   How much they think they have….In a fiat currency what is the reason we have such a fraudulent and barbaric system? Are we running out of digits on the computer?

   I was able to follow the first couple of videos with relative ease, however now my mind is beginning to explode, I’m finding I have to watch these videos over and over to grasp the concept.

   But thank you so much for these videos as I am sure the written material on this is 100x more mind boggling.

   then you go on to interrupt your point serval times to reiterate that yes the capital can take the form of either actual notes or a checking account.

   Sorry for the criticism, because again I am thankful that you’ve bothered to make these videos at all, but honestly sometimes they hard to watch.

   First off thank you for these video. They are immensely valuable and informative. However, because you take such great pains to explain everything and reiterate the same points over and over again, it ironically becomes harder to follow having deferred from arriving to the actual point for so long.

   For example in this video after mentioning that bank can take receipt of notes from the reserve bank or simply have the reserve bank create a checking account…

   To Pongman
   Federal Reserve is ran by 7 members (The Board of Govenors) They are appointed by President and confirmed by senate for 14 year terms. They get long terms to stay independent from political pressure.

   why in the world would we stop using credit cards? Much easer then debit cards, I always use my credit card. Don’t have to worry about how much money you have in your account.

   I have a question to the creator. Ever seen “A beautiful mind?”

   So who regulates the Federal Reserve? Is there a government entity that is in charge of the Federal Reserve?

   I guess the scary part is when the government has to borrow money, from whom I don’t know, to cover the treasury obligations that have come to term.
