The other day, I started thinking about how much money there is in the world, and the numbers that came up are really interesting. Officially, there is about $37 trillion in circulation — including all physical cash and bank accounts. But that’s not the most interesting part.



When you look at investment instruments, derivatives, and the cryptocurrency world, the numbers are much larger. These areas alone exceed $1.2 quadrillion. So, if we only consider physical money, it’s around $6.6 trillion, but when we add bank deposits and liquid assets, it reaches dozens of trillions.

With so much money in the world, I wonder how much of it actually stays in our pockets? 🫣 The crypto market and assets like Bitcoin exist precisely for those who are looking for answers to this question. We are exploring ways to store value that is lost within the traditional monetary system in different forms. That’s also why Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are gaining so much attention — with so much money in the world, it’s essential to find ways to protect our own assets.
