US dollar hegemony starts to crumble

This is how this argument started. "None of your quotes are credible to me" as a reaction to literal quotes by Buffet. There are many exemptions to a 13F, nobody is going to list all of them here. If Buffet said that he︀ sold BYD for geopolitical reasons, there is no doubt that he did actually sell BYD.︁ End of argument.
Where did I write I went to school in the Netherlands or lived in the Netherlands?
PS. Let me share a canon of interpretation before you embark on a fruitless journey:
Casus omissus pro omisso habendus est.
Nothing is to be added to what the text states or reasonably implies. That is, a matter NOT COVERED, is to be treated as NOT covered. The interpreter must NOT read by way︀ of creation, policy preferences, or politics. It is NOT his function or within his power︁ to change, enlarge or even improve the text. The search for what the drafter "would︂ have wanted" is invariably either a deception or a delusion. 😉

The fact that you don't know the difference between a quote without proper credible citation and Warren explaining things on video shocks the living bejesus out of me. You do you! Invest ALL you want in any currency you︀ want. Good luck! 😉
Again, you made a HUGE assumption! A S S - U - M E rof/% rof/% rof/% rof/% rof/%
Do you think retired Dutch judges ONLY live in the Netherlands?
Do you think the Netherlands is the ONLY place that has VWO?
I'm out! Look up Hasty Generalizations fallacy: The Fallacy of 'Hasty Generalizations,’ Explained
Good luck! I'm out! rof/%
Look up also Jumping to conclusions fallacy!
Just admit that you saw retired Dutch and VWO and you ASSUMED the Netherlands. We ALL make mistakes! Some of us, more than others!
Be a man and own up to it! 😎
I can be of at least 7︀ other countries (former Dutch colonies). How do you like THEM apples now? Are you going︁ to apologize? Your reputation on this forum is at stake! 😎

You mean the person who starting speaking Dutch to me, send me an article from the leading Dutch newspaper, went to VWO, had a subsidized University degree from the EU and had a retired Dutch judge as neighbour? Which country could this be! Keep bullshitting. Keep shitting on the institution that bought your education and gave you the opportunity to become︀ who you are and most importantly, don't ever stop being a hypocrite!
Hey, I am︁ just being honest here:

Haha, all good. I personally don't live in The Netherlands. But I wonder which colony you did delivery of Chinese-Indonesian food, since that was so insanely ubiquitous in your day and age in The Netherlands themselves. That was the trigger, not the VWO. I thought they only ate rice and babi pangang in the colonies?
This is not about ego, I have been into these type of arguments in online fora from a very young age. They keep me fresh and sharp at almost no personal cost apart from time that might be better spend ;-).

It's all good, brother! 😎
It was really just Cantonese Chinese food. The owner also had a VHS and Betamax video store next door full of Chinese (HK) movies. After dinner time, I delivered food and movies to people's homes. A perk, we got to watch︀ Enter the Dragon and Silver Fox and Drunken Master in Chinese. A child learns quickly.︁ 😛
I needed money, so I worked a lot. I did every job I could get︂ my hands on. Our family was poor. They were immigrants. C'est la vie.
A lot︃ of wealthy European retired scholars moved there. It was safe and they could afford gated︄ communities on the beach! Rich French, Germans, Dutch, Brits, Italians etc etc. When I say︅ neighbor, I mean in the same neighborhood. NOT next-door neighbor. I spent my whole day︆ after school with the retired scholars doing work for them for money. Most Europeans, especially︇ retired scholars, seem to enjoy the hands-on approach to doing things. Hence, how I became︈ a polyglot.
Cheers, mate!

It sounds like you (have) had︅ a very interesting life then! The mastery of so many languages must have served you︆ incredibly well. My bad for assuming you were Dutch, I do speak Dutch but I︇ just don't live there anymore for multiple reasons.
Respect and cheers!

China may have problems in regards to the economy.
But there're also factors that benefit its economy which Europe and US don't and won't have.

Not a long time ago I also would critisize China - right here on this forum, as well as on others. Until I become willing to pay a closer attention to the shiт that West and US were and are doing 😉
No problem! That's my strength - you see? thu&¤#

The people who are longing for the collapse of China simply WILL always IGNORE the information that goes against their narrative. But they'll ALWAYS bring up the one PROVES that there're some things that indeed harm its economy. And use them as a proof that "you see? China is ABOUT to collapse"?
Why not take into account everything? China has been making deals all other the world, making friends and allies, becoming ever more powerful for a few decades, year after year. Even though there're, indeed, problems in its economy. But have there been MORE OF problems︀ in it? Or the things that make it grow and keep it in a good︁ shape?

How do I know this? Because I do it too, just on the︂ other side 😀

I agree with @BalnearioCamboriu
Visuals like this: Biggest Trading Partners since 1960
can help us get a better bird's eye view of what is going on around the world. 😉
PS. Someone on OCT wrote a few days ago about how we're all being hoodwinked by both sides and that they may (or may not) work in unison.
NGL...it triggered the f*ck out of mestupi#21, but having been surrounded by elderly people since I was a kid, I learned from them that everything that triggers me needs to be taken into account and analyzed. Weighed against the results I am seeking, then choose the "narrative"︀ that profits me (read "immediate verifiable bank deposits") the most! Of course, YMMV.
Or as︁ a very astute elderly friend once told me:
"I don't care if the dog is︂ black, white, brown, Rottweiler, German Shepherd, Pitbull, Doberman, or if it barks, speaks, meows etc︃ etc. As long as he viciously helps protect & guard me, my children, and my︄ property, he's family too! "😉

China also has︃ by far the largest Forex reserves on the planet to deploy which it does not︄ need to do..lol. Problem seems to be too many Youtubers making click bait videos brainwashing︅ people about a China collapse without understanding the reality. I seem to remember Russia collapse︆ as well...lol 🙄.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/247231/currency-reserves-of-selected-countries/
People are also missing the growth of China's own payment network︇ CIPS as an alternative to SWIFT. SWIFT has been around since 1973 and has over︈ 11,000 banks from 200 countries using it. CIPS has only been around since 2015 and︉ already has over 4,200 banks from over 182 countries using it last time I looked︊ and it is growing rapidly. CIPS will move from using SWIFT elements at some point.︋ Right now its being rolled out silently with no fanfare.

P.S No one needs︌ to try to replace the dollar as the US will do this themselves via threatening︍ to sanction everyone...lol 😉.
