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
Put the cash next to the shotguns
Now imagine if she had invested that money in something indexed to inflation...

another example of the reverse Tinkerbell effect is how the very first stall in a public restroom is the cleanest because everyone thinks that that's the one everyone uses and so therefore must be the dirtiest so then they use the middle one and as a result no one ever uses the first stall
but what if there’s gonna be a lot of people that follow this logic and the first stall is going to be used the most?

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.

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! (I think I may have used a few too many exclamation points throughout this comment but that was how it felt so I guess I will leave them be!!!

So the U.S. national debt is nearly 4 times the amount of physical currency in the world? Jesus...
Was thinking the same thing, how do you actually do that?
@Google made me do it That 'fractional reserve banking' can't help the situation. It's meant to help but as I see it, is doing more to destroy the economy than to help it. Not sure who imagined it would be a great idea.
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. And so, over time, all that cash has gotten bigger than they'll ever be able to pay off, due to interest, unless they do something drastic like spending their annual GDP on nothing but paying it off for decades, which is never gonna happen.
Castor fractional reserve banking has nothing to do with debt

I am an economist. Watched quite a good amount of your videos. What you say in all of your videos independent of content is amazing. You convey knowledge of physics, psychology and many other scientific fields in such a matter where I, a typical person, understand.

Lucas Meyer ikr, is text language for "i know right"
Lucas Meyer ikr, ppl should type out words completely.
Lucas Meyer people don't use text language because they don't "Pay attention in school" they use it because it saves time. but i see where you are coming from, the English language may become a twisted mess of acronym's if people get used to using all the time. (as long as people don't use acronym's in a face to face conversation i'm happy)
Truvrin oops, you should be quite sad right about now if that's the case.

So there's not even enough cash in the entire world to get America out of debt, that's... depressing

plus america will just force othwr countries to pay them after wars

Belief is key to everything we do in life. Everything we do in life comes with planning its People die out of ignorance and suffer much societal problems. People need insight to see that health is wealth. the cost of living is expensive and people need a passive income to go by this every issues .
I agree with you Gilbert. Positivity is basically what draws the good.

*So in the lottery* You have a chance to win, but the more people tune in, the probability for you to win is getting lesser.

@@ions2 the odds are the same per number but the less people that enter the more rerolls they'll do. He's right.
The probability of you winning is the same. The more people play, despite the greater income from ticket sales, the win is likely to be worth less because it is divided by more winning tickets.

I can see the effect of you all watching vsause in this reply section No one is on point , I mean he just meant to brun a amount of money of someone else so his money will value more For example : a person has 1000$ burned, it means that the value of $ will rise as it is now is lesser than it was before.

Moral of the story... money is worth nothing, it's just paper and "we all" agreed it has value. So we work for some paper to have actual food and else and maybe do some war for the sake of it. Money is a game. Should we still play or should we quit it?
Moral of the story... 5000 $1 bills could mean you have a nice line of cocaine. A very, very expensive line of cocaine. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
well yeah FIAT money is an illusion. But I would rather work as a nurse in my hospital for the fiat money than go spear chucking for my dinner. Or go and find the plants to cure my nasal congestion than use the money to get it already made
Alright.And when we quit,what then? Then we would live just like in medieval ages ( trading two sheeps for 5 chickens) If not so,then it will lead to chaos,becouse in the store you just come in and take everything.Which results in an empty stores.If not so,then how so?
***** Fine.In medieval one i failed (there was money at that time). And what are you going to say know eh? Still oyu are using offtopics as an excuse.Well,you will never run off.
jones marks you are using the sheep as a form of currency.
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.

Michael said himself in a TED talk that he does it on pourpouse. He starts off with an absurd or dumb question and then teaches his viewers pretty cool stuff
