Our ostensible ally the United Arab Emirates is now using cryptocurrency to complete their energy transactions with China. Just a matter of time before the dollar goes bust.

Re: "UAE now using crypto currency to complete energy transactions with China..."

That is hard to believe.

Over the last month, Bitcoin has been fluctuating close to 10% each week. Over the last year, close to 5% each week.

Trying to hedge a spread like that would be very expensive, and, your option coverage might still become completely illiquid.

In the meantime, the US Dollar continues to trade around $103 (par is $100) against a basket of foreign currencies.

Crazy - but still true.
