IS THIS TRUE OR IS IT A RUMOR?
Yep, it’s true, the government is considering minting a trillion dollar platinum coin.
WOULD IT BE A PHYSICAL COIN OR DIGITAL?
It’s a physical coin mixed with platinum.
WHERE DO WE FIND A TRILLION DOLLAR’S WORTH OF PLATINUM?
We wouldn’t, we would mix platinum with other metals and stamp “1 trillion” on the coin – same as the one hundred dollar bill which does not contain one hundred dollars worth of cotton.
WHY DO WE NEED A TRILLION DOLLAR COIN?
The coin is a solution to a problem called the “debt ceiling”. The reason we may want to create a trillion dollar coin is because our government is trying to raise money to pay for running the government, but it can’t do that without politicians coming together and agreeing to do it (which they don’t want to do). This is why we found a loophole that allows the treasury to create a trillion dollar coin. This is because of Section 31 US Code 5112 which states “The Secretary may mint and issue platinum bullion coins and proof platinum coins in accordance with…”
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The treasury would create this trillion dollar coin, deposit it that into the Federal Reserve, and from that account it would be able to use the money to pay the government’s bills with to avoid hitting the debt ceiling.
WHAT IS THE DEBT CEILING?
The debt ceiling is just a limit on how much money the government can borrow through the creation of bonds. When our government needs to raise money, it creates bonds, and with that money it uses it to pay bills, things like social security, medicare, tax refunds, payroll etc. This limit does not reset every year or every month like a credit card – it’s a hard limit. At the time of its creation in 1917 the limit was set at 1 billion dollars and it was something we created to help us fund World War I.
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE INCREASED IT BEFORE?
Since 1917, we have increased it roughly 80 times.
WHY DON’T WE INCREASE IT AGAIN?
Politically speaking, raising the debt ceiling doesn’t look good – it seems like you’re just giving the government a blank check to spend on anything it wants. To people across America, for both Democrats and Republicans, no one wants to be the guy that approves “reckless spending.”
IS THIS A BIG DEAL?
Yes. The debt ceiling is a very real problem which affects all of us because if we don’t fix, has the potential to put a stop to the entire US economy which would eventually impact the global economy. If we don’t raise the debt ceiling and we reach the limit, national parks would shut down, seniors would stop receiving social security for a period of time, our military and anyone who works for the government wouldn’t get paid, including families that depend on government support would be in trouble. The US would default on its “obligations”. To this day in history, the US has never defaulted which is a big part of how the US is able to borrow money at very low interest rates – because we always pay our bills in full.
WILL THIS CAUSE INFLATION?
The trillion dollar coin is not created to pay for new expenses. Raising the debt limit doesn’t create inflation, instead it allows us to pay for the commitments we’ve already made. Because we’re not creating more money to pay for the national debt or to fund anything new – inflation shouldn’t go up. If anything, it’s accounting trick that allows to achieve the same result of raising the debt ceiling. But, if we used this to pay for new expenses then yes – eventually inflation would go up.
SO WHY DON’T WE GET RID OF THE DEBT CEILING?
No one knows but it’s most likely because none of the political parties want to be the party that approves “reckless spending”. Instead increasing the debt ceiling is a political game that has turned into leverage over the opposing party.
WHEN DO WE HIT THE DEBT CEILING?
We will run out of money in the middle of October 2021.

Hi Andrei I’m ready to begin
We got to get biden and the democrats out of office first.
i understood nothinggg
The philosophy of the rich and the poor is this : the rich invest their money and spend what is left. The poor spend their money and invest what is left "
Andrei really love your work, you always produce great professional content and at the same time not being boring, keeping the viewer interested but with well balanced sarcasm and video edits.
Continue like this, btw you should start some other type of business too in the entertainment.
A big hug from italy.
KEEP IT UPLIKE THIS!
SHIB TO THE MOON!
You and the millionaire money gang are so freaking suspicious- don’t you realize that talking about coins like Bitcoin cash and shiba inu like they’re the same as Bitcoin and other great L1s is spreading misinformation. Also, I’m not going to forget your Vid about million token, just because you didn’t endorse didn’t mean the huge exposure for the coin to the public was okay. Please educate yourself and watch people like cryptosrus and invest answers rather than these dudes, you’ll thank me later
Success is about focusing Your energy on what creates results and using what you already know
Every time your government says “Oh, we need money (rubs hands)” it goes and ruins a country somewhere else.
Funny how positive you are about hyperinflation. Enjoy it
It's safe to say if the govt can abuse it, they will
Honestly the best content.
“I’m not a crypto channel” love your content Andrei buttttt this is a crypto channel
What trillion dollar coin? even if we print 157 of them, We still won't be able to fill all of our obligations
Love this type of economic content video. Thanks for your work. ( Loved the Metal gear sound effect )
I AM that guy. Put me in the office so I can start cleaning house. STARTING WITH THIS BS ON HOW WE STILL HAVE DEBT BUT WE KEEP RAISING THE CIELING TO OWE MORE!
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance wealth, a great career, purpose is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life.
wouldnt this make the us dollar be worth less then piss. like $1000 dollar bill in Jamaican is nearly nothing.
TIL Andrei doesn’t own any platinum coins.
Taking out a loan is inflationary, but the act of paying it back is equally deflationary. But if you take out a loan and manage to pay it back with monopoly money instead of money from the economy, the inflation sticks. And now your newly reset credit level can take out another loan, adding new inflation as you return to the same level of debt.
Excellent book on the topic of our deficit is "The Deficit Myth"
Thanks for the video
Not trying to spam your comment section🥺 I am just really eager to know this information.
Hi new to investing here ☺️, but I have been watching your videos for a few months now. Can you pleaseeeee explain why/ how Robin Hood is “ripping off/ taking advantage” of new users using transaction fees/ stock prices? Does this mean when we sell our stocks we are not getting the actual stock price? Like if we buy 100 shares of a stock for $5 and it increases to $7. If we decide to sell are we getting the $7 a share? Or is it work more on other stock portfolios. Confused 🆘🆘🆘
I heard they already minted a few
Essentially everything coin is an NFT
Awesome video!
We in the United States should repay our debts in a Squid Game style Fashion
I hope one big takeaway people get from this video is that people should be extremely wary about giving any additional powers to their governments, even if it seems completely innocuous at the time. A few sentences, of something that seems totally harmless, in a bill enacted decades ago, essentially gives a single person the legal power to print infinite amount of US dollars. If you don't know how this can impact everyone's standard of living…. Well I guess we're already getting a taste of it.
first min and a half is just explaing what a fiat currency is…. but hey, there are always people hearing this stuff for the first time.
I know a magician is never supposed to reveal their secrets.. but I have to know.. how do you make your voice so sexy like that? I'm sure you have a naturally lovely voice.. but it's clear it is enhanced in some way that is very pleasant. You are an artist!
Omg, i gotta spend more money to get my mind off thi$
