Common knowledge has long been that he who controls the money controls the world.
Personally, I think that there will come a time that one of the money systems will win over all the rest. However, because all the money systems are designed to more-or-less enslave people, they all will ultimately fail... even the one that wins over the others.
Notice that Bitcoin and the altcoins have become controlled. They seem to be moving together with gold and silver in general. Time to develop a cryptocurrency that cannot be controlled by anything other than supply and demand... the supply and demand of moving products and services, not the supply and demand of investing for investment purposes. Once this happens (if it happens), the world financial systems will fail.
"Have become controlled", you really seem not have any idea on how markets work. BTC has become another asset, it is not controlled, it has become mainstream among investors like any other asset. But of course you have to see yet another "conspiracy"... like in the past people thought that the gods ruled their lives because they did not understand nature.
Whoever controls the money has a bigger say, but you can ask Luis XVI if he was "in control" despite controlling the money. I mean, you could, he was decapitated.
EDITED 6/6/2023: The RF psychos have destroyed a dam on the Dnipro. I guess the RF liberation army could potentially do the same in Russia - same rules for everyone. Before anyone says something silly, the way the dam has been damaged is enough to sink the islands in the delta, but not to flood the Russian occupied areas.
