Contents
00:00 Intro
00:15 The balance sheet of the Federal Reserve
01:45 Disclaimer 1: Monetary base (Total Fed assets)
03:50 Disclaimer 2: Bitcoin is analogous to more than USD base money!
04:58 Recent Fed balance sheet activity
06:15 Bitcoin market cap data
10:05 Question 1: When was the Fed last at $1 trillion?
11:47 Question 2: When was the Fed last at $500 billion?
Here we look at the history of Bitcoin's market cap, and how that compares with the monetary base of the dollar. Note, the dollar is just one (certainly the strongest) fiat network in the world, but there are many other fiat currencies that have their own monetary base and are not connected to the dollar at all! Also, I explain why the monetary base is the best monetary comparison to Bitcoin.
