Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I think it was just a joke or a little gift for the summit. As far as I understand, BRICS isn't looking to make a singular currency akin to the Euro or something like that. Ben Norton had a good breakdown of the proposals that have been discussed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pHr5yzLEHA

Blockchain-Based BRICS Pay System

The forthcoming blockchain-based BRICS pay system is anticipated to revolutionise international trade. This new system offers an alternative to Western financial infrastructure like SWIFT. By adopting blockchain technology, BRICS countries are poised to enhance transparency and efficiency in cross-border transactions.

Fake news then, sad

What do you think the exchange rate to Iraqi Dinar will be after the RV?
