    Let me get this straight, fiat money was invented because when economic crisises ever happened, gold was hard to provide liquity in terms of emergency, which was apart of the negative effects of the great depression, also fiat money and its value is determined by the supply chain, inflation, and interest rates(through monetary policy)

      Almost correct.
      Fiat money's value is reliant on the use of the money as a currency, particularly, when exchanging goods and services. The more money in circulation, the stronger the value of the money becomes.
      Let's throw an example out there.
      A Pepsi is $2.78 in the convenience store close to where I'm located at this present minute (I just purchased one).
      If the Pepsi was, instead, $1.00, then our currency would be "strong", or we would have more money in circulation, and less required to print due to moderate demand and high usage.
      If the Pepsi was $5.00, then our currency would be "weak", or we would have less money in circulation, and more required to print due to high demand, but low usage.
      In essence, a lot of "how to fix the economy" stems back to the whole "We should start taxing the wealthy". *The more money that stays stagnated, the more we're required to print to make up from the money that is no longer in circulation -- this money, that is then losing it's value to the Reserve, is also increasing it's value due to Interest.*
      Now let's talk quickly about how you can gain wealth from interest rates. It's actually simple: If you're the owner of capital (large quantities of wealth), you can earn money when you simply have purchased money, or valued item, for a cost equal to low -- and hold onto item (money or otherwise) for it to be hit with natural inflation (2%) and abnormal inflation (greater). If you're wealthy, you don't want "deflation", as it devalues your asset (money) and makes it worth less than you acquired for it.
      By the exact inverse -- deflation increases the value of the currency, and thus denotes the following:
      The Pepsi, above, went from $2.78 to $1. Allowing me to have $1.78 in my pocket. This allows me to obtain 2 Pepsi's, for the typical cost of one, and still have 78 cents left over.
      I want to end with the caste system. One part that people get wrong so, so many times is not realizing how much "money hoarding" harms them. The idea of "taxation on the wealthy" isn't to give some chick who never worked with 8 kids stamps. It's because the only reason she has 8 kids and requires stamps is due to the cost of various amenities in our society, including education, being exponential due to the past 50 years of neoliberalism that allowed "billionaires" to exist.
      Consider that the wealthiest person when we created the fiat currency, could have only accurately obtained 100 million USD. There was once a "limit" to wealth. That doesn't exist now. Neoliberalism, known as "conservative fiscal policies" today (hilariously), are why this exists.
      What did we learn here:
      - Inflation is good for the wealthy and increases the wealth, sometimes exponentially (due to lack of education within the US), but it's incredibly harmful for the poverty, low, middle, and upper working class.
      - Deflation is good for the poverty, low, middle and upper 'working' class; But it's bad for capital wealth owners with millions, to billions, of USD in assets.
      - Currency Stagnation, or "weakening of value", is due to large quantities of money in circulation, due to printing more than it's being traded for (internally and externally), primarily due to hoarding or holding wealth without use (ala wealth class, billionaires, multi-millionaires, etc).
      - A "stronger" currency makes it easier, and better, for everyone to live, including the wealthy.
      - A "weaker" currency only creates a pseudo caste system, one where the 'working' class (non wealth class) is the lesser class, and the wealthy have an easier, and better, method of living. (The rich get richer, the working class become poorer).
      - Neoliberalism is the reason why inflation in the US occurs at the rate it does, and at the extent it impacts you, but not someone actually wealthy. (The wealthy benefit, the working class get punished).

      @@itsJoshW Are you saying that instead of relying on precious metals such as gold or silver, fiat money is based off of consumer confidence and the exchange of services and the production of goods. Also, having a strong currency can vary, exports become more expensive for different countries, unless if you are making a sale of a high valued asset, while a weaker currency makes transactions more favorable for foreign buyers. Fiat money was created because everyone knew that there would not be enough gold to back every dollar, and governments had big projects to fund.

    • @itsJoshW
      @itsJoshW 6 годин тому +2

      I think this needs to be adjusted a bit to more properly address modern day. It's not monopolies that we have to care about, when it comes to like "microsoft" (which is what everyone hilariously focuses on). It's telecom monopolies. It's your utilities. It's the concept that no "public" option exists for legitimately important products or services that, ultimately, are due to privatizing originally public constructs.
      That being said, monopolies are bad. We need to focus the concept onto what type of monopolies...because we can all say "Microsoft is a monopoly", but so is Walmart or Save-A-Lot, if you realize that a monopoly can exist by simply removing competition in a certain area, rather than the idea of "company being big".
      Note: Using Microsoft as an example of 'bad faith arguments' regarding monopolies. Most focus on useless topics, and don't realize that they are forced into one ISP, one Electrical company, one Natural Gas company, they aren't capable of getting an EV due to lack of charging stations, they aren't able to find affordable (15% of your monthly income) housing, etc, etc.

      Bitcoin is useful for purchasing an otherwise worthless program (that use to be mined on something as easy as a quad GTX 980) and suckering idiots to purchase it, then resell it as the value is high (after lots of people purchase it, thus the demand increases) so you can obtain large quantities of money from the otherwise worthless product.
      It's sort of like if you were to take dirt, claim "It's actually the next big thing" to a group of idiots, and as people are trading it, you then sell your over-abundant of, once worthless, dirt as the value is high, making money on something that was otherwise valueless.

    • @user-ob4mc1uw1s
      @user-ob4mc1uw1s 5 годин тому

      When inflation gets too high, the Central Bank increases the interest rate, so the ''fee'' you have to pay to lend money. Therefore less people will take on more debt, because new money is more expensive now, which decreases inflation. Though the prices will never be back to normal, because inflation will always be more than 0, because Central Banks aim for an inflation rate of about 2%, therefore prices will rise forever under our current fiat system.

    ok, so a) there is no proof that barter was ever a thing in society but perhaps during communal stage, money as a concept is far older than you think b) money does not have to be valuable as actually you said. c) the value of gold also came from trust, not the ore. The reason to use it was for authentication. d) gold does NOT help against inflation. In summary, money needs to be trusted by all, available to all, flexible to be used by the government, authentic, otherwise you have no money.

    • @user-ob4mc1uw1s

      the value of gold came from trust, but they only trusted it because gold is scarce, fiat money is not scarce. And yes Gold DOES help against inflation, because the government cant just print more gold, but they can just print more fiat money. Gold isnt perfect tho, Bitcoin is the better alternative.
