Matthew updates on the Crypto Voices Monetary Base exhibit for 2019 Q4. This episode will be a lot easier if following along with the tweet thread, which is here: https://twitter.com/crypto_voices/status/1227949623362379778?s=20

Bottom line:Bitcoin is currently the #9th largest base money in the fiat world.Bitcoin is currently the #11th largest base money in the fiat world, including past base monies gold & silver.

Bitcoin is unquestionably unlike anything else in the (financial) world. However, if you are going to try and compare Bitcoin's supply with other supply curves in the financial world, don't. The only money supply you can compare it to is fiat's "Monetary Base," or "Base Money."

Firstly, something needs to be used as a medium of exchange to technically be called "money."

Gold and silver used to be.Fiat is now.Bitcoin very well could be.

But don't get carried away. We need to compare bitcoin (and gold... and silver) to fiat's "base money" supply, and *only* to the base money supply.

M1/M2/M3 and all others simply aren't comparable. Why? Because those supplies include "claims" on base money.

In this episode, we review the 2019Q4 tweet thread in depth, covering:1) Some of the economic, seismic changes of China and India;2) What reserve balances really are, and how we economically look at them;3) What other bank balances economically are (we are the creditors, banks are the debtors);4) The methodological changes we've made with gold and silver, from using "all-time" gold and silver mined ounces, to using estimated, liquid gold and silver outstanding ounces (bullion plus jewelry);5) The deeper meaning behind mainstream journalism's economic assumptions, views, and narratives pushed, versus their effort in actually providing well-thought data to their audience.
