I can understand America's concerns about the expanding geography of brics, as this could create a global market parallel to the current global trade market. However, I see no reason to fear for the position of the $$$ in the global market as a whole. Even brics member countries, including China and Russia, cannot completely eliminate the use of the US dollar. Likewise, no BRICS country can impose its currency as an alternative to dollar transactions, as this would create a new reality with the same crises, in which we would simply replace the dollar with another currency. Furthermore, it does not look obvious that the brics countries are ready to issue a new unified currency for use in trade.
There can be a new currency called BRICS!
But you are forgetting that it is not about dollar losing its dominance, it is all about US regime not being able to dictate anything any more. When they can't force Japan for example to destroy its own economy to revive US economy (Plaza Accord thingy), if they can't force the Arabs to give pay them billions in ransom, if they can't force the world to purchase their debt and import their inflation,... all that printed dollar and all that inflation goes back home to roost ...

That makes many products disappear in the shelfs of Walmart and Bestbuy.
In other words the middle class in America is about to be screwed because of Trump's tariff war... No wonder they have been protesting a lot across the US and many have been calling him a fascist!

The goal of BRICS is de-dollarization and that means reducing dependence on the USD, they are not saying that they will completely eliminate USD from international trade.

Although the USD still dominates foreign exchange reserves and trade, its dominance is clearly waning, especially in the first half of 2025. As the value of the US dollar fell more than 10% against a basket of world currencies, it was the worst decline since 1973.

Unlike before, all commercial transactions use USD. But now some countries, especially the BRICS bloc, are using currencies like CNY, RUB instead of USD...so it would be incorrect to say that the position of USD is not under threat.

I completely rule out this scenario in the near and medium term. It is too early to discuss its ambitions, given that it includes countries friendly to America and unable to abandon the current global financial system led by the US dollar.

The US with its current administration has made it clear to all former friends, that America 1st is really America alone.
The administration has noticed and backpedaled, but trust is easily lost and hard to regain. 
I agree with you on the position of the current US administration, which wants to maintain America's leadership in the global economy. I somewhat agree with the US position because the US economy cannot maintain its superiority without the influence it imposes on the entire global market. Brics represents a real threat to American power if it grants more authority in a free global market.

What I disagree with you is that this is only the position of the current US administration. I believe this has always been its position under successive presidents. The Trump administration is the most clear in its positions, but this must be understood within the framework of a general US strategy and not specific to the current Trump administration. Trump will leave after his term ends, and his successor will maintain the same policy.
When you say that America is not taking a new position, I do not consider your words false. Their national interests have kept on taking priority over international solidarity as we have always witnessed. But I believe there is an important distinction between a policy-in-disguise of diplomacy and such an overt one as the Trump era. When a superpower takes such a drastic step as quitting an agreement publicly it is not looking at the short term. It destabilizes the trend of international collaboration that has been excruciatingly wrought.

Other countries cannot be faulted when they now begin to seek alternative options such as the BRICS. This is the time when even trust can be a source of power rather than economic muscle. And as America keeps this exclusive position, a greater realignment of power than ever is a possibility we all may observe. You are correct, it is not all about who is president. Nevertheless, the delivery style and the executive decisions also make a massive influence on the world perceptions.

Here are some important qualities that every entrepreneur should look out for and must possess if they are to be successful.

____Passion
_____Adaptability
_____Creativity
_____Resilience
_____Discipline
_____Strong communication skills
_____Curiosity
_____Networking
_____Risk taking
_____Embracing failure
_____Decision making
_____Optimism
_____Visionary
I know established entrepreneurs in the market who don't have any of the qualities you mentioned. All they have is money. Their sole mission is to provide liquidity. They hire market research specialists and expert consultants, then hire profiles whose job is to implement the project and who have all the necessary expertise.

I was wondering just how this could be, entrepreneurs not having any of these qualities except money to assemble a team that could deliver what he would want. Even that too is a quality you know, to be able to use money in this way means, the entrepreneur is;
Visionary
Optimistic and
Risk taker.

One thing is to have the money and the other is to be able to put it out there in a dependable investment that it isn’t your idea entirely.

It's OK with "risk taker". However he can always hire those who are Visionary Optimistic and also Risk taker. Investment whales are those who have enough funds to fund a variety of projects in different sectors without any efforts. They have teams of experts specialized in studing the market and hunt for opportunities.
Entrepreneurs are the persons who are handling multiplayer businesses at a time and these are the people who are Investing their money and they have more than 500 employees and they are paying the salaries of these people who doing work with their company. They are taking risks because they are not stuck with a job which is giving only money and they have free time to spend money. They created many qualities and after they became successful in their mission. These are the people who are passionate from the childhood to become an entrepreneur and after a few years they became successful because they are consistent in life and no one can compete them.They are not hiring low quality people who can destroy their businesses.

Yes but DT does ignore or wishes not to acknowledge certain things, like the trade surplus goes 2 ways.
BRICS countries will be handled with doble tariffs, one for the country and another tariff for being BRICS.
That makes many products disappear in the shelfs of Walmart and Bestbuy.
The next 3 month will show.

The bloc is growing silently. Despite all the interpretations of the global political scene, the expansion of BRICS to include more emerging economies cannot be ignored. But does this really worry America in particular, given that it is the only country leading the anti-BRICS alliance? After the Russian-American rapprochement on the Ukraine issue, it seems that things have returned to tension following Trump's decision to continue supporting Ukraine with weapons and equipment. The joining of more countries to BRICS coincided with the divergence between Russia and America in their positions on their respective foreign policies.

The presence of the BRICS naturally raises concerns for the United States, as this move could further weaken the dollar and further weaken US dominance in the international arena. Most recently, Indonesia recently joined the BRICS, a move that has angered the US. Indonesia, despite its considerable influence in Southeast Asia, could become a trigger for other ASEAN countries to follow suit and abandon the US dollar.

Surprisingly, after Indonesia joined the BRICS, it immediately faced US sanctions in the form of a 10% increase in its tax rate, from 22% to 32%. I believe this will backfire on the US, as these sanctions could further encourage Indonesia to abandon the US dollar and strengthen its ties with the BRICS countries.

If cryptocurrencies disappear - how will your life change ?
This is called an impossible hypothesis since the didn't explain how it could happen. The only possibility is that the internet and electricity go out across the entire planet, possibly due to a meteor or a collision with a neighboring planet, and we lose all the servers that hold copies of the blockchain. If someone can explain how this scenario could happen, I can then consider how not just my own but all of our lives would change.

The scenario of crypto suddenly disappearing completely is impossible, there is no viable reason or hypothesis that suggests it could happen. But a major collapse like the tulip bubble or the dotcom bubble is possible and we should not be too subjective.

Although there is a huge difference between dotcoms and bitcoin, because bitcoin is a decentralized asset not owned by any company, and its value is based on scarcity and trust in its network. But what they have in common is excessive speculation, and this can easily lead to a major crash if speculators withdraw their capital en masse. That would certainly cause serious damage as well.
In any case, this doesn't mean that Bitcoin will disappear for one reason or another, even if it is still driven by speculation. In the current cryptocurrency market, there is no one performing better than Bitcoin, so even the scenario you mentioned is unlikely to occur unless a cryptocurrency emerges that is superior to Bitcoin in every aspect of efficiency.
I know that the current price of Bitcoin may be slightly exaggerated, but at the same time, I understand why. Therefore, the decline in Bitcoin's value does not mean that it will disappear or lose its value entirely. There is a market whose factors control everything.
Really that very hard to believe that we would be hitting up this kind of situation but we do know that there's always that possibility or probability that it could happen. It is just that very hard to believe that it would be replaced by into its top spot or would be that totally goes down into the rank and been that beaten up by other coins in the market on which just like been said that its almost impossible to happen. Now in speaking about disappearing then it would be also that hard to believe on which trying to look on how crypto deeply rooted now, then it cant disappear into something from snap. If there would be some isues that being faced like having those exploits or any related problems then there would be a crash but it wont be able to completely put up its price to $0.

Quote from: coupable on Today at 06:06:22 PM
Great news. Bitcoin has shown yet again that it is a profitable asset. It has also shamed critics and haters who have been predicting the doomsday of Bitcoin. This is just the beginning of more big wins for Bitcoin.
These people were unable to counter Bitcoin's growing popularity, so they chose to fight it. They believed they could halt Bitcoin's success by opposing it through media campaigns, but they forgot that Bitcoin derives its popularity from its use cases, as well as its great investment opportunity as a store of value.

FUD will always be where progress marches, but they can't fight what is sincere in its cause.

BTC will prevail any of them Cool

Quote from: coupable on July 06, 2025, 11:40:46 PM
What is the importance of this? The cracks are becoming deeper. Things may go bad quickly if small banks fail, or the government support declines. When the economy in the U.S sneezes, the world catches a cold. The dollar losing trust would make Bitcoin and crypto even more interesting

Despite all this, a lot of people remain optimistic, or at least continue to struggle. Individuals are relocating to new towns, acquiring new talents, or resorting to crypto and side hustles to live a better life. Sometimes, politics makes us fight, but the real battle is for a future where everyone has a chance
Determining the timeframe is very important in this approach. Has this always been the case, or is it a result of the new policies led by Trump administration? The answer to this question is specific and can provide answers to all your other questions.
It is assumed that dividing the American economy into two halves will turn them into two opposing fronts, because a unified economy cannot be managed with two different policies. However, what has saved the American economy so far is the nature of the federal system, which gives each state the authority to manage its own affairs and internal systems. However, this may not last long if Trump continues with his policies, which lead to further division.
Totally agree, we cannot blame everything on headlines. The “two Americas” story started way before Trump. If you look back, the tech boom built huge wealth in cities while old factory and farm jobs faded out. Some say this split has been growing for decades. Trump just made the divide more visible, maybe even faster and sharper.

The federal system is what keeps the engine running, even when the states feel like rivals. Local control is the safety valve. But, like you said, if national policy keeps fueling the split (by picking winners and losers between states or sectors) maybe that safety valve stops working.

Maybe the real risk inot just division, but a system where local solutions aren't enough to fix national-level shocks. That's when the real trouble could start. Or maybe, the local strength is what lets America adapt and keep surprising everyone.
