1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back. You are listening to another episode 2 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: of the Mark Mos Show, where we talk about the 3 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: decentralized revolution each and every week, and of course talking 4 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,960 Speaker 1: about through the lens of politics, finance, and technology. The 5 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: technology being the decentralized technology of bitcoin and we see 6 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: how that changes the world. Now, I try to bring 7 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 1: to you some education so you can kind of understand 8 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: things a little bit differently than what they're being presented. 9 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 1: Some of the latest breaking news, y're up to date, 10 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: and that is exactly what I want to dig into 11 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: today each and every week. I mean, things are just 12 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: happening so fast, so you've gotta stay on top of this. 13 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: And this week we saw an anniversary, a big anniversary, 14 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: one that I was super excited to see. I'm talking 15 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: about the one year anniversary of El Salvador adopting bitcoin 16 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 1: as a reserve currency. Now a lot of people listen 17 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: to this might go, yeah, but mark bitcoins down. You know, 18 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: from it's all time high. It's a horrible store of 19 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: value or medium exchange. And look how farst down on etcetera. 20 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: You are looking at bitcoin purely for its US d 21 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: U S dollar valuation um as opposed to an alternative 22 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: payment system that it really is. You're also trying to 23 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 1: look at a new technology by looking at the wrong things. 24 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: As I've said many many times, the way that you 25 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: look at a new technology is not the US dollar valuation. 26 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: You look at it through the growth of the network 27 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: and the development that's happening on the network. So like 28 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: with Uber, for example, people invested into it um You 29 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: know in Silicon Valley a decade ago, it was not 30 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 1: publicly traded. Nobody knew what the price of um Uber 31 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: was for the first decade. And imagine if you did. 32 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: Every time they got a new city or got a 33 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: protest from a city, the price would go up and down. Instead, 34 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: you looked at the growth. Are they adding more drivers, 35 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: are they getting more riders, are they getting more app downloads? 36 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: And look at the development on the on the network, 37 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: like now they have Uber Eat they deliver food and 38 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: things like that. And so you want to look at 39 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: it not just the newest dollar terms. And so looking 40 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: at bitcoin being adoption by a nation state is a 41 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: big development on the network. Maybe the US dollar value 42 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: doesn't represent that today, but we stuff to look at that. 43 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: And I want to show you a couple of things 44 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: that showed just that. Now, as somebody who's looking to 45 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: get ahead in life, somebody who wants to invest, who 46 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: wants who wants to uh work in the right direction. 47 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: What I'm always looking for is I'm looking for mismatches, 48 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: a mismatch in the difference between perception and reality. Now, 49 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: those mismatches are our opportunity. Right, So the you know, 50 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: the markets are pretty efficient. So you know, we talked 51 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: about the stock markets. You know, are they pricing in 52 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: um you know more rate increases? Are they pricing in 53 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: these bad things? Because the markets are always trying to 54 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: figure this out. What we're looking for the opportunity is, 55 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 1: why would the market think this thing is actually worth 56 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: way different, way less, or way more than I think 57 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: it is. So UM Tesla stock, for example, there's no 58 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,399 Speaker 1: reason why Tesla stocks should be worth this much. They're 59 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: worth more than every other car company in the world. 60 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: Look at the problem. Has the markets value in this 61 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 1: but I think the markets really less. That's my opportunity 62 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: to short it. For an example, I'm not saying that's 63 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: the case UM, or we'd look at something opposite. UM. 64 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: Look at you know, real estate markets getting hammered, the 65 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: home building stocks are getting completely hammered as well. But 66 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,119 Speaker 1: I think these homeowner stocks are actually worth way more. 67 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: I think the markets discounting them and they shouldn't be, 68 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna buy homebuilder stocks. So always looking for 69 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: that mismatch. And I think there's a mismatch with bitcoin 70 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: as well. I Um, I put out a tweet and 71 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: what did I say here? I said, Oh, I said 72 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: to a Wall Street trader, bitcoin is just another trading toy, 73 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: but two millions of people living under authoritarian regimes and 74 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: double digit inflation, it's a life draft. Sooner than later 75 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: this will flip. So what I'm saying is is that 76 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: there's a mismatch. Wall Street thinks it's just another risk asset. 77 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: They trade it just like any other tech stock. But 78 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: that's not what it is. So there's a mismatch there. 79 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: It's actually something different. So to millions of people living 80 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: under authority aran regimes in North Korea where are not 81 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: even allowed to have money, it's a life draft. And 82 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: I think that's gonna play out. Now. Back to El Salvador, 83 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: so um the one year anniversary, and it hasn't been 84 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: a smooth route there. The first one. There's a saying 85 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: that as the pioneers always get some arrows in the back. 86 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: So the first mover has to deal with all the problems. 87 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 1: They have to deal with, every bump in the road, 88 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: they have to deal with all the hate. They got 89 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: to deal with the arrows in the back. And that's 90 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: kind of what else Salvador has had to deal with, 91 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: they say. Despite many real stumbles and skeptical mainstream coverage 92 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: of President Boukeley's bitcoin initiative, both tourism numbers and remittance 93 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: usage are already showing meaningful payoffs. So let's break that 94 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: down a minute. Well, I'm gonna break that down a second. 95 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: So what's interesting though, is um this month, and it 96 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: was actually September fifteenth, it marked El Salvador's Independence Day. 97 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: Just like in the United States we have fourth of July, 98 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: they have their own independence day on this date. In 99 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: eighteen twenty one, the UH the Provincial Council of Guatemala 100 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:29,239 Speaker 1: proclaimed the independence of the entire region Central America from 101 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: the Spanish Empire in a document known as the Act 102 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 1: of Independence of Central America. Now what's interesting is we 103 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: basically saw the same thing happen where this month also 104 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: marks the one year anniversary of a more recent independent struggle, 105 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: and that is El Salvador's effort to decouple its economy 106 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: from the US dollar by using a different currency, by 107 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 1: recognizing bitcoin as legal tender. Now uh, it says, in 108 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: part thanks to a very instability bread by American interventions 109 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: in the nineteen eighties. So this would be Oliver North 110 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: and the Sandinistas and the Iran contra. If you don't 111 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: know what that is, you might want to go check 112 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: out as a pretty interesting story. And what we saw 113 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: is that this led to massive in stability. I'm not 114 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 1: gonna dig into that, but basically, um, they they abandoned 115 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: their own currency, their own paceo, and they started to 116 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: move on to the dollars. Happened in finalized in the 117 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: year two thousand and So Al Savadors are kind of 118 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: been running on the dollar, which is a fairly stable currency. Um, 119 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: but they weren't the masters of their own fate. If 120 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: the US Federal Reserve decided to print more money, then 121 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: that would mean mean massive inflation for Al Savador. They 122 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: couldn't control that. Now, it says a sal Savadorian president Bukeley. 123 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: Um looks like he saw the right on the wall. 124 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: When he first in between his Bitcoin law, dollar inflation 125 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: in the the US was barely tacking up the feeder reservice, 126 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: saying we can't get it, we can't get enough inflation. Um. 127 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: And then they finally start getting limit inflations that oh, 128 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: it's temporary, it's temporary, it's it's transitory. Remember that. But 129 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: a year later, now that inflation is looking like a 130 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: more um, intracticable outcome of America's response right to the pandemic. 131 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: So now at the time it was like it's it's 132 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: it's not happening, it's not happening. And now it's gotten really, 133 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: really bad now, Like I said, it hasn't been without 134 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: a few bumps and bruises. Like I said, the pioneers 135 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: got to take the arrows in the back, and so 136 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: El Salvador has certainly done that. Um. There was you know, 137 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: technological glitches with rolling out their A T M s, 138 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: with rolling out their UM their wallets. Right, there's all 139 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: types of problems with that, as you might expect. Um. 140 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: I think people were a little bit too harsh on that. Um. 141 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: The United States arguably the leader of the world and 142 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: in tech. I mean, look what happened when Obama tried 143 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: to roll at the Obamacare website. They spent billions on 144 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: the on the on the website that all it does 145 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: is just match you up with an insurance provider, and 146 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: they couldn't even roll that out. The i r S 147 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: in the United States, the i r S has been 148 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: trying to revamp their software for decades. They consistently every 149 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: single year mess up everybody's tax turns, mail out the 150 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: wrong ones, etcetera. They've been trying to overhaul. They can't 151 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: even get that done. So, I mean, come on, cut 152 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: out of it or a little bit of slack. They 153 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: create a whole new financial system. They had a little 154 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: bit of a little technical glitches. That's okay. But what 155 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: we're starting to see is the silver lining. We're starting 156 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: to see actually some of the good stuff that it's done. 157 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: And I think other nations are going to stand up 158 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: and take notice of this. I want to talk about that. 159 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: I want to talk about also some places in the 160 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: United States and other countries that have already started to 161 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: take the same things. So don't go away. I gotta 162 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 1: I gotta come back in a second and tell you 163 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: that you're listening to the Marketma show. Of course, talking 164 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: about the decentralized revolution, the way the world is changing 165 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: through the lens of politics, finance, and technology, the technology 166 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: being bitcoin that we are talking about in El Salvador, 167 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: but it's also happening in the United States and other nations. Again, 168 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: the dollar prices a distraction. Look at this. I'll be 169 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: back to explain that and more in a minute. Don't 170 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 1: go away, I'll be right back. All right, welcome back. 171 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Mark Mashue if you're just 172 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: tuning in. We talked about each and every week, the 173 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 1: decentralized revolution, the way the world changes from centralization to 174 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: decentralization through the lens of politics, finance, and technology, and 175 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: I guess we're talking about all three. As we was 176 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: trying to do, I try to find the convergence of 177 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: those three. And so we're talking about the politics of 178 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: a nation like El Savador getting off of their colonial money, 179 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: off of their US dollar and setting up their own 180 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,839 Speaker 1: financial system. That's political, it's also financial. They're changing in 181 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: their financial system, and of course it's technology. It's off 182 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: of bitcoin, which is a technological revolution. Now, again, as 183 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: I've said, there's been plenty of naysayers and granted, there's 184 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: been plenty of ammunition for these nasairs because there's been 185 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: lots of bumps in the road, as you would expect. 186 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 1: As I said before the break, I mean, the Obamacare 187 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: Initiative tried to roll out a new website to help 188 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: you find an entrance provider. They couldn't even get that 189 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: done with billions of dollars. And the US is arguably 190 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: the leader in the world, especially when it comes to technology, 191 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: and so they did a whole new financial system. They 192 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 1: had a couple of bumps in the road. Uh great, 193 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,599 Speaker 1: uh ammo for the haters. But there's things that we 194 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 1: want to look at. So what do we want to 195 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: look at? What are the good things? Well, we want 196 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: to look at a couple of things. One, bitcoin's ability 197 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: to send remittances from abroad. So what do I mean 198 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: by that? So, uh, if you're in the United States, 199 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: you don't get this unless you've traveled the world alive. 200 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: Most of the world has to send their family, their 201 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: loved ones somewhere else like America to earn money that 202 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: hopefully gets sent back to them. El Salvador is no 203 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: different than most other countries. About thirty percent of their 204 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: gross domestic product about thirty percent of all the money 205 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: that El Salvador received eaves comes from remittances, comes from 206 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: other people in other parts of the world, mostly the 207 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 1: United States, sending money back home. Now, how do they 208 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: do that, Well, you can do it through Western Union. 209 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: You can go to the bank, wait in line, pull 210 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: out cash. Driving your car, go to the bank, wait 211 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: in line, given um. Or go to the grocery store, 212 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: wait in line, give them the cash. Fill out the 213 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: form for Western Union UM lose you of your money. Then, 214 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: as bad as that is, that might take an hour 215 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: out of my time, it's even worse than El Salvador, 216 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: because now they live in some rural town. They gotta 217 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: get on a bus. They gotta drive on a bus 218 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: hours potentially to get to the city where they can 219 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: now claim that money. Now they got to write hours 220 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: back on a bus with cash and hopefully don't get robbed, 221 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: and they've had to lose you know, depends on the 222 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: dollar amount, but or more in fees. So they had 223 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: to waste an entire day, they have the risk of 224 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: getting robbed, and they've had to give up the money. 225 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 1: But with bitcoin, literally I don't have to go to 226 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: the bank, I don't have to go to go to 227 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 1: the store, I have to go to Western Union and 228 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: I can click a button and they can instantly have money, 229 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: and they can have it in their bedroom, in their 230 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: underwear in bed without having to get on a bus 231 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: and do any of that. Pretty good, right, And it 232 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: can be done for free, pretty much free, instead of 233 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: having to give up and so that has been a 234 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: big thing. As a matter of fact, it says in 235 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: May of this year UM almost two percent of remittances 236 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: to El Salvador, almost a hundred million dollars were sent 237 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: via bitcoin in the eight months following the Bitcoin long 238 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: So in the first eight months, almost almost a hundred 239 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: million dollars about two percent of remittances were sent via bitcoin. 240 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: Now I get it, Well, a hundred million does sound 241 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 1: like a lot of money. Two percent of the remittances 242 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: doesn't sound like a lot. I get it. It's small. 243 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: But you have to understand the way technology and adoption 244 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: curves work. There's something called an S curve. So anytime 245 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: there's a new technology, it takes time to be adopted. Um, 246 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 1: it took the telephone over eighty years to reach eight 247 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: percent adoption. Now, why would it take so long to 248 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: get a telephone. Telephones are easy. There's no risk in 249 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: using the telephone, microwaves, washing machines, TVs, color TVs, the Internet. 250 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: The Internet took decades to get to adoption, so to 251 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: get two adoption within the first eight months is pretty 252 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: dang fast. It's pretty dang fast. So it's happening now. 253 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: Like I said, if you understand adoption curves and human behavior, 254 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 1: you'll understand how important that is. Now, what about the 255 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: dollar impact. Well, I already explained to you the time, commitment, 256 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: to risk commitments, all that. But Salvadorians at home and 257 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: abroad reportedly spend about four hundred million per year just 258 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 1: on the fees for the remittances. So if you want 259 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: to send money back home, about four hundred million goes 260 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: to Western Union. Doesn't help out Salvador. Doesn't help the 261 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: people that need the money. They goes to Western Union. Now, 262 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: according to the World Bank, remittance fees to El Salvador 263 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: averaged about three percent in which is low in global terms. 264 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: I think that's um, I think that's very low. I 265 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: think that's a little bit lower than reality. Um. You 266 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: have to understand that most of these have like fixed fees. 267 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: So if you send ten bucks or twenty bucks, it's 268 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: a very high percentage. If you send a million bucks, 269 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: it's a very low percentage, so that that gets skewed. 270 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: But the average person is getting remittance fees down there 271 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: are typically getting little bits of money, a hundred bucks 272 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: at a time something like that. All right, But um 273 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: so if there's four hundred million being spent on remittances 274 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: on fees, even a small reduction in that is wanted, right, 275 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: And like I said, the bitcoin fees are basically free. 276 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: You can basically send bitcoin instant and near free using 277 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: the Lightning network. Now if you combine, uh, if you 278 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: even just half the price, let's say that you could 279 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: just cut the fees in half, which you can cut 280 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: them way more in half than that. Let's say you 281 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: just cut them in half. Um, you can see that 282 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: the Salvadoran saved a bit under four million dollars and 283 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: remittance fees by transitioning to bitcoin just in the first 284 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: eight months. So those people that got that money was 285 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: only two percent, wasn't a lot of them. Um, they 286 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: saved four million dollars. Now, if you've ever been to 287 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: El Salvador, it's one of the it's a very poor nation. 288 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: It's uh, well below the tile. I looked at it before. 289 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: I think it was like a hundred and fifty global 290 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: GDP is very very low. I've been there many times. 291 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: Uh you've you know, you still still see people getting 292 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: around on like oxen and carts down there. Um. I 293 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: love El Salvador, by the way. I've been there many times. 294 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: I've been there surfing, I've been down there working with 295 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: the people in regards to the bitcoin situation. Beautiful place. 296 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: I recommend you go there. It's just very poor. Um. 297 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: So for them to be able to save four million 298 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: dollars and all the time it took, um did not 299 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: have to ride the bus go to town all that, 300 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: that is a really big deal. So what I think 301 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: is that we'll see other nations start to recognize this. 302 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: Wait a minute, they just saved all this money on 303 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: Remen's fees. Now that money comes back to our country 304 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: and can be spent inside our borders. That sounds pretty good. 305 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: I think we'll want that, And so that is spreading. 306 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, now we're seeing um, other 307 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: cities inside the United States and in and and the 308 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: world now starting to adopt this. Now a lot of 309 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: people would go to bitcoin or cryptocurrency and say it's 310 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: never gonna be a money. Uh, it won't be a 311 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: money unless you can pay your taxes in it. We've 312 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: heard that one a lot um. Well, now you can. 313 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: Colorado residents can now use crypto to pay taxes. As 314 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, coloradident residents can now pay state 315 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: taxes with cryptocurrencies according to the state's payment portal. Now, 316 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: they have been talking about this for a while, the 317 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: outline in February, and now it is live and in place, 318 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: which is a pretty big deal. So and other states 319 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: have done it. Florida and Ohio are testing this out. 320 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: And in South America, Argentina and Buenos Ares said that 321 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: they're going to allow crypto payment for taxes. So it's coming. 322 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: There's a mismatch in the market. The US dollar prices down, 323 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: but nations states are adopting it. States in the United 324 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 1: States are adopting it, and that mismatch will catch up 325 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: in a due time. Now you're listening to the marketma show, 326 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: we're talking about the decentralized revolution. This is coming. Whether 327 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: you like it or not, you better get ready for it. 328 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,479 Speaker 1: I'm giving you the play by play as we look 329 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 1: at it through the lens of politics, finance, and technology. 330 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: Each and every week it's big the mismatches here. Eventually 331 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: this will catch up like that tweet that I read you, 332 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 1: which is right now. It's being traded like a Wall 333 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: Street trading toy, but two millions of people living under 334 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: authority turn regimes. It is a life draft. Anyway, you're 335 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: listening to the Market Moa show. I got a whole 336 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: lot more to cover when I get back, specifically about 337 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: the inflation and some things that were said this week 338 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: that makes us all extremists. I'll be back with more 339 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: in a minute. Don't go away, all right, welcome back. 340 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Markma Show. We are talking 341 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: about the decentralized revolution, the way the world is changing 342 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: right before our eyes. And of course we look at 343 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: the signposts as I like to call them, and we 344 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: look at it through lends of politics, finance, and technology. 345 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 1: And I'm always looking for the intersection of those three 346 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 1: things that show us how the world is changing. Now 347 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: we talked, I talk a lot about all the time 348 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: how the world has changed. One system that we have 349 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: is dying, the centralized system, the centralized system of control 350 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,959 Speaker 1: through politics, and centralized control system through money, the financial system. 351 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: It's all dying and we can see us dying all 352 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: around us. And we can really see it through inflation. Now, 353 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: even the Central Bank of the United States, the Federal Reserve, 354 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: was saying, we can't get inflation. We can't get inflation. 355 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: H Jerome Palace said, we're gonna let it run hot. 356 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 1: We're gonna let it. We're gonna overshoot our target and 357 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: then we'll um average it out. We'll just we'll just 358 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: average it out right um. And now then it went 359 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: to what we're getting inflation. But it's scary. We don't worry. 360 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,959 Speaker 1: It's it's transitor. It's gonna go away to whole Shoot, 361 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 1: it's it's really bad, and we're in a bad situation. 362 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,479 Speaker 1: Of course, here we are a year later, and it 363 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: is really really bad. Um. And it's showing that the 364 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: system that we have, the financial system that we have today, 365 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: run by the political system that we have today, is 366 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,360 Speaker 1: on its way out. They are at the proverbial rock 367 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: in a hard place. There is nowhere left for them 368 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: to go. If they don't continue to inflate the monetary system, 369 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: the whole system falls apart. But if they do contend 370 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: to inflate the monetary system, then inflation continues to rage on. 371 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,199 Speaker 1: They're stuck in what is called this proverbial rock on 372 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: a hard place. Now, this week, the President of the 373 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 1: United States, Joe Biden, was sat down with sixty Minutes 374 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 1: to talk about this very situation. And I want to 375 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: play a clip of what he says. Mr President. Actually, no, 376 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 1: last Tuesday, the annual inflation and rate came in at 377 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 1: eight point three. The stock market nose dive. People are 378 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: shocked by their grocery bills. What can you do better 379 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 1: and faster? Well, first of all, let's put this in perspective. 380 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: Inflation rate month month was just just an inch. So um, 381 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: I mean to have somebody and mainstream media have to 382 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: question President Biden about this. Kind of shows how much 383 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: as his impacting people. He said that people are shocked, 384 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,199 Speaker 1: they're having trouble paying their bills. What what can you 385 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: say about that? And President Biden wants to take this 386 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: and put into perspective, which I always like to do. 387 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: You always understand, whenever I talk about one thing, I 388 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 1: always want to show you the perspective of it. So 389 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: he says, let's let's understand this from the right perspective. 390 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: First of all, First of all, inflation is only up 391 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: an inch. Now, an inch is not a measurement for inflation, 392 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 1: so we don't really know what that means. Of course, 393 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 1: I'm guessing President Biden doesn't know what that means either, 394 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: but only up an inch, he says, that's the perspective. 395 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: But let's hear the rest of what he has to 396 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: say here, let's go in hardly at all. You're not 397 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,959 Speaker 1: arguing that eight point three is good news. No, I'm 398 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: not saying this good news. But it was eight point 399 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: two or eight point two before. I mean, it's not 400 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: you so uh. He's not trying to say eight point 401 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: three was good, but it was eight point two or 402 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: eight point two or eight to improve to eight point 403 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: two before. Here, I am stumbling, just like the president. 404 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: Um so uh No, it was actually nine point one 405 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: and then eight point five and now at eight point three. 406 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: So uh. Anyway, he doesn't really understand. But let's get 407 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: let's let's let's dig into the rest to hear what 408 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: he really has to say about this. For the perspective shift. 409 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: Maybe I can make it sound like all of a sudden, 410 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: my god, it went to eight point two. It's the 411 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 1: highest inflation, right, Mr President in forty years. I got that. 412 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: But guess what we are. We're in a position where 413 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 1: for the last several months it hasn't spiked, and it's 414 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: just barely it's been basically even. So that is the perspective. 415 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,199 Speaker 1: It's up to an astronomical level that people can't afford. 416 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: People can't afford food anymore, as the sixty minute host said, 417 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 1: like they're shocked at the grocery store. But let's put 418 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: it into perspective. We're at a point where it's just 419 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: barely going up anymore. This barely that's okay. No, it's 420 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 1: not okay. People can't afford the prices right now. They're 421 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: not talking about bringing prices back down. He's saying that 422 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: the rate of increase has slowed down. He's not saying 423 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: anything about, oh, we understand the problems. Oh we're doing 424 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 1: things to bring it down. Um. He's like, no, no, 425 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: it's uh, you know, it's just we're getting to the 426 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 1: point where we're just kind of accepting it, right, We're 427 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: just we're just gonna accept it. I guess that's that's 428 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,479 Speaker 1: the good news. That's just going up. The one thing 429 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: that you have to keep in mind too, is that 430 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: this time last year, inflation was a big problem. I 431 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: don't have it up in front of me. I'm guessing, Uh, 432 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: this time last year it was about five or six percent, 433 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: which was in saying because we had no inflation for years. 434 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: So the reason why I bring that up is if 435 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: we were at five or six percent last year, which 436 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 1: was shocking. It was actually I think I have the 437 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: number right here. I can dig it up real quick. 438 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: I like to always give you the what I like. 439 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: I said, I called the receipts, So here we go. 440 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: All right, Um, so for August of last year, so 441 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: that's what we have. The numbers for August, and I 442 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: was talking about August of last year was five point 443 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: three percent, which was at the time, was a massive number. 444 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: That's when they're saying, don't worry, don't worry, it's gonna 445 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: go back down. Don't worry. It's transitory. Remember that word transitory. 446 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: So that was already massive. Now we're a little bit jaded, 447 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: or we were desensitized, I should say, because now we're 448 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: at you know, nine point ones, and now five point 449 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 1: three sounds easy, but at that time it was insane 450 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: and people were freaking out. And the reason why I 451 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: tell you that is because, um, this is a this 452 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: is a reading year over year, So what does that mean. 453 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: That means that from August of only twenty to August 454 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 1: of one, inflation went up by five point so we 455 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 1: went from you know, uh, we went from a ten 456 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: dollar steak to a twelve dollar steak or thirteen dollar steak. 457 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 1: Now the now, this is again a year over your 458 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 1: increase on top of the five point three. So this 459 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: is compounding. So if it went from August August five 460 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 1: point three, then to go from August to August is 461 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: another eight point three on top of the five point three, 462 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: So this is adding. This is cumulative, and Biden doesn't 463 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 1: seem to care about that. He seems to be out 464 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: out to sleep on that, which is probably why, um, 465 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 1: he has such a poor approval rating. Now I have 466 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: people are obviously unhappy when they can't fill up their 467 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: gas tanks. They can't they can't afford to power their homes. 468 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: We're starting to see that nowhere where the price of 469 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: electricity is getting so high that people can't afford it. Uh. 470 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: People are obviously unhappy when they can't get the same 471 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: quality of food that they've been used to getting and 472 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: all of those things. And that's just you know, people 473 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: are mostly concerned about themselves. Obviously, we can talk about 474 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: the rest Ukraine situation, we can talk about the Taiwan situation, 475 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: we can talk about all these things, but just on 476 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:25,120 Speaker 1: the monetary situation alone, we have a problem. And it's 477 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: pretty interesting because I have this other clip we've seen, 478 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: um Biden coming out and trying to what I would 479 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: what I would say, deflect, right, So they're deflecting. So 480 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 1: instead of saying, hey, we get it, this inflation is 481 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 1: a problem. Uh, we're gonna do something to fix it. 482 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: Instead they say, hey, but look over there, look at 483 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: all these problems. This is our real problem. Over here, 484 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: Like a couple of weeks ago, Biden gave the speech 485 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 1: with the ominous red background. I'm sure you've seen that 486 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: by now, with the two Marines sitting there, and he said, 487 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 1: the real problem we have is the is the Republicans. 488 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 1: The Republicans are extreme US and they're the biggest threat 489 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 1: to our democracy right now now. On the last election, 490 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: Um again, the last election between Trump and Biden, Uh, 491 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: Trump beat all records for voter turnout. Now to put 492 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 1: this into perspective like Biden tried to do. When Obama 493 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: ran for president, Obama broke every voting record. He had 494 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: more people turned out to vote for him than any 495 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: president history. When Trump, when Trump ran, he broke that record. 496 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 1: He had more people turn out and vote for him 497 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: than any president history. When Trump ran again to compete 498 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: against Biden, he broke the record again and got even 499 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 1: more people to vote than any president history. Now, somehow 500 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: Biden beat him barely, And let's just I'm not gonna 501 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: get into whether that's accurate or not, but let's just 502 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: say that it is. We know that at least half 503 00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: the people wanted that. But today or extremists, I want 504 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: to dig into that and show you how this ties 505 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: back in the financial system and signals the end of 506 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: the centralization coming to an end. Um you're listening to 507 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: the Mark Moa Show. If you're just tuning in, we're 508 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: talking about the way the world or the pendulum is 509 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: swinging back from centralization, peak centralization back to decentralization. We 510 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: look at through the lens of politics, finance, and technology, 511 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: really the convergence of those three. I got a whole 512 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: lot to cover when I get back um, a couple 513 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: of things that you do not want to miss really 514 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: signals the end. I'll be back with moren a minute. 515 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: Don't go away, all right, welcome back. You are listening 516 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: to the Mark Moa Show. We're talking about the decentralized 517 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: revolution each and every week, the way the world is 518 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: changing through politics, finance, and technology. I was talking about 519 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: before the break, we've been talking about how, um, how 520 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 1: inflation is just ripping things apart, and all of these 521 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: things just signal the end is coming. There's not a 522 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: lot that we can do about inflation. Um. Like I said, 523 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: the central banks are at their end of what they 524 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: can do. If they stop printing, the system collapses. If 525 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: they continue to print, then inflation rages on. And so 526 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 1: they're stuck between this probably rock and hard place, which 527 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: is why you have Biden going on sixty minutes and 528 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 1: saying but but but it's barely going up anymore. It's 529 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: just it's just slow. Uh No, it's not. As a 530 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,199 Speaker 1: matter of fact, like I said, it's compounding. But like 531 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: I said, this goes on to show why two things. 532 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,360 Speaker 1: One the approval rating is so low, but to why 533 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 1: they need to control the narrative so hard. And so 534 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: what we're seeing is as this pendulum reaches maxes out 535 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: at centralization, the u N, the I m F, the 536 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: World Economic Form, the World Health Organization, the European Union, 537 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: the e c B, et cetera. What's happening though, is 538 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: they need to control the narrative. They need to control 539 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: the people. And the more that people are starting to 540 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: wake up and starting to realize this and started to 541 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: share their uh, their discomfort or their distaste, that really 542 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: affects their ability to energy situation, or I should say, 543 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: control the situation. And so what we're seeing over and 544 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: over and over is you don't like how much your 545 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: food or your gas or whatever has gone up, then 546 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: you're a problem. Oh, you don't like the policies that 547 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: I'm put into place. You don't like the fact that 548 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: I've shut down all the energy and now your energy 549 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: bills are more expensive. You're part of the problem. You're 550 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: an extremist. If you don't like what I have to say, 551 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: you're against the democracy. You're a threat to democracy. First 552 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: of all, democracy means the will of the people. It's 553 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: what the people want, and so you should listen to 554 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: all the people. And then it's a majority rule. Now, 555 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of democracy because it's a majority rule, 556 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: and really what it is is the minority, the tyranny 557 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: of the minority for by the majority. So if ten 558 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: of us all got together and six or seven of 559 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: us agreed that you should just give us all your money, 560 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: that's democracy. But if if there's two or three people 561 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: out of the ten that don't want to give up 562 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: their money, they're a threat to the democracy. You see 563 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: how that works. Now, the United States is not democracy. 564 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: Remember if you said the pledge of leadings growing up 565 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: and to the republic for which it stands, or a 566 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: representative government. But they keep saying it as a threat 567 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: to our democracy. Like I was saying, Biden gave this 568 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: speech with the ominous red background of the Marines back 569 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: there and saying the maga Republicans are the threat to 570 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: the democracy. They're a threat their extremists, extremists. Now, as 571 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: I was saying, before the break, we saw more. We 572 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: saw all voting turnout records broken by Trump in this 573 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: last election. Now Biden edged him out some um. And 574 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,479 Speaker 1: even if you believe that to be true, then at 575 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: least says about half and half half the country wants 576 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: to go with um the Republican viewpoints. I don't even 577 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: want to say Trump, UM, I'll just come out and 578 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: say it right here. Uh. I probably would hope that 579 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: Trump doesn't run again. I think he's probably more of 580 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: a distraction than anybody. I do think he wants what's 581 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: best for the country, but I hope that he doesn't. 582 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: Hope that he sits this one out. But that being said, 583 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: about half the country wants that. But he's saying, you're 584 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: an extremist. If you don't want what they want, you're 585 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: an extremist. And it's not just the President of States. 586 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: Let me let me play you this clip I have 587 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: queued up. This is the White House Press secretary, and 588 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: let's hear when she was asked, what is an extremist? Again, 589 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: we see a majority of Americans who disagree, and so 590 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: when you are not with where majority of Americans are, 591 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: then you know that is extreme. That is an extreme 592 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:40,239 Speaker 1: way of thinking. So if you're not where the majority is, 593 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: you're extreme. So what's what's the majority? Fifteent? So a 594 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: forty nine of the people want something different that's extreme? 595 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 1: Is that the case that she's making? Oh, Mark, you're 596 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 1: being crazy? Okay, is it sixty forty? I mean that 597 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: was her words. The White House Press Secretary Korean Jean 598 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: brier Uh. He says, if you're not with the majority, 599 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: you're an extremist. Now, all progress in life comes from 600 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: not being with the majority. Every single scientist, every single 601 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: person in the world said man would never fly. But 602 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: the right brothers, we're out of that consensus. They said, no, 603 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: we think that man could fly, and they went out 604 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: and proved that right. We can look at it with gravity, 605 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: we can look at it with penicillin. All of these inventions, 606 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 1: all of these breakthroughs came because somebody dared go against 607 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: what the consensus was. For all of history, no one 608 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: had ever been able to run a mile in less 609 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: than four minutes. There was against the consensus. It's not done. 610 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: People thought it was just impossible for a human to 611 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: run that fast. Then one day someone believed he could, 612 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: and he did and within that time I don't have 613 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: it in front of me, but within within a few 614 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: short years, like multiple people were breaking it. And now 615 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 1: today the four minute miles just considered normal. So all 616 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: progress comes from believing you can do something that most 617 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: people think you can't. That's going against the consensus, but 618 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: that is an extremist. Now, I would like to say 619 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: that if that's the case, well, per this new poll, 620 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's approval is thirty nine percent of Americans approve 621 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: of President Joe Biden. So does that mean he's the extremist? 622 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,719 Speaker 1: Does that mean that the Biden administration, anybody that supports 623 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, including the White House Press Secretary, are they 624 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: now extreme because that's not what the majority wants. Thirty 625 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 1: only thirty nine percent to prove. If proved, that means 626 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: sixty one don't approve he's the extremist. You see how 627 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: crazy that is. Now it's not just the United States. 628 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: We're witnessing the end of sensualization. No in in uh, 629 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: in Iran right now, they've been marching in the streets. 630 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: They're streaming death to the dictator, Death to dictator. Why 631 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: because they I think they killed some woman you know 632 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: over she wouldn't wear her head dressing um. All over 633 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: the world, we're seeing this. In Canada, we're seeing this. Uh. 634 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: What's been trending on Twitter is a hashtag that says 635 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 1: Trudeau must go. So lots of people in Canada are 636 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: not happy with President Trudeau, he is trying to be 637 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 1: I mean, I played a clip for you before he 638 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:29,359 Speaker 1: basically praised China for being communist. He wished he could 639 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: run Canada like the Chinese Communist Party does. He said 640 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: that he's shown that through what he's done with the 641 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: pandemic response, what he did with the truckers and so forth. 642 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,880 Speaker 1: So there's lots of people that don't like him, and 643 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,479 Speaker 1: so there's viral trends sweeping over Canada. Like I said, 644 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,760 Speaker 1: all across um Twitter, where people are using the hashtag 645 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: Trudeau must go. Lots of Canadians that I know personally 646 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: are using that. But Trudeau he thinks that those people 647 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: are are extremists. Anyone who would post that, he says 648 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 1: our quote extremists. Now, the hashtag became popular in um 649 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 1: in the Canadian media, and Twitter's head of Sight and 650 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 1: Integrity reported there was no evidence of substantial bought activity. 651 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,320 Speaker 1: But Trudeau has come out and said that it must 652 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 1: be Russian bots, it must be Russian interference that's doing that. 653 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: But that's not the case. The post tend to incorporate 654 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: anything that says, according to to Trudeau, I'm an extremist. 655 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 1: So now because of this Now people are coming out 656 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: and actually putting their pictures, putting videos on there saying, look, 657 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,800 Speaker 1: Trudeau says I'm an extremist. Trudeau says I'm not. And 658 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 1: they're coming out and saying that over and over and over. 659 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: But basically what they're saying is anybody who doesn't go 660 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: along with what we want is an extremist. And this 661 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,879 Speaker 1: is a very scary thing. Now. I talk about this 662 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: because this is the sign of our centralized system dying 663 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: and the birth of a new decentralized system being born. 664 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,439 Speaker 1: And we wouldn't have seen it right before our eyes. 665 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 1: And what happens is the more the state loses control 666 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 1: the nation state, the more they try to squeeze, the 667 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,959 Speaker 1: more they try to squeeze, the more people push back, 668 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 1: the more people push back, the more they try to squeeze. 669 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: Each force has an equal and opposite reaction and only 670 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: forces them to ratchet it up. And the more they 671 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 1: ratchet it up, the more they'll actually lose in their grip. 672 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: That's the way it goes. It's the way we've seen 673 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: it throughout history. Every authoritarian regime ends up getting more 674 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 1: and more restrictive, more and more harsh to the people. 675 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,880 Speaker 1: Pushed back. They can't deal with anymore, they can't live 676 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: with anymore. They set up parallel structures, parallel societies. The 677 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,879 Speaker 1: system collapses and we start over again. That's exactly what's 678 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 1: happening over That makes sense. You're listening to the Markma 679 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 1: Show talking about the decentralized revolution, giving you the play 680 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 1: by play. That's what I got free today. Thanks so 681 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 1: much for listening. Until next time,
