“It took them a Long Time” – Coffee with MarkZ Intel Stream Highlights 4-21-25

Summary:

As we move through the third week of April 2026, the energy within the global currency community is reaching a fever pitch. The latest “Tuesday Coffee” session with MarkZ provided a wealth of updates, ranging from bond funding timelines to significant structural shifts within Iraq. While Mark always reminds his audience that his insights are opinions and that professional financial advice should always be sought, the data points shared this week suggest a landscape that is shifting rapidly.

One of the most anticipated segments of the call centered on the status of bond holders. According to Mark’s latest conversations with contacts in the bond sector, there is a strong expectation for full funding to manifest by the middle of this week. Specifically, Wednesday has been highlighted as the likely “day of movement.” While the community has learned the value of patience, the anticipation for this particular window remains high, as bond liquidity is often viewed as the precursor to the broader revaluation (RV) event.

The political climate in Iraq is also seeing a dramatic clearing of the path. Mark discussed reports of behind-the-scenes meetings aimed at finalizing the Prime Minister’s file. Key developments include the confirmed withdrawal of Maliki and Abadi from the process, simplifying the leadership transition. With nine out of twelve leaders casting votes and an official announcement of the Prime Minister candidate expected on Wednesday, the political “stuckness” that has long plagued the region appears to be dissolving. Many members believe that once the PM is officially seated and the HCL (Hydrocarbon Law) follows, the timeline for the Dinar’s value adjustment will be significantly accelerated.

Logistically, Iraq is making moves that suggest a major transition is underway. Mark highlighted that Iraq has reportedly not received any US dollar transfers for the last 72 hours, signaling a possible end to “business as usual” regarding foreign currency reliance. Most notably, a new mandate requires that all real estate transactions—both rentals and purchases—now be conducted exclusively in Iraqi Dinar. This move away from the US dollar is a massive step toward monetary sovereignty and is a development that analysts have been waiting to see for years.

Adding context to the long wait, Mark referenced a compelling piece by Reset Intelligence titled “Iraq Has Been Ready for 20 Years,” which cites David E. Atherton’s book, Head of the Snake. The article argues that while Iraq has possessed the economic foundation for a revaluation for two decades, external geopolitical forces and “D--------e” entities used the country as a funnel for laundering funds. The current process suggests those barriers are finally being dismantled, allowing Iraq to move forward with the revaluation it has long been prepared for.

Finally, the discussion touched on historical precedents, specifically the Kuwaiti revaluation of 1991. Mark clarified the mechanics of that event—where Kuwait devalued the old currency, printed new notes, and then revalued—drawing parallels to the expectations for Iraq. As we look toward the remainder of the week, the community remains focused on the “Wednesday window,” hoping that the combination of bond funding and Iraqi political clarity will finally push the long-awaited financial shift across the finish line.

Tuesday Coffee with MarkZ  04/21/2026

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: Happy Tuesday Morning….Seems like lots of things happening right now

Member: Praying we see some RV movement soon. I’m so tired of my family and friends thinking we’re crazy. Lol

Member: Any bond news Mark?

MZ: I spoke to a couple of bond holders and they say they get their full funding this week. They told them not to expect it until the middle of the week…..most likely Wednesday. Cross your fingers and hope.

Member: Still waiting for news that the Clarity act has passed

Member: Mark are we getting off stuck in terms of the PM being sat?

MZ: On Tuesday articles say there were behind the scenes meetings to confirm the Prime Ministers file. Confirming the withdrawal of Maliki and Abadi.  The vote took place with 9 leaders out of 12. Sudani abstained form the vote. Tomorrow they will announce the official candidate for Prime Minister.

Member: If bonds are paid tomorrow and Sudani is official pm… hcl will follow closely behind. …our time might be very near.

MZ: Been some big happenings in Iraq: “Iraq has not received any dollar transfers for the last 72 hours”  The US is tired of them playing games.

MZ: Cliff notes from articles. In Iraq now- you can only pay for real estate whether you are renting or buying with Iraqi Dinar. They can no longer use the US dollar. It has to be in dinar. This is huge. We were told they would do this. It took them a long time.

MZ: There was a real good piece out “ Iraq has been ready for 20 years”  by Reset Intelligence over at Dinar Recaps. Its from a book titled “Head of the Snake- the hidden architecture of Iran: Wealth Extraction and Global Control”  by David E. Attherton.

MZ: It talks about how Iraq has been ready for a long time. But they have not been allowed to because the D--------e has using them to funnel and launder funds through Iran. The author makes a very compelling case how Iraq may revalue in this process going on right now. Very interesting article.

Member: When did Kuwait RV?

Member: Kuwait went Sunday March 24, 1991…some people say Kuwait did not revalue their currency?

MZ: In Kuwait they devalued the old currency….printed new currency and then revalued it. Just like Iraq is expected to do. The devalued the old S----m Hussein notes and printed the notes we all hold.

Member: Other gurus said 4-20 was going to be big.

MZ: My bond contacts think the week of the 20th will be big……we will wait and see….

Member: Thanks everyone. Have a terrific Tuesday and see you tomorrow.

Key Insights

[16:49] Iraq’s Political Realignment and Currency Sovereignty: The video highlights a critical phase in Iraq’s government formation with a majority coalition moving to appoint a new prime minister, indicating weakening influence of minority factions. More importantly, Iraq’s decision to mandate use of the Iraqi dinar for real estate transactions signals a strategic step to reclaim monetary sovereignty and reduce reliance on the US dollar. This move could prelude a currency revaluation, impacting regional economic stability and signaling a broader shift in global currency dynamics away from US hegemony.

[27:33] Cryptocurrency vs. Traditional Currency Systems: The video touches on the ongoing debate between decentralized cryptocurrencies and government-backed digital currencies (CBDCs). Governments’ push for CBDCs represents an attempt to retain financial control in the face of blockchain technologies that empower individual financial autonomy. The battle for control over monetary systems reflects broader themes of power, surveillance, and the democratization of finance.

[40:32] Demographic Decline and Economic Implications: The discussion on the US and global population decline is a critical socioeconomic insight. As birth rates drop below replacement levels, nations face shrinking workforces, threatening pension systems, healthcare, and economic growth. The host stresses the urgent need for societal emphasis on family formation and stable marriages to reverse this trend. The example of Europe and U-----e’s reliance on immigration highlights the complex interplay between demographics, labor markets, and national stability.

[01:00:44] Alternative Investments and Consumer Trends: The promotion of CBD products and copper coins reveals emerging consumer behaviors and investment interests amid economic uncertainty. Copper’s rising value, due to industrial demand and potential use as a monetary substitute, parallels historical patterns where metals served as currency. The interest in tangible assets like coins and health products suggests a hedge against financial volatility and a shift towards wellness and practical collectible value.
