Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I'm working on a small fictional country that might be good for money launderers. How would this affect its relations with other countries? (please click for details)
2·2 days agoOk, then they are going to have a serious problem trying to launder money because they can’t hide more than 40-60% of what they get via tourism (which puts a very hard cap for how much they can launder) and if they get caught they will lose everything.
Which means they will have to pour more than half the profits from money laundering to improving their tourism sector

3·2 days agoIf the currency was gold or oil backed, then the worst thing that could happen is that they would be cut off from the US controlled banking system which effectively means that they would be paying a 1.4% interest premium for any national debt services. But aside from that, no meaningful impacts.
If it wasn’t backed by gold/oil then they would have more of a problem but then I would need to know more about their international exports (other than the dollars that they are laundering)

3·2 days agoDepends on how it is framed. If it is a cryptocurrency exchange where dollars turn into locally backed stable coin currency equivalents. Then no one will care.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How to gain weight from eating almost exclusively bread and potatoes?
1·7 days agoGreat news, some microgreens are ready for harvest in under a week.
But if you can provide some regional information; I can provide some plants that are local to you that would be weeds and thus impossible for you to run out of them and could be obtained for free.

3·7 days agoYou are experiencing diet fatigue (which is a potentially fatal condition)
Buy sugar and spices; start growing some micro greens to supplement your diet (to prevent scurvy and folic acid deficiency)

That is a fair perspective to have on a personal level but outside of the US banking system. Why would anyone assign any value to the US dollar?
The only reason why a US dollar has any value is because you can recycle the dollars into oil (or gold or silver or platinum).
Now that oil/dollar recycling was killed by Trump, the global demand for US dollars is collapsing slowly as countries try to unwind their dollar positions.
The question of the value of any currency is what can you get with that currency. That is why trade deficits ultimately disappear. It ultimately accumulates and impacts future prices.
