The estimation of %%$840 billion to $1.23 trillion profit per year%% made by the **Western Financial Aristocracy** utilizing the U.S. dollar’s reserve currency status is based on the calculation of the following wealth extraction methods:

1. **Seigniorage**: Profits from issuing the world’s reserve currency.

◦ Calculation:

▪ U.S. dollar constitutes 59% global foreign exchange reserves (IMF, 2023) roughly $7 trillion of the $11.9 trillion total (IMF COFER, Q3 2023).

▪ Economist Barry Eichengreen estimates the U.S. earns $100 billion annually from this "exorbitant privilege" due to lower borrowing costs and demand for dollar notes.

▪ Unknown factor X1. How much does the financial aristocracy benefit from this? It will be very roughly estimated with 40-80%

◦ Profit: $40-80 billion/year

2. **Inflation Exports**: Wealth transfer from dollar-dependent nations as U.S. monetary policy devalues their reserves.

◦ Calculation:

▪ Global inflation at 8.8% in 2022 (World Bank).

▪ Dollar-holding nations lose purchasing power as their reserves devalue. If 5% of the $7 trillion in dollar reserves eroded in real value in 2022 (a conservative inflation differential), that’s a $350 billion loss to holders.

▪ If Financial Aristocrayc (via asset appreciation) capture half this loss as a wealth transfer (e.g., through stronger dollar assets), that’s ~$175 billion/year during high-inflation periods. Averaged over a decade (milder inflation most years), say $50-100 billion annually.

◦ Profit: $50-100 billion

3. **QE Asset Inflation**: Gains for asset holders (“Financial Aristocracy”) from central bank bond-buying.

◦ Calculation:

▪ Fed QE since 2008 ($8 trillion total) boosted U.S. stock markets (S&amp;P 500 up 300% since 2009). The top 1% own 53% of U.S. stocks (Fed, 2023), and BlackRock/Vanguard hold stakes worth trillions

▪ If QE added $10 trillion to U.S. asset values over 15 years (a rough estimate from market cap growth), annualized gains are ~$667 billion. If the top 1% (overlapping with the aristocracy) claim 50% of this, that’s $333 billion/year. Globally, similar effects might double this to $500-700 billion/year for Western elites.

◦ Profit: $500-700 billion/year

4. **Debt Servicing**: Interest payments from global borrowers to Western creditors.

◦ Calculation:

▪ Developing nations owe $11 trillion in external debt (World Bank, 2023), with ~50% ($5.5 trillion) to Western creditors (banks, bondholders). Interest rates averaging 4-6% (e.g., IMF loans, Eurobonds) yield $220-330 billion/year.

▪ If 70% goes to Western financial institutions tied to the aristocracy (e.g., via bond ownership), that’s $150-230 billion/year. Add U.S. bank profits from domestic debt ($100 billion/year, Fed data), and it’s $250-350 billion total.

◦ Profit: $250-350 billion/year

on Hello, World: Introducing soj.ooO in sojooo

**Can soj.ooO survive?**

It should be obvious to our community, that attempts will be made to shut this platform down. And we ain’t doing the creators any favors by lulling them into a false sense of security.

soj.ooO has HUGE potential! I love it already. The original concept of Pochas. The innovative principle of natural memory.

I dare to claim that with Matt Kim and Peter Saddington as trusted and competent leaders soj.ooO could grow into a major platform within 3-5 years. But as soon as this platform growths a coalition of governments, tech giants and NGOs (e.g., ADL, SPLC) will form to take them down. It’s really just a matter of time.

And as a user - before considering to invest a considerable amount of time to create high quality content - one needs to feel a sense of security that soj.ooO won’t be easily deplatformed.

ADL reports will be issued. Will this lead to stricter moderation? Is AWS used as infrastrucutre, that can be simply cut off as it happened to Parler in 2021?

**The community’s trust can only be gained by transparency not blind trust in the creators.**

To build this sense of security and potentially help the creators prepare for the incoming attacks, following a first overview of tactics, that have been used so far to ban or censor social media platforms. It will be of vital importance that counter-tactics are in place and their implementation proven through transparency.

This issue has to become a constantly iterated point of discussion in order to maximize the platforms probability of survival.

**Tactics** used so far to ban or censor social media platforms:

• ‘Public Smear Campaigns’: Label platforms as hate hubs to justify moderation

◦ Examples: 4chan (ADL reports); Gab (media blitz, 2018).

◦ Counter-Tactic: ?

• ‘Legal Threats’: Use hate speech or security laws to force bans or compliance

◦ Examples: TikTok (U.S. ban attempt, 2025); Rumble (France, 2022).

◦ Counter-Tactic:

▪ Jurisdictional evasion by basing operations in privacy-friendly countries (e.g., Iceland)?!

▪ Frame platform as protocol, not a company, like BitTorrent, making it harder to target legally?!

• ‘Advertiser Pressure’: Starve revenue by demonizing content

◦ Examples: Rumble (boycotts, 2023); X (post-Musk pullbacks, 2023).

◦ Counter-Tactic: How to reach Revenue independence?!

▪ Gab pivoted to crypto post-2018 when advertisers fled.

• ‘Deplatforming via Infrastructure’: Cut off hosting, payment, or app access

◦ Examples: Gab (PayPal, 2018); Parler (AWS, 2021).

◦ Counter-Tactic: Decentralized infrastructure and self-hosting?!

• ‘Terrorism Linkage’: Tie platforms to extremist acts for public outrage and legal leverage

◦ Examples: 4chan (Christchurch, 2019); Gab (Pittsburgh, 2018); Parler (Capitol riot, 2021).

◦ Counter-Tactic: ?
