All fiat money is effectively "infinite" as it has no intrinsic value. Considering the vast majority of money is just numbers in a computer, not even bills, its not exceptionally difficult for the Fed to release more dollars into the economy (just look at QE1 & QE2).

While money can be created out of thin air at any time to any degree, it is important to separate it from the broader category of wealth or assets.

I was having a conversation with someone (a supply sider) who claimed this, and I just don't see it . Help .

The question is simply is "money" infinite ?



In America it is.

The US prints new money daily.

As long as we can keep regrowing or harvesting the resources for print and paper money shall always be in infinite supply.

A better question is 'When it all comes down to it, does money really mean much any more?'

At the stage I'm at, I really wouldn't have any use for a whole lot of it. Few little things I want and some debts to pay off but if I had several million it would just collect dust in the bank or else get given away. I don't want to travel, I don't want to drive. I'm into video games but have more than enough for a lifetime on my PC already.

In fact it makes wonder if the only reason that people horde cash is if somewhere in the back of their mind they think they're playing a video game and those dollars are points.

That's a good point E.

And you're right. It's not so much about the importance of money. It has to more to do with getting what we want, and that's what makes money important, because it links to getting what we want. No one would care about money if they could just help themselves to whatever they want.

you can get money and make it disappear or make more of it...
i don't think it is infinite though, it depends on how you use it
you can make more money by using compound interest formula in money matters
in the end, it still depends on how you handle money

confusing<- my post is sorry

I wish money's infinite but you are only as good as what you have. I mean, that is just how life goes, whatever harsh truth that might speak off. And people seem to be in a constant and unending run to go after money, which is not that bad, but not good when you make it your goal, or your soul purpose to live, right?

Yeah, occupy "Money". Now, ask yourself if the Creator of It was a moral dude. But I am the moral dude who lends it for the state. Now, where is that Bond Certificate? Money occupies me.

It depends on where you use it. Money can only be infinite if you have lots of it and can spend it without worrying about your expenses.

In terms of resources, the materials used are not infinite.
In terms of economics, printing too much money results in inflation, and possible Hyper-Inflation.
