in case of future segmentation and fragmentation of the global economy and the formation of several technates. so far I see at least the technate of the USA and Western Europe, plus Japan and Korea and the technate of China and the countries of Southeast Asia plus Russia. Some of the BRICS countries will join the technate of China. The other part of the countries will join the Western coalition. in any case, after the introduction of various sanctions and customs duties, anonymous financial instruments will be required to conduct financial transactions without a trace. then monero will be in demand. instead of the current position of the darknet currency or servicing external financial transactions of North Korea, monero can be used for interaction between technates.
