#3 the UN should print their own money. We'll withdraw our contributions and they can see just how accepted as currency their pieces of paper are

#7 Only competing currencies will bring financial stability to the world economy.

The current system is a cartel run for the benefit of rent-seekers.

#8 If implemented this will cause the most damage to the economy you can possibly imagine.

#9 Currencies are all about trust. It used to be trust that they would be converted to gold on request. These days its trust that they won't be debased.

The US admisnistration is debasing the USD by running unsustainable deficits.

The Euro is to a degree a replacement. People trust the Germans, but the Italians, Greeks, Spanish would happily debase the currency.

And good luck to anyone who trusts Russia, China and the UN.

BTW, the world doesn't need a reserve currency. but without one international trade will be reduced. And some people would see less international trade = more self-sufficient national economies as a good thing.
