sa.

The Bitcoin is in the Mail
The BITCOIN is in the MAIL
20-8
• Bitcoin is a digital currency
created in 2008.
• It is attractive to many users
because there is no central
regulating authority.
• Transactions are between only
two people without middlemen.
• This, however, makes valuing
Bitcoin difficult.
Chapter 20 - Money, Financial Institutions, and the Federal Reserve
20-13
3. There are several CLASSIFICATIONS OF THE
MONEY SUPPLY (M-1, M-2, and so on).
a. M-1 is money that can be accessed quickly
and easily (coins and paper bills, checks,
traveler’s checks, etc.).
b. M-2 is money included in M-1 plus money
that may take a little more time to obtain
(savings accounts, money market accounts,
mutual funds, certificates of deposit, and the
like).
c. M-2 is the most commonly used definition of
money.
d. M-3 is M-2 plus big deposits like institutional
money market funds.
D. MANAGING INFLATION AND THE MONEY SUP-
PLY
1. If TOO MUCH MONEY is available, prices go
up: INFLATION (too much money chasing too
few goods).
2. If TOO LITTLE MONEY is available, prices
would go down: DEFLATION.
3. The prices of goods and services can be man-
aged somewhat by controlling the amount of
money available in the economy.
E. THE GLOBAL EXCHANGE OF MONEY
1. FALLING DOLLAR means that the amount of
goods and services you can buy with a dollar
GOES DOWN.

2. RISING DOLLAR means that the amount of
goods and services you can buy with a dollar
GOES UP.
3. For example, a strong euro would drive up the
cost of cars from Germany.

POSITION OF THE U.S. ECONOMY relative to
other economies.
a. In a STRONG ECONOMY, the demand for
dollars is high and the value of the dollar ris-
es.
b. When the country’s economy is perceived as
WEAKENING, the demand for the dollar de-
clines and the value of the dollar falls.

MONEY SUPPLY to try to keep the U.S. economy
from growing too fast or too slowly.
