** Welcome To The Choke Points **
BRICS “de-dollarization” gets treated like a single announcement — a new currency, a new system, and the dollar is done. That’s not how global finance changes.
In this episode of The Choke Points, we break down why the BRICS de-dollarization plan is still incomplete — not as a debate, but as a structural map of what’s missing: no common BRICS currency, local-currency trade frictions, missing payment/settlement infrastructure, lack of bloc-wide coordination across 10 members, external pressure, and why basket/gold-linked “unit” concepts still aren’t “money” at scale.
If you follow the current world order, BRICS, SCO, and the Global South — this is the framework you need.
