The Dollar Isn’t Ours Anymore

June 04, 2025

It still has American symbols on it.

It still gets printed in D.C.

It still fuels headlines about the “strongest economy on Earth.”

But the dollar you're using today? It doesn’t really belong to you.

And it hasn’t for a long time.

A Global IOU Masquerading as National Currency

The world treats the dollar like shared infrastructure.

The U.S. prints it. But foreign central banks decide what it’s worth.

  • China and India are bypassing it in energy deals.

  • BRICS nations are building their own settlement systems in gold.

  • The IMF is pushing for Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) to replace it entirely.

Meanwhile, the U.S. government can only keep spending if outsiders keep buying.

You’re told it's a privilege.

But it's a trap.

The Franchise Currency

Think of the dollar like a global franchise.

America owns the logo.

But the operations? The decisions? The pricing power?

That’s been licensed out to the rest of the world.

And like all over-leveraged franchises… the collapse won’t start on the surface.

It starts in the margins—when the brand stops meaning anything.

Watch for these signals in your own life:

  • Prices rise… but your wage doesn’t.

  • Your savings earn less than inflation, even in “safe” accounts.

  • Markets cheer “strong dollar” reports while your budget feels squeezed.

  • Foreign conflicts or foreign banks suddenly hit your retirement fund.

That’s what it looks like when the dollar stops working for you—but still works for them.

What the Smart Money’s Doing Right Now

Insiders aren’t betting on a dollar collapse.

They’re acting like it’s already happened.

  • Central banks are buying gold at the fastest pace in 50 years

  • The BRICS bloc is settling trade without touching a single U.S. dollar

  • The Fed is quietly monetizing new U.S. debt—because no one else wants it

You’re being told to hold dollars.

But they’re preparing to move past them.

Here's what won’t make a headline:

In Q1 alone, the Federal Reserve purchased over 50% of all newly issued U.S. Treasurys.

That’s not normal. That’s emergency-level demand fabrication.

If foreign buyers were still confident, the Fed wouldn’t have to step in.

But they won’t tell you that.

Best,
—Death of the Dollar
