I was curious, how much money is there in the world really? While researching, I came across some interesting figures. Including physical cash and bank account deposits, approximately $37 trillion is in circulation worldwide. But the interesting part is, when you add financial assets like investment instruments, derivatives, and cryptocurrencies, this number exceeds 1.2 quadrillion dollars. If only coins and banknotes are counted, the total value remains around $6.6 trillion. Looking at a broader scope with bank deposits included, the money supply is expressed in tens of trillions. So, the answer to how much money there is in the world depends on how you measure it. Physical cash, liquid assets, or all financial instruments? Each gives a different figure. But the real question should be: what portion of this money is ours? 🫣 In the crypto world, these discussions are always interesting, especially when considering assets like Bitcoin with a limited supply. While money creation in the fiat system can be unlimited, Bitcoin's supply is fixed. What does this difference mean in the long run? Remembering the future, perhaps we need to answer this simple question.
