I wonder if you pretend to throw a stick for it would get confused and go running after it?

I think the important part about predictions is that if one wants to be seen as 'right' ( No One wants a broken watch - even those that don't work ) they are broad enough and unspecific enough ( vague ) that in hindsight one can make them apply to many situations and claim it was informed foresight - not descriptive ambiguity.
I also realise I'm going to self moderate some things because they are currently it seems quite divisive , and even if I spoke about them in a non-political way , someone will no doubt throw a tantrum at a certain world leaders / persons name just being mentioned and spin off on some diatribe.
So - BRIC's - Will it become a more substantial organisation -Yes I think so - you just need to have a look at the interested parties on the waiting list to get into the Worlds newest global nightclub.
BRICS Countries List Expands in Global Shift, 32 More Waiting to Join
BRICS countries list expands in 2025 as new members join, reshaping global markets amid uncertainty, volatility, and investment challenges.

As its more likely to be in the interests of those in OPEC or OPEC+ to want to be included I think this will continue as it will offer secondary direct means to trade oil.
At the moment however there is a over looming issue that is a fly in the ointment in some ways for those interested parties - the Bouncer on the newly created night club has the option to impose a punitive tariff to those that wish to attend.
As such I think BRIC's will be happy to dangle a carrot to those that wish to join but be patient enough to undertsand that in all likely hood this won't happen before a reign of 2029 comes to an end. The early adopters have set the ground work - they are large enough to generate interest and hold it - others countries will want to be on the waiting list.
So I can't see the Dollar going away anytime soon. And even if it does it will just become a digital recreation I think. As to if that is backed by anything tangible??? Who knows.
I don't think any of the interested parties are seeking to rush this situation - like oil tankers they are turning but its going to take some time for them all to turn to where they need to be. But turn they will.
Predicting the future is a mugs game really but it's still fun to do. You know you will probably be wrong. It's just a case of how wrong. A little bit or a lot? But that's all part of the fun. Trying to get as close as possible to seeing the future.
It also takes plenty of luck as well as having understanding and insight. For example in your other thread several months ago I correctly predicted that silver would do well. I was highly confident to the point of near certainty it would happen due to the supply/demand fundamentals which are in play. However as silver had been flat for several years I couldn't be sure exactly when silver would start rising. Only that it was bound to rise sooner or later once the existing stockpiles ran out. The fact that it started moving just a week or two after I initially mentioned it was pure luck to be honest. I would not have been at all surprised if it had taken another twelve months or mere before it started going up dramatically.

I have another two financial predictions for 2026.
The first is that central banks (namely the Bank of England here in the UK and the European Central Bank in the EU) will restart QE sometime in the first quarter of this year. Then due to the time delay lag effect we will start to see a noticeable uptick in the rate of price inflation by the fourth quarter of this year to the point where it gets high enough to make front page headlines in the newspapers.
The second financial predictions for 2026 is that they will try and tell us it is not really QE and give it a different name. But whatever they call they will still be digitally creating new currency out of thin air and injecting it into the the financial system from where it will spread out into general circulation amongst the population and cause price inflation.

Havent they just done this stateside? Including the rephrasing?
Yes they did.
Which is exactly the reason why I think the Bank of England and the European Central Bank will probably follow suit and do exactly the same thing in the next few months.

C'mon Horseguy
Not much of a leap is it . Just a slight lag in timeframe.
Some predictions are easy peasy to make and pretty much a guaranteed dead cert.C'mon Horseguy

That's tempted fate now though. Watch that prediction end up being totally wrong and I'll end up looking like a prat when they start QT instead and we get deflation.
Take a standard tracer round of your favourite calibre and prepare the following:-
Dip the round in a reduction of garlic infused Holy water
( Take your Vatican approved Holy water ( look for the sign of the papal blessing on the packing ) , put in a pan , set heat to low , simmer & reduce to 1/10 the original volume ) -
Then take a culinary micro plane and ( with love & care , no-one likes grated fingers ) grate a 999% pure Silver Ag ingot into a shallow dish - now take the sticky moist tip and gentle roll in the Silver as a per sugaring a mince pie so that it has a fine shiny powdered glittery covering.
Like a murderous high velocity disco mirror ball.
Allow to dry - take the round and place tip up in a micro vice , take the smallest of angled files available and ( remembering the excitable material compounds ) ever so slowly with fine hand and pure heart , scribe into the tip a small but definite crucifix for extra festive Juzz for the Chef's kiss of approval.
These arn't just Vampire killing bullets.
These are Tesco's finest Vampire killing bullets.
That's a good question. If a silver jacketed bullet works how about a regular bullet with just a micron thick coating of silver plating on it? Then if that works how about using just a few atoms of silver on the tip of the bullet? At what point does having too little silver stop working on werewolves? With the price of silver so high these days this could keep me lying awake at night.
Also does it even have to be a bullet which is used or is it just a case of getting some silver into a werewolves heart by any means which matters? How about using electrolysis to create a weak solution of water and silver (aka colloidal silver) and then introduce this solution into the werewolves drinking supply. Some of the silver atoms would get absorbed into its bloodstream through the intestine and from there get pumped around in the blood until it reaches the heart. Then kabam! You have one dead werewolf on your hands and a lot less mess to clean up afterwards.

When you are in the position of facing a 400lb snarling 8ft tall Lycan moving with lighting speed , are you really going to consider skimping ?
" Bear with me a minute please Spot - just need to change magazines and test a theory of titration. "
It all about using economies of scale to our advantage. I say we should pool our resources together now before the werewolf apocalypse begins. We could hire someone to start a werewolf farm and run the series of tests I suggested above. You know in the name of science or something. Then once we've discovered the most cost efficient to produce yet still 100% effective silver ammunition to use we could mass produce those much cheaper rounds on a larger scale.When you are in the position of facing a 400lb snarling 8ft tall Lycan moving with lighting speed , are you really going to consider skimping ?
What would you prefer to take into battle when the werewolves attack? Half a dozen solid silver bullets each because that's we could afford to buy or a fully automatic machine gun with several magazines containing many thousands of silver plated rounds which individually are each just as effective as a solid silver bullet yet available in much greater numbers?

I think we're drifting away from Bushcraft. Whilst there's a certain appeal to the Underworld series of films I would expect a true Bushcraft Werewolf hunter go use something like a 45/70 with solid silver, after all you could dig out the bullet and reuse the silver. Then there's the question of how do you preserve a werewolf fur and would it only be furry during a full moon?
The problem with silver plating a bullet is the best base metal would be lead and lead is being banned - yet another fact the consultation completely ignored.

I really think you are all forgetting that those are humans for all but 12 or 13 nights of the year. Please join up to my new PWW (protect the were wolf) charity - donations can be made HERE
As both silver and copper have similar effects on microbes (ie. killing them) one would expect that an alloy of silver and copper would behave nicely as a bullet as it should have the killing power and greater strength than pure silver. Apparently casting the bullets is a little tricky as the metals do mix as liquids but tend to separate into eutectics while cooling. That should be solved by fast cooling.
