The sparrows have long been chirping from the rooftops that the Chinese central bank must react and devalue the national currency, the yuan. The pressure has recently been too great, and we are now seeing sudden devaluation spurts. In the short term, this monetary policy will push forward the country's exports, which are already exporting deflation in many sectors due to its democratic collapse and poorly performing economy, thus putting other fiat economies under pressure.

Wont this ruin their brics deal?
They need to have a certain amount of currency in reserve, but if it is worthless, how will they be able to make the borrowing work?
Seems like brics will be falling next.

I never understood how they could trust each other.
They all want to stab each other in the back if there is a profit in it for themselves.

Everyone involved in brics is crooked.
So how would they keep a stable currency?
Even during the first meeting they didnt want to make a combined currency, which I thought was funny.
Wasnt that the whole point of brics?

At least with bitcoin, you know the other guy wont stab you in the back.
They need to figure out something similar, or just use bitcoin.
Would bitcoin become stronger because of their involvement, or would people pull out?

Yes, but they cant control it.
They cant inflate it to zero, which is everything to them.
