Why not just print dollars?

[Mobshady24]

a government cant just print money as long as they want, it is still subject to regulations since printing a lot of money can cause inflation to the society, the value of the excessive printed money will go down to the point it has no value just like what happen during the japanese invation in the philippines during world war.

Why borrow dollars and then pay back by printing them?

Why take the long way around?

It does not mean we can do it right away. The paper is expensive, used for printing. We can not be fake because we can be jailed or charged. I also thought that before, when I was a kid, why would not they just print money? But when I grew up? I understand more about everything. It's hard to make money, because it's expensive to make money  .

If money is printed freely then it can be worthwhile because it will make the value of money will drop and no price, the policy certainly takes into account many things.

Why not just print dollars? It should not be done because if people would just print dollars, every would just print it and there would be no empowerment. Nobody will be rich and nobody will be poor if we would all just print dollars. People would be lazy and not work because they don't have to work hard for money because they would just print dollars. And it would be a chaos if that happened.

We "print" dollars all the time, but it's mostly digital creation and is done by the banking system, not ncecessarily the Fed. Fractional reserve banking allows banks to loan 90% of deposits out, and that's how most of the new dollars in the economy are created. As long as the loaned money is being used to create more products and services in the economy that the market as a whole desires, everything is fine, as the loans (which are just a representation of value) are paid back with the new value that has been created. Essentially, value creation has to match dollar creation, otherwise you get a large amount of inflation whereby each dollar represents less value.

The OP is not talking about printing bucks privately and illegally. He's speaking about how the treasury is offering their bonds to the central lender, and as a result producing forex into existence.I believe the point is to deceive individuals about this reality. The truth that they are inflating the currency offer. They don't want people realising.

If we can make greenback just only to print, a lot of men and women will rich and just print the greenback to earn cash. So cash means practically nothing in this planet, since everyone can simply get greenback.

If you can just print a dollar, then it will quickly depreciate. There will be a very high level of inflation. This will make us poor and hungry

It is not as good as you think when priting more dollars. The inflation is the main reason of that and it will make the value of dollar less than it used to. For example, you can buy a bottle of beer with 1 dollar but if you print too much money, a bottle of beer will cost 2 dollar

[Mung1943]

the far more funds is printed, the much less they are well worth. You can not just print cash. Their benefit must be much less than the confirmed

[hpmp]

actually you can print cash. can and must sometimes. It's OK if the country economy is growing and new printed money are supported with new goods and services. No inflation in that situation.

[millgates]

While it is a good point, you simply cannot print off your debt. Printing a lot of money creates inflation, and if there's one thing you don't want as a country, it is inflation. This has happened to many countries before. Huge debt, print money, huge inflation problem. You really don't want this, really.

This is how the government manipulate their fiat by print it. Before we use fiat, people use gold as currency but it is not practically to carry. Then people agree to use banknote ( paper money)  as the representation of gold. So the amount of fiat that can be printing must be the same as the amount of gold. If government just print dollar as many as they want it will dangerous for the economy of the country.

This is equivalent to saying "it's ok to rob people if they still have enough to eat".  Note that in the growth and improved efficiencies paradigm everyone would be GAINING purchasing power and value if the extra weren't being printed.  Instead it's just "no inflation".  Hardly OK if you ask me.

In other words, just because your funbuck is worth the same as it was last year doesn't mean you weren't robbed blind.  It could have been worth 10 times that, but instead that value was transferred to blowing people up, cutting down forests, and building dumbass mcmansions.

print dollars to pay some debt? thats make inflation in the country, inflation is process that money distributed in the country is too much that make money value decreased, for example is now you can buy a drink with $2 if infaltion happen you can pay more for that drink maybe $3 or $4,

[White Christmas]

In order to print or make your own money you need to build an audience that will trust and accept it. Any tender legal or otherwise only has value because a certain group of people put value in it.

Exactly you can print money anytime but the question is would people support it? Before you make money there are many things to be consider, if its okay to your country, to the government and to the people who would going to used it. When your country have a growing economy I think its not that hard to make another type of money because surely it will be supported by lots of people in your country.

[Cryptonodes]

Well, that is precisely what happens.

Money is printed to avoid debt bankruptcy.

[kuckong]

and yes, if all people print the money than price of printer will be rise like gold. and all people will earn printer to be rich man

I will just state my observations in short: Printing too much paper drives a country into inflation. Inflation can ruin the country and destroy its economy. Bitcoin has no real value, but it can be perceived that bitcoin will always be equal to another bitcoin and not to 1200$/1million$, nobody can really determine its perfect value at a perfect time, because there is a difference between price and value.

If there would be a lot of paper money that printed in the market it can be a result for fiat to lose its current and value becasue paper money and also bitcoin much depends it value by the law of price and demand. Where if there is more stock compare to the demand it will just simply results for it to lose its value.

But the rise in price will not be a problem for the one who prints money to himself We need only learn how to make very good copies so that no one can distinguish from the original.

Compare the value and supply of cryptos.

Litecoin total number of coins that will be issued: 84 million.
Bitcoin total number of coins that will be issued: 21 million.
Dash total number of coins that will be issued: 22 million.

The reason litecoin's value is a fraction of dash's value could be litecoin's total supply being so much higher.

That's the issue with printing money. Greater supply typically equates to lower value.

the good point of bitcoin ... is that you can print paper money if you want : https://www.bitaddress.org

and, it's real value !  

You're right that bitcoin can't be printed when more is needed.

You're wrong that bitcoin has real value. The value is perceived because all of us place value upon it...just as we do fiat currency.

There is no tangible thing that supports the value of bitcoin, that can prove there is value to it.

There's no Gold, no Silver, no other tangible item that exists in the world...just the promise that only so much bitcoin can every be mined and that the validity of transactions and balances are verified by the community that uses it.

Every currency as we know it today as no value backing it. The bank basement full of gold is gone long time a good. Currencies as we know are no more than Debt titles.
That we believe will have value to trade for something. Bitcoin is the same but the trust base is not the state or government but a decentralized algorithm...
