Article: "Does deleting the currency’s zeros affect its value? An economist explains"
THE CBI IS SENDING TRUSTED ECONOMISTS TO EXPLAIN THE MONETARY REFORM EDUCATION OF DELETING THE ZEROS FROM THE EXCHANGE RATE! IMO they're about to give the citizens a new exchange rate with new lower notes to match...They already told them that process will then take that exchange rate, which will be at least 1 to 1 but I think is going to be higher, to float in the basket internationally.
Article: "The dinar and its three zeros - is it time to symak the dinar and return to the dinar 1980" IMO [symak means make]
What's so big about 1980?
So you want to return the dinar to the 1980's? By 1971, '72, '73, the Iraqi dinar on the international market was $3.778. Then...it was reduced on purpose to $3.2169 in 1980.
Iraq is one step ahead of us. The Iraqi citizens...are already taking their 3-zero notes and taking them to the bank and opening accounts because they know the monetary reform has educated them...All of a sudden bank accounts just exploded in Iraqi banks...

We are clearly witnessing a shift in money flows regarding Treasury Bonds. The Global Economy is already changing the way we live and how we invest in the future.
Investor sentiment is changing. The move from intermediate term Treasury Bonds to bonds with maturity dates of two, three, five, and even 10 years out are getting a second look.
Society is realizing that our economy is in transition, and many investors are beginning to pour their money into longer term opportunities to grow their money. It looks like people are beginning to bank on a brighter future.
As our tokenized assets settle into new price patterns, the new digital gold economy will bring in new life inside a QFS.
