Bitcoin Central to Challenging US Dollar Dominance in ‘Fair World Order

• Russian President Vladimir Putin disregarded the US-led rules-based world order and advocated for a fair world order spearheaded by the BRICS alliance.
• The notable difference between the United States-led G7 coalition and the Russian-led BRICS movement has created a favorable environment for the nature of Bitcoin as a global reserve currency and digital asset.

The adoption of the flagship crypto asset, Bitcoin (BTC), as the global reserve currency continues to gradually challenge and shake legacy nuclear-powerful countries like the United States and Russia.

As for the ‘rules-based world order,’ there are no such rules; in reality, they change every day depending on the current political agenda and the transitory interests of those [who are constantly]talking about it. The 2024 BRICS summit will demonstrate that there are enough forces in this world, powerful countries who want to live not in accordance with those unwritten rules, but rather in accordance with the rules enshrined in fundamental, cornerstone documents, which include the United Nations Charter, and those who are guided by their interests and those of their partners, who do not impose anything on anyone, and do not create any military blocs, while fostering the conditions for effective joint development,

The ongoing wars in Ukraine and Israel have significantly complicated global geopolitical differences, forcing economists to review their short-term and long-term agendas. Nonetheless, it is evident that more people do not support the killing of innocent lives to propel the agenda of certain individuals in power.
