🚀 Michael Saylor predicts Bitcoin at one million dollars
Michael Saylor believes bear markets are a thing of the past and foresees BTC reaching between $500,000 and $1 million, fueled by growing institutional adoption, a limited supply (450 BTC per day), and attractive yields. He claims that under current regulations, an inflow of just $50M is enough to spark momentum across the entire crypto ecosystem.

BRICS: Putin Buries the Dollar in Sino-Russian Trade
The shift is now official. At the BRICS summit, Vladimir Putin confirmed a radical change: the U.S. dollar no longer has a place in trade between Moscow and Beijing. This declaration goes beyond mere commercial transactions and redefines global monetary balances.
Putin Confirms the End of the Dollar in Russia-China Trade
From Johannesburg, the Russian president formalized a move already underway: bilateral transactions between Russia and China are now conducted “almost exclusively” in rubles and yuan. The dollar and the euro, long dominant in international trade, are now relegated to the status of mere “statistical units.”
This is not a minor choice. It aligns with solid trade dynamics. Since 2021, trade between the two powers has grown by more than $100 billion, particularly in energy and automotive sectors. This growth accelerated under Western sanctions against Moscow, which strengthened the interdependence of the two economies.
To support this shift, an autonomous financial settlement system has been established. According to Putin, it avoids any form of external pressure while ensuring operational and monetary stability. This alternative structure, breaking away from SWIFT standards, illustrates the determination of both countries to build resilience against Western-dominated circuits.
Toward a Global De-Dollarization Driven by BRICS?
This Sino-Russian monetary realignment resonates more broadly within the BRICS forum, which also includes Brazil, India, and South Africa. The summit highlighted growing calls to end the dollar’s monopoly in global trade. Several members advocated expanding settlements in local currencies or even creating a common BRICS currency, still under discussion.
China, with its economic and monetary weight, plays a central role in this shift. The yuan is gradually establishing itself as an alternative for international transactions, particularly in emerging markets where it benefits from the expansion of the Belt and Road Initiative.
Faced with global monetary fragmentation, BRICS seeks greater financial sovereignty, reduced exposure to economic sanctions, and an affirmation of its weight in a multipolar world. The Sino-Russian choice to abandon the dollar is a concrete and strategic expression of this vision.
