“Working on it” – Coffee with MarkZ Intel Stream Highlights 10-23-25

Summary:

The wait can be excruciating, and for those following MarkZ’s daily coffee calls, Thursday, October 23rd, 2025, brought another blend of updates, frustrations, and glimmers of hope. As transcribed by PDK, this particular session captured the ongoing tension within the community eagerly anticipating the much-discussed Revaluation (RV) and the broader Global Currency Reset (GCR).

The call opened with a familiar sentiment: gratitude for a new day, but an undeniable weariness from the prolonged wait. As one member lamented, “here we are approaching the end of October….. still nothing.” The historical note of Black Thursday (October 24, 1929) even sparked a speculative query about a potential “black Friday,” underscoring the high stakes and nervous energy. MarkZ himself, reflecting the collective mood, admitted, “I cannot stand these quiet days….I just want something big, fast and quick….they need to git er’done.” The comical, yet telling, image of “bondholders… squatters in Reno” (and Zurich, Columbia, and beyond) painted a vivid picture of the sheer dedication, and perhaps desperation, of those positioned to benefit from the RV.

A significant talking point revolved around the transition to a new financial system, specifically regarding ISO 20022. Members highlighted an interview featuring Jon Dowling, MarkZ, and “Zester Z,” with Zester’s explanation of ISO 20022 coins and their adoption being particularly illuminating. The mention of “ISO22 in effect 11/22” (presumably November 22nd, 2025) indicates a firm date for a pivotal shift towards this global standard for financial messaging, which many believe is a foundational element for the GCR. Zester’s ability to provide “the clearest most comprehensive explanation of our new financial system” suggests a growing understanding of the technical underpinnings of these anticipated changes.

The focus on Iraq and the Dinar RV remained central. MarkZ confirmed Iraqi Prime Minister Sudani’s planned trip to Washington D.C. to meet with Donald Trump, a significant geopolitical development. On the economic front, Iraq’s Central Bank Governor, Alaq, has been actively discussing the tripartite budget, noting “very large spending and a high level of deficit.” Crucially, Alaq also talks about “deleting the zeros,” implying that the expected new value for the Dinar was not achieved halfway through the budget, leading to the deficit. MarkZ interpreted this as a positive sign, indicating that the Iraqi authorities are actively “working on it” and that when Iraq says they are “working on it,” they are often “really just about done.”

Further bolstering confidence, Alaq’s tour reportedly reassured that there are “no obstacles in the way of withdrawing oil revenues from US banks,” dispelling “e------n year rhetoric.” He also underscored that the project to delete the zero is “well underway” and “ongoing.” Additionally, Iraq’s growing gold reserves (with over 162 tons and a monthly buying spree) were highlighted as a critical support for the Iraqi currency, providing a stable foundation for a revaluation. Regarding older Dinar notes featuring S----m Hussein, MarkZ offered mixed thoughts, advising holders not to buy more but to certainly bring them to an exchange “just in case.” A member’s report from “Frank” suggested that the rate would be seen in the budget before Parliament received it on the 26th, with exchange centers inside Iraq starting to collect three-zero notes on the 25th.

The discussion broadened to other currencies, with specific figures offered for the Zimbabwean RV. MarkZ reported hearing “on the low side its $11 million per $100T note….and the high side is $50 million per 1 $100T note,” with most estimates around $30 million. For Zim Agro checks, the figure was quoted at “$330 grand per $1 billion.” Meanwhile, Vietnam’s economy showed impressive strength, with a “staggering 8.2% GDP increase in Quarter 3 of 2025,” suggesting a robust foundation for the Dong. In the commodities market, members noted that metals “bounced off of yesterday’s lows,” and the price difference between silver options and physical silver had tightened, an observation to “keep an eye on.”

The emotional toll of the prolonged wait was palpable. Members voiced their exhaustion, “mentally exhausted,” and praying for “our weekend” to finally arrive. Yet, the community spirit remained evident with well wishes for birthdays and anniversaries. The call concluded with the announcement that Dr. Scott was planning to join the evening session, offering another perspective to the ever-eager audience.

In essence, this MarkZ coffee call captured a snapshot of an expectant community balancing frustration with persistent hope. While the “quiet days” are challenging, the detailed discussions around ISO 20022, the active steps in Iraq, and the specific figures for other currencies continue to fuel the belief that significant financial shifts are, indeed, on the horizon. As MarkZ always advises, listeners should consider everything as opinion and consult a professional for any financial decisions. The wait continues, but so does the vigilance.

Thursday Coffee with MarkZ. 10/23/2025

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: I’m giving thanks for another blessed day!! Good morning to all

Member: here we are approaching the end of October….. still nothing

Member: Oct 24, 1929 the market crashed – could tomorrow be a black Friday?

Member: I’ve just been watching Jon Dowling, Mark Z, & Zester Z in their interview. Very good. Interesting what Zester said about the ISO 20022 coins & adoption.

Member: ISO22 in effect 11/22

​​Member: Zester gave the clearest most comprehensive explanation of our new financial system that I’ve ever heard.

Member: The stress of waiting for this RV is clogging my liver!

MZ: Well, this is a quiet day for news…nothing wrong and the news is good…just not much of it.  – I cannot stand these quiet days….I just want something big, fast and quick….they need to git er’done.

Member: Bondholders have become squatters in Reno, waiting on RV…lol

MZ: lol- They have become squatters all over the place…..From Zurich to Reno to Columbia and many other places.

MZ: Bond side is still quiet. I have a contact who has a meeting that starts in 24 minutes or so and a couple others who have meetings today or tomorrow.   Hoping to hear some news about timing .

Member: Will we be able to exchange the older dinar with the face of Sadaam Hussein on it?

MZ: I get mixed thoughts on this by many. I think there is a chance, but wouldn’t count on it. I would definitely take it with me at exchange time. Just in case. But I wouldn’t go out and buy any.

Member: I am interested to understand what it means for the RV if Sudani does or does not get re-elected….

Member: I hear Sudani is planning a trip to meet with Trump in Washington DC

MZ: I can confirm that. He is planning a trip to Washington DC

Member: Frank reported that we would see the rate in the budget prior to Parliament recieving it on the 26th. Exchange centers inside Iraq start the 25th to turn in 3 zero notes. Not sure when we RV

Member: Mark, based on all the news coming out of Iraq, geopolitical news, bond news, basics, etc…What is your gut saying about timing??

MZ: Some Iraq news: “ Alaq to Rudaw: The tripartite budget included very large spending and a high level of deficit”  he also talks about deleting the zeros in this one. But it seems they had expected to have a new value done halfway through the budget and did not get it done so they now have a deficit. IMO

MZ: That they are talking about the budget and the need to delete zeros in this one sitting tells us something. To me he is telling us they are working on it and we will see it soon.

MZ: I am ready to have it done.

MZ: “No obstacles in the way of withdrawing oil revenues from US banks” Al- Alaq has been on a tour. He is letting us know that all the e------n year rhetoric is BS. He is trying to keep everyone grounded.

MZ: He also wants us to know the project to delete the zero is well underway …that the project still exists and it is ongoing. They are right now working on it. One thing I found about Iraq – when they say they are working on it- they are really just about done.

MZ: “Iraq is the fourth Arab (nation) in possession of gold” they want us to know they are growing their gold reserves. They have over 162 tons and are on a buying spree and adding more gold monthly to their totals. It is important for the support it gives to the Iraq currency.

Member: Vietnam is operating at peak performance. The nation reported a staggering 8.2% GDP increase in Quarter 3 of 2025

Member: Any guess on the Zimbabwe rv value?

MZ: I continue to hear that on the low side its $11 million per $100T note….and the high side is $50 million per 1 $100T note. Most of what I have heard over the years is around $30 million per $100T bond note.

MZ: On the Zim Agro checks I continue to hear $330 grand per $1 billion.

Member: Metals look like the bounced off of yesterday’s lows; the price difference between silver options and physical silver price has tightened again. Something to keep an eye on IMO

Member: Praying this our weekend and we don’t have to have to go through this same old “we’re almost there process anymore.” I love being with you all but mentally exhausted

Member: Blessings & Congratulations To All Celebrating Their Anniversaries & Birthdays Today

Member: Thanks to all …and hoping everyone has a great day today.

MZ: Dr. Scott is planning on joining us this evening.

Video Summary (Related Information Only):

The video podcast opens with casual greetings and birthday wishes, transitioning into discussions about military service members, currency exchange rumors, and political commentary. The host addresses questions about the revaluation and exchangeability of historic currency notes, especially the controversial “100T” Zim notes, expressing skepticism but advising cautious optimism and preparedness.

The conversation then shifts to geopolitical and economic topics, including Iraq’s gold reserves and currency reforms, the anticipated economic revaluation (RV), and the challenges facing the U.S. with rising healthcare premiums and government shutdowns. The host critiques politicians’ inability to solve systemic problems, suggesting these issues persist to maintain v---r dependency. The discussion touches on food supply concerns, noting the shrinking U.S. beef herd relative to population growth, and the impact of artificial price inflation on essential goods.

Key Insights

[15:28] Iraq’s Strategic Gold Accumulation and Currency Reform: Iraq is aggressively increasing its gold reserves, reportedly backing about 20% of its currency with gold—one of the highest gold backing ratios globally. The government’s focus on deleting zeros from currency and stabilizing value reflects a broader strategy to strengthen economic sovereignty and combat inflation. These reforms are complex and tied to budget deficits, but officials emphasize ongoing progress, signaling a cautious but determined approach to monetary stabilization in a volatile region.

[37:46] Government Dysfunction and Accountability Crisis: The ongoing U.S. government shutdown illustrates systemic dysfunction, with millions of federal workers missing paychecks while Congress struggles to pass a budget. The host suggests that lawmakers should face financial penalties if they fail to fulfill budgetary responsibilities, proposing salary deductions proportional to deficits. This viewpoint reflects widespread public frustration with political gridlock and calls for greater accountability to restore trust and effective governance.

This episode blends current events with health education, emphasizing preparedness in both financial and physical well-being. The host and guests provide nuanced insights into geopolitical currency reforms, economic challenges like healthcare inflation and food supply constraints, while advocating for the transformative health benefits of ionized, alkalized water. Listeners are encouraged to stay informed, plan prudently, and prioritize their health through proper hydration and detoxification, offering practical steps and resources for engagement.
