You’re saying what people think fractional reserve banking means isn’t really what it means?

Yes .. I think there was a video ..that started this myth that banks are lending 100 percent of what we deposit ( which is true) ..and then repeat ..thus creating money out of thin air .. and it was named Fractional Reserve banking ..

Totally unconnected ..

Sometimes incorrectly assigned terms just stick and become widely accepted.

We need easy short hand to fit a definition. 🤷‍♂️
