Who controls all the money in the world?

Did you know that only 3% of the money out there is "real", while the rest is digitally up there floating around? Think about what an impact there would be if suddenly everybody tried cashing out of BTC/ETH/LTC/etc. Hundreds of billions of dollars would create ripple waves felt all across the globe! Now I know that's a crazy example to think of, but I just want you to realize the absurdity of it all. What is FIAT currency? And my favorite question of them all, how many average people do you think would even begin to have a clue about all this stuff?

Recently I fell upon this video in my subscriber feed, and I absolutely had to share it!

I'm a big fan of ColdFusion, and I know this isn't his typical type of piece but it's fantastic to see more and more people getting involved in this. I've always been a big fan of money, and I mean truly, I love money. Most people don't. Do you know how you can easily tell? Most people immediately want to get rid of money, they want to distance themselves as far away as they can! They spend it on stupid shit, they burn it, they do whatever to just simply waste it while simultaneously digging deeper the hole they keep finding themselves in.

Most of us are quite familiar with where money comes from, what the gold standard was, how cryptocurrency is changing the game and just the usual history of it all. But if you're not, if you've stumbled upon here and are a curious little kitten.. I'd definitely encourage you to watch some of Mike Maloney's old works to get up to speed with some things:

I'm no conspiracy theorist shouting "Death to the Central Banks and Big insert industry name here!" but I do believe in educating yourself and looking back into the history books. I was always a geek, and the thing is, money certainly does a fair amount of talking. If you have the time to study it, you can prepare yourself for a better future by learning things about the past.

Those who think money is evil are simply wrong. Those who say money cannot provide happiness for you, well, they'd be onto something however most have very little experience with managing wealth and the lifestyle that it may bring. Money won't make you live a joyous life, but it can give you freedom. That's the ultimate goal everyone should go for. Money is a tool just like everything else, and if you're able to figure out how to get it to work for you, you'll have the ability to truly make a change in this world.

The rich get richer by constantly investing and diversifying their portfolios. The more money you make, the more connections you begin to create which in turn keeps the cycle growing constantly.

If I were you, an interested little servant of society, ready to play the game and win your freedom against the odds of all who dare to join.. I'd study these next few links:

Let's succeed, but let's also fail and learn from our mistakes and misadventures.
