  • Banks are a riddle wrapped up in an enigma. We all kind of know that they do stuff with money we don’t understand, while the last crisis left a feeling of deep mistrust and confusion. We try to shed a bit of light onto the banking system. Why were banks invented, why did they cause the last crisis and are there alternatives?

      i feel bad for this comment thread... As someone studying Financial Management in a master's degree right now i can say, you did a good job of explaining!
      Most people here in the comments have no actual idea of how the financial market works and just repeat the same triggerwords, just like in politics. Needless to say, everyone in this thread thats bitching about banks, has surely their own bankaccount. If you are that much agaist it, dont spit out insults, do something productive!

    IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: This was a video sponsored by the lovely (and patient!) folks at PSCU, thanks again for the support! What does this mean? It means that we got funding for doing this topic sooner than we would have done otherwise - the sponsor had no influence over the content of the video! This video represents our own research and opinion on the topic. This video is a bonus video, on top of our regular uploads.
    The reason I’m posting this here is that we want to be super up front and honest about sponsorships - we do want to make videos that entertain you and that help make the world a little bit more awesome. But it is impossible to sustain ourselves with the youtube channel - we are too many people and the videos take too long to produce. So we will do sponsorships to make this CZcams channel more sustainable from time to time. How is this gonna work: Sponsors can pay us to do certain topics, or to have their project features at the end of the video (like the audible adds lots of STEM channels do). But the scripts will not be approved by a sponsor. Everything we tell you is researched by us. We are in the explaining stuff business, not in the advertisement business (well, ok, you can hire us to produce a video - but it won’t go up on our youtube channel).
    If you have questions or comments please tell us, total transparency is super important for us. And if you want to help us get 100% independent from sponsors, you can support us directly at Patron: bit.ly/1NOxZ7p. Our ultimate goal is doing youtube and similar projects full time, for you guys and because it is so much fun. Thank you for reading this far! - Philipp

    I'm deeply concerned about the current banking situation. The thought of a bank as large as SVB failing worries me greatly. A close friend who manages a rapidly expanding startup experienced significant setbacks due to a recent bank run. As a precaution, I've withdrawn over $840,000 from my bank. However, with FDIC coverage limited to $250,000, I'm aware that a potential collapse could have serious repercussions. Given these circumstances, I'm considering investing in the stock market. Any suggestions on how I should proceed?

      Yeah, financial advisors could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look. I have been using an FA since 2020, and I return at least $30k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.

    The explanation of bank lending is wrong.. banks lend more far far more money than they have on deposit. It's called fractional reserve banking. Essentially when you take a loan out, most of the money you get is created out of thin air, and it's your promise to pay it back with interest that brings it into existence. This is of course gives banks huge power.

      +Joel Nichols but the main process of how money and credit is created is fractional banking. 97% of all money is created is from fractional banking. so it's quite a big thing to miss out when explaining how banks work.

    • @jmitterii2
      @jmitterii2 Před 8 lety +31

      +Mutton Man The reason why it tends to work is that this new money being lent into existence is going toward both supply investment to make new stuff and/or demand in getting financing a car so you can get to work and do other things you want to do with a car or bike or whatever item.
      It helps expand the money supply while expanding both supply of stuff and helping demand as well, when both quantity of supplies increase and quantity of goods demanded increase, the overall economy grows, meaning more people have a chance to improve their standard of living.
      That's the basic concept.
      The downside to fractional banking is that it can increase risk to banks on default should their be a run on their bank and depositors flee, hence why FDIC was created after the 1929 crash, and also why regulations that put a firewall against investment highly speculative banking and deposit banking. Unfortunately in 2000, the republicans in congress signed by Democrat Clinton in the US repealed this firewall protection. And just 7 years later, we had a meltdown and runs on banks in the US. Also, it didnt' help that new risky financial instruments were never and still are not regulated like credit default swaps.
      From early 1990's finance sector was only 5.5% of GDP, by 2006 it had grown to over 8% of GDP, financing to be efficient should be too expensive, so it rising in GDP means it cuts other sectors' shear of GDP in producing tangible goods and services.

      My honest opinion is that if you're new to investing is best to get your feet wet in safer, long-term opportunities such as staking, real-state, dedicating a small portion of your portfolio for the stock market (Just to hedge your possibilities and having something that can grow exponentially long-term). Aside from that you could invest in the middle portion into index funds such as S&P500 and NASDAQ, which have pretty good returns long-term wise, often time beating inflation rates.

      A lot of complicated mathematics came from accounting and banking since keeping track of numbers is very important for making a buck in those industries. In fact, Euler's constant (e) can be found through compound interest.
      As you put larger and larger values for n in the equation: (1+1/n)^n, the value gets closer to Euler's constant. So the limit as n goes to infinity for that equation is actually e!

    How could you talk about the modern banking system without even mentioning fractional reserve? In 2008 Citibank had more than $60 lent out for every $1 in deposits. The issue wasn't just bad loans, it was tonnes of bad loans made with "virtual money"; money created out of thin air (though to be fair in our fiat currency system all money is made from thin air).

    • @gg_rider
      @gg_rider Před 8 lety +58

      Fractional Reserve credit *does not exist* because banks do not lend out funds they *have* or "possess", not full reserves, nor a "fraction" of reserves. Reserve accounts are practically unrelated to lending and impose no limits whatsoever. Reserves are for overnight clearing of checks, *not* loans.
      Loans *create* deposits which create more reserves.
      Capitalism works by contracts.
      Banks create loans by creating contracts. Contracts with numbers have some rough value, a price that may have variance in value due to expected risks plus the over all social and market environment.
      Banks create loans by creating pairs of contracts, called Balance Sheet expansion. Creating pairs of contracts, one incoming (assets, received over time), the other outgoing (liabilities, now) (a bank account balance or check is a liability of the banking system owed to depositor or borrower) --- nothing is per se "illegal" about that -- and so long as Capitalism (myth and actual) allows persons and corporations to own property, including property such as contracts, with unlimited property rights, then nothing but sound central bank regulations (incl Dodd Frank, etc, much more could be done) vs "lassez faire" prevents banks from creating as much credit with as much risk as they choose to maximize profits ... with the theory that risks are totally eliminated by clever exotic contracts and securitization ... and with the implicit understanding that if the executives totally destroy the institutions with bad loans, while paying themselves record profits and bonuses in the short term, the US govt will rescue the institutions .. but not investigate and not prosecute the tricky financial fraudsters.
      Warren Mosler published a set of reforms for Treasury, Fed, and Banks. Some of those, rather than regulate some of the more useless and predatory aspects of finance, simply ban those completely, while still permitting commercial banks to conduct routine commercial banking, and risk mgmt and allocation, as the public utility that they actually are.

      For example, somebody made a video about money generation in the UK and got out a document from the Bank of England (their central bank or analogous institution), and there was stuff in it that were contradictory to reality apparently.
      Perhaps the money system is just so big, most people in it only know their part, and so most people aren't aware of the whole effects and nuances of it.

      Inflation is also a good thing, without inflation people wouldn't consume, and without consummation there is no money circulation, which in the end means there is no progress.
      The video you mentioned also doesn't address the fact that taxes are a redistribution of money between the rich and the poor. A lot of poor people are against taxes though, which isn't a good decision really.

      michbushi 90% (9/10) or some other fraction of money is lent, while some amount (1/10 usually) is kept as a "reserve." The determination of how much is kept and how much is lent is made by calculating things like probability of default, amount of money that might be withdrawn on / defaulted at any one time, etc. Anyway, after the 2008 crisis, the Fed now requires banks to keep much large reserves in the event of large defaults and loss of liquidity.

    Watching this video at midnight during an existential crisis in desperation to change my life by understanding money and banking.

    Great video, I enjoyed filming my video about credit union vs banks!

    No mention of fractional reserve system, and bringing up the 2008 crisis, explaining as a result of "gambling", withou questioning "hey, why suddenly so many bad house loans were given?" --> government intervention via Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Was expecting more! :-(

      We don't use the fractional reserve system any more, and reserve requirements only apply to checking accounts for the most part. The main practical limits are capital requirements. While reserve and capital requirements might help in a crisis when liquidity is needed, it's not going to do much about banks making bad loans and doing things that lead up to a crash.

      Dimitri, what portion of subprime mortgages was held by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae in 2008? I believe it was was well under half, more like 30%. So you give a pass on the other 70% because it doesn't fit the agenda you are pushing. Yes, it was gambling, they all were. BofA was leveraged out to something like 50:1. I know the right likes to claim that a law requiring non-discrimination in loans is at fault, but that law didn't require giving out bad loans, just they not discriminate on the basis of race.

      I don't know the ratio, but I'm surprised if the 30% ratio is accurate, you talk about it as peanuts, this is a huge manipulation of the market. I assume you remember the wrong number, but regardless. Put on top the mandates around discrimination, which very much reduce the standards for loan-giving. Reduced downside, cheap money, more incentives to take risk, what would be the result? Oh, I guess we can always blame the profit incentive ("greed") of the private players, even if that was forever there. Maybe their "super greed" genes were mysteriously activated, who knows, some cosmic radiation excited them.

      It's also worth mentioning that, acting as the lender of last resort, the Federal Reserve allows credit expansion far beyond what a natural market would ever allow. In a competitive system, banks have to use this unlimited leverage to find investments, and that always leads to poor investments, because there's only so much demand out there for the final produce of those investments. If the Fed didn't exist, credit expansion like this would be impossible and bubbles would also be impossible.

    So now you want to know how banking work after the SVB.

    Hi! I think U maybe the ONLy person I have heard give the precaution of “ONLY do this if it’s for Hard Inquiries that are not for any active credit lines”. That’s so awesome & amazing; I know tons of folks will appreciate this if they see Ur clip 1st before the others who instruct on this specific subject but doesn’t talk about the precaution & risks; how it applies... to later have their accts closed. No bueno! Kuddos for Ur knowledge & the sauce; for Ur transparency!!! I recommend ANDYHACKSCREDITFIX🎡ORG for those with bad credit after recommending this clip to learn some knowledge about credit....
