Have you ever wondered how much money there really is in the world?
It's a question that sounds simple, but the answer makes you think quite a bit.
Look, the reality is that the physical cash in circulation (bills and coins) amounts to about 9 trillion dollars.
It sounds like a lot, but when you compare it to the total money in bank accounts and deposits, it's just a fraction.
The actual money in accounts (simple deposits and large investment funds) reaches approximately 150 trillion dollars.
That’s where the true monetary mass is.
Now, here’s the interesting part.
If you analyze how much money there is in the world by country, the distribution is brutally unequal.
The United States dominates with nearly 62 trillion dollars, meaning almost half of the global money.
China follows with around 16 trillion, and Japan closes the podium with 6.5 trillion.
Just these three countries hold most of the world’s purchasing power.
This is important because many say there isn’t enough money for Bitcoin to keep growing.
But the reality is that when you see these figures, you understand that the money exists, it’s there.
The problem isn’t the lack of money, but where it flows and who controls it.
All global financial assets (stocks, bonds, derivatives) exceed one quintillion dollars, but that’s no longer real money; it’s just paper valuations.
So next time someone says there’s no money in the market, remember these numbers.
The money is there, distributed in very specific ways, and understanding this is key to seeing where the market is headed.
