Can't wait for the political pundits and economists of my country to have an existential crisis over no longer being able to sum up every government decision by "Dollar exchange value went down/up so it is good/bad". Doubt it will be as quick as he makes it out to be though, he's probably going for one of those quick cash grab book deals.

Haha likely, although the narrative itself has power. The more people talk about dedollarization the more the idea becomes normalized. So he is doing his part in a way. :)

Yeah, I've never heard so many people openly talking about the possibility of not relying on the dollar in South America. The USA's grip on people's mind seems to finally have begun wavering after 60 years of trusting them and their Harvard economists blindly.
