Couple of hours ago there is in news on Twitter saying BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) are developing a new currency. It was mentioned by State Duma Deputy Chairmen btw.

As I can see all these things to manipulate BTC right? What are your thoughts about this?

The BRICS countries couldn't care less about manipulating Bitcoin. How did you come up with this weird theory?
They simply want to dump the US dollar completely. I doubt that their attempt at creating an alternative global currency would be successful.
Using their own national currencies instead of the US dollar would be a way more successful approach.

It's very easy to check my version. Let's compare the economy of the USA + the West, and the economy of the group of these "lucky ones"? And especially in the context of today's goals of creating BRICS. Let's make it even simpler, imagine and simulate 2 situations:
- the United States and the collective West, with their economies, will disappear. What is happening on Earth?
- BRICS is disappearing - what is happening on Earth?

The economy of the so called "west" is artificially pumped by the money printing machines. BRICS countries have a big enough population and natural resources to survive without the "west". Can the "west" survive without the BRICS countries? Most likely yes, but at the cost of lowering the standard of living of the western middle class.

I wouldn't put it past them. The only country to worry about in "BRICS" would be China. India's economy is not yet large enough and they're more democratized than the CCP. China's looking to form dependence on Yuan by other countries -- does it seem so wildly speculative that China predicts Bitcoin to be a future threat? Do not think short term -- think 10-20 years down the line. Could there reasonably be a world in which countries use decentralized currencies to conduct bilateral trades/transactions that would cause China some concern if their long term goal is Yuan dependence onto other countries?
