 Is the US number debt or M2 money. 

Because if it’s debt, it is incorrect and should be $35.1T

if it’s M2, then assuming correct, you need to subtract the debt (the last time I checked, debt was a negative).

Therefore the US becomes: -$8.2T

I haven’t checked any other figures.

Bitcoin solves this 😂

 nope u missed it - no M2 or DEBT in above at all - all nominal #GDP - GDP can be calculated in many ways

ur calc not sure if can deduct- GDP not fixed yearly money circulating - debt is FIXED(growing cannot shrink unless repaid)

US GDP is fake another reason - inv banks derivative desks $$$ is included in that which algo trading no real economic output #financialization > real GDP
