Here’s all the money in the world, in one chart

The answer is complicated, you may think, but it is not because it is difficult to understand all the big numbers. Instead, it is more parameters for defining "money".

Mr. Jeff de Jardin, editor of Visual Capitalist, said that he gathered infographic graphics to answer questions. It was recently updated as the meaning of funds is different as early as 2015.

"Is the summary created by the central bank really money, how about gold, bit coins, and other hard assets?" He asked.

For purists, they think that "money" refers only to physical "narrow money" (money, coins, and money deposited in ordinary deposit or checking account), totaling about 36.8 trillion dollars. If you are looking for "general currency", this is not just a physical currency, it is also funds of an account that is easy to access. This is about 90.4 trillion dollars.

But for those who prefer a broader interpretation, including Bitcoin BTCUSD, -0.13%, Ethereum and other cryptographic currencies, on-the-spot gold supply, and investing in various financial instruments (such as derivatives) , 4 digit amount

It is estimated that the total investment in derivatives is at least $ 544 trillion and the high end is $ 1.2 trillion. Indeed, the funds for derivatives are more than the sum of all stock markets, it is quite negligible $ 73 trillion. Thanks to Apple Inc., AAPL, -1.75%, Alphabet Inc., GOOG - 0.82%, and Microsoft MSFT, - 0.34%, the United States has the largest share of global market capitalization.

Commercial real estate investment (usually the symbol of the most obvious wealth) has been dwindled with shares or derivatives of $ 29 trillion.

Regarding the money owed by all people and countries all over the world, the total amount is US $ 215 trillion, of which about 33% borrowed in the past decade.

Despite the explosive years of Bitcoin and other encryption currencies, as an asset class, encryption has clearly a long way to go. According to CoinMarketCap, the value of all the bit coins in the figure is estimated to be 100 billion dollars (the market value of bit coin is currently over 160 billion dollars). The growth of dotcoin represented by the 2015 version of this graphic is phenomenal ... but it is still a well-known decrease

There is no money here, this is a bubble. But you need money outside and keep yourself. In the former case, this is why we work well, but everyone is leveling income in Kibbutz. Now, for the outside world, this is very complicated. Even when a person needs to do something outside the Kibbutzu, or even when taking a vacation they need money. People can live in this foam for years, but she or he will eventually talk to the outside world. If you do not have assets here, you can not go out really, so this is a complicated problem. Because people select this place for some purpose, the word stuck is too heavy. Many people are tired of urban living, come on because they are hard at work and have no time. Some of them have assets that can solve this problem.

We have a house outside San Francisco, it is not an enjoyable place anymore, as it is all about money. In the 1920s all these children were designing the world I lived in, but they never touched the world. After graduating from university, I joined Google, Apple, and Facebook, and I am designing new things, but I have no experience of life. This is a very scary idea. After doing this for 45 years, I am very, very fast. It does not take time. It takes two weeks to be late. I am still writing a column in British magazine Blueprint. I have been working for ten years. I know it will come every 6 weeks. Editor Johnny wrote an e-mail to me on Thursday and said "Can I have it on Friday?" I do not know how to write it. It depends on me, it is terrible - I did not get a brief explanation. I went downstairs and closed my eyes for two minutes and said, "Oh, I want to write down the color of the car."
