An animated documentary by Paul Grignon explaining how modern money is created through bank lending as debt. This is a combined upload of the revised 2009 edition.

> Which in practice means there's literally never enough money in circulation to pay off the 'debt'. I always wondered why so many people were in so much debt, and was really shocked when I came to the understanding that we've designed our monetary system to trap people in debt. ▶ this video is a cartoonish but thorough explanation for anyone who has the time. This system really is insane. I mean, I thought Bitcoin was dumb because it's based on nothing, but our national government-based monetary systems being based on debt are even worse.

It most certainly wasn't the motivation for many people I know in the space. I was introduced to bitcoin by someone who was also promoting this: ▶ this video and the interest I developed for it was both because the tech. was interesting and new and it resonated with my political sensibilities. Strictly nothing to do with drugs.

This is a good start, "Money as debt". Saw it in university and since then you will never take financial markets seriously. And all the "stimulus" we see is just pushing the can forward. You will start to see through a lot of lies. ▶ this video
