Porkopolis Economics covers macroeconomics, money, and sports from the creator of the Crypto Voices podcast, Matthew Mezinskis.
In this episode, we dive into the monetary base of the British pound, which represents the physical cash and bank reserves held by the Bank of England. Matthew highlights the central bank's significant expansion of the monetary base through quantitative easing measures since the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. The discussion then shifts to a comparison between the pound's monetary base and Bitcoin's market capitalization.
Despite the US printing more money, the dollar weakened relative to the pound, leading to the pound's monetary base briefly surpassing Bitcoin's market cap in early 2024 - a historic milestone. However, Bitcoin has since regained its lead, currently standing at a $1.275 trillion market cap compared to the pound's $1.1 trillion monetary base.
