Anyone think that there will really be a BRICS currency?

[–] knfrmity@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 2 days ago

Yes, but more like the bancor (a la Keynes) for central bank settlements rather than a currency you or I could use to buy lunch.

I hope they develop some kind of way to avoid western currencies, so yeah, a BRICS currency would be neat
