It is true that some countries, including India, Iran, and some Eastern powers, are buying gold as a way to diversify their reserves and reduce their dependence on the US dollar. It is also true that the US dollar has been losing value over time, due in part to the large amounts of money the US government has printed to finance its deficit spending.
As for the claim that the US inflation rate would be much higher if other countries weren't absorbing some of the inflation, it is difficult to verify this claim without further context and evidence.
Regarding the suggestion that we are in the midst of an economic World War III, this is a controversial claim that is not widely accepted by mainstream economists. It is true, however, that there are ongoing economic tensions between the East and West, particularly with regard to trade and currency exchange rates.
As for the impact of these developments on Bitcoin and the outlook for 2023, it is difficult to predict with certainty. Bitcoin is a highly volatile asset, and its price is influenced by many factors, including economic and geopolitical developments. As for the broader economic outlook for 2023, it will depend on a variety of factors, including global economic growth, inflation rates, and geopolitical tensions.
So it sounds like some countries are looking to diversify their reserves and become less dependent on the US dollar by buying gold. And while some believe we are in the midst of a World War III economy, that's not the mainstream view.
Of course there are tensions between East and West in terms of trade and currency exchange rates. And as for the prospects for Bitcoin in 2023, no one can guess – it is a volatile asset that is influenced by many factors and the outlook for the economy this year will depend on a variety of factors, such as global growth, inflation and geopolitical tensions.
