🚨🚨BRICS GROUP LAUNCHES GOLD-BACKED UNIT PAYMENT SYSTEM 🚨🚨

Russia & China Are Attempting to Issue a TERMINAL BLOW to the USD as Global Reserve Currency Using #GOLD:

⚡️The #BRICS have launched a pilot project for a new settlement instrument called "The Unit," which is backed by a blend of ⚡️40% PHYSICAL GOLD ⚡️ & 60% BRICS national currencies.

Pegged to GOLD: Each Unit is currently pegged to a value equivalent to 1 gram of gold, however its daily value fluctuates based on the exchange rate of its constituent currencies against gold.

Structure: "The Unit" is a mixed-backed exchange unit administered by the International Reserve and Investment Asset System (#IRIAS).

Digital Reserve Currency: The system is designed as a digital platform utilizing transparent #blockchain technology.

The Unit was just launched as only a pilot program initially, with only 100 units issued.

While the full global rollout is yet to be announced, the US #Dollar has been officially put on notice.

Russia and China are officially coming after the USD's role as global reserve currency, and their weapon of choice to SLAUGHTER the globalists is none other than GOLD.

Translation: The US Dollar is COOKED!!

Everyone's talking about #silver, but what about #copper?

#Copper is up 43% this year, on pace for the best year since 2009.

Morgan Stanley expects the most severe copper deficit in 22 years in 2026 (-590k tons).

In fact, output in the world’s largest producing country is at one of its lowest levels in over a decade.

At the same time, demand from AI data centers and electric vehicles is expected to outpace supply. 

Nearly half of copper mines are over 20 years old, and ore grades have fallen ~40% since 1991, pushing costs higher and slowing supply response.

Miners have struggled for years to keep up.

Data suggests higher copper prices are here to stay.
