I've always wondered how much money there is in the world, and the numbers I've found are quite interesting. We're talking about around 37 trillion dollars if we include physical cash and bank account balances. But the figure becomes truly mind-blowing when you consider everything else: investments, derivatives, cryptocurrencies. That's when we reach nearly 1.2 quadrillion dollars. It's almost impossible to visualize mentally.
If you want to narrow the focus to just actual cash — coins and physical banknotes — we're around 6.6 trillion. Still an enormous amount. But when you broaden the perspective to include bank deposits and all liquid assets, the numbers go even higher, reaching tens of trillions.
Here's where the interesting point comes in: if the total money in the world is this monstrous figure, what part do we actually own? It's a question I often ask myself, especially when I look at Bitcoin and digital assets as a possible diversification. The global money supply continues to grow, and the way money is distributed and stored is changing. It's worth thinking about.
