The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup 242: Navigating De-Dollarization: The Emergence of a BRICS Commodity-Backed Currency
TODAY'S PRESENTATION ON DE-DOLLARIZATION AND A BRICS COMMODITY-BACKED RESERVE CURRENCY
- I break down why many nations are currently fleeing the dollar, paving the way for new potential reserve currencies.
- Tune in as I go through a number of headlines from around the world highlighting the steps many countries are taking towards de-dollarization.
- I lay out which countries I believe will join up with the BRICS countries, including a few that may surprise you.
- I dig further into the prospects of a BRICS reserve currency, and just what it might be backed by.
- Listen as I explain how this de-dollarization movement might not only threaten the U.S. dollar but the very use of fiat currencies in the global economy.
- I further look at the sheer vastness of the BRICS countries in terms of sheer size, population and resources. It’s truly mindblowing to think of the potential of their combined power.
- I address the biggest question my audience will be asking: so how do we play this? What can we do to profit off of what is to come?
- Aside from the question of which commodities to play, I also look further at the pros and cons of each of the BRICS nations themselves.
- Lastly, I answer the question on everyone’s mind “What am I doing with all of this information?” I offer a glimpse into my financial strategy going forward as it pertains to de-dollarization and the BRICS nations.
