BRICS (China) are introducing a gold backed trade payments alternative to SWIFT in April.
The end of the petrodollar has already begun.

Central bank purchases of gold denominated in USD are unprecedented.
Only reason tonnes purchased last year decreased was price increase.
The ratio of gold / fiat held by central banks is still increasing.

The FT is sponsored by fiat financial system derivatives brokers . . . they are paid to shit on gold...and Bitcoin.
