Damn, US is in godmode with international trade... I wonder what the BRICS have their hopes in to make such a bold move

Trade isnt finance. That is what people miss. To be an international currency, you need to be international, with depth, sophistication, liquidity and derivatives.

That is one thing. But all currencies are local, outside the Euro which is regional. None are truly international. The entire international banking and financial system is built on the USD.
