George Soros does not see what the alternative to the dollar is right now. Yes, the Chinese are making noises about moving away from the dollar. But, this is a long-term strategy. Over the short-term, the Chinese still have trillions of dollar assets. What alternatives to the dollar are there?

According to the Forbes Rich List, George Soros is now the 28th most wealthy man in the World.
However Soros would not be a multi-billionaire if it were not for the international language Esperanto.
Born in Hungary in 1930 as Gyorgy Schwartz, the family changed its name in 1936 to Soros, which in Esperanto means "to soar." The deliberate Esperanto name-change was an effort to protect the Jewish family from the rise of fascist rulers and the whole family spoke this language at home.
George Soros used Esperanto to defect to the West in 1946, by attending an Esperanto youth meeting in Ipswich, England.
Esperanto enabled Soros both to defect, and to become a multi-billionaire.

I had always suspected that Esperanto might be useful.
