Re: The euro is doomed (4.00 / 11)

Hey, wait, they are saying that the Euro is already the world's key currency! The replacement took place without much fanfare, didn't it?

Bah (4.00 / 5)

you're choosing reality over reality-making.

Re: The euro is doomed (4.00 / 5)

There was in fact a New Bretton Woods Conference that re-ordered world currencies, officially instating the euro as top dog, but the media forgot to report on it.

(That whole piece is based on assimilating the euro to the Bretton Woods dollar, which is, to say the least, a whopping strawman).

Re: The euro is doomed (4.00 / 4)

They're also saying the world's main currency is doomed.

Confused much?

Re: The euro is doomed (none / 1)

Well, we used to say that the Dollar was doomed when it was still the main currency.

What they're saying is that the Euro is doomed because it is the main currency, which doesn't compute.
