thank you very much for your compliment and your response and i am really appreciated it. what you said about " frustration " were right. they are frustrated may be because of devaluation. devaluation makes all imported goods in the grocery stores very expensive on one side. and the other side is they devaluate on purpose in order to suck all the dinars in both from all iraqi citizens who have been hiding their dinar under the mattress and also from dinar investors out of iraq before they want to announce the rv. i could be wrong though. hopefully, i am wrong. because i also want this iqd to rv as desperate as possible because we have already been waiting for more than 17 years.. as adam said we could hear the rv this year 2021, and hopefully, this rv will come to fruition in 2021. and not next year 2022. i amn"t quitting my job yet until the rv comes. hang in there and keep hope alive and a positive thinking folks.
