🛢Do you know why Saudi crude oil exports to the US fell to zero for the first time since 1985? Because someone else is paying more to Saudi to buy that crude oil - This is how the real world takes over fake paper futures market prices ! :Explosion:
Derivative trading / ticker / charts are all fake just like casino - house controls it
real physical demand /delivery is totally different world. gold oil copper sulfur helium ... long list

It seems that many people on Nostr just want to pretend to be devs just for grant money and nothing else.
REAL reason Israel has NOT joined in on the attacks on Iran with the U.S.

I could run one, yeah. More than one would be a bad idea, as it would recentralize the shards.

@npub1al9…uds8 Ruto converted USD loan to CNY really WTF
Kenya converted part of its $3.5 billion Chinese railway loan from US dollars to Chinese yuan, saving about $215 million annually in debt servicing costs. The conversion shifts the loans to lower yuan-based interest rates and extends repayment terms.

SOVEREIGN DEBT NOT SAME PERSONAL DEBT
EVEN IF DOLLAR DEBASED - BANKS ALWAYS MAKE SURE U PAY UR DEBT BACK "NOT IN DEBASED" DOLLAR - remember it.
PARTLY can work for sometime - MSTR used borrowed DOLLAR betting on faster rise of BTC and now selling back to cover for margin calls

African challenge of US dollar’s dominance bears first fruits
African nations are incrementally abandoning the greenback for the yuan and local currencies, the Economist reports.
🟠 Zambia now accepts mining royalties in yuan and has mandated local currency for domestic transactions (offenders face fines or prison)
🟠 Egypt, Nigeria & South Africa signed new yuan swaps; Kenya converted dollar loans to yuan, saving ~$215M annually in interest
🟠 Standard Bank — Africa’s largest lender by assets — cleared first transactions via China’s Cross-Border Interbank Payment System; yuan cross-border transactions in Africa rose 4x from 2020–2024
🟠 The Pan-African Payment System (PAPSS) now connects 160+ banks to settle intra-African trade in local currencies, potentially saving $5B/year.
The transition is not painless: companies must rewrite dollar contracts, exporters face conversion fees, and some industries lack the dollars needed for imports.
Despite that and the fact the dollar still rules 70% of external debt, with the Zambian kwacha up 15% this year, Africa is betting on a multipolar currency future.

FACT n STATEMENT - NOT an OPINION
No engineering even needed 🫠
US is not only major economy in world as it was in 1950s or 1970s anymore
so this relation is not an exact fit but will say this still say
gold topped $800 in 1980 so x 40X = $32000 if were in line with us debt.
PERFECT CHART THAT WILL NEVER HAVE OR HAD ANY DIPS
SUDDENLY MUSIC WILL STOP
🇺🇸 took 200 years to accumulate debt about $1Trillion (1776-1976) and then just 50 years to reach $40 Trillion (1976 to 2026) - slowly then suddenly... best example

THIS "IS" HUGE far away from normalcy before 28FEB2026 War
(nobody barely in any media will tell u much due to media blackouts)
The UAE's gold refining operations have been significantly impacted by the ongoing Iran war, with disruptions causing delays and logistical challenges in the gold market. Some refiners are struggling to source doré, leading to potential shortages and price volatility in the market.
Also RAW Supply from Africa so called "blood gold" near ZERO now
As Africa nations 1. opens local refinery and 2. slowly getting upper hand over terrorist insurgency sponsored by western powers.

On todays list:
* figure out why the fuck chromium based browsers on Android don't include URLs for highlighted text all the time. gotta find a way around this
* NIP-29 support in edufeed
should be enough for a Friday
similarities are astounding expect US DEBT $1T < and now $40T
if Kevin Warsh even remotely try to become Paul Volcker that will do REGIME in WASHINGTON not what CIA wants for now.
at 5% interest payment >$1T
REPAYING INTEREST (DOLLAR KILLER) > HIGHER MILITARY WARFARE FORCE BUDGET (DOLLAR GUARDIAN)
If you want to play both chains, you’ll need to use a UTXO that is an descendant of a new block’s coinbase
typo - g7 bonds "NOT acting" as safe heaven
Arabs had maybe finally realizing that rotating oil profits into dollar for protection from 🇺🇸mafia was NOT so great idea to keep continue.
even if no formal declaration is made publicly about end of petrodollar this month
And what then? They replayed your TXs on BIP110, congrats, nothing changes on the main chain for you
GOLD at $4300/oz again (ath was 5600 in Fed before war)
1975s is back 2025s again? High Interest , Arab oil Crisis, Iran Revolution
👉 Rate hikes are no longer bad for gold. BOJ FED keep trying again again.
In the later half of the 1970’s bull market both gold and interest rates went up.
The gold to US10Y spread broke out of a descending wedge recently = gold outperforming interest rates.

This is huge since G7 bonds are acting safe heaven for sovereigns / institutions
(nothing to do with retail physical gold market - it not drive price
~30% of physical gold market getting relocated slowly as Dubai hub is still offline unless us troops withdraw fully africa processing gold locally coming acting small relief)
