Trump Just BROKE the Petrodollar (Bitcoin Repricing IMMINENT!) | Simply Originals

Did the United States just start a war to save the dollar?

Look, something very strange is happening right now.

The mainstream media wants you completely distracted by explosions in the Middle East,

but if you look under the hood of the global financial system,

you can see that Trump is trying to save the dollar he kind of has to.

And it is spectacularly backfiring because of the chaos in the street of Hormuz,

the Gulf nations aren't just getting nervous.

They are actively threatening to pull their US investments.

And while the Fiat Empire fractures, Bitcoin is quietly becoming the escape hatch for the entire

planet, today we're breaking down the cracking petro dollar,

the four signs of a collapsing Fiat Empire,

and the ultimate geopolitical strategy behind everything happening right now.

Are we watching a masterstroke, a 5D chest, to establish dollar dominance for decades to come?

Or is it just 5D cope?

Strap in and hold on to your b****s.

We got a big one today.

It's just more money that mostly goes straight to military industrial complex.

And then that's the problem that you get into.

You can't, when you put your trips out there, it's hard not to fund them,

but this should have been authorized by Congress to start.

There's reports that the war is costing a billion dollars a day.

It's at least costing a billion dollars a day.

You can count the missiles in the video.

People back home, they're already feeling it in gas prices,

and then they're going to feel it in grocery prices and eventually housing prices and interest rates

as our debt goes up.

We spent $8 trillion in the Middle East already.

This thing could get into a trillion dollars real quick, and that goes straight to our debt.

So it's bad financially, but it's also, I just don't think we have clear policy

after we obliterate the Iranian government and the Iranian military, then what?

What do you do after that?

I don't think we're going to be successful at nation-building.

To understand why the financial world is quietly hyperventilating,

you have to understand the mafia style agreement that has run the globe for decades.

It's simple.

The US provides military muscle, and the Middle East agrees to price all their oil

exclusively in US dollars.

It's the ultimate cheat code for unlimited money printing.

We export our inflation.

They give us oil.

But right now, that cheat code is glitching out.

With the US directly engaging in strikes in Iran,

the Gulf states are looking around and realizing that standing next to

Uncle Sam is getting pretty dangerous.

And we are hearing massive rumblings that they are seriously considering pulling their US investments.

They aren't just annoyed.

They are publicly questioning the entire relationship.

If the straight-of-hormouse gets fully choked out,

and Gulf money dumps US treasuries, what happens to the dollar?

It tanks, and when fiat tanks, where does smart money run?

Exactly.

Hard, sound, money.

The peaceful revolution doesn't need to fire a single shot.

So how is the US government responding to the foundational pillar of the dollar cracking?

By doing what bureaucrats do best, panicking,

and manipulating the numbers.

Historically, there is kind of a four-point checklist for the decline of a fiat empire.

Let's see how we're scoring.

Number one, currency debasement.

Well, check.

Number two, military overextension.

Check.

Number three, domestic crises.

Maybe some border problems.

Check.

Number four, total loss of trust.

Check.

You literally can't make this up.

The system is so incredibly fragile that the treasury is practically trying to short reality.

We got rumors of them manipulating futures just to keep the optics from totally collapsing.

They're treating the global economy like a game of Jenga.

And they've already pulled out the bottom pieces.

And of course, who is out there telling you everything is totally fine?

Jim Kramer.

Look, the laws of physics might change,

but the reverse Kramer indicator remains undefeated.

If Kramer says the fiat system is fine and this won't spiral out of control,

you better be stuck and sats like your life depends on it.

Which brings us to the big one.

Are we looking at a masterful game of 5D chess by the administration?

Or purely regarded behavior?

Well, hear me out.

Let's map out the grand strategy.

Because if, and this is a big if,

there actually is some grand strategy behind all this chaos.

Some plan to lock in dollar dominance for another generation

than the moves we're watching might start to make a little more sense.

I'm not saying this is definitely what's happening,

but the theory goes something like this.

Step one, Venezuela.

China has relied on Venezuelan oil for years to dodge sanctions.

So Washington starts squeezing Venezuela's resources.

Oil, lithium, gold, rare earths.

Not just for regime change, but for resource control.

Cut that supply line and China suddenly has an energy problem.

Step two.

Oh, Canada.

Lestramatic.

But arguably more important.

Canada moves closer to Washington.

Deeper intelligence cooperation.

Strategic basing, tighter economic alignment.

North America starts acting more like a single economic

and security block.

Something we really haven't seen since World War II.

And that sends a message to the rest of the world.

Step three, Iran.

Once Venezuela gets squeezed, China pivots to Iran for oil.

Predictable.

That's when tensions explode.

Strikes on nuclear sites, oil, infrastructure,

getting hit, command centers, targeted.

And suddenly, China's backup energy supplier is under threat.

Step four.

Russia.

And this is where the theory gets spicy.

Some analysts believe a quiet back channel deal

could emerge where Russia redirects more energy

exports towards Western markets.

Not out of friendship, but self-interest.

And return, they get revenue stability

in a path back into parts of the global financial system.

If that happens, you suddenly get something.

Nobody expected a loose North American Russian energy

alignment, which removes China's last major leverage point.

Now, if that sequence actually plays out,

the endgame becomes clear.

Brexit loses its energy backbone, China gets squeezed.

And Beijing is forced back to the negotiating table,

potentially even buying US debt again.

That would allow Washington to reset the system

and re-center global finance around the dollar.

But here's the twist.

Nobody in Washington can control even if that plan works.

It's still bullish for Bitcoin because war spending

explodes.

Energy prices spike.

Money printing ramps up.

And capital starts searching for something outside the system.

Enter Bitcoin.

Some projections already have Bitcoin

ripping past 200K in the next liquidity wave.

Then you start hearing whispers about things

like a strategic US Bitcoin reserve.

And what some people consider a sleeper

in all of this, stablecoins, which are backdoor CBDCs.

But every dollar stablecoin moving across borders

expands US financial infrastructure.

Without building a single bank, the rails are already there.

So whether you buy this theory or not, the pieces are moving.

Now the real question.

Is Trump turning into George W. Bush 2.0 right before our eyes?

Or is he playing geopolitical chess?

Let us know what you think down below.

But one thing we do know, this war is already projected

to cost over 184 billion by September.

And historically, when governments start

lighting hundreds of billions of dollars on fire,

Bitcoin tends to do very well.

And just to clarify, stablecoins are yield curve control.

And the treasuries moves to short reality

in the oil futures market are cost controls.

I don't smell dollar dominance.

I smell Weimar.

So yeah, even more bullish.

Is this a verified plan?

No, but it might be what the market is quietly whispering about

while they watch the Middle East burn.

The Fiat system is backed by aircraft carriers,

threats, and endless money printing.

But Bitcoin, Bitcoin is backed by math, energy,

and a globally distributed consensus

that cannot be bullied, sanctioned, or bombed.

Bitcoin is the escape hatch for the entire planet.

Don't get distracted by the geopolitical noise.

Keep your eyes on the signal.

What the fuck, man?

Enough with the war.

It doesn't matter who we vote in,

what they believe in, what the policy is,

what the stock market's at, none of this shit matters.

I mean, how many politicians my whole life

have campaigned, no more war, no more spending,

no more debt?

They're all full of shit.

So I'm convinced it's not the people, it's the system.

The government's gone too big.

The money is too corrupt.

I'm out.

Historically, we have two ways to express ourselves.

One is through our voice.

I have a dream.

But when your voice is no longer sufficient,

which it is not any longer,

I don't believe that there's a protest we need to host,

or a podcast we need to record,

or a tweet we need to write.

Our voice doesn't work anymore.

They're going to print money.

They're going to spend and exceed their means.

They're going to bomb people.

People are going to die.

I refuse to support this system.

Fuck that.

They will not get my time and energy.

I'm out.

I'm going to build strike.

I'm going to fund open source development.

That's how we change.

That's how we revolutionize.

Now, you're going to change the world

through open source software,

through engineering,

through distributed systems,

through hard money,

through health, through truth.

These guys,

I mean, it doesn't matter who you put in office.

What are they talking about?

So if someone hurt Iran,

Iran would hurt us.

So the fact that someone was going to hurt Iran

by proxy men,

Iran was going to attack us.

So instead of them attacking us,

we just fucked them.

What the...

We're getting married.

We're having kids.

We're stacking sats.

We're building software.

Oh, and just in,

we got a bullish announcement

from the Bitcoin Senator.

We're about to bring it home.

But before we do,

look at our likes.

Three or four times, man.

I have pumped those numbers out.

Those are rookie numbers in the dragon.

It's called the Diminimus Exemption

and the number that is being looked at

by Houseways and Means and Senate finances

right around $300 as a Diminimus Exemption.

But the challenge is trying to figure out

how you can use Bitcoin as a means of exchange

without paying a capital gains tax on it.

So we're trying to figure out how to weigh the appropriate way

to decide when a sale of, for example, a Bitcoin

should be subject to capital gains.

And when it should be allowed to be used

as a simple means of exchange,

the same way we use the US dollar.

Zero capital gains on Bitcoin transactions.

Well, that accelerates hyper Bitcoinization

in a dramatic way.

Damn straight and war accelerates movements in motion.

It accelerates change and maybe Trump

is playing 5D chess.

Maybe he's not.

Maybe this entire system is just

collapsing under its own weight.

But one thing is cert,

empires run on debt.

Bitcoin runs on math and when the dust settles,

there will only be one monetary system on earth

that no government can print to talk next block.

And the possibility of World War 3 is higher than ever,

which is probably a good time to visit our new sponsor.
