So 2.1 trillion USD in circulation is not really the right number to use?

And it’s probably much bigger?

Here is the data that the Fed gives us. M1 and M2 are basically different ‘categories’ of money, with M1 being included inside M2. But there is no way to verify this data, people argue over the numbers, and tons of non-currency assets are counted as currency these days. Basically the dollar is trending towards infinity and anyone holding it is going to get fucked - whether that be slowly or quickly

Awesome share - so with the data you’re sharing, the inflation event of the fed printing bailouts for #svb, signature, etc will be much smaller than the 7% I roughly calculated?

No. I’m not sure where you got that number from, but I’m pretty sure it’s much higher and also impossible to truly quantify.

I wish we could actually know how many dollars exist, but unfortunately there is only one full node in the fiat system (Federal Reserve)

Thanks for the response! I just googled “how much USD in circulation?”

Google does a good job of putting incorrect or incomplete information right at the top lmao
