Money is Debt



Situation: 
  • You and Me are in a sealed room. 
  • There is only $100 in the room, and I owns it.
Today:
  • I loan you that $100 with a daily interest of 1%.
  • You take the money.
Tomorrow:
  • You pay me $100 and you still owes me $1.
Scenario 1. 
  • You print $1 to pays me (effectively creating money out of the thin air) or...
Scenario 2.
  • You declare bankruptcy...
Conclusion:

In the world today, we have countries that are both in scenario 1 and 2. Effectively, every countries are in debt globally. If I am in debt and you are in debt,... where does all the monies go to?
