Here is something you don't understand

Dollar as a percentage of countries foreign reserves has been declining since 2000 with the introduction of the Euro currency, but countries foreign reserves are increasing exponentially so in actual terms. dollar holdings are rising

The Euro was supposed to be the dollar killer. It took marketshare but the overall dollar holdings increased

Countries that used to have $50bln in reserves are having $300bln plus now

50% of $300bln is better than 80% of $50bln

The Euro chopped the 30% but overall dollar demand is rising amongst countries, not to talk of the common man across the world who always holds dollar. How many Nigerians were holding dollar in 2000 compared to now? Even 90% of the Putards on this thread have held or used dollar, something the average Nigerian didn't do 20 years ago.


Not to mention Financial institutions. BlackRock alone has more dollar denominated assets under management than all countries in the worlds reserves put together. Just dey play with your caveman analysis from Putins desk

Your jingoistic analytical underplay vis-a-vis the US dollar and the harsh realities of the current global economy intertwined in US geopolitical bullying is not only self-glorifying but pathetically myopic.

Now, take a gad damn seat, grab a world map, list out the countries in it, and divide them into developed and developing nations. Done?

Now, ask yourself, among the developing nations of the world, how many of them have recorded growth in their foreign reserves for the last decade, particularly since COVID-19, Let alone "exponential growth? Let me help you... 75% of all the developing nations of the world have experienced a decline in their foreign reserves for the past years. This is unprecedented because you have more nations in the "developing class" than you have in the "developed class."

Now. Among the developed nations, how many of them have seen a huge rise in their share of US dollars in their foreign reserves? How many of them hold the dollar as a percentage of their foreign reserves account than their own national or regional currency as in the case of the Euro? Even among the developed nations, many are looking for ways to cut down dependence on the US dollar.

Contrary to what you want to believe, those central banks whose foreign exchange reserve has increased for the past 20 years, their percentage in US dollars has dropped significantly from 70% to 60 between 2000 to 2022.


The threat to the US dollar as a base currency is real. No thanks to the US government weaponizing it as a geopolitical and economic weapon to inflict pain on perceived adversaries. This has set alarm bells ringing across the world, particularly in the wake of the Ukrainian crisis. Nations that were in the past merely considering looking for alternatives to the dollar have been given an excuse to take actionable steps in that direction. For instance, for the first time since the Brenton Woods arrangement, Saudi Arabia and the UAE settled oil trades in currencies other than the US dollar. The emergence of BRICS has added more fuel to the already heating fire.

Guy, there is a reason why the potential incoming Donald Trump's economic team is now considering ways to stop nations from moving away from the US dollar. Even recently, Biden's economic officials decry the threat facing the US dollar. And it's rightly so.

This excerpt said it all...

"The US economy’s share in the world’s output is falling as emerging economies, especially China, continue to outgrow the US and its Western partners. China, the US’s biggest economic competitor, is now the main trading partner to more than 120 countries, with exports amounting to more than US$3.6 trillion (£2.8 billion). This risks leaving the US behind in the race for global trade dominance.

Over the last 20 years, China’s share of the global economy has more than doubled from 8.9% to 18.5% while the US’s share declined from 20.1% to 15.5% in purchasing power parity terms (which compares prices of specific goods to determine currency purchasing power).

Last year, the BRICS economies (fast-growth developing countries Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) overtook those of the G7 (developed economies US, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, and Germany) based on their share of world GDP in purchasing power parity terms. "

With more nations poised to join the BRICS, and with a new currency set to debut possibly next year when the next BRICS summit is held in Brazil coming year, the dollar's decline is set to continue.

No one is saying that the dollar will lose its supremacy tomorrow. It would take one or two decades for that to happen. However, the path has been laid, and from all indications, there is no going back.

Come back in 2 decades if you are still alive

I just told you BlackRock alone has more Assets Under Management than all countries reserves combined, with jara left, you still dey do caveman analysis, counting billions in foreign reserves when people are holding trillions in dollar denominated assets

Your father never used dollar 20 years ago, today you use dollar in various forms from paying for courses to crypto.

⚡French President Emmanuel Macron believes that Europe has a large number of external and internal enemies and “may die.”

"We have never had so many external and internal enemies. I really believe that our Europe can die."

Whatever was built on stolen wealth shouldn't last.

Europe was built by wealth stolen from other continents, especially Africa.

Without the wealth of these continents, Europe would have remained a badland.

I've noticed that most of these EU/NATO/Western backed regimes don't have the support of their people and even their cabinets. They act more like NATO/US supporters rather than sovereign vassals. Take a look at what is happening in Japan, Germany, Poland, Slovak, Taiwan... the list is long even France.


What are you writing sir?

Japan prime minister was elected,
Taiwan president was elected
Poland too
France president too was elected.
Was it the USA/NATO that elected this leader's

But we can't say that for Russian allies

"They left me because they just couldn’t take a risk on me, because as a woman, I’m supposed to be perfect.
