Let's try to make this a thing.
More people need to know about and understand the Eurodollar offshore banking system.

>What's the point of the thread
To help understand the true underpinnings of the global monetary system.
Too many people have a very wrong idea of how it works because the media is shit and doesn't have a stake in educating people, schools are shit, universities teach bullshit economics, hell, even central bankers don't know about it (meaning the Eurodollar offshore banking system).
It's basically to inform and help people get the truth about the global banking/monetary system.

Why is it important to know? Because it's worth approximately $300-400 trillion, yes trillion, no one even knows the actual figure it could be way higher. That figure is what moves markets yet no one knows about it. The fact that there is a global dollar shortage is/was directly causal to the 2008 crisis and every crisis since (including the one happening right now).
This is money that is moving through international banks in the Cayman Islands, Cyprus etc.

he says that we're in a deflationary system when he describes inflation as an increase of the money supply, yet the dollar supply kept increasing, it's just that the liquidity isn't available to many people, that doesn't make our system deflationary. that's the first mistake

the second being that he believes inflation is good, yet when a non inflationary currency competes against an inflationary one, the non inflationary currency always ends up being more valuable long term, so by nature there can't be good or bad, an inflationary currency just cannot exist and he seems to want to ignore that for some reasons. maybe he wants liquidity to be available as needed, I think it creates social problems and cannot work.

I think the 400 trillion value referenced is the notional value of the derivatives, I don't know any of the current numbers but thats what it sounds like. so its actually a lot less real money, probably all settled on a net basis.

Demand for dollars is what gives the dollar its value, mostly to pay dollar denominated debts, I think. The eurodollar system is useful for seeing what the market thinks interest rates will really be over the next 5 or so years, that's all I really know about it. It is mysterious though and I would like to know more.

In my understanding of the eurodollar system, it's actually somewhat distinct/separate from the onshore (i.e. domestic US) dollar system so you're conflating 2 things, I think.

>the second being that he believes inflation is good, yet when a non inflationary currency competes against an inflationary one, the non inflationary currency always ends up being more valuable long term,
I'm not sure when he said that, I've only been watching him for a while and I can't claim to have a complete understanding of the whole system even now.
I don't think he reaches a different conclusion from the one you just did though

>what I don't get is what does it have to do with let's say the euro. you speak to a german in the street he will understand euro problems, but eurodollar, he will say, what does it has to do with the euro, why should I care? so far it's seem a subject related to the us citizens
The euro is competing directly with the dollar like you mentioned just above what you asked there.
Not just the euro but the yen, the yuan, the pound, everything is competing with the dollar for commodities.

>also, how does it relate to debt, and where does that 400 trillion number comes from
Because most debt globally is dollar-denominated. The 400 tril number is what has been speculated. It could be more. We don't even know, that's exactly why they keep it offshore. they want to stay in the shadows.
One thing Snider said at some point was how the original journalist who wrote the very first story about the eurodollar almost got shut down, the offshore banks wanted to silence him. I don't remember his name, watch Eurodollar University and it'll come up every so often.

Talks extensively about the offshore tax havens in the remnants of Britain's empire (Caymans, Bermuda, Jersey, etc), the structures used to obfuscate ownership of wealth, the city of London, eurodollar market, etc.
Good documentary on understanding the basics of that shit.

The director of the documentary (Michael Oswald) also did an adaption of the book "The Princes of the Yen" which deals with the Bank of Japan's involvement in manufacturing the late 80s - early 90s Japanese bubble and subsequent recession -

This is a huge understatement but a well-meaning one. All dollars are eurodollars. There is no longer, effectively, any dollars "on shore." The rehypothecation scenarios to which eurodollars and their linked T-bills are subject makes them invaluable to banks everywhere; and all dollars touch on these schemes.

Nothing is competing with the dollar; not the yen or euro or bitcoin. It is the liquidity instrument of the global judeo-masonic banking empire of the world. Everything else is just local scrip, even today. And the euro is basically a proto-CBDC, a kind of anti-currency, like Spartan iron rods.

This jeff's eurodollar thing is relatively straightforward, he's just utterly shit at explaining it and we all know that saying about geniuses and explanations. Anyway it goes something along the lines of:

1. Eurodollars aren't actual dollars, they are just entries on balance sheets of a whole bunch of offshore banks that all agree(pretend) amongst each other they do indeed own dollars(what they actually own are dollar denominated assets and liabilities).
2. The system works really well in good times since the banks can just expand their balance sheets and create more dollars out of thin air. Hurray, everyone has buttloads of money to invest in economically super productive ventures!!
You've been here since '07 ---> 3. In bad times when shit isn't growing exponentially forever and everyone wants to cash out, surprise, surprise, there isn't actually any dollars in the system. This means that those dollar denominated assets on banks' balance sheets that they were pretending are as good as actual dollars are in reality worth only a fraction of the value if you actually try to get real dollars for them.

It's kinda like fractional reserve lending but on steroids, international, and instead of gold being that fractional reserve it's actually dollar denominated """assets""".

kek, this is very true.

Mostly agree with the rest of what you said, except you missed out Jeff's favourite word, collateral.
Which, for anyone who hasn't watched eurodollar university, is basically what is *meant* to back those synthetic dollars.
The problem there is now is a lack of "pristine collateral" (to borrow Jeff's term), so that means the amount of dollars available for lending are not going up anymore.

>>51574692
fuck off spastic. there's a wikipedia link, it's obviously put there by the all-powerful glowniggers isn't it.

>>51574763
Yeah I was gonna say something like this, they are actual dollars i.e. they are valued 1:1 to US "onshore" dollars, but the anon has a point about how they just exist as entries on the ledger system the offshore banks control.
It's a lot like DeFi crypto in many ways, when I first started learning about it, that's what it reminded me of.

>> No.51574929

>>51574808
Again it's a mistake to separate "on shore" and "off shore" in terms of the dollar. One has more regulation, but the dollar itself, the liquidity instrument, is fluid, is like water. This ties in with a lot of history surrounding maritime law and fraud and our friendly Jews, in the building of "the West." Dollars are liquid instruments of the maritime banking cabal.

The thing abour collateral is it means these liquid instruments--dollars--are so valuable you demand more and more assets to loan them out.

It's just two sides of the same coin. The dollars are balance sheet space. They could expand their sheets more if they wanted but since the ponzi is ending people(other banks) would want tangible shit for dealing with you and you can't have that since you're sitting on a bunch of worthless collateral and you will implode if you rock the boat too much.
