"What would you do if thieves entered your home searching for money? I would have searched with them"

"If you burn all of your money, you become poorer." - VSauce Michael, 2013

me: zones out michael: technically, Canada could invade—

"Hey Vsauce, Michael here. How much money is there on earth? Well, money doesn't have any nutritious value. Oh and money is full of cocaine. And as always, thanks for watching."
-
I love how he answers the question in the first six minutes, and the rest of the video is just him going on different topics
-
Zimbabwe homies be like "yeah I listen to 50 cent, or as we call him, five trillion dollars
-
Vsauce is a prime example of how quality content on Youtube will never become irrelevant or unwatchable.
-
In five thousand bank notes, there’s enough for an entire line.... Ferb, I know what we’re gonna do today
-
So by refusing to vote I make everyone else's vote more powerful.
-
An average bank robbery is 10k? That's.......disappointing haha.

That moment when your country has more debt than there is money in the world

God, the whole “money lying around the house” bit in the first couple minutes reminded me of my great great grandma Emma Muilenburg (née Collison) who had a couple thousand (I think) stashed away in various places about her house. It wasn’t uncommon for people to distrust banks with their money back then (she lived from 1903 to 1988). After she passed away and her kids went through her belongings in her house, they found enough money to pay for a her funeral, and even then, there was enough money to split between all three of her kids. It’s just crazy lol

I searched my house. I found nothing.

another example of the reverse Tinkerbell effect is how the very first stall in a public restroom is the cleanest because everyone thinks that that's the one everyone uses and so therefore must be the dirtiest so then they use the middle one and as a result no one ever uses the first stall

My mother always tend to bring up stories how my grand grandfather once have found a bucket of golden coins buried under tree near his fields. Although he had some gold he couldn't swap it for any goods because of war that plagued country so even though he technically was pretty rich he couldn't do a thing with the money and after all he buried it himself under the stove threshold in local bakery which he hadn't told anyone including his own wife or daughter. Finally my grand grandma allowed some fortune seekers to search for it for some money. That's a tale about how money even in the most stable currency sometimes can be worthless.

Video title:how much money is on earth Micheal from vsauce:there is cocaine in money
-
skip to literally any part in the video with Michael's face in it and he will have a slightly different surprised expression
-
