BANK STORY: 🏦💣 “Bank Insider Leak: New System & Currency Coming Soon?! 💵”

 

An upcoming meeting between Erbil and Baghdad to discuss the mechanism for implementing the salary agreement is scheduled for tomorrow

 An upcoming meeting between Erbil and Baghdad to discuss the mechanism for implementing the salary agreement is scheduled for tomorrow.

Technical delegations representing the Kurdistan Regional Government and the federal government are scheduled to hold their first meeting in Baghdad tomorrow, Tuesday, to agree on a mechanism for implementing the agreement signed between them regarding oil exports, salaries, and local revenues. The aim is to reach an understanding and disburse salaries and financial dues to the region.

On Monday, Al-Jabal platform learned from a government source details of a report prepared by the joint committee between the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and the State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO), which will be submitted to the Ministry of Oil and Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani. The report stated that "the Kurdistan Region currently has an estimated production capacity of less than 81,000 barrels of oil per day."

Last Thursday, a joint technical committee from the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and the State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO) visited Erbil for four days, visiting the fields that were attacked by drones. The committee also prepared its own report on procedures for resuming oil exports.

The committee stated in its report: "Since the 16th of this month, oil production capacity in the Kurdistan Region has decreased to 81,000 barrels per day due to drone attacks."

One of the points of agreement between Erbil and Baghdad was the allocation of 50,000 barrels of oil per day to meet the region's domestic needs. The Kurdistan Region's production capacity was 280,000 barrels per day before the drone attacks.

Operations at five oil fields have now been halted following drone attacks targeting Kurdistan's energy infrastructure in recent weeks, while operations at other fields have been restricted for security reasons.  link

MNT GOAT: 🚨 “One Rate. One Dinar. The CBI’s Big Move Is Closer Than You Think!” 💥

 Mnt Goat  

There will NEVER...EVER be two different IQD rates...To conduct the Project to Delete the Zeros the CBI will make a very significant rate change close to a dollar either way.

 Then later when the dinar does reinstate whatever rate that is on the global currency exchanges will apply both inside and outside Iraq.

...As investors in the dinar, we have to fully understand here what is going on and stop wishing on a rainbow for the RV...it is coming and sooner than you think, I assure you! ...

When the time is ready for the reinstatement it will kick off with the Project to Delete the Zeros, then monitor for inflation and then if all goes well they will move to reinstate the dinar back to FOREX...

MNT GOAT: 💥 “Why the Dinar Could Become One of the Most Wanted Currencies in the Market!” 💰🔥

 

Trump & Crypto: Will Bitcoin's Success Translate to the Iraqi Dinar?

 Trump's Policies and Cryptocurrency: Will Bitcoin's Success Translate to the Iraqi Dinar?

The relationship between political leadership and financial markets has rarely been as pronounced as it is today with cryptocurrency. Since Donald Trump's return to the presidency in January 2025, Bitcoin has experienced remarkable gains, prompting investors to wonder whether this success might extend to other alternative investments like the Iraqi Dinar, where some people expect a significant dinar revaluation. However, the fundamental differences between these assets reveal why Bitcoin's trajectory under Trump's administration is unlikely to be replicated by the Iraqi Dinar.

Bitcoin's Meteoric Rise Under Trump's Pro-Crypto Policies

Bitcoin has demonstrated extraordinary performance since Trump's re-election, with the cryptocurrency surging approximately 60% since November 2024 and reaching heights of $111,000. This dramatic increase can be attributed to several specific policy initiatives and strategic decisions by the Trump administration.

The foundation of Bitcoin's success lies in Trump's complete reversal from his previous skeptical stance toward cryptocurrency. During his campaign, Trump promised to make America "the crypto capital of the planet," and his administration has delivered on this promise through concrete legislative and regulatory actions. In March 2025, Trump signed an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, signaling the federal government's commitment to cryptocurrency adoption.

The administration's approach has been systematically supportive of the cryptocurrency industry. Congress recently passed the first major crypto legislation in U.S. history, providing regulatory clarity that has been long sought by the industry. This regulatory framework has reduced uncertainty and encouraged institutional investment, contributing to Bitcoin's price appreciation.

Trump's appointees reflect this pro-crypto stance, with one in five top administration picks holding cryptocurrency assets, some worth millions of dollars. This alignment between policy and personal investment demonstrates the administration's genuine commitment to cryptocurrency adoption rather than mere political rhetoric.

The Iraqi Dinar: A Fundamentally Different Asset

The Iraqi Dinar operates in an entirely different economic and political ecosystem from Bitcoin. While Bitcoin is a decentralized digital asset that responds to global market forces and regulatory changes, the Iraqi Dinar is a sovereign currency tied to Iraq's economic fundamentals and monetary policy decisions.

Current exchange rate data shows the Iraqi Dinar trading at approximately 1,310 dinars per U.S. dollar as of July 2025, representing minimal fluctuation over the past year. The International Monetary Fund projects an average exchange rate of 1,300 dinars per dollar for both 2025 and 2026, indicating expectations of stability rather than dramatic appreciation.

The Central Bank of Iraq has successfully transitioned to a new trade finance system managed by commercial banks, which has contributed to exchange rate stability. However, this stability is precisely what differentiates the Dinar from Bitcoin-the Iraqi currency is managed to maintain purchasing power rather than to serve as a speculative investment vehicle.

Why Trump's Crypto Policies Won't Impact the Dinar

Several fundamental factors explain why Trump's cryptocurrency-friendly policies cannot replicate Bitcoin's success with the Iraqi Dinar:

• Regulatory Jurisdiction: Trump's policies directly impact assets under U.S. regulatory authority. Bitcoin, as a global digital asset traded on U.S. exchanges and held by U.S. institutions, falls within this sphere of influence. The Iraqi Dinar, however, is governed by Iraq's Central Bank and monetary policy, which operates independently of U.S. cryptocurrency regulations.
• Asset Classification: Bitcoin is treated as a digital commodity and investment vehicle, making it responsive to regulatory changes that affect investor sentiment and institutional adoption. The Iraqi Dinar functions as a national currency with exchange rates determined by economic fundamentals such as oil revenues, trade balances, and monetary policy decisions.
• Market Dynamics: Bitcoin's price appreciation stems from increased institutional adoption, regulatory clarity, and speculative investment driven by Trump's supportive policies. The Iraqi Dinar's value is tied to Iraq's economic performance, oil exports, and regional stability-factors largely unrelated to U.S. cryptocurrency policy.
• Investment Infrastructure: The cryptocurrency ecosystem has developed sophisticated trading platforms, custody solutions, and financial products that respond rapidly to policy changes. The Iraqi Dinar lacks this infrastructure for speculative investment, with most transactions occurring through traditional foreign exchange channels focused on trade and remittances rather than investment.

Economic Realities and Market Projections

Financial forecasts for the Iraqi Dinar suggest continued stability rather than dramatic appreciation. Market projections indicate potential slight depreciation, with the exchange rate possibly reaching around 1,318 IQD per USD by the end of 2025. These projections reflect expectations of gradual economic adjustments rather than the explosive growth seen in Bitcoin.

Iraq's economy remains heavily dependent on oil revenues, which are calculated based on the exchange rate of 1,300 dinars to one dollar in the federal budget. This dependency on commodity prices and the government's fiscal management creates a fundamentally different value proposition from Bitcoin's technology-driven and adoption-based appreciation.

The Broader Investment Landscape

The contrast between Bitcoin and the Iraqi Dinar illustrates a broader principle about how different asset classes respond to political and regulatory changes. Bitcoin's success under Trump's administration demonstrates the power of regulatory clarity and institutional support for emerging asset classes. The cryptocurrency's decentralized nature and global trading infrastructure make it particularly responsive to positive policy developments.

Traditional currencies, even those from developing economies, operate within established monetary systems designed for stability rather than speculation. The Iraqi Dinar's role as a medium of exchange and store of value for Iraq's economy necessitates careful management to prevent the volatility that investors seek in alternative assets.

Conclusion

While Trump's pro-cryptocurrency policies have created a favorable environment for Bitcoin's remarkable performance, these same policies cannot produce similar results for the Iraqi Dinar. The fundamental differences between a decentralized digital asset and a sovereign currency mean that each responds to entirely different sets of economic and political factors.

Bitcoin's success under Trump's administration reflects the power of regulatory support and institutional adoption in driving speculative asset prices. The Iraqi Dinar's stability reflects the careful monetary management required to maintain a functioning national currency. Investors considering whether Trump's policies might benefit the Iraqi Dinar should recognize that the two assets exist in fundamentally different economic ecosystems, with success metrics that are not only different but often contradictory.

The lesson for investors is clear: while political leadership can significantly impact certain asset classes, the specific characteristics of each investment determine how it responds to policy changes. Bitcoin's technological foundation and speculative nature make it responsive to regulatory developments, while the Iraqi Dinar's role as a national currency requires it to prioritize stability over explosive growth.

 Monday Coffee with MarkZ. 7/21/2025

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Good Morning Mark and Mods! Praying this week is our week!

Member: Really praying this our week we all need this breakthrough

Member: Seems like its been a slow weekend ? Not much going on with the RV ?

Member: Will we go this week? Or do you think it’ll take up to another month, as some are saying? Especially with POTUS’s comment about “payments going out on Aug.1st”?

Member: That is probably about tariffs. Nothing about the RV… ..

MZ: I think July is still very much still in play

Member: Well , someone needs to just flip the switch

Member: I am still waiting to see disclosure and arrests.

Member: they can't get arrested while they are in office and guess who goes on vacation on the 1st?

MZ:  I have nothing new on bonds yet today….There is nothing negative…and nothing positive. Usually no bond updates until Tuesdays. 

Member:  I believe bonds may have already been paid, they are being told to stay quiet to cloud the timing.

Member: Mark, you haven't seemed to have bitten on any news lately. It kinda seems like you are waiting on something specific. What is it?

MZ: In Iraq we had a lot of negative articles….but it seems to have a few days of negative and then switches to a few days of good articles …it’s a yo-yo while they keep specifics on the RV clouded and smokey. 

MZ: “Al Kazemi: More than 165 deputies are ready to legislate the law on the popular mobilization forces”  this is a huge move forward when coupled with the HCL 

Member: Sudani is supposed to have an urgent public tv announcement around 8 am Iraq time

Member: I heard that Sudani formed a special committee to form the budget tables and told Parliament that they will have them in a month. Hmmm

MZ: He said “Within the month” Lots of interesting things happening.

Member: Sudani also said it would happen before end of Dec and by Ramadon…but we are still waiting.

Member: If Bagdad doesn't get it done this week we'll have to talk to Bagmom!...lol

Member: While Iraq plays their games…I hope VND RV’s!

Member: I am very tired of these games…..someone needs to do something. 

Member: I have been hearing the dong at 1$

Member: give me a $1 rate…and Im set! time to disappear lol

Member: I think Dong will be a shocker, a very big blessing

Member: that might just happen...as per info on Perplexity AI...Primeminister of Vietnam is impatient and we are now (July) in the final stage ... of the phased rollout of VND revaluation...

MZ: “ Turkiye to end 52 year old pipeline deal with Iraq in 2026”  this is coming up for renewal. They are renegotiating it. Parts of the pipeline need to be updated. This does snot mean Iraq is losing the pipeline. 

MZ: It really does feel like it did days before the Kuwaiti revaluation

Member: Mark awhile back you mentioned the Kuwait dinar and said it went up to $9.88. How long did it take to get up to that and about how long did it stay that high, do you know?

Member: It floated up and down but only high rates for a really short time…..I believe

MZ: It floated for days….but,  It stayed that high for mere minutes….then crashed quickly 

Member: Mark in your opinion will we get notifications first or Iraq posts a rate first??

 MZ: With the modern day internet….I think it will have to be at the same time. 

Member: Frank 26 still thinks it may be a float with the dinar.

Member: Mark, Q. it the Dinar floats dose the price change hourly or once a day?

MZ: They made it clear that they will not “Free float” like Kuwait. I was told the most they would allow it to float is 20% over a year. But it is fixed to a currency basket so it wouldn’t float the same way . 

Member: I wonder- What ever happened to the “Auditing Fort Knox” thing?

Member: Seems finances are not a priority with this administration. So probably not a darn thing happened with audits on Ft Knox, the Treasury or the Fed. 

Member: Lots has happened, just not at the timing most want it to happen.

Member: I tried to use my bank card on sat nite it wouldn't work checked and they said system down for maintenance

Member: The world is going to flip upside down when... IMO ripple which filed for a master federal banking license becomes the new US FED 2.0 version and XRP becomes the new US digital/bridge currency!

Member: See you all tomorrow morning at 10:00 am EST for another great podcast!! God Bless You All!!

Mod : No podcast Monday nights
