What does he say this achieves? What is his endgame with respect to the devaluation?

apparently abolishing the central bank and switching to the dollar

So having US cemtral bank controlling the own currency.

Very well tgought through

If they dump their currency and use USD, then as long as there arnough dollars around it solves inflation right? (Their economy is a blip to the Goliath that is USD)

But if that's the case, then their currency is useless as everyone knows if will have zero value at all in a few months/years.

It does mean they can't print money to get out of trouble though.... Not that that was going well for them before.
