A common currency was never the plan, they all know very well how that wrecked Europe!

I spent weeks studying everything around BRICS around the Khazan meeting, and that comes on top of years of following developments in general, even the Davos demons since ~2007/8...

The main takeaway is that the West has huuuuge, multiple blind spots, most of which are about decentralization and a multipolar world. Others are around the insane concept of GDP, which in the BRICS camp is now being replaced with PPP, Purchasing Power Parity.

Adding Bitcoin to that mix we get a really interesting, complex play, where not being on top of events will wipe out many!
