  1. It doesn’t have to be a single 1 to 1 replacement, a combination of currencies will rise to take the place of the US dollar.

    1. the dollar isn’t going anywhere..it will be weaker, but it’s not going to be replaced. it will be part of a currency basket.

    2. @pclipfourtytwo – The Chinese are not trying to replace the US$, they are trying to replace the US Banks and the SWIFT system so that the USA gains less & less visibility into the currency and even less of an opportunity to confiscate.

    1. Not true. They are destroying the dollar for the digital currency. It’s gonna happen so much sooner than you think.

    2. 100%

      But the real reason why we won’t lose reserve status is not because we’re strong but the other fiat currencies are just as bad therefore USD remains reserved currency but mostly used for necessary transactions like oil etc etc

    3. While it is not deceased, it is dying, and the math and utter criminality and stupidity at the top guarantee it.

    4. The dollar has already lost it’s value. Now how fast it will stop being the world reserve currency will be a geometric progression not linear.

  2. He makes a great case for dollar utility. That’s only so long as dollar liquidity is maintained by the FED.

  3. I think things may stay glued together until something physical happens, like we lose a ship or two.

  4. The only thing that is holding the dollar up is we actually have no idea how much of the world economy is traded outside of Swift. I’ve heard it is as much as 52% already. But because we don’t know it is like a private equity.

    1. Correct. According to official sources (which paints an overly rosy picture of the dollar’s usage), the swift network has gradually declined globally from ~95% in 2006 to ~78% in 2026 as a percentage of overall global high-value cross-border interbank messaging. Saying that the dollar is increasing in global usage – while the swift system is declining in usage globally – is misleading.

    2. The Forbes list is probably 60% off because of that same kind of situation. People have made hundreds of billions of dollars without ever owning any significant stocks. The economy is harder to monitor than central planners believe. I am going to a meeting today about a private oil field, and a portfolio of tens of thousands of individual assets. None of this is on a report that can be found online. The stock portion of the ledger is almost insignificant.

    3. Precisely. It’s a fundamental flaw in the analysis. Why do u think China/ Russia and the EU have been building their own financial architecture.

  5. The Central Bank may not go bust when it’s out of assets but the country or region that backs it will get hyper-inflation. This normally leads to war, internal and possibly external.

  6. George if the U.S. loses reserve status we will experience a decline in our standard of living at a more rapid pace, in my opinion. We will be forced to live within our means , no more $Trillion dollar deficits. The credit card will be cut off. If we can’t just print more dollars, which we are getting ready to do, taxes will rise and we be in recession over night. This is the “kicking the can” down the road. The road has a dead end. A painful retrenchment.

  7. Fair and blunt assessment. Thanks for sharing. China does not want their currency to be the reserve currency as they see more disadvantages than advantages, for now. But they also want to decouple from the US dollars for those reasons mentioned. Thus, they are creating their own trading arrangements (outside of SWIFT and these transactions are not reported) with other countries so that they don’t have to hold so much US dollar and the percentage will grow moving forward. One must distinguish between Trading Currency and Reserve Currency as they are very different.

    1. You seem to be a billionaire well endowed with the knowledge of what and how to exactly run countries and economies. Oh great Prometheus, bless us with your fire of knowledge

    2. ​@ErosArkheinym Hmmm, you haven’t been watching the news so I’m not sure if you understand exactly what’s going on. Your comment seems silly at this point, as if you don’t understand people are struggling badly. I think I am talking to a MAGA person so I will propbably end the exchange here because you don’t want to understand actual fact and you will probably never call out the bullshit that Trump does. Good luck.

  8. Swift is just a payment software. Software does not take 25 years to develop these days. China already has a payment system and already supplying swap lines to several countries. Russia also has a payment system. EU is building one if it isn’t built already. That happened in 5 years. Everyone realized how many benefits there are in doing business in your own currency.

    1. SWIFT is only used for standardized payment instructions and messages; the actual settlement takes place between banks.

  9. Very interesting really enjoyed. If the exchange rate of the dollar become more volatile because of inflation could that counter the efficiency of transaction argument ie a BRICS system may be more cumbersome but more certain?

  10. Seeing money as a platform is a fantastic point of view! George’s white board videos are one of the most important educational pieces in the entire YouTube.

  11. That’s exactly my thoughts as well. The big decline in the system, the big bust of dollars is another 25-30 years away. It’s kinda comical to me to see the alarmists at this time. Some have been going on since the 80s. There are huge risks in the current system, but the dedollarization and dumping of dollars is gradual, not instant.
