HOW MONEY IS MADE in a Modern World - Look Inside Bank of England's Gold Vault
In this new video you can learn how commercial banks can create money
through the accounting process they use when they make loans, how banks
make payments between each other using specially created central bank
money, if the Bank of England really can control how much money is in
the economy ...and more.
How is money made?
The ways in
which money has been made, and the materials used to make it, are an
important part of the history of money. Making coins, paper money and
plastic cards involves complex processes, different in each case.
In
economics, money creation is the process by which the money supply of a
country or a monetary region (such as the Eurozone) is increased. A
central bank may introduce new money into the economy (termed
'expansionary monetary policy') by purchasing financial assets or
lending money to financial institutions. Commercial bank lending then
multiplies this base money through fractional reserve banking, which
expands the total of broad money (cash plus demand deposits).
Quantitative
easing involves the creation of a significant amount of new base money
by a central bank by the buying of assets that it usually does not buy.
Usually, a central bank will conduct open market operations by buying
short-term government bonds or foreign currency. However, during a
financial crisis, the central bank may buy other types of financial
assets as well. The central bank may buy long-term government bonds,
company bonds, asset backed securities, stocks, or even extend
commercial loans. The intent is to stimulate the economy by increasing
liquidity and promoting bank lending, even when interest rates cannot be
pushed any lower.
Singapore will regulate virtual-currency
intermediaries including operators of Bitcoin exchanges and vending
machines to address potential money-laundering and terrorist-financing
risks.
Digital currencies have come under scrutiny in markets
from China to Russia and the U.S., with some regulators calling for bans
or limits on their use. Charlie Shrem, the founder of exchange company
BitInstant, was charged in Manhattan two months ago with conspiring to
launder $1 million of Bitcoins.
Congressman Ron Paul warned that
if the US continues on its current course, the dollar will collapse, and
gold will literally be priceless. "Eventually, if we're not careful, it
will go to infinity, because the dollar will collapse totally," Paul
said What the people of Ukraine
are being put through is absolutely horrible. They are caught in the
middle of a massive tug of war between the East and the West, and they
are paying a great price for it. Ultimately, Ukraine will end up either
being dominated by Russia (a bad outcome) or by the EU and the United
States (another bad outcome).
China just dropped an absolute
bombshell, but it was almost entirely ignored by the mainstream media in
the United States. The central bank of China has decided that it is
"no longer in China's favor to accumulate foreign-exchange reserves".
During the third quarter of 2013, China's foreign-exchange reserves were
valued at approximately $3.66 trillion.
A young American woman
who ran the First Meta bitcoin exchange was found dead in her Singapore
apartment last week. Police are investigating the "unnatural death".
Autumn
Radtke was found on the morning of February 26 after Police received an
emergency call from an apartment building. She was pronounced dead at
the scene. A preliminary police investigation has ruled out foul play,
but neighbors told police they suspected Radtke jumped from an
apartment.
