Check out show sponsor Coinkite: https://coinkite.com/ Donations to Porkopolis Economics via BTCPay appreciated: https://donations.porkopolis.io/ This is the first video installment from Porkopolis Economics, covering macro and money, from the creator of the Crypto Voices podcast. Contents 00:00 Intro 00:47 Dollar-gold background 05:40 Federal Reserve opened doors in 1914 13:34 Post-WWII period (Bretton Woods) 18:45 Great Moderation 22:48 Bitcoin era 25:00 What is the deal with CBDCs? Here we cover how much physical cash and coin - these things we call dollars - exist around the world.  This covers a 105 year period, from a time when the dollar was redeemable and convertible into gold, until today, when it is not. Also, how do you think Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) are going to play into this situation?  Why is physical cash still growing so quickly, if it is not "that important" today? https://porkopolis.io https://twitter.com/crypto_voices Show content is not investment or financial advice in any way.
