The Post-Petrodollar Blueprint: America’s 15-Year Timeline to Collapse ...

On March 15th, 2023, a quiet decision in Riyadh triggered the most important shift in global finance in half a century. In this Money History episode, we explain why Saudi Arabia’s move to accept yuan for oil did not simply weaken the dollar — it marked the structural end of the Petrodollar system. Through the lens of Money History, this documentary traces how the dollar became the world’s reserve currency, how the Petrodollar created artificial demand for U.S. debt, and why that system is now entering the most dangerous phase of its lifecycle. Reserve currencies do not collapse from war first — they collapse when trust, neutrality, and monopoly break. This Money History breakdown connects historical patterns from Portugal, the Netherlands, and Britain to the modern U.S. dollar, revealing an eight-stage collapse cycle that has repeated for over five centuries. The dollar is no exception. It is simply following the same mathematical timeline. In this Money History case study, we examine how sanctions, reserve seizures, and currency weaponization accelerated de-dollarization instead of preventing it. When neutrality is lost, central banks diversify, gold replaces trust, and parallel payment systems quietly emerge. This Money History investigation shows why the world is now entering Stage Six of the reserve currency collapse pattern — a phase defined by critical mass, rapid network shifts, and irreversible loss of dominance. The Petrodollar is no longer declining. It is already finished. What comes next is a global repricing that will reshape trade, debt, and living standards for decades. 📢 Subscribe to the channel :    / @financialmoneyhistory
