"Brics currencies are no realistic alternative to the dollar The OMFIF once again talks about "dollar replacement." This is a "red herring" designed to get you to agree and say yes. Hell even I would say yes to BRICS being unable to replace the dollar The more nuanced issue is whether BRICS can use local currencies to break the dollar's monopoly and fragment the dollar marketplace The answer to that question is most definitely yes The author is a friend though I think he is simply fixated on asking the wrong question"

"US stablecoin legislation may just make the rich richer "The winners of the digital asset industry and stablecoins specifically are already well-entrenched. The GENIUS Act will act as a boon to stablecoin activity generally with the primary beneficiaries being not just those entrenched issuers but the established exchanges and digital asset pairs who will enjoy increased volume involving their products and as a result an increase in fees. In other words: the rich will get richer. " #fintech #tech #finserv #AI @BetaMoroney @efipm @BrettKing @spirosmargaris @jasuja @enricomolinari @mikeflache"

"Hi Kathleen I agree it is none of the US's business but in support of the Visa and MC duopoly the US is prepared to jump in and declare unfair practices. The irony of this is that rather than learning from Brazil's PIX and finding out how they built a revolutionary payment system the US simply seeks to shut it down. Note also the Anti-CBDC Act not only did they ban a CBDC but outlawed the research. This lack of intellectual freedom and curiosity is very saddening"
