BRICS Currency Announced! Is it Gold Backed?

Bideoa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0JVAxrlA1A

In this week’s video, we look at Russia’s announcement of an official BRICS currency. There has been speculation and rumors of this currency for some time, and one major theory is that it would be backed by a basket of commodities including gold. However, the Kremlin recently announced they have almost completed a digital currency based on blockchain technology. Backed by gold or not, if a new BRICS currency becomes internationally adopted for trade, the U.S. Dollar will lose value. If U.S. Dollar’s value decreases, we expect the price of gold to increase. While there is no official launch date yet, dismantling the dollar will take time and we don’t expect it to go down without a fight. In the meantime, we will keep an eye out for any official launch date and stay ready to keep viewers informed.

BRICS Citizenship: Ultimate Plan B?

Bideoa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No3vw4dgY3o

? Overview of BRICS Block – BRICS Block comprises Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and a few more countries. – Focuses on economic cooperation rather than military or visa-free alliances. – Aims to create alternative financial systems to bypass Western sanctions.

? Importance of BRICS Block – BRICS countries collectively have a significant GDP, oil production, wheat production, and population. – Aims to provide a counterbalance to Western dominance in global finance. – Offers opportunities for residency and citizenship as a means of exposure to the block’s economic initiatives.

? Options for Residency and Citizenship – UAE offers straightforward residency through business setup or property investment. – Brazil provides citizenship by birth and residency by investment, but political direction is concerning. – Russia offers citizenship through property investment or having a child with a Russian citizen, but faces sanctions and military service requirements. – Other options like Egypt and South Africa have citizenship by investment programs with varying degrees of feasibility and desirability.

– The BRICS bloc.

0:01

Is this the ultimate plan B?

0:04

Should you get residency,

0:05

whether temporary or permanent, in BRICS?

0:08

Should you get citizenship in any of the BRICS countries

0:11

to protect against the fall of the US dollar,

0:14

the fall of NATO, the fall of the EU?

0:17

Is this the ultimate plan B?

0:20

We have Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa,

0:24

Ethiopia, Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabia,

0:28

and the United Arab Emirates,

0:30

as well as future members

0:31

like Nigeria, Bangladesh, and many more.

0:34

Argentina recently pulled out of the BRICS bloc

0:37

because they don’t wanna be associated

0:39

with Russia, with China.

0:40

They more want to be associated with the West,

0:42

with the United States and with the EU.

0:45

Now, the BRICS bloc, it’s very important to note

0:48

that this is not a military alliance, like NATO.

0:50

It is not a visa-free alliance, like the EU.

0:53

This is strictly to improve the economy.

0:56

They want to create a blockchain currency

0:58

that can be used internationally

1:00

and they want to create an alternative

1:02

to the current SWIFT system,

1:04

making Western sanctions essentially useless.

1:07

A third of the world’s population

1:09

is sanctioned by the United States,

1:11

and when you think about that,

1:11

a third of the world’s population

1:13

is sanctioned by the United States, quite stupid.

1:15

And more and more sanctions keep being added

1:18

for stupid reasons and for conflicts

1:20

that the West shouldn’t be even involved in.

1:22

But they keep sanctioning more people

1:24

and more and more citizens around the world keep suffering.

1:26

That’s why BRICS wants to create alternatives.

1:29

I don’t see this as being a visa-free bloc.

1:31

Russia, China, the UAE are not gonna start opening the door

1:35

for people from India, from Nigeria, from Bangladesh

1:38

to enter visa-free, this is never going to happen,

1:40

but you can at least have some exposure to BRICS

1:44

by having bank accounts in the BRICS countries,

1:46

by having residency, potentially citizenship,

1:49

in the BRICS countries.

1:50

The BRICS bloc is more important

1:52

than a lot of people think about

1:53

because they have a larger GDP than the G7 countries.

1:57

They produce 45% of the world’s oil,

2:00

more than 40% of the world’s wheat,

2:03

and they hold 45% of the world’s population,

2:05

so we’re talking about half of the world

2:08

is in the BRICS bloc.

2:09

Now, the options that you have

2:10

to get residency, citizenship in BRICS,

2:12

the first one being the UAE.

2:14

This is the most straightforward one.

2:16

This is the simplest one.

2:17

You start a company, you buy real estate in the UAE,

2:20

you get residency.

2:21

Now you have some exposure.

2:22

If they launch their blockchain currency,

2:25

if they launch their new payment system,

2:27

you bet the UAE is going to have a way

2:29

for you to get access to that,

2:30

even if you’re not a citizen of the UAE.

2:32

If you are in Dubai, in the UAE,

2:34

or if you’re a resident of the UAE,

2:36

you’re going to get access to that system.

2:37

You’re going to get some exposure

2:39

to protect against the of traditional currencies

2:41

like the USD, like the Euro.

2:44

Another very popular one,

2:45

because they don’t extradite their citizens, is Brazil.

2:48

You can get citizenship by birth in Brazil.

2:50

You can give birth,

2:51

or your girlfriend, wife can give birth in Brazil,

2:54

and the child would be a Brazilian citizen,

2:56

as well as the parents.

2:58

They can get even instant citizenship,

3:00

as well as permanent residency by investment,

3:03

you can get in Brazil.

3:04

You can get temporary residency very easily.

3:06

But the direction that Brazil is going,

3:09

I have to say that it’s not a good one.

3:10

They’re heading down communism.

3:12

They’re restricting payments.

3:13

They’re adding more taxes.

3:15

They’re restricting citizens all over the world

3:17

and we have many Brazilians who are leaving Brazil

3:19

and going to other countries for more freedom,

3:22

and they’re going to other countries like the UAE.

3:24

So if you want a second citizenship

3:26

that you can get relatively fast

3:27

and you’re fine with the bad direction

3:29

that the country is going in,

3:30

then Brazil could be an option.

3:32

The one that I would highly recommend is the UAE,

3:35

just because you’re not getting citizenship in the UAE

3:37

unless you invest millions of dollars,

3:39

you donate millions of dollars to the government,

3:41

you can get that citizenship,

3:42

but if you’re not ready to invest millions of dollars,

3:44

or at least donate millions of dollars to the UAE,

3:47

then Brazil could be an option

3:48

or just getting that residency in the UAE

3:50

or a golden visa for 10 years

3:52

by investing 2 million dirham,

3:54

$550,000 into property in the UAE,

3:56

we have many clients that have done this,

3:58

and you get that 10-year visa

3:59

that could later be turned into permanent residency.

4:02

This is just my prediction.

4:03

I see the UAE adding more and more policies

4:05

that will help people see the country as their home.

4:08

Because now a lot of people see it as a transient country,

4:10

where “I go for a couple days,

4:11

I pay a little tax, and then I leave.”

4:13

They want people to stick to the country

4:15

and become permanent residents and citizens later on.

4:18

Now, Russia is another BRICS member,

4:20

which is the chair of the BRICS bloc for 2024.

4:24

If you want to get Russian citizenship,

4:25

obviously that comes with a lot of sanctions,

4:27

with a lot of problems, with military service for men.

4:30

It’s definitely possible.

4:32

If you can get around the military service,

4:34

all you have to do is buy a property in Russia,

4:36

get permanent residency, and then citizenship,

4:38

or have a child with a Russian citizen

4:39

and you would also become a Russian citizen,

4:42

although I definitely don’t recommend that.

4:43

And obviously, the other countries that we have available.

4:45

Like Egypt, they have a citizenship-by-investment program.

4:48

And if for any reason you’re interested in that region

4:51

or you have a specific reason

4:53

why you want to get Egyptian citizenship, then do it.

4:56

I don’t see it being worth it.

4:58

I’d much rather take a Turkish citizenship

5:00

for $400,000 into real estate

5:02

than an Egyptian citizenship for $300,000 in real estate.

5:05

Egypt is the only citizenship-by-investment country

5:08

that has visa-free access to Nigeria,

5:10

so if you have any interest in Africa

5:11

or in that particular region, you could go for that.

5:13

But I’ve worked with a lot of Egyptians

5:15

and their government is pretty much horrible,

5:17

and I don’t recommend it to 99.9% of people.

5:20

Ethiopia, Iran, and South Africa

5:22

are obviously extremely hard to become a citizen

5:24

and I wouldn’t recommend them for many reasons.

5:26

In the case of Iran, it’s a very heavily-sanctioned country.

5:29

You don’t have access to pretty much anything.

5:30

And although a South African passport

5:32

is not as bad as people say,

5:33

South Africa is definitely heading in the wrong direction.

5:36

There’s a ton of crime

5:37

and there’s also a Kill the White movement

5:39

that I’m very, very uncomfortable with.

5:41

A lot of people make fun of the BRICS nations,

5:43

specifically Western governments and Western countries.

5:46

They say, “oh, you little sanctioned countries.

5:48

Oh, you little China, you little Russia,

5:50

trying to create your own payment system!”

5:52

But in the next 10 to 20 years,

5:54

I see this as being the true alternative to the USD.

5:57

Obviously, we have Bitcoin, we have Ethereum,

5:59

we have a bunch of cryptocurrencies that we can use

6:01

to bypass the US dollar,

6:03

but when it comes to world economics, trade,

6:06

different products that cannot be settled in cryptocurrency,

6:09

that’s where the BRICS currency

6:11

and the BRICS blockchain will play a large role.

6:14

More and more countries

6:15

and more and more percentages of the world’s population

6:18

are going to continue to join BRICS,

6:20

so get some exposure, get or lease a residency permit,

6:22

get or lease a bank account in any of the BRICS nations

6:25

so you have that potential later on.

6:27

If you’re interested

6:28

in getting a second residency, second citizenship,

6:31

specifically in countries that are open to investment,

6:34

where you can invest or donate into a country

6:36

and get citizenship in as little as three months,

6:39

check out the video right here

6:40

on the 12 fastest countries around the world

6:42

where you can donate or invest

6:45

to get citizenship, a second passport,

6:47

in as little as a couple of months.

As of February 1, 2024, significant developments have occurred within the BRICS bloc. Saudi Arabia, along with four other countries – Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates – have confirmed their joining of BRICS. This expansion follows an invitation extended to these nations during a summit held in Johannesburg in August of the previous year.

Saudi Arabia’s addition, in particular, is noteworthy given its significant economic strength, primarily driven by its oil production. In 2022, Saudi Arabia was the world’s second-largest oil producer, underscoring the economic and strategic significance of its BRICS membership. This expansion of BRICS, now often referred to as BRICS+, represents a considerable shift in global economic dynamics.

The BRICS plus countries collectively now account for 45% of the world’s population, about 3.5 billion¹ people, and almost one-third of the global GDP, estimated at approximately 29 trillion² dollars. This expansion also reflects a growing trend towards de-dollarization in international trade among these nations, with moves towards using local currencies and developing alternatives to the SWIFT system for international transactions.
