According to usdebtclock.org, the cryptocurrency market cap of over $2 trillion is bigger than the GDP of 23 of the countries listed on the World Debt Clock page.

The seven countries with a bigger GDP than the Market CAP of cryptocurrencies are the United States ($21.660 trillion), China ($14.864 trillion), Japan ($5.412 trillion), Germany $3.782 trillion), the United Kingdom ($3.272 trillion), India ($3.107 trillion), and France ($2.698 trillion).

Of the countries displayed, the U.S. had the greatest amount of national debt, nearly twice as much as Japan with ($14.7 trillion) and over three times the debt of China at ($8.031 trillion).

With all National Currencies being FIAT (not backed by anything except the word of the government), every country has been printing money on overdrive since the 2008 U.S. Housing Market collapse which affected the whole world.

This overprinting has devalued the currencies of nearly every country, and when you add in inflation, the buying power of those currencies has drastically been reduced.

CRYPTOCURRENCY MASS ADOPTION

As more banks, financial institutions, and high network individuals put more money into cryptocurrencies, the Market CAP will continue to grow.

As Blockchain technology starts to replace some of the archaic technology in the banking system, some of the cryptocurrencies that ride on blockchain will increase in value.

Now is the best time to get involved with cryptocurrencies as the volatility is starting to ween and prices stabilize.

Cryptocurrency Market CAP Passes $2 Trillion

The growth in cryptocurrencies over the last few years has seen an increase in the value of some coins go up in the 1000s of percent and has generated gains that would take centuries to achieve in the stock market when you look at estimated annual returns of 10 percent.

There are several ways for you to earn with cryptocurrencies:

1. Buy and hold and wait for the price to increase!
2. Cryptocurrency Trading
3. Cryptocurrency Mining
