God, the whole “money lying around the house” bit in the first couple minutes reminded me of my great great grandma Emma Muilenburg (née Collison) who had a couple thousand (I think) stashed away in various places about her house. It wasn’t uncommon for people to distrust banks with their money back then (she lived from 1903 to 1988). After she passed away and her kids went through her belongings in her house, they found enough money to pay for a her funeral, and even then, there was enough money to split between all three of her kids. It’s just crazy lol

My mother always tend to bring up stories how my grand grandfather once have found a bucket of golden coins buried under tree near his fields. Although he had some gold he couldn't swap it for any goods because of war that plagued country so even though he technically was pretty rich he couldn't do a thing with the money and after all he buried it himself under the stove threshold in local bakery which he hadn't told anyone including his own wife or daughter. Finally my grand grandma allowed some fortune seekers to search for it for some money. That's a tale about how money even in the most stable currency sometimes can be worthless.

[@genjitsu7448]

Hi Michael, I am going back through a bunch of your videos and I have to tell you your collection of videos is simply awesome! Some of the best content available here on YT. Your presentation style, topics, flow of dialogue, etc... are all great. However the one thing that I am getting is a strong sense of nostalgia, I mean a really big wave of it! The music in the background is so important and it sets the fingerprint and the tone/mood of the videos with such a strong impact that when certain songs are played it is like the nostalgia volume knob gets cranked to 11! And if that is not fun enough my son saw me here and commented on how he remembers watching these videos together - one could not ask for more that this. your content has been part of the fabric of the past decade for me and my sons! A part that makes all of us smile! Thanks for making such entertaining, high quality content!

Well, they give themselves a yearly budget for what the government is gonna fund, and for decades now they have always exceeded that budget by millions or even billions every year and borrowed that amount from.... somewhere.

It's only about understanding the market and that the demand for bitcoin will rise. Of course gold is less risky, but bitcoin can potentially earn much more on investment but yes it has more risk. It is however very unlikely that bitcoin will crash and die all of a suddenly, it's only just started growing.

[@Tana1499]

I know its been 7 years, but technically Michael makes a mistake at 3:28. When the central bank wants to increase money supply, they buy government bonds from a NON-BANK counterparty. That way, whoever they buy the bonds from will deposit money at a bank, hey-presto, more money. If the counterparty is a bank you run the risk that they are recapitalising after a financial crisis (i.e. exactly what happened after 2008), thus any money you create will go to the banks' capital and won't affect money supply.

He did when he was talking about how much money exists. If you’re looking for philosophy in modern economics, you’re looking in the wrong place. The philosophy is just “the system exists to benefit the rich and those in power oh and also if you do the things we do you’ll get sent to prison”.
