Ibime: What year was the first Anglo Spanish war fought?
You are just arguing for argument sake and deviating off topic
Spain was the foremost economic power of the time and the British used their currency for International trade even while warring with them. End of story. You're just wasting my time. |

Ibime: Nobody mentioned paper. Coins is currency too. The British were using Spanish coins for trade even while warring with them What exactly are you saying? Coins made from what? And why was the world power using a currency not from them? Aren't you contradicting yourself? It's like saying the US as the (dying) world power is using Russian currency for trading. |

Ibime: In this world there has always been a dominant currency from Roman auras to Spanish peseta to British pound to dollar, depending on who rules the sea. Even when Britain fought Spain, they still used the peseta. When America fought Britain, they still used the British pound.
China currency is inconvertible and is the only superpower available that can command settlement or reserve status, but China does not redeem it's Yuan from you, nor does it let it's currency float. Do you think anyone receiving Argentinian peso, Kenyan shilling or Russian ruble will keep such schizophrenic currency in their reserves when they can't predict its value by next year? They will immediately convert it to something stable. Dey play.
China has been struggling to maintain dollar peg and been having capital flight. This is just a means to make their dollar peg less expensive. They even reduced their rules on bank reserves and other measures. China for the first time in a while found themselves having to boost Yuan up to dollar rather than keep it down as they have been doing for the last two decades. Dollar went on a beast run last year after the stock market sold into dollar. Bear in mind the US stock market was worth over $40trln so even a 10% flight to dollar is $4trln flowing into dollar. Yuan couldn't keep pace with that so they use other mumu for the job. China is only interested in pegging to USA. If Yuan becomes too strong, they lose their selling point. You lied. Apart from the British empire, the rest never used any dominant paper money. The rest used precious stones like gold etc and these stones weren't exclusive to the great powers of then. Discuss intelligently sir. |

Ibime: It's not about strength but price stability.
Brics is not going to achieve anything. The reason they are using Yuan and not ruble is because Yuan keeps its price stable, directly pegged to the dollar. So in essence, they are simply referencing the dollar. They can't use ruble, rupee, real or rand which gyrate like backup dancers.
To be the dominant currency, you must have depth and volume, be able to lubricate trillions in settlements daily, and your currency must be free floating and not manipulated and you must not care or intervene in its price. It also helps to have the most naval reach on the seas
China does not meet any of these conditions. China has even refused to take back the Yuan that Russia was holding
China is suffering it's most intense capital flight and simply needs more demand for Yuan to make pegging against the dollar less expensive. More countries hold Australian dollar as reserve than Yuan as we speak.
Euro was meant to dethrone dollar and it took some market share but here we are over two decades later You an unknown entity can't know more than 6 countries + 23 more waiting to join BRICS. I still do not know what you gain from dollar monopoly to be this confident that alternatives won't surface. In the next 5 to 10 years if you're alive, you're going to see multiple international financial settlement options side by side with the dollar and the world won't end. China is not looking at replacing the USD with Yuan, they are too smart for that, its the monopoly of the international financial space they're are fighting against. No international currency must be allowed to be used to fight "foes". |

Hotice085: .
Till the end of the world yaun will always be tagging along the Dollar.... Chinese government that are ever deliberately devaluing the yaun against the dollar, yet some POOtin asslickers are daydreaming Ibime: Yuan is not interested in decoupling from the dollar. China just sells Yuan into dollar when Yuan is going too high vs Dollar, in order to keep their exports competitive. A strong Yuan is not in China's interest. You buy Yuan, you are buying dollar, that's why despite all your dedollarisation talk, Yuan is not outstripping the dollar.
I don't expect Putards to understand this, but I will keep educating Do you guys really understand what BRICS is trying to achieve? BTW, there are more than 10 currencies that are stronger than the USD but aren't anywhere near what we call international currency of settlement. So it's not about which one is stronger, its about having alternative to the current financial settlement method. International financial monopoly is what's about to be broken |

sonature1: There's a systemic ploy by devilish Nigerians to keep Nigeria grounded in our lifetime. Those who wish to flee can while the rest who don't have a problem with the contraption can stay back and enjoy it. So how do you keep Nigeria from being grounded if everyone with abilities relocate? If you truly wish Nigeria well, you would not have posed the above. |

MrBrownJay1: nah they are just using him too much, while we all know he cant perform at his best for 90mins (at his age). they should only use him at best 45mins...but sadly, with the money they spent on him, they will use him tire till he cant run no more. Using him too much for such an amount he was bought? I still haven't seen the impact of spending much on him though. The hype they wanted for their club The hype they have gotten Unfortunately, their performance is getting bad each day |
