The first stage stage is conducting bilateral trade in the currencies of the trading partners. This is already well advanced. However, this is not actual de-dollarization, which is the establishment of a competing monetary system with a goal of eventually replacing the USD as the primary global currency. No one thinks that this will happen quickly and without growing pains, or without Western opposition. But it is a stated goal rather than simply an aspiration. The Unit plan is now on the table.Sputnik GlobeDe-Dollarization Bombshell: The Coming of BRICS+ Decentralized Monetary EcosystemPepe EscobarSee
