“First Domino to Fall?” – Coffee with MarkZ Intel Stream Highlights 1-3-25

Summary:

The latest Weekend Coffee with MarkZ podcast, dated January 3, 2026, has left listeners excited and hopeful about the upcoming developments in the world of currency reset and other financial news. As always, MarkZ cautioned listeners to consider his opinions and to consult professionals before making any financial decisions. The podcast began with the first 45 minutes dedicated to CBD Guru’s discussion, followed by MarkZ and Zester sharing their insights and analysis on various news and events.

The conversation started on a hopeful note, with a member welcoming the first weekend of 2026 and expressing excitement about the possibilities. MarkZ responded by stating that things are indeed getting interesting, although the historic bond side remains quiet. Members chimed in with their observations and speculations, including the notion that the recent changes in Venezuela and Iran could be connected to the currency reset.

One member pointed out that Japan and China are dumping US Treasuries, which could be a sign that the Petrodollar is losing its value. Others discussed the potential impact of Venezuela’s Bolivar being included in the first basket of currencies, with one member mentioning a reported 480% increase in its value. The conversation also touched on the developments in Iran, where protesters are seeking to overthrow the current regime and reinstate the former Crown Prince.

MarkZ noted that these regime changes could be the first domino to fall, potentially paving the way for other countries to follow suit. He highlighted a significant development in Iraq, where the Rafidain bank has been reformed and allocated “high” capital by the government. This news was seen as a positive sign, as it was previously indicated that the Iraqi banks would be reformed before the currency reset.

The discussion also covered the potential impact of rising global oil prices on the value of currencies, particularly in countries like Iraq and Venezuela. MarkZ shared a bank story suggesting that the exchange rate for the Dong could be between $5.35 and $5.40, although this comes with certain restrictions. He expressed excitement about verifying this information and potentially confirming a significant increase in the value of the Dong.

The conversation took an interesting turn when a member mentioned a $15.7 billion silver whale that has entered the market, triggering emergency risk alerts in US banks. MarkZ explained that a 50 million silver ounce short had been bought and sold cheaply, and that a new buyer had entered the market, purchasing $15.7 billion worth of physical silver. With physical silver currently trading at around $80-$90, this development has the potential to significantly impact the market.

The coincidence of events in Iran, Venezuela, and the silver market has led some members to speculate that the countdown for the currency reset has begun. As MarkZ and Zester wrapped up the podcast, listeners were left with a sense of optimism and anticipation for the week ahead. As one member put it, “The Best is Yet to Come!” With Zester’s insights and analysis available in the replay from around the 45-minute mark, listeners have a wealth of information to digest and consider as they look ahead to a potentially eventful year.

The first 45 minutes is CBD Guru’s -Then Mark and Zester with news.

Member: Welcome to the first weekend of 2026….Hoping it’s a good one

Member: Good Morning Mark, Mods and fellow RV’ers..I am a little excited today

MZ: Things are definitely getting interesting. To start its still very quiet on the Historic bond side.

Member: If they signed NDA’s – of course they are quiet…..we all should be quiet after we exchange as well.

Member: Anybody think we will get this RV started in the month of January ?

Member: Japan and China are dumping US Treasuries…I believe the Petrodollar is going down

Member: I’m wondering with the big changes in Venezuela- will the Bolivar now be in the first basket?

Member: I read that the Bolivar had increased by 480%. hoping its true! they need it..we need it

Member: The Venezuela people liberated! The Iran people rising up! Maybe Iran will also be in the first basket?

Member: Irans currency has crashed……so protesters are trying to reinstate the former Prince and overthrow the bad guys right now.

Member: Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has encouraged and backed the protestors this time! Telling them to overthrow the Iranian regime

MZ: Have they indeed made these moves so that those counties could be in the first basket? Could this be the first domino to fall? We may be seeing two large regime changes this week.  

Member: I hope we don’t have to wait for Iran to implement all the things that Iraq has? If that is the case we may be waiting another two-three years for Iran.

Member: I think the Iranian Crown Prince Palavi will be rightfully returned to power…I believe he was raised and educated in the US?

Member: IMO-Iraq and Iran are working to tie their currencies together

Member: Im thinking Mark Savaya (Special US Envoy to Iraq) may be en route to Iraq now while the focus is on Muduro and Venezuela.

MZ: “The Iraqi Government allocates “high” capital for the Rafidain bank in its new form”  It has been reformed. We were told just before the RV we would see a reformation of Iraqi banks. This is a big one.

MZ: “Government Advisor expects global oil prices to rise after events in Venezuela”  this may be good to support the value of their currency

Member: Some rumors floating around say Dong @ $5.35/5.40 ? Hope its true.

MZ: I have a short bank story. Somewhere between $5.35 and $5.40 take home for people who have been allowed to deposit …but cannot yet move it out of that bank. It comes with serious restrictions….but it seems something is going on. I am trying to get to the root of this and confirm.

MZ: Can you imagine taking home $5.35 and $5.40 on exchanging dong. And this is after fees and the spread. So I will be tracking that story and hope to have verification by Monday. That one got me excited

Member: $5.35 or $5.40 on dong? wow! So dinar would be stellar!

Member:  Next week should be interesting with silver markets.

Member: A $15.7B Silver Whale Just Entered the Market — U.S. Banks Trigger Emergency Risk Alerts

MZ: There was about a 50 million silver ounce short or paper that was bought and sold cheap. I wonder if they are going to buy the paper ounces and then demand delivery. Silver right now for physical is running about $80-$90 dollars right now. That could be game over. We also had a brand new buyer in the silver market who just dropped $15.7 billion for physical silver. So we are looking at a very interesting week coming up.

MZ: Iran, Venezuela and silver all happening at the same time.

Member: Sounds like they’ve started the countdown for launch. Happy New Year! The Best is Yet to Come!

Member: Hope everyone has a great weekend….maybe this is our last weekend broke!!!

The hosts advocate for a return to home gardening, permaculture, and local food production as ways to mitigate inflation and supply chain challenges. They emphasize the importance of self-sufficiency and the potential benefits of integrating traditional medicinal herbs into modern health practices.

The overall tone balances optimism about emerging positive changes with cautious awareness of complex global dynamics.

Key Insights

[06:40] Iran’s Unique Crisis Amidst Currency Collapse: Unlike previous protests, the current unrest in Iran is compounded by a severe currency devaluation, potentially signaling a more lasting regime challenge. The simultaneous political and economic pressures could force a transformation in Iran’s governance, especially if external powers like Russia intervene militarily or politically to maintain the status quo. This is a rare confluence of internal dissent and financial instability.

[49:00] Strategic Oil Market M**********n as a Geopolitical Tool: The U.S. strategy to reduce revenue streams for hostile regimes by targeting their oil exports reflects a multifaceted approach to weaken adversaries economically while boosting domestic energy independence through manufacturing and agriculture. This approach acknowledges shifting global power dynamics and the importance of diversified economic bases beyond fossil fuels.
