 i dont think that is the goal. i think bypassing swift, and G7 controlled payment rails is. While we were election focused, BRICS was meeting to welcome 6 new member states. 3 of which, including Argentina and Ethiopia, are running State controlled bitcoin mining centers. 
 interesting 
 thought about this overnight

i feel like intra BRICS settling + mining is huge, and imminent after what you said 

imagine now if there's distrust between brics and the G7, they would need something neutral for settling there  
 If Alexander Dugin has his way, the US will be excluded from BRICS. 
But i doubt that will happen. $ is $. 
Will be interesting to see how it plays out. 
 I'm not as on top of it as you are so I'll be watching here, keep noting 
 I dont feel like im on top. i feel like im watching from the vacant lot next door. 😆
