I just read a fact that left me thinking: how much money is really in the world? It’s not as simple a question as it seems.
If we add everything up, we’re talking about approximately 37 trillion dollars circulating in some form. This includes everything from the cash you carry in your pocket to deposits in bank accounts. But the interesting part is that most of that money isn’t even physical.
If we only consider tangible coins and bills, we’re talking about around 6.6 trillion dollars. The rest? It’s in digital systems, investments, derivatives. It’s almost as if real money is only the tip of the iceberg.
And here’s what’s got me thinking: while the amount of money in the world remains an astronomical figure, cryptocurrencies already surpass 1.2 trillion dollars. Bitcoin and the rest of the crypto ecosystem are occupying an increasingly significant space in that global pie.
The question I ask myself is: what is our part in all of this? Because honestly, when you see these numbers, you realize that the potential for crypto adoption is still huge. We are still in very early stages if you look at it from the perspective of how much money in the world is available to migrate into digital assets.
That’s what’s been making me watch the market movements lately. 🫣
