Recently, I started researching how much money is actually in the world, and the numbers are quite revealing.

Many say that Bitcoin has no room to grow because "there's no money," but when you see the total figures, you realize that's a weak argument. Let's see: physical cash (bills and coins) in circulation amounts to around 9 trillion dollars. It sounds like a lot, but it's just the tip of the iceberg.

The interesting part is the money you don't see. In bank accounts and deposits, there are approximately 100 to 150 trillion dollars. When you add all this—cash plus deposits—the real money in the world is around 150 trillion dollars. That's where it gets fascinating: how much money exists in the world is concentrated in very few hands.

The United States controls almost 62 trillion of those 150 trillion. China follows with about 16 trillion, and Japan is third with 6.5 trillion. The difference is enormous. When you see these numbers, you quickly understand who pulls the strings in the global economy.

Now, if we compare this to the total financial assets (stocks, bonds, derivatives), we're talking about more than a quintillion dollars. But that's no longer real money; it's valuations, expectations. Tangible money remains those 150 trillion.

So the question is: if all this money is circulating, why can't Bitcoin keep growing? The answer is obvious. The problem isn't the lack of money, but where that money goes and who decides where it flows. That is the real game.
