$14 Billion
Bitcoin $14 Billion Market Cap in Jan 2017 | Asset Class: Cryptocurrency
Bitcoin is an independent digital currency (just as digital as the money numbers in your bank account). The difference is that YOU have the control over this number, not the
banks. Bitcoin is NOT controlled by any government or any bank. It works on the same idea as BitTorrent, but instead of broadcasting files, transactions are broadcast to
thousands of servers that check on each other to make sure the transactions are valid by means of advanced cryptographic algorithms. You also can run a Bitcoin node/server at
your home.
Bitcoin has become the fastest appreciating asset in human history. In November 2013 for a brief time, each Bitcoin was worth over a $1000 dollars, in contrast to 2010,
when the first Bitcoin transaction recorded was for two Pizzas at a price of 10,000 Bitcoins. Bitcoin's value has been extremely volatile since it's inception.
5% price fluctuations are very common, sometimes multiple times a day.
Bitcoins can be bought or created. Creating Bitcoins requires a computer to calculate and solve for a key, that releases the Bitcoins. At first it was easy and anyone could create
Bitcoins on a regular home computer, but the Bitcoin ecosystem automatically adjusts so only 12.5 Bitcoins (12.5 for now) are released every 10 minutes systemwide, no matter
how many computers are solving for the key. Today to make any serious money on mining Bitcoins, it requires specially designed onepurpose computers/servers in huge arrays,
like shown in visualization above.
Why Bitcoin? Bitcoin can not be created out of thin air, unlike Dollars and Euros. Bitcoin follows the laws of thermodynamics Bitcoin requires input (computer tech investment
and electricity) to create/mine Bitcoins, just like Gold requires equipment and fuel for mining/extraction. Bitcoin is finite, with only 21 million coins that will ever be created. Bitcoin
is deflationary versus Dollars and Euros that are inflationary. You have total control of your funds,you can transfer it globally near instantaneous speed with immutability
something neither Dollar, Gold or any other storage of wealth can offer. Long term outlook for Bitcoin is that it might do to Money what the Internet did to Communication.
Potential Risks: Bitcoin was created by the mysterious figure Satoshi Nakamoto (pseudonym), the identity of the creator is still argued to this day.
First there were fears Bitcoin's code can be cracked and the system can be destroyed, but 8 years later, such fears have subsided and price has rocketed. Now other roadblocks
face Bitcoin, such as scalability Bitcoin has a theoretical limit of 10 transactions/second, while Visa/Mastercard does ~2000/second. Scalability has turned into a heavy long
debate because NO single person can "upgrade" Bitcoin, there must be a systemwide consensus. While in the past getting consensus has worked well, with this specific
scalability issue the global Bitcoin community has failed to agree for some time now.
There are now many Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, still Bitcoin is most dominant. Bitcoin created an idea, but competing crypto currencies with better implementations could
possibly overtake Bitcoin in the future, just like Facebook overtook MySpace.

World's Richest People
Bill Gates, Carlos Slim and Warren Buffett are the richest people in the world, this is how their fortunes stack up in $100 bills.
Bill Gates and Warren are US citizens. Carlos Slim is a Mexican citizen, being a successful investor throughout his life, Carlos now runs multiple monopolies in Mexico.
If Bill Gates and Warren Buffet (US Citizens) both donated all their money to the US Government (at pay.gov) their collective wealth of 145.9 Billion would fund the US
Government for 13 Days, 7 Hours, 31 Minutes and 17 Seconds, or if all paid in lump sum. Bill and Warren together could decrease the US Debt by 0.7 percent.
If you are one of the so called "rich" and you were lucky enough to make a million dollars per year, it would take you almost 80,000 YEARS to catch up to Warren!
Data time: Dec 2014.
World's Biggest Companies
This shows the estimated value of the world's largest companies.
The value shown is their stock's "Market Capitalization", which is calculated as share price multiplied by total
number of shares. This number actually is abstract estimation of value and fluctuates greatly with bad or good
news published on a company. It is not uncommon for a 10% move in Stock Prices and Market Cap. This means
these towers of cash can sometimes fluctuate in height of 510 floors per day. Still the Market Cap is a rough
sense of their size and perceived value.

All Investment Gold & Silver in the World
Demonocacy.info has dedicated articles for all the Gold and all the Silver in the World.
This is short summary of the relatively small amount of gold and silver available in the world for
investment purposes.
The approximate value of all investment Gold in the World is $2.5 Trillion USD
at $40/gram or $1250/ounce.
There is significantly more silver in the world than gold, but because silver is multiples cheaper
than gold (less than $20/oz in 2017), a lot of silver has gotten lost throughout time. Silver is
also used in industrial production. The amount of investment silver available to the public is a
surprisingly small amount. World governments do not hold any significant silver reserves,
unlike with gold.

World Money Supply:
$28 Trillion in Base Money
$50 Trillion in Bank Money
This is how much money is on the planet. It is not all in physical cash though (as shown above), most of it is digital:
Base Money consists of money held by banks (received from their Central Banks when Banks sold Government or Corporate bonds to their Central Banks, the money is available
for lending to the private sector), money stored in bank's vaults (physical cash) and cash in people's hands. This money is not available at the ATM.
Bank Money consists of money stored in banks by corporations and people, available for withdrawal at any time.
Bank Money is also lent out by Banks to people and business'. Banks have a minimum reserve requirement (usually 10%) that they must keep on hand. If everyone decided to go
to the ATM and pull everything, there would be a run on the bank.

$58T Value of all Government Bonds in the World
$58 Trillion Value of All the Government Bonds (Debt) in the World
The world's citizens pay interest on this much money because of debts created by their country governments.
Government Bonds (debt) is considered an "asset class" because Bonds (tax payers) pay interest on the borrowed money.
The lender gets a certificate (The Bond a promise to pay $$$ back + interest) in return.
Usually Government Bonds are considered safe investments with little risk of nonpayment because Governments can write new laws (increase & create Involuntary Taxes) to
take the people's money by force (in heavy terms: legalized robbery). Another option of repayments that is NOT so favorable to investors/lenders is to have the Federal
Reserve "print" new money, this devalues the purchasing power of money through inflation and the investors gets back less than they put in. This is usually the method of
choice for governments.
Why so much Government Debt? Because politicians overpromise to the citizens what they can (NOT) deliver, they do so to win the election. Once Politicans win they borrow
money to pay for their promises in order to keep the promises. Often they borrow to enrich themselves and their crony partners in crime.

Corporate Bonds are similar to Government Bonds, but more risky. Many big companies carry far less risk
than lending money to individuals this fact lowers risk and drives down lending interest rates.
Big corporations can borrow money fairly cheap compared to private individuals.
Sometimes companies borrow money to buy back their stock and push stock value up, by so enriching the
investors while financially gutting the company.
Stocks can fluctuate greatly in value, because their value is more abstract the
value is determined by P/E (Price to Earnings) ratio and anticipated
stock dividend payments.

$290 Trillion Value of all Private Business' and Real Estate in the World
If you would want to buy the entire world, this is how much money you would need.
$180 Trillion is for Real Estate
$100 Trillion is for Registered Private Business
$10 Trillion is for Extralegal entities.
This specific pile of money is enabled by private ownership and private enterprise through Capitalism.
Democratic Capitalism is considered to be the worst economic system before taking a look at the alternatives.
Democratic Capitalism was promoted by the Founding Fathers of USA. Some call the Founders Heroes,
meanwhile some call them "Slave owners who did not want to pay taxes to the UK". Choice is yours.
Corporate Capitalism is considered to be the dominant system in United States currently.
Communist government would seize control of all this money (Business and Real Estate)
on the basis that the government knows better than you where to invest your savings,
and the government would run all business and own all real estate.
The road to hell is always paved with good intentions.
A fool who thinks he knows is much more dangerous
than a fool that knows he knows nothing.

$1 Quadrillion Value of all Derivatives in the World
This shows the total notional value of all the Derivatives in the World (Casino style bets in contract form, made by banks).
Derivatives are a dangerous mess. They are imaginary but yet very real. Derivatives are casino style bets on value of whatever they choose to bet
on, in contract form, made by banks, overseen by no one (because no one clearly understands the intertwined web & mess of Derivatives).
Pick "something" of value, make bets on the future value of "something", add contract & you have a derivative. Banks make massive profits on
derivatives, and when the bubble bursts chances are the taxpayer will end up with the bill. This visualizes the total coverage for derivatives
(notional). Similar to insurance company's total coverage for all cars (does not mean all insurance on all cars will be paid out simultaneously).
Sometimes Banks make selfcancelling Derivative contracts. Example: 2x Banks enter 2x Contracts:
Contract1 = Bank1 pays $10M to Bank2 if price goes up
Contract2 = Bank2 pays $10M to Bank1 if price goes up.
This 1000x and then they go brag to each other about the size of their derivative portfolio.
No one can really track who owes what to whom in Derivatives, it's a vast confusing mess, but an
unannounced event such as Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen suddenly raising interest rate to 5% would
very likely implode the entire Derivative System and the Banks along with that, because cascading
domino effect and some bank likely would have a bad hand on Derivative bets and go bankrupt.
Some fool (maybe another bank) would own the bankrupt bank's stocks and assets, and also
face bankruptcy. This would cause a loss of confidence in banks and everyone would start
pulling their money to safeguard it, causing a cascading effect of bank insolvency. .
In short, the entire financial world hangs by a thin string, ready to be
destroyed in a domino effect due to an unforeseen event (crisis) that causes
value of investments to fall and Derivatives exacerbates the effects.

Derivatives: The Unregulated Global Casino for Banks.

$1 Quadrillion = $1000 Trillions = $1 Million Billions or $1 Billion Millions
This is another view of the Derivative Exposure cash wall. The "small" buildings are all the toobigtofail Bank HQ's.
One wonders how the Derivative Wall would look physically in this graphic if Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen raised the Interest Rate to historical norms on a surprise move.
Moving a F5 tornado through the Derivative Wall is the physical analogy of raising interest rate to historical norms. Something somewhere would catch fire and imagine the
firestorm of $1 Quadrillion burning in a high speed tornado, with the Banks caught in the middle.
Demonocracy.info wishes it had more graphical rendering power to simulate a $1 Quadrillion firestorm tornado of Derivatives. ..Maybe in the future..

4/30/2017 All the Money in the World | How Much the World is Worth | The Liquidity Pyramid
The Liquidity Pyramid was created for visualizing the organization of asset classes in terms of risk and size. The Liquidity Pyramid was created during the time in United States,
when each dollar was backed by Gold. Gold forms the small base of most reliable value, and asset classes on progressively higher levels are more risky. The larger size of asset
classes at higher levels is representative of the higher total worldwide notional value of those assets. While Exter's original pyramid placed Third World debt at the top,
today derivatives hold this dubious honor.
As financial risk increases, money tends to move from the more risky assets (Derivatives),
to the least risky assets (to physical cash and then gold). Nothing is without risk, but risk is relative.
The issue is that there is very little physical cash and even less Gold compared to
the more risky assets, this makes for a crowded trade in times of high risk
when everyone wants to jump into cash and gold, pushing up the price.
The Liquidity Pyramid | Exter's Inverted Pyramid
The little yellow rectangle on the left front is all the gold in the world in physical form. All the gold in the world is NOT all in "financial investment grade" form.
World Trade Center, Empire State & bunch of toobigtofail Bank HQ buildings are in the background to help illustrate the size. You are eyelevel to the WTC top floors.
The $1 Quadrillion Derivatives cash wall fades into the distance, because $1 Quadrillion is an estimation by the best analysts and truth is no one really knows the true size of the
Derivatives Market.
