There must be an M1 for Bitcoin. It's just that nobody knows what it is ;-)

I wouldn't be that sure. I don't think there's any entity practicing fractional reserves with bitcoin right now. You can't even have serious loans quoted in bitcoins, due to the volatility. But well, who knows...

This guy is definitely saying that Bitcoin money supply (market cap) should be compared with "monetary base" (MB or M0) ...

I've been saying this for a while too. But I haven't seen any list of all currencies' M0s so far.

I don't think it hugely matters. The fractional reserve lending component in the BTC economy must be fairly trivial, so the Bitcoin M1 is unlikely to be much larger than the Bitcoin M0.

It doesn't matter because the whole comparison is just for fun anyway.

But the metric that is being used on the bitcoin side (all bitcoins issued) is its monetary base, its M0. And the metric that's being used on the other side is the M1 of fiat currencies. IMHO it would be more accurate to use M0 on both sides, since there's no M1 for Bitcoin.

BUMP!

I've created a real time calculator for Bitcoin vs. Narrow Money Stock (M1) of all other currencies.

See: http://www.resallex.com/bitcoin/bmix

This is really cool!!!

Yeah Terpie, this is awesome! Did you create the rest of the site too? I especially liked the transaction volume bar charts comparing bitcoin to Visa, WU, etc!

One suggestion: on the plots where you show bitcoin market cap vs M1 money supplies, it would be nice to be able to adjust the time scales. I'd love to see where we have come from and imagine where we might be going!

Thanks again!

This guy is definitely saying that Bitcoin money supply (market cap) should be compared with "monetary base" (MB or M0) ... but it's not clear that the CIA usage of M1 for "stock of narrow money" is used widely anyway.

What should not be done is to compare the Bitcoin monetary base to the M1 money supply of fiat currencies. As long as there are no figures on the total outstanding Bitcoin loan volume available, we won’t know what Bitcoin M1 is. We would need to sum up mined Bitcoins and outstanding Bitcoin loan volume in order to get Bitcoin M1. As we have seen on the Euro zone example, the larger part of M1 is created from lending. A comparison of the Bitcoin monetary base with M1 of other currencies would try to compare two incomparable figures.

Nice! Thanks. Maybe you could turn the country names into google image search links, to fully automate the activity in this thread.

Or, put there some TripAdvisor links, and maybe even monetize on clicks (not sure if this is possible?).
