На тоя чичко професор по икономика завършил Харвард и Yale съм му голям фен. Много ли бъркам, като му гледам лекциите? Намерих начин да извадя субтитрите. Особено към края е много яко.

The next bizarre event
14:47
of 2017 can be called the Bitcoin explosion what was that about well let's
14:57
talk first about the reasonable side of it as you all know money is something
15:04
that is basically produced by governments and also produced by banks
15:09
in the normal way that banks do business but the banks set up their money by
15:16
creating checking accounts and so on using the government-issued cash in this
15:23
country the dollar bill the $20 bill the hundred dollar bill and so on it has
15:29
always therefore been a fantasy of all kinds of people why can't we have other
15:34
kinds of money multiple sources of money and you know in the United States as in
15:40
most other countries we did that for a while the early years of the United
15:44
States as an independent country had money coming from all sides different
15:49
states had money sometimes different counties within States issued their own
15:54
currency if you were doing business and moving safe remain in the north to
15:59
Maryland or Virginia in the south you as a business person would traverse regions
16:04
with different money and you'd have to exchange the money from Maine for the
16:08
money from Massachusetts and then that money with the money from New Jersey and
16:12
that money with the money from Delaware and so on and then we unified all that
16:17
into one money and that always left the question G how would it be if we had
16:22
multiple sources of money again and you know how unkindly the law looks upon
16:28
people who take it into their own hands to do that by counterfeiting money for
16:33
example so it's always been a fantasy and there's an interesting question
16:37
about what would be the economic consequences of different people issuing
16:43
money if it wasn't only the government Bitcoin begins by saying here here's
16:49
another kind of money and let's see if we can get people to accept it in
16:54
exchange for work they do or goods that they sell will they take another
16:59
currency and an electronic currency Bitcoin as a substitute for dollar bills
17:05
or Euros and if they take them will they be able to spend them on other things so
17:11
that it works like money and that's an interesting question and that began to
17:15
be asked by these people who make crypto currencies alternative currencies or
17:20
what you call them and the biggest of them has been Bitcoin that's the
17:25
reasonable side now we come to the unreasonable side every commodity that
17:32
has ever existed every good that goes through a market
17:36
from buyer to seller and so on has become at one point or another an
17:41
object of speculation what do I mean it begins to be purchased not for whatever
17:47
use it originally had but for a very different purpose it is bought in order
17:53
to be resold at a higher price let me give you an example perhaps the most
17:58
famous example were tulips grown in Holland back in the early 18th century
18:04
now tulips had a purpose they were a flower they were grown by gardeners and
18:09
bee of their beauty they would be purchased
18:11
by people to beautify their gardens etc useful things but then somebody got the
18:20
idea whoa if I buy these tulips in the right way in the right color at the
18:26
right time and I wait I could sell them maybe for more money and then that
18:31
person did it and everybody noticed Wow he bought them for ten and sold them for
18:36
twenty maybe if I buy them for twenty I'll be able to sell them for thirty and
18:40
they did and that brought more people in and they convinced folks look don't buy
18:47
these tulips because they make your garden beautiful buy these tulips
18:51
because you're going to get rich quickly and you know how and why simply because
18:56
if you buy it it's going up and you'll be able to make money by selling at a
19:01
higher price and how will you be able to do that by convincing the person you
19:05
sell it at a higher price to that he or she can do the same and it's just an
19:10
upward and onward spiral that's what happened to Bitcoin it went from
19:15
something worth a few hundred US dollars to something on the order of 20,000 or
19:21
more by the end of 2017 and a lot of people made a lot of money buying and
19:27
reselling at a higher price that's a speculation it happened to
19:31
tulips it's happened to gold frequently it's happened to almost everything all
19:37
you need is to get enough people to believe that they can resell at a higher
19:42
price and then it gets going and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy you
19:47
suck in more and more people the more they observe how much money you could
19:52
make by simply buying something sitting on it for a matter of weeks or months
19:57
and selling it no work no production no value-added pure speculation
20:04
the Bitcoin phenomena is that and like every other speculation of its kind it
20:11
ends badly we look back on what happened to the tulips and refer to it as tulip
20:18
mania finally as the price went higher and higher
20:23
for tulips it got to a point where the risk was too high the amount of money
20:29
you would have to spend to buy tulips was so enormous that the risk that it
20:33
might not go up simply was too frightening and at that point nobody
20:39
stepped in to buy which meant the last people who had laid out money discovered
20:44
they weren't gonna make more so they quickly sold it for fear it would go
20:49
down and when it goes down the fear that it's going to go down further makes
20:55
everyone holding it dump it and the price goes down as fast or faster than
21:01
it went up everyone thinking of playing with bitcoins has to understand this is
21:09
just another crazy speculation which is one of the side effects that can be so
21:16
disastrous of the institution we call the market and has to be weighed when we
21:23
wonder whether they're not might not be better ways to distribute resources and
21:28
products that buying and selling them given the potential at any time for the
21:35
kinds of crazed speculation bitcoin has been seen to go through.
