Google’s parent company, Alphabet, hit a new milestone on Friday: a $2 trillion market cap.

Google is now the world’s fourth most valuable public company, right behind Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft, which has a market cap of just over $3 trillion and overtook Apple earlier this year for first place.

    Paper money is often backed up by nothing. It’s a little scrap of paper that only has value because we’ve all agreed it has value.

      At least paper money it’s something real, what about adding and quitting zeros in a LCD panel? Using it correctly you can make countries go to the fuck and other countries have a great economy. Even more if it’s a centralized economic system.

        so you only use paper money, dont get paid via direct deposit, dont use any modern banking mechanisms like debit cards linked to your bank account?
