TNT DINAR UPDATE 7-22-25
The Spaces provided a real-time update on the anticipated Iraq currency revaluation (RV) and practical guidance for the community. Tony (TNT Tony) outlined a volatile 48-hour sequence: multiple time windows (8:00 PM, 11:45 PM, and 2–6 AM), the Federal Reserve on high alert, and bank fairness windows when all U.S. banks are either open or closed (notably 3–5) to mitigate chaos. He reported a communications blackout in Iraq enforced by threat of jail, and a verified speech by PM Sudani in a mosque stating the Oil & Gas Law is approved, oil flows have resumed, market prices are being adjusted, and citizens will have new purchasing power “later today or tomorrow.” Tony stressed 800-number appointment logistics, potential Forex controls (letting the rate rise to around $8 before pulling back), and that this process will be coordinated to avoid public disruption. The Q&A covered Canadian exchanges (call your bank), Venezuelan bolívar series (fuerte/soberano/digital—still bolívar), ZIM calculation examples, and handling of Zimbabwe agro‑checks. A significant segment focused on wealth stewardship: having a plan, living off interest, avoiding quick depletion, and preparing for a difficult August–October with rising costs. Ray supported clarifications and moderated Q&A.
TNT Special Call Summary (Tue, July 2020xx)
Participants and Roles
- Tony: Primary intel host, coordinates sources and synthesizes updates; fields most questions; emphasizes process control and member preparedness.
- Ray (RayRen98): Co-host/moderator; queues callers; clarifies currency details (notably Venezuela series).
- Callers: Community members (e.g., Bama Boy, Dennis, Kevin, Voice for Elder Care, etc.) asking intel, logistics, and currency questions.
Purpose and Context
- Tony scheduled this extra call because he was told a window for receiving “800 numbers” and going live might occur; he tries to time calls to avoid doing multiple in a day and to spare listeners the roller-coaster he experiences gathering intel.
- The session is recorded; Tony asks people to avoid texting/calling “are we having a call?”—if a call is scheduled, it will be posted.
The Last 48 Hours: Intel Timeline and Bank Windows (Tony’s account)
- Sunday evening: Tony expected to receive 800 numbers and for banks to start exchanges Monday 8:00 a.m. He notes processes tend to occur when U.S. banks are closed; watched through Sunday night into Monday.
- Monday early a.m.: Tony says the Federal Reserve was on “high alert” (described internally as “Code Blue”), an unusual status indicating “something is about to happen.” Banks were on alert; Tony was told the public should see rate changes by 2:00 p.m. ET, appear on Forex, and that by 4:00 p.m. people would be in banks. None of this materialized.
- Monday night: New time slots discussed: 8:00 p.m., 11:45 p.m., and 2:00–6:00 a.m., intended to align with bank-open/close fairness. Still did not go.
- Tuesday morning: Unusually quiet (“crickets”). Tony says many contacts were silent due to a reported communication blackout with threats of jail for talking. Hoped the silence meant the process was executing.
- Midday Tuesday: Tony says they received confirmation of a speech in the mosque by PM Sudani; later, he says the UN side confirmed the content (see “Iraq Developments”). Baghdad time was ~11:29 p.m. when Tony updated; he assessed “likely tomorrow,” with remaining U.S. window “3–5” (context: window when all banks are either open or closed to maintain fairness). He hopes for an overnight or early morning start with rapid appointment scheduling.
Iraq Developments Cited (Tony’s intel; unverified by the hosts)
- Sudani’s mosque speech (per Tony, later echoed by a UN contact):
- Oil and Gas Law approved/agreed.
- Kurdistan-related payments proceeding; people are being paid.
- Pipeline open; oil flowing.
- Market prices are being adjusted (repricing) domestically.
- “Later today or tomorrow you will have new purchasing power.” Tony emphasizes it was not framed as “in days or weeks.”
- The speech is reportedly being replayed on television; Tony’s sources in Iraq said they were directed not to talk earlier (fear of jail), explaining the quiet.
- Domestic atmosphere: Tony says people were celebrating; market prices reportedly began changing already, with planned coordination so buyers at early hours wouldn’t feel penalized by later rate shifts.
- Regional/political backdrop (claims from Tony’s sources):
- Tensions involving Turkey renegotiating agreements; friction with stakeholders.
- Sabotage in Iraqi oilfields allegedly linked to Maliki’s people, attempting to delay progress.
- Reference to Sudani speaking with Rubio; Tony relays a claim that Trump was unhappy and set a “one more chance” tenor—these are presented by Tony as what he heard, not independently confirmed.
U.S. Process, Fairness, and “800 Numbers”
- Fairness windows: Tony repeatedly describes a desire by coordinators for go-time to occur when all banks are uniformly open or closed to avoid regional advantage; typical windows cited: 3–5 (U.S. hours when this criterion is met) and late-night slots.
- 800 numbers and appointments: Tony expects controlled dissemination to prevent public chaos (long lines and confusion). He favors scheduled appointments over an open free-for-all. He hopes if it’s overnight, the 800 numbers can be distributed before banks open so appointments can start immediately.
- Federal Reserve posture: Tony says the Fed is on “high alert” until this completes.
Rates, Forex, Caps, and Negotiation (Tony’s perspective)
- IQD: Tony reports hearing a potential initial rate in the high $3s (e.g., ~$3.87), while emphasizing the group’s goal is to access the highest rates available via negotiation.
- Forex behavior: He’s heard plans to let Forex ascend up to ~$8, possibly higher, then pull back; “stop gaps” may be used. He stresses he’s focused on negotiated rates at exchange centers rather than public Forex prints.
- Negotiated rates: Tony says he plans to ask for ~$28.50 and knows of negotiations around ~$12–$17 for all holdings instead of a top-tier figure; individuals must do their own math and decide what’s worthwhile.
- Double-dipping: Mentioned as a factor that could change controls; details not elaborated.
Other Currencies and Instruments
- ZIM (Zimbabwe):
- Tony mentions a rate shorthand as “point, six zeros, three-three” (i.e., ~0.00000033 USD per ZIM unit), illustrating that a 100 trillion note at 0.00000033 would equate to roughly $33 million. He frames this as “a lot” for many. Exact program parameters can vary; treat as indicative, not guaranteed.
- “Agro checks”: Tony says to bring them to the bank with everything else. He notes they’re not a circulating currency but implies banks will process them under program rules.
- Venezuela (Bolívar):
- Ray clarifies: “Bolívar” is the currency. Since 2008, there have been series: Bolívar Fuerte, Bolívar Soberano, and Bolívar “Digital” (redenominations). Regardless of series, it’s the Bolívar; exchange outcomes depend on conversion rules/rates. Series labels can confuse holders; banks should understand the lineage and calculate equivalent value.
- Canada: No new specifics for Canadian exchanges—advice is to call your bank directly.
Why Controlled Messaging and Tony’s Role
- Tony says agencies and stakeholders want a single, controlled channel to minimize chaos and misinformation. He’s “okay” being a conduit so the rollout proceeds in an orderly fashion (appointments, bank capacity, public optics). He stresses he doesn’t control timing; he relays what he’s told in real time.
- He acknowledges the information environment is curated by design; if “everyone knew everything,” it could cause instability. He cautions listeners to understand narrative management while remaining pragmatic.
Financial Readiness and Post-Exchange Planning (Tony’s emphasis)
- The real work begins after leaving the bank: develop a plan, invest prudently, avoid lifestyle inflation, and let money earn money. Many will only take this seriously once funds are in hand.
- Wealth preservation lessons:
- Lottery and pro-athlete cautionary tales: Rapid wealth can disappear quickly (e.g., athletes losing $300–$400 million; a star losing $10 million on a single deal—large buffers help them, but most won’t have that cushion).
- Living standards rise to income; without productive assets and yield, wealth diminishes. Aim to live off interest/returns.
- “$1–2 million is not lifelong money” if unmanaged—Tony says he’s personally seen how fast seven figures can vanish.
- Generational wealth: Tony frames his goals across 10 generations—prioritize structures that secure family futures if that aligns with your values.
- Near-term macro caution: He expects Aug–Oct (and year-end) to be difficult in the U.S.—higher costs and turbulence. “No pain, no gain”—be prepared for a multi-year transition.
Community Management and Outlook
- Tony is frustrated by misuse of his time (duplicate calls/texts). He will block abusers/trolls and asks members to rely on posted notices.
- A “new program” for deeper collaboration post-exchange will be very limited (Tony suggests likely under 1,000 participants, far short of the full community).
- He wants the rollout to occur “tomorrow,” partially in jest to avoid hearing Bama Boy’s birthday requests; overall tone: hopeful but realistic, acknowledging repeated delays.
Q&A Highlights
- Public reaction risk if delays continue: Tony hopes it’s moot; reports celebratory mood inside Iraq and price changes underway.
- Timeline if it fires: Aimed at windows when all banks are open/closed; if overnight, expect 800 numbers before opening; goal is people in banks within two hours of go-time. Watch phones early if not resolved before bedtime.
- UN involvement: Tony says the UN side was aware/involved in the process and used for verification of the mosque speech content.
- Rate positioning: While chatter includes $3–$4 and Forex caps around $8, Tony reiterates focus on negotiated rates (ask high; accept what meets your needs after doing the math).
Action Items for Listeners
- Do not ping hosts for call status; wait for posted notices.
- Prepare identification, documentation, and a prioritized plan for your exchange appointments.
- Post-exchange plan: Decide on liquidity needs, conservative yield targets, risk management, and staged deployment into opportunities (Tony mentions looking at a “seven-currency basket” and other vehicles, potentially including crypto like XRP—but urges diversification and prudence).
- Expect turbulence later this year; build reserves and avoid overcommitment.
Bottom Line
- Tony believes the process is “in motion,” citing Sudani’s mosque speech about imminent purchasing power and visible market repricing in Iraq, with U.S. banking windows orchestrated for fairness and the Fed on high alert. He cannot control timing or guarantee outcomes but is cautiously optimistic “tomorrow” is viable. The central message: be operationally ready, mentally calm, and financially disciplined for the moment the 800 numbers arrive—and even more so for the years after.
