How could this possibly be true? :ast I checked, GDP for the US was about 10 trillion bucks a year, the combined GDP of every nation on earth per year can't be more than 100 trillion, most of which doesn't involve anything crosiing a border, so how can there possibly be trillions of dollars worth of foreign exchange a day?
