic like in Tunisia and Egypt but were an engineered cover for a CIA-backed coup to oust him and steal the gold. Rebels unwittingly went along with the plan because they were given weapons and allowed to set up fiefdoms in the East of the country.
To put this in perspective, if China could sell their lower cost cars in West Virginia USA with 0 tariffs then they would still be unaffordable to low wage earners here. So I guess let them run wild with tariffs because we cant afford anything anyway...
It isn't that there is a problem with alternative currency, the Euro being an example. It's what the countries behind BRICS stand for, antidemocratic and antifreemarket ideals. If it was just alternative currency, he would be going after all of them. He's taking a moral stand against Russia and China primarily and preparing his political base for that pivot.
US already too late to stop the shift, but USD will continue for a few decade before Inflation got to a level that burst the bubbles currently still building up.
Every country trade product and services! Not currency. If that is true product and service has “value “ based on the pruction cost which should be calculated accurately and therefore ready to sell for that value. Now , countries can trade it wherever they can make sense. I would suggest countries should allow at least 50% in local currency for international trade , so that books can be balanced all the time.
BRICS currency by mid July 2025. From reliable sources, 1 BRICS currency will = US $ 45.00. EU must join BRICS soon before it’s too late. From South Africa 🇿🇦
Weaponization of US dollar is not in their best interest - 😂😂😂 perhaps they should have thought of that before they froze Russia's funds , there is no turning back now
Tariffs is a great weapon but to weaponise it in trade war is a fatal mistake. This may bring better result on trade balance and job market in the short run but created hyperinflation and unemployment in the long run. China and US allies would take reciprocal tariffs on US exports too. There will be less business and less jobs between america and its trading partners.
Of course they 😅will, China had more economy strength than the weak US economy, 36 Trillion $ debt cash reserves not even half Trillion while China reserves are close to 4 Trillion. The US owns the way it walks to China.
oh sweet jesus is the next 4 years going to be great. Hopefully the next president can't dig the US out of the hole he's going to leave. Maybe after the next 2 terms.
Not as long America is one of their biggest customers. You think about it, you can't even stop your own people from wanting to go to the US, it's their dream, can you really think you can topple that
Sorry. I used to like trump when he is in the tv show and the books. But now he is nothing more than a clown who wants to build a family empire capitalising on the country.
I dont know if a BRICS currency could actually work, given the systemic tensions between India and China, and Russia not wanting to let either of these countries become too unilaterally powerful. However, why has no one paused and asked a very simple question... Why is it that the USD gets to be the reserve currency of the world in the first place? Is it because America led the Allies to victory in WW2, and bankrolled the Marshal plan? Perhaps its because their global military power projection provides pax Americana? (Peaceful doesnt seem the right description of the 21st century so far) The world seems to forget that the US federal reserve can print the USD at will, or geberate additional zeros on a digital ledger, and take on massive levels of debt that fuels their consumption, which the rest of the world, including Europe, is essentially enabling (subsidising) by agreeing to have the USD as the reserve currency. Why exactly is this the case. Curious if anyone has a compelling answer.
His statement even made it more important to
dedollarize! GO BRICS!
If nothing can replace the mighty dollar then why Trump is so afraid 😅

I learned everything I needed to know within the first 10 seconds of this interview. BRICS is an unlikely group and the guy can’t pronounce nuclear.
Like in old days, why can't we do trade in gold. Problem solved for all nations.
Because during WWII the gold standard proved to be to unstable
So everyone decided to pin their trade on the most stable currency at the time
Which was the US dollar
Bad idea, so is crypto for many reasons.
All that's said above is not wrong. But it misses a point. Any alternative payment infrastructure between other countries is wakening and undermining the dollar dominance. It is not necessary at all to "replace" it.
Dr. Evil 😂😂
Russia and China may survive without the dollar, but Brazil and India cannot.
China would collapse without trade with the U.S. and Europe
BRICS can't support their economy like the West does
Why not??
Russia is on its own with Putin.
India is already trading without the US dollar with 18 countries, especially for oil because that's where our weakness is from the imports point of view.
India is never in favour of any one country dominating the world be it the US, China, or even Russia. So, India just pursues its own interests rather than pandering to others interests like the EU.
That's why they joined BRICKS
The World: In America We Trust.
Okay, take emotion out of the dollar discussion
1. USA = 4.19 % of world population
2. EU = 5.59 % of world population
3. BRICS = 40 % of world population
So, the brics dollar may be unavoidable
Man I tried talking to people about this before the election and they just rolled their eyes. They don’t want to believe it so they don’t.
With an "expert" like him, it is no wonder the Western economy is spiraling down the drain. He is a joke
Brics will make Trump tariffs dumb and deaf yankee.🙉
Obviously the US dollar is not as dominant as before, but it is impossible for BRICS to come up with anything to compete against it. The conflicts within that bloc are far greater than their shared goals 😂
That's life. You have an excellent expert speaking who's able to break down complicated things in simple language and the comment section is overflowing with hate.
Yep, and insisting on their ideological views.
Because they didn’t understand what was said.
Next on Sprockets ve dance
The dollar might lose its reserve currency status, not because of anything BRICS does but because of the US federal deficit, now 7% of GDP. The subject was not mentioned during the recent election; neither party has any known plan for reducing it; and Trump's only idea is to raise more revenue from tariffs, while reducing taxes even further. Not even the USA can go on borrowing money for ever and ever. Sooner or later US bonds will seem increasingly risky and central banks will start to unload them. Gold reserves are already increasing for the first time in many years.
True
India and Brazil have no interest in abandoning their own money to use the RMB.
Trump want Canada to become a state of USA ,Super power 😁😁 🗿🗿🗿🗿
Oh my God! "My beautiful blue eyes" "my beautiful body" "the wonderful US economy" .....
This guy seems to be quite disconnected lol
Sounds like he is thinking they BRICS will have a single currency. This never been said lol.
Fraser tells it like it is! More Fraser please
Not another catch-22 issue. What’s in fact unacceptable is Iran’s regional retrograde bullying while Saudi Arabia’s crucial stance on BRICS for the near East is seemingly ambivalent. And Saudi Arabia has the numbers to show for 🙌🏼
welcome to the new era of hyper inflation
⚠️ ⚠️ India seems to be taking on a lot of various positions.
Companies... CEOs
Political party directly or indirectly by marriage.
Power clowns
Some European countries are already accepting BRICS currency. They are already in circulation. It is too late for Donald Trump to stop this from happening. The dollar will continue to fall.
Rapidly expanding BRICS+ and Partners are never interested in replacing the US$ but only determined to use their countries' currencies under the Currency Swap Mechanism in their own Trade and Business Transactions to reduce costs and political risks
How can trump challenge his boss piewtin? Somehow this makes zero sense.
🇺🇸 Must abide by Rules...
That's the only way out for $ safety. Full Stop.
They are already fighting amongst themselves, so good luck with that
The more threatens the more countries will join hands in de dollarisation!
Lol. Germany is just upset they haven't had world wide influence since 1943. It's OK west Poland, you'll get there one day.
My take from this 'conversation' is this, it wouldn't happen all of sudden or overnight, but it's a long slow pain and a trend that nobody could control, not even 'omnipotent' Trump.
It’s not all about the dollar, dominance in SWIFT, the settlement channel for all international payments is as big as the dollar.
A BRICS currency based on gold can be great! These countries collectively have a large repository of gold scattered across so it cannot be grabbed in one swoop like the USA and NATO did in Libya. Gaddafi was ousted in 2011 by Obama, Sarkozy, Cameron et al because he was in the process of setting up an African currency backed by tonnes of gold he had stockpiled during his 42-year dictatorship and he had already got the buy-in of the francophone block. Protests that arose in Libya during the Arab Spring were not organic like in Tunisia and Egypt but were an engineered cover for a CIA-backed coup to oust him and steal the gold. Rebels unwittingly went along with the plan because they were given weapons and allowed to set up fiefdoms in the East of the country.
To put this in perspective, if China could sell their lower cost cars in West Virginia USA with 0 tariffs then they would still be unaffordable to low wage earners here. So I guess let them run wild with tariffs because we cant afford anything anyway...
It isn't that there is a problem with alternative currency, the Euro being an example. It's what the countries behind BRICS stand for, antidemocratic and antifreemarket ideals. If it was just alternative currency, he would be going after all of them. He's taking a moral stand against Russia and China primarily and preparing his political base for that pivot.
Trump stands for antifreemarket and democratic ideals , maybe he should apply for brics membership
Lol. Anti democratic? Anti-free market? What are you talking about. The sanctions by the US are anti free market and anti democratic itself.
US already too late to stop the shift, but USD will continue for a few decade before Inflation got to a level that burst the bubbles currently still building up.
It's that Dieter from Sprockets? 😂
Trump. Jeff Strongman. Ha ha ha 😂
It's the way Trump says it that is harsh. The dollar will always be king, just like the country.
This joker " modi's friend " threatening India😂😂😂
Ever heard of Euro currency ? dollar is just a bully tool, sooner or later it will be the 2nd choice.
Every country trade product and services! Not currency. If that is true product and service has “value “ based on the pruction cost which should be calculated accurately and therefore ready to sell for that value. Now , countries can trade it wherever they can make sense. I would suggest countries should allow at least 50% in local currency for international trade , so that books can be balanced all the time.
The trope of "Russia is a Gas station masquerading as a country" 😂
Democracy is in full displays
Short answer: Yes.
Thank you.
BRICS currency by mid July 2025. From reliable sources, 1 BRICS currency will = US $ 45.00. EU must join BRICS soon before it’s too late. From South Africa 🇿🇦
Weaponization of US dollar is not in their best interest - 😂😂😂 perhaps they should have thought of that before they froze Russia's funds , there is no turning back now
US dollar dominance
Haha. Nein.
Tariffs is a great weapon but to weaponise it in trade war is a fatal mistake.
This may bring better result on trade balance and job market in the short run but created hyperinflation and unemployment in the long run.
China and US allies would take reciprocal tariffs on US exports too.
There will be less business and less jobs between america and its trading partners.
AMERICA? America is a big continent, he is refering to a country in the North of America, UNITED STATES, UNITED STATES,UNITED STATES,
Moscov??theyr toilet paper(ruble) is worth nothing and never was worth more than that 😂
Of course they 😅will, China had more economy strength than the weak US economy, 36 Trillion $ debt cash reserves not even half Trillion while China reserves are close to 4 Trillion. The US owns the way it walks to China.
Think Trump knows economics way better then this so called analyst
lol
oh sweet jesus is the next 4 years going to be great. Hopefully the next president can't dig the US out of the hole he's going to leave. Maybe after the next 2 terms.
@@DstinctI’m in Australian- got buckets of popcorn. It’s going to be quite a show.
This guy doesn't know what he's talking about.
Not as long America is one of their biggest customers. You think about it, you can't even stop your own people from wanting to go to the US, it's their dream, can you really think you can topple that
Rubbish. It will hit hard and unexpected
Utterly Absurd
This channel losing its credibility…
Well said 🙏🏽
Sorry. I used to like trump when he is in the tv show and the books. But now he is nothing more than a clown who wants to build a family empire capitalising on the country.
I dont know if a BRICS currency could actually work, given the systemic tensions between India and China, and Russia not wanting to let either of these countries become too unilaterally powerful.
However, why has no one paused and asked a very simple question...
Why is it that the USD gets to be the reserve currency of the world in the first place? Is it because America led the Allies to victory in WW2, and bankrolled the Marshal plan? Perhaps its because their global military power projection provides pax Americana? (Peaceful doesnt seem the right description of the 21st century so far)
The world seems to forget that the US federal reserve can print the USD at will, or geberate additional zeros on a digital ledger, and take on massive levels of debt that fuels their consumption, which the rest of the world, including Europe, is essentially enabling (subsidising) by agreeing to have the USD as the reserve currency.
Why exactly is this the case. Curious if anyone has a compelling answer.
Call in the American loan debt
I really feel there should be neutral currency, why should one country able to control currency and trade of the globe ?
What If opec refuse to utilise dollar?
This guy has either no idea or talk's on purpose
Trump will make them fold like a cheap suit!!! 😂
Tangible and concrete. Printed dollars are any thing but that .Anybody see a pattern
BRICS could only dream😴😴😴
Once Trump takes office the dollar is out.
