The money supply issues, coupled with financial system competition from BRIC, will lead to a worse future than the present.

The western world is never going back to the post-USSR high it was enjoying. Ever. The competitors have awakened and are making their moves globally. Most westerners are asleep.

BRIC is an out of date meme from the 2000s that isn't used anymore by any serious economists. B and R were dominant off of the commodity boom and have receded substantially, I has potential but is held back by poor governance, and C is legitimately an economic power (although too unstable politically to hold financial control) but is causing pretty much all the supply chain issues with their stubborn zero-covid strategy and is sabotaging their own economy. Geopolitically, you're right, but economically, there's more threat from crypto than BRICs to the current order

>economically, there's more threat from crypto than BRICs to the current order

I am blown away by this belief of yours. Crypto is basically a scam.
