Russia and China have started making calculations for energy resources in bitcoins, which shows real steps towards dedollarisation and creating an alternative to the SWIFT system.
These are not just talks, but practical actions which, although informal, have already started.
Economist Vasily Koltashov in an interview with the Public News Service, he noted that the changes are not happening as strongly as it seems. He stresses that the ruble calculations - are just the tip of the iceberg. These calculations conceal complex schemes, including the use of bitcoins, cash dollars and yuan, as well as agency schemes involving third parties.
In fact, according to Koltashov, significant things are happening hybridization calculationwhich are not advertised but are becoming common practice. The innovation is that companies are starting to openly declare the use of alternative currencies, such as yuan and cryptocurrencies, as part of their logistics.
Since 2022, world trade, including Russia's, has undergone profound changes. The old schemes no longer work, and new mechanisms are still being formed. Koltashov stresses that there is a revolution in calculations and there will be no return to previous conditions.
