I wouldn’t worry, fiat is on its last leg . Digitals will be here in the next 10 years. There will be a world currency no matter how they all try to avoid it. Its inevitable. However No-one has the money to drive the US out. We are the top technological , medical, innovation, and military industrial complex. If the entire world fought united against the US . They wouldnt have a snowballs chance in hell. People dont understand the location of the US is perfect. We havent even tapped 90% of resources. We have more untapped oil than Saudi Arabia.
The US dollar cannot survive without continuous credit and debt creation. The FED will print more money and the average American will go just that much further in debt. Meanwhile, foreigners lust for the greenback. Their economies are in worse condition than the US... if that's even possible. Someone is going to be left holding the bag...
Gold might crash in a liquidity crunch, but many precious metal holders are prepared for this and unlikely to be forced sellers. The paper market would tank and possibly collapse. Hearing from an experienced investor who has overcome adversity is motivating.

I live in argentina, and I studied economics in the USA. I dont believe the inflation numbers published in the US. Real number is probably MUCH higher.

Argentina just told brics to F off , we are with the USA ..better talk to your government that u trust these dictators more and wanna be like North Korea or Iran
The reason the mortgage rates were so much lower in the US than in Russia is BECAUSE the US has had the luxury of exporting north of 70% of it's inflation to the world. People "have it so good" in the US at the expense of everyone else using dollars around the world. I completely understand why countries want to ditch the dollar.
On the contrary - if the world held more dollars - they would tend to experience LESS inflation. But it's not quite that simple. Countries create their own inflation by printing their own money with an INABILITY to export their currency (which is what the US is able to do).
@@AndreiJikh So you just proved my point. Russia, in the mortgage case, couldn't offer more competitive rates BECAUSE they can't export their inflation the way the US can. If they would have offered the same rate as the US at the time, they would experience a lot more inflation, because once again, they CAN'T export their inflation the way the US can.
@AndreiJikh interest rates are higher in Russia because they can afford it, dude 😂 They have savings. It is basic economics. Try jacking up rates in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Japan, or Europe and the want to be G6 will default 😂
In Australia, our rates keep going up because AUKUS. The most stupidest alliance to ever exist. Legit citizens are SUFFERING because of Americans and their never ending debt.

This is a good topic. The US has been weaponizing the USD and countries are reducing their risk / exposure for self-preservation. Many smaller countries / Territories are using USD as their currency (i.e. Panama, Equador, etc) and US inflation has an even bigger impact on their economies (and people) due to the decrease in purchasing power. Additionally, US debt / GDP is currently around 125% and increasing rapidly, resulting in decrease confidence in ability of the US to service its debt obligations. US debt is not as attractive as it once was, just look at the recent bond offerings, very few takers. In fact many countries are divesting US debt. . Let's not forget the IMF and World Bank and how they bully smaller countries. There is a lot more going on here.
Nonsense... Russian have abundance resources of area, you name it...And in mordern age everyone including developed country and developing countries need it, Russian can provide does, Russian size as big as 2.5 time the size of USA and 140 million population can easily sustain the inflation due to Russian size from oil export to agriculture export.... Even if Russian lets its natural resources be assest for ruble it would attract and influence many countries to try it

Hi Andrei, I remember in the US interest rates for mortgages being 16+% as well, back in the mid 1980's. Most of the world used to be about 50 years behind the US on most everything. Now I think because of technologies it's almost equal, if not surpassing the US in many categories of technologies.
It is all the more important to take the time to take in all the different perspectives of the news today and accurately describe the narrative as best as possible.

Andrei, even though you have close ties with Russia, you seem to know nothing concerning the war in Ukraine, nor the causes leading up to this war, or the causes for Russia's economic requirements. The economic situation in Russia is not bad, considering all the sanctions and adverse conditions that the EU and the US have implemented. Maturity on your part will occur when you realize that Nato, the US military complex, neo-cons, the EU, Merkel, and Obama are the primary reason for the war in Ukraine. (Reference Lindsay Grahm's reasoning for wanting Ukraine) Russia wanted to be closer to the EU, however Putin was not going to allow another nation to be converted to Nato at its border. After the fall of the USSR there were agreements (treaties) that Nato would not consume nations that were broken apart from the old USSR. (Look at the list of nations that Nato have converted on their border). I completely understand that Russia does not have the freedoms, nor economy of the US, but if you compare parts of the US (San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle, St. Louis, DC, Philadelphia, LA, New York and others) with parts of Russia, you will realize the US is falling apart. Yes, the US may be the "best house in town", but that doesn't mean it doesn't need some major repairs. (Reference the Minsk agreement and the Odessa Massacre also). Russia is defending its border from Nato intrusion and suffering the consequences because of this. In conjunction Putin is an elected leader, we in the US have an elected cue card and teleprompter. In Ukraine, they have a dictator.
I prefer these videos. I found you when you were talking us all through Covid and to be honest, I relate to your big-picture mindset. The Macroeconomics is fascinating, especially with the global energy transition, the Climate Crisis, and imaginary borders revealing themselves to be flimsy. Thanks for the content! "petrodollar" as a term totally changed my life.
The world over is sick of the U.S hegemony and Russia made EVERY effort to avoid this war and NATO just needed to pay one ounce of respect to Russia and their concerns on expansion. Ukraine hitched their horse to the wrong wagon and now they are paying the price.
@@dekumutant they’re thinking about it to balance the influence of the superpowers in Vietnam but I don’t think Vietnam will benefit a great deal from dedollarization

Bruh i believe any country that is being surrounded by the hegemonic power that constantly puts out news that my country is interfering with the elections (they didn’t) and has denied my entry in the very same organization all my ex-allies have joined, and then having a country that historically is the area where my country has been invaded in, join in that group, that is for sure an existential crisis. Especially when this hegemonic power has been tied to the following regime changes/ attempts at changes: Chile, Libya, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Cuba, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Venezuela, and the list goes on. But y’all just see the invasion. There is decades of this building up and with the US leading the way to where we’re today. But people just see the invasion smh. And damn near we all supported Zelensky back in 2022. I thought dude was a hero at first. But then I really started researching. 2024, very different opinion now as you can tell. I’m open to talk rather than being called a Russiabot, which is another way we inadvertently do what our MSM is doing, which is to kill civil, productive, and honest discussions regardless if we agree or not.
@@maureenviolaAnd the West expanded NATO beyond the agreements. This was a matter of time and was entirely avoidable. Keep Ukraine neutral. Keep Ukraine out of NATO. Ukraine stop mistreating the Russians living under your rule. Putin saw the ultra weak leadership in the US (President Puddinghead) and the weak militaries and anemic economies hampered by 'green' policies in Europe and the rest is history.

Thank you for this video. Pleasantly surprised that you have Russian roots! I subscribed to your channel to improve my listening skills, and it's a pleasure to watch your videos! As a Russian, I agree with what you said. I would add that mortgage interest rates have risen even above 20 percent. And many people left the country since the war had started

I completely understand that Russia does not have the freedoms, nor economy of the US, but if you compare parts of the US (San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle, St. Louis, DC, Philadelphia, LA, New York and others) with parts of Russia, you will realize the US is falling apart. Yes, the US may be the "best house in town", but that doesn't mean it doesn't need some major repairs. (Reference the Minsk agreement and the Odessa Massacre also). Russia is defending its border from Nato intrusion and suffering the consequences because of this. In conjunction Putin is an elected leader, we in the US have an elected cue card and teleprompter. In Ukraine, they have a dictator.
Exactly. 100% agree with you
GREAT VIDEO Andrei‼️ I love learning this stuff with you; keep it coming man!!! 🙏
You’re like the new John Oliver!!
GREAT WORK !
I prefer these videos. I found you when you were talking us all through Covid and to be honest, I relate to your big-picture mindset. The Macroeconomics is fascinating, especially with the global energy transition, the Climate Crisis, and imaginary borders revealing themselves to be flimsy. Thanks for the content! "petrodollar" as a term totally changed my life.
The world over is sick of the U.S hegemony and Russia made EVERY effort to avoid this war and NATO just needed to pay one ounce of respect to Russia and their concerns on expansion. Ukraine hitched their horse to the wrong wagon and now they are paying the price.
So True
Hi Andrei, these geopolitical videos are great. I'd love to see more. One question: How do countries buy USD? Not sure how that works. Cheers
Your voice is fine man. Dude this video was awesome! Very well put together, thanks!
I appreciate that!
Truly awesome content buddy, keep em coming!
huh? immediately drafted into Russia's war? are you serious?
that was funny 😂😂
Pretty sure he thinks that’s how all wars work
Exactly. I was like - what? 🙄
And I'm having fun listening😊
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos 🙏
Welcome to multiplayer world
Really great video. You can see lots of time and diligence went into this and I appreciate it ☺️
Scary bro!
I love the documentary style! Keep em coming 🤙🏾
Thanks! Will do!
Well presented, as always. Thank you for the info.
My pleasure!
Keep posting this kind of video. I love them!
Lol in what world is Vietnam part of that bloc
@@dekumutant they’re thinking about it to balance the influence of the superpowers in Vietnam but I don’t think Vietnam will benefit a great deal from dedollarization
@@PhucNguyen-jf6oq bro Vietnam did START the dedollarization by letting the US blow up their gold standard in a war against men with sticks they could not beat. I will always thank Vietnam for their sacrifice to save the world from the US government
Thank you! I am stunned how easily you explain complex transactions. Thank you once again!!!
Uhm, hold on- if you seriously think "Putin's war" is useless, you should not be lecturing anybody, about anything.
He violated a boundary of a sovereign nation
The whole Putin did this because he’s evil sound just like US invaded the Middle East to defend democracy.
Bruh i believe any country that is being surrounded by the hegemonic power that constantly puts out news that my country is interfering with the elections (they didn’t) and has denied my entry in the very same organization all my ex-allies have joined, and then having a country that historically is the area where my country has been invaded in, join in that group, that is for sure an existential crisis.
Especially when this hegemonic power has been tied to the following regime changes/ attempts at changes:
Chile, Libya, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Cuba, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Venezuela, and the list goes on.
But y’all just see the invasion. There is decades of this building up and with the US leading the way to where we’re today. But people just see the invasion smh. And damn near we all supported Zelensky back in 2022. I thought dude was a hero at first. But then I really started researching.
2024, very different opinion now as you can tell. I’m open to talk rather than being called a Russiabot, which is another way we inadvertently do what our MSM is doing, which is to kill civil, productive, and honest discussions regardless if we agree or not.
@@maureenviolaAnd the West expanded NATO beyond the agreements. This was a matter of time and was entirely avoidable. Keep Ukraine neutral. Keep Ukraine out of NATO. Ukraine stop mistreating the Russians living under your rule. Putin saw the ultra weak leadership in the US (President Puddinghead) and the weak militaries and anemic economies hampered by 'green' policies in Europe and the rest is history.
@@bassmanjr100the green policy would be fine if they just installed nuclear reactors and pushed more into tech. The problem is the policies those countries make in general are just hot garbage
Thank you for this video. Pleasantly surprised that you have Russian roots! I subscribed to your channel to improve my listening skills, and it's a pleasure to watch your videos! As a Russian, I agree with what you said. I would add that mortgage interest rates have risen even above 20 percent. And many people left the country since the war had started
In the end of times everybody is going to be using a one world currency system.
According to whom?
Excellent video, so refreshing to have what’s going on broken down into simple terms, thank you!
Its not Russia against the west, its Russia against US aggresion. Maybe get that right first.
Thanks for making macroeconomics vids, it's mainly all I watch in general. Hope your family is safe and ok right now (Ukraine and Russia). It's pretty sad you can't go visit them for the foreseeable future, and who knows when you'll be able to.
I hope so too, thank you
Anyone can easily go to Russia with no issues at all. I just visited in April and had the best time!!
I came for the cardistry ❤❤❤
Yes it was TERRIFIC today
this.
To be fair, we complain about inflation because it’s not 3.4% $100 used to be able to get your groceries for the week now you have to spend about $200 for the week to get your groceries. Let’s be real
Saudi Arabia and about 65 other countries will not do anything to undermine the US dollar, as their currency (like the Saudi Riyal) are pegged to the US dollar.
May be they need Euro but not US dollar for sure
@@MikhailFromUSA the pound is much stronger than the euro but 113 countries are dependent on the dollar , only about 80 even use the euro .
However the US is really the only superpower in the world .
If the US left Nato you know how screwed europe would be ?
...Did you miss the news about SA dropping the petrodollar?
@@mojojojo560 Did you understand that this is just propaganda being pushed by crypto people. There never was a 100% alliance requirement for Saudi to only use the US$.
@@Bugginout79 that would be good for Europe, they would stop war with Russia and get gas at 1/4 of what they pay for US gas now
Love it!! Keep these coming .. very educational
Russia didnt ditch US DOLLAR...
US DOLAR DITCHED RUSSIA😂
ha that's technically true
The dollar was used as a weapon for decades. Technically the counties are ditching it
TRUE3
Really
Great for Russia!! 👏👏👏
I love your channel mate.
Keep releasing these quality pieces.
And for the record, this isn't boring at all.
Macro is dope; appreciate the breakdown.
Great video content as always Thanks, Andrei. The grand prize would be a CBDC - which would benefit international businesses who follow the BIS.
It could very well be a CBDC (though some people I think are rightful to be skeptical of it)
Andrei is always the best ❤🫶
Your are wrong
Russia signed many agreements
But if you play a jenga you know the correct move will lead to de dollarization
You explain these things so well. Hats off to you man!!
Great Subject Andri!
Awesome video!!! Content and quality amazing as always!!!
A misleading video where US is teflon resistant from any blame. Your video needs to be more balanced.
You just want your feelings comforted? Or truth?
@@camzaro The truth be nice else one might make a poor investment decision.
Need a hug bro
Awesome content, thanks for the great work.
Came for the info, stayed for the foresight.
Was interested in first half, then you started your anti Putin and pro US establishment rant.
awesome video bro 🤙🏼
Appreciate it!!
Very well explained..big thx
Glad it was helpful!
As a Cuban American, I appreciate this. I personally like your longer videos on the economy. I was starting to wonder if you’re OK you’ve been gone for a while.
Is so difficult not to lie nowadays...Whatsoever happen to their values...? You honestly believe it is not wrong to impose unilateral sanction on another country? Is this not against International Law?
Outstanding video and commentary, thanks!
Inflation numbers aren’t even real here though. 😂
What?
@@Saber23shut up
Very informative, we appreciate the great work brother.
