BRICS is so fetch…. Never going to happen.
- “That thing that’s already over a decade old and already much larger than the G7 in terms of population, landmass, natural resources, and industrial production… Never going to happen.”
- you can debate wether or not it's good or bad not wether or not it is real
  
  No. I can strongly say BRICS will never become a reserve currency. It’s nonsense. The euro will take dominance before that group.
  
  I can strongly say that, too, because BRICS is explicitly not trying to create a global reserve currency to replace the USD.
  If you don’t understand what BRICS is, then maybe don’t make predictions about it.
  
  Sounds like you’re agreeing with me now.
  
  I don't think BRICS is a currency.
  that's like saying north America isn't real because there is no North American currency.
