They all want to control the monetary system. They are all being lured into a situation where they will end up opting for the IMF SDR and find themselves right back in the same situation they are in right now.

Proof they are not thinking clearly or perhaps at all. 

 Agreed. High probability they don’t understand money and are blinded by ego. 

 The more they’re focused on imaginary monetary constructs, the more time bitcoin has to fall through the cracks to those that need it. 

 I want another money but still one I can’t print for electioneering 

 Moving away from USD into any other CB currency is simply out of the fire and into the frying pan. May as well stick with USD at that point. 

 Great read! 

 Brics and many others will actually end up  using bitcoin even if they don't say that they are. Point to point , permissionless, relatively frictionless transactions of bitcoin are too enticing to pass up on. $1trillion worth of bitcoin transactions per year already? Someone big is using bitcoin already without shouting about it. Bitcoin is still the surest bet I know of. 

 At the moment they go for gold ...
Maybe we will see a different picture in  ≈2030 https://m.primal.net/IgXK.png  

 Power is the drug of states. Addicts are not known yo make the smartest decisions. All they can think is how to get the next fix. 

 most of the brics countries are hardcore gold bugs , probably the next generation of leaders will be the ones who start getting on a BTC standard. 

 Seems like states are like feminists - claim they want equality but what they really want is control.

Anarchists want equality. Bitcoin is anarchist. Rules without rulers.
