1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,200 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Mark Mass Show, 2 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: where we talk about, of course, the decentralized revolution. We're 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: talking about the way the world is changing from centralization 4 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: to decentralization, from a one global superpower to many, from 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: a global homogeny to bipolar or multipolar. And of course 6 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: we look at this through the lens of politics, finance, 7 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: and technology to get context. But of course below all 8 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: of that sits the money. Money is the source of 9 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: all the power, and so if you can centralize control 10 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: over the money, then you can centralize the control over 11 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: everything else. Now that's why we have heard many, many 12 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: times from the most powerful people in the world, like 13 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,160 Speaker 1: the Rothschild family, like Mayor Rothschild famous he said, give 14 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: me control over the money, and I care not who 15 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: makes the nation's laws. We heard Henry Kissinger's famous words 16 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: where he says, control the food, you control the people, 17 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: control the energy, control the continent, control the money, you 18 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: control the world. And so of course the battle is 19 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: always over money. You know, I've been talking about bitcoin 20 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 1: and cryptocurrencies for whatever seven eight years now, and if 21 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: I had a dollar for every time somebody told me, 22 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: but they will never let something like bitcoin succeed because 23 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: they will never give up control over money. Well, who 24 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: are they? Who are they that won't let bitcoin succeed 25 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: because they don't want to give up control over money? 26 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: Is it the US dollar doesn't want to give up 27 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: control to the Chinese yuan, or to the ECB's euro, 28 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: or the Bank of Russia's remubal or which one doesn't 29 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: want to give up control over money? Because there is 30 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: a battle over money that you need to understand. Now, 31 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: when you go back and you look through history, you'll 32 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: understand that, yes, the dollar has or the dollar is 33 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: the reserve currency of the world today. Hasn't always been 34 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: fiat currencies. Reserve currencies typically last about eighty tow one 35 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: hundred years. Before the dollar, it was the British pounds sterling. 36 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 1: Now it's important to understand that when the dollar took 37 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: over the role of the reserve currency of the world 38 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: from the pound sterling, it was about a thirty or 39 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: forty year process. Now, eventually there was a ruling from 40 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: on high where the world got together in Bretonwoods in 41 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: nineteen forty four said officially, now the dollar is the 42 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: reserve currency. But it started happening thirty to forty years before, 43 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: when when the UK started weakening its currency by taking 44 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: on way too much debt, getting itself into wars, weakening 45 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: its manufacturing base, and all of those other things, and 46 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: so the dollar took over. However, it's important to note 47 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: that while the dollar did take over from the pound 48 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: sterling one hundred years ago, the pound sterling is still 49 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: there today, still being used today. As a matter of fact, 50 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: it's still one of the top three currencies used in 51 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: the world today. So even though it lost its position, 52 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: it's still there. It's worth noting that as we go 53 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,119 Speaker 1: through this, a lot of times people say, like, when 54 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: will the dollar collapse? When will the dollar stop being 55 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: the reserve currency of the world. And I want to say, 56 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: what is your definition of that? You want to know 57 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: when will the dollar collapse? What's your definition of collapsing? 58 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: Because the dollars already down seventy seven percent to bitcoin 59 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: this year, it's already down sixty five percent to the 60 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: S and P five hundred in the last five years. 61 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: It's down fifty eight percent to real estate in the 62 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: last five years. It's down. It's I mean, that's a 63 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: crash to me, my dollars by half as much house 64 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: half as much S and P five hundred, half as 65 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: much gold, half as much gasoline as they did just 66 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: a few years ago. That's a crash. So what's your 67 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: definition of a crash? And so I would ask that 68 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: because it's already happening. But back to the kind of 69 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: point at hand. And so there's this battle over money, 70 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: and so everybody wants to know what is next, what's 71 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: the next reserve currency? Well, if you listen to me 72 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: on a regular basis, you know that I'm talking about 73 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: the decentralized revolution going on from a world of centralization 74 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: to decentralization. So I don't believe there is another next 75 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: reserve currency, fiat reserve currency that the world agrees to 76 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: on high that it's next. Well, when I don't say ever, 77 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: I mean ever's a long time, not in the near future, 78 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: not in the next several decades anyway. So I don't 79 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: believe there is a next to replace the dollar. But 80 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: we know that there's a battle. We know that they're 81 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: fighting over who's coming next. And of course you've seen 82 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: people all over media talking about this. Even Tucker Carlson 83 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: was talking about this on Fox News before he got 84 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: kicked off, and he was talking about the rise of 85 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: the bricks nation. So we have the bricks Brazil, Russia, India, China, 86 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: South Africa and the rise of the bricks. And we've 87 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: seen many many reports. There's headlines that say, like here's 88 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: one on markets Insiders saying that Russia and China are 89 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: brewing up a challenge to dollar dominance by creating a 90 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: new reserve currency. So we see that. So they're trying 91 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: to create a ch ballenge to the dollar. They want 92 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: to have a new reserve currency, the Chinese yuan, Will 93 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: it be the Russian ruble? Will they work together to 94 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: create a new one, right, So they're jockeying for this. 95 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: Now we know that the all the central banks of 96 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: the world, so the US Central Bank, the FED, the BOE, 97 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: the BOJ, the PBOC, et cetera. They are all underneath 98 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: the IMF International Monetary Fund, which is like the central 99 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: bank above central banks. And the IMF creates what's called 100 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: an SDR Special Drawing Rights And in this SDR basket, 101 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: it's a basket of currencies and based off of each 102 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,119 Speaker 1: country and their economic output and the amount of currency 103 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: they have, et cetera, they get a waiting or a 104 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: percentage in this basket. And we saw last year that 105 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: the IMF lifted the yuan's waiting and it went from 106 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: you know, ten point nine percent to twelve point two percent, 107 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: so not massive. It hasn't overtaken the dollar. But again, 108 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: we always want to look at the trend, and the 109 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: trend is that it's growing. It's growing. It's growing. Now 110 00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: that prompted Chinese central banks to pledge to open its 111 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: financial markets. Now why is that important? Well, I'm going 112 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: to come back to this later. Why people say that 113 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: the dollar can't be dethroned because of many things. I'm 114 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: gonna list those off, one of those being open financial markets. 115 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: But here the Chinese saying, Okay, we're gonna do it. 116 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: We're going to open our Chinese our financial markets, which 117 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: we'll see if that happens. But I think it's important 118 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: to understand that as we see China rising to no 119 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: pun in rising, as China has been rising to kind 120 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: of challenge the world and become this economic powerhouse of 121 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: manufacturing and so forth, we see the rise of the bricks, 122 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: we know that things are weakening and we're going from 123 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: this unipolar world. After World War Two, the United States 124 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: emerged as the economic leader in the world. The United 125 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: States was you know, it's it saved itself. It wasn't involved. 126 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it was involved in World War One 127 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: and World War Two, but that was fought over in Europe. 128 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: So Europe, all the countries in Europe were completely ravaged, right, 129 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: Germany and France and you they were all bombed, right. 130 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: Their manufacturing ability was shut down. They spent all their 131 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: money fighting these wars. But the US profited from this. 132 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: Now I've covered this in many other videos and shows 133 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: on this channel, talking about how the United States, particularly 134 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: the banks like JP Morgan, profited from the war by 135 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: playing both sides of it. So the United States came 136 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: out ahead. It fought the war over on other shores. 137 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: And unfortunately, lots of Americans died during those wars. So 138 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: I don't take that lightly. My grandfather fought in World 139 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: War Two. Luckily he didn't give up his life during 140 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: that war. But I don't take that lightly. But the bankers, 141 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: they came out ahead, and the United States government came 142 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: out ahead because America emerged unscathed. And not only did 143 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: emerge unscathed, they managed to accumulate two thirds of all 144 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: the gold in the world at that time, and the 145 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: United States was the manufacturing powerhouse of the world. The 146 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: United States was the leader in global manufacturing and global trade, 147 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: and so because of that, it was able to take 148 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: that position and lead the position of the world. But 149 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: the problem is is that while the US did have 150 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: that dominant position after World War Two, throughout the year since, 151 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: that's changed and we've gone from a unipolar world to 152 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: a multipolar world, to a bipolar world, and now to 153 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: a multipolar world. As a matter of fact, if you 154 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: look at the United States, just in two thousand alone, 155 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: the United States did trade with the majority of the 156 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: world except for some African countries and some Asian countries, 157 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: mostly China. But now fast forward into twenty twenty, you'll 158 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: see that China is now doing trade with all the 159 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: countries in the world except for the North American continent, 160 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 1: which is Mexico, US, and Canada, as well as a 161 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: little bit of Europe. And so that has greatly flip flop. 162 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna explain to you why that's important, But 163 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: i also want to tell you about the technological change 164 00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:00,080 Speaker 1: that's happening that China and the Bank of internwer So 165 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: Settlements is going to use to finally dethrown the dollar. 166 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: If you're just tuning in, you're listening to the Mark 167 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: Mas Show. Of course, we're talking about the decentralized revolution, 168 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: talking about the way the world changes through the lens 169 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: of politics, finance, and technology. So you want to talk 170 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: about why all the reasons why the dollar can't be 171 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: dethroned have just been changed, and what's coming next. You 172 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 1: don't want to miss this. I'm gonna take a quick break. 173 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: I'll be right back. Don't go away, I'll be right back. 174 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: All right, Welcome back. If you're just tune in, you 175 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: were listening to the Mark Mas Show. We're talking, of course, 176 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: about the decentralized revolution, like always, but today we're talking 177 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: about how the money's becoming decentralized, how the dollar has 178 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: been the global reserve currency of the world, and how 179 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: that's changing, going from a unipolar to a bipolar to 180 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: a multipolar world. Now, there's lots of reasons why this 181 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: can't happen, but I think most of those have been resolved. 182 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about that. But really, like I 183 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: was saying, the United States emerged after World War Two 184 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: as this economic power, having the dollar being the strongest 185 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: currency because it was backed by two thirds of the 186 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 1: gold in the world. It was also backed by the 187 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: largest manufacturer and exporter of goods in the world. But 188 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: the problem is, the United States is no longer the 189 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: greatest manufacturer and exporter of goods. The United States is 190 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: probably no longer holding the majority of the gold in 191 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 1: the world. As a matter of fact, nobody really knows 192 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: how much gold the United States holds because they won't 193 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: ever do an audit, which is pretty interesting. You know, 194 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: you always have to ask yourself. You hear these rumors 195 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: running wild, lots of rumors like the US doesn't have 196 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: any gold. In my own opinion, if I had to guess, 197 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 1: which I guess, I'm guessing right now. I don't think 198 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: the United States has the gold they say they have. 199 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: And the reason why I would say that is because 200 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: they said they had the gold. Nineteen forty four, the 201 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: dollar was now pegged to gold thirty five dollars to 202 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: one ounce. I think it was eight thousand tons of gold. 203 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: And then they were forced to defend that. What do 204 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: I mean? They started printing way too many of the 205 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: paper claims, the paper gold certificates the dollars and give 206 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: them out to the world. So the deal was that 207 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: the dollar would always be convertible to gold at thirty 208 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 1: five dollars an ounce. Well, the United States government started 209 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: printing way too many dollars, and the rest of the 210 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: world saw this and said, wait a minute, wait a minute, 211 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: wait a minute, we see what you're doing. The game 212 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: is up here. We don't want these paper dollars. We 213 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: want our gold. And so the world was coming to 214 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: redeem the paper certificates to get the gold back, and 215 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: the United States was trying to defend that peg. Sound familiar, 216 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: you know FTX, Like we've seen this game before. They 217 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 1: were trying to defend that peg, and so they kept 218 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: giving the gold, giving the gold, give the goal, pretending 219 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: like it was no problem. Oh, sure, no problem, everything's fine. 220 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: Here's your gold, here's your goal. Yeah, no big deal, 221 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: here's your goal. Here's your gold, trying to pretend that 222 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 1: they had not done what they had done by printing 223 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: all these dollars, but the world knew it. Finally, France 224 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: sent over its warships to give us to get the gold, like, hey, 225 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: we're done, we want the gold. And at that point 226 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: the United States defaulted on its debt, and President Richard 227 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: Nixon said, nope, enough over close the gold window. You 228 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: could no longer get the gold out anymore. Now. So 229 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: why do I think the United States doesn't have as gold? Well, 230 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: because I know they were defending the PEG, trying to 231 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 1: pretend like nothing was wrong, and finally when France came 232 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: to get the gold, they couldn't deliver the gold. Now 233 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: they could have just said we have it and we 234 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: don't want to give it to you, or they maybe 235 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: don't really have it. We don't know the answer to that, 236 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: but my guess is two parts. One. I know they 237 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 1: were defending the PEG, so they gave up a lot 238 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: of gold. We don't know exactly how much. We don't 239 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: know if it got replaced. But what we also know 240 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: is that they will not audit it. And this is 241 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: where transparency comes in. If they didn't want these rumors 242 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: to run rampant, all they have to do is just 243 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: do an audit. Let some inspectors come in, put the 244 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: cameras on, whatever, show us the gold. If you got 245 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: the gold, show us the gold. But the fact that 246 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: they won't do that tells me that there's probably something 247 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: to hide, right if you can't be If you can't 248 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: be transparent, if you can't tell the truth, then it 249 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: kind of means you have something to hide. And so 250 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: because of those two circumstances, that's my guests. And again, 251 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: like I said, they could just shoot that down by 252 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: just saying that we have the gold. So anyway, that's 253 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: what happened. Now. The key piece to understand after this 254 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,719 Speaker 1: is that you have to kind of understand I talk 255 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: about this many times and a lot of times people 256 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 1: to understand this. But we don't want money, right. Money 257 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: is a medium of exchange. Money allows us to exchange 258 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: our labor. We exert our labor, our ideas, our capital 259 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: to get money dollars in this case, And I know 260 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: there's some peers out there, like Mark, you don't understand 261 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: dollars aren't money. Gold is money, yeah, yeh yeah, Okay, 262 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: you get what I'm saying. So we exchange it for 263 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: money for dollars, but we don't want the dollars. I 264 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: can't eat dollars. Dollars don't you know, bring my family enjoyment. 265 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: What I want is I want that money to buy 266 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: me the things that I want, which is goods and services. 267 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: I want food, I want gas, for my car. I 268 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 1: want a car, I want a house, et cetera. And 269 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: so I want to exchange those for goods and services. 270 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 1: And the reason why that's important to understand is going 271 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: back to the United States becoming this emergent power because 272 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: they produced all the goods and they traded with the world. 273 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: So the US had all the gold and produced the 274 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: majority of the goods in the world, and that was 275 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: important because again, we don't want money, we want the goods. 276 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: So if I go to Chuck E Cheese and I 277 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: want to play a game at Chuck E Cheese, I 278 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: need the Chucky Cheese tokens. I don't want the Chuck 279 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: e Cheese tokens. What I want is I want to 280 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: play one of their games. So I will give them 281 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: my money in exchange for their tokens so that I 282 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: can spend those tokens at Chuck E Cheese playing those games. 283 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: Nobody else in the world is going to accept those 284 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: tokens because what are they going They don't want to 285 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: go play Chuck e Cheese games. It's not a good 286 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: medium exchange, and so it's important to understand that. So 287 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: people would take the dollars because they could give the 288 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: dollars back in exchange for goods. But today the US 289 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: doesn't make the goods anymore. Now China dominates the goods. 290 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: So a lot of dollar bowls will tell you, yeah, 291 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: no country will take other currency. They want the dollars 292 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: because everyone takes dollars. Why would another country take fill 293 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: in the blank with whatever you have currency, Russian rubles, turkers, lira, 294 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: you know, bolevars, whatever, Why would they accept that when 295 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: nobody would take them from them? Why would you accept 296 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: chuck E cheese tokens when nobody will accept those from 297 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: you except Chuki cheese. And so that's a good answer 298 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: except for what can they really do with dollars? Now? 299 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: Other people to accept dollars, but they can't really spend 300 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: those at the dollars at the US at the US 301 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: store because the US doesn't havenyhing they need. Now. China, 302 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: on the other hand, makes all the goods. So that's 303 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: like China is the big chuck E cheese. Now, so 304 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: if China gives me their tokens the Chinese you want, 305 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: I can go spend them in China, and China just 306 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: happens to make the goods that I need. Does that 307 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: make sense? It's important to understand this. And when you 308 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: see this, then you start to understand the holes in 309 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: these dollar bowls logic. So Luke Grahmin, one of my 310 00:15:55,720 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: favorite analysts, he said on Twitter, the flaw in most 311 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: was thinking is that, but the US dollar is still 312 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: eighty eight percent of global foreign currency trading, which it is. 313 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: But the reason why that's wrong is because ninety nine 314 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: point nine percent of the world doesn't care about FX trading. 315 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: What they care about is they care about goods that 316 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: they use in their everyday life. They care about food, gasoline, cars, 317 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: et cetera. And so when we look at this over time, 318 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: we can see just going back to twenty ten, if 319 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: you looked at the world as a pie chart, and 320 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: you looked at the amount of manufactured goods value being 321 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: added to the world in twenty ten, according to the 322 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: World Bank, the United States made up about twenty five percent, 323 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: and China made up about twenty five percent, The Euro 324 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: market made up twenty five percent, and then Japan made 325 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: up maybe thirty percent, and the rest was kind of 326 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: made up between like India, Asia, et cetera. So it 327 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: was pretty even twenty five twenty twenty five US twenty five, 328 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: China twenty five euro and then Japan with about thirty 329 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: and then it kind of spread out. But now fast 330 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: forward ten years to now well eleven to twenty twenty one, 331 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: and we'll see that now China has now moved from 332 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: twenty five percent of the pie to like fifty percent 333 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 1: of the pie. The United States has gone from like 334 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 1: twenty five percent of the pie down to like thirty 335 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: percent of the pie. And so what you see is 336 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: now again the China's Chuck E Cheese store has gotten 337 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: bigger and has most of the goods and service we want. Now, 338 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: the US still has value that goods that exports to 339 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: the world, But what are those? What are those? No? 340 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: We know, you know, if we look at automobiles, for example, 341 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: Japan is this automobile expert. I'm going to break down 342 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: exactly what the US is exporting and you'll start to 343 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: understand what I'm talking about. And then I want to 344 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: tell you, like I said, why Dollarbales think this can happen, 345 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: and how China and the BIS has just changed the game. 346 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: And hint, hint, hint it has to do with the 347 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: c b DC. You don't want to miss this. What 348 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to unveil is brand new data. If you're 349 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: just tuning in, you're listening to the Mark mas Show 350 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: talking about the decentralized Revolution, and we're talking about how 351 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: the dollar, how the currency is being decentralized. The plans 352 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: are just unveiled and I'm gonna explain that to you 353 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 1: when I come back. I'm gonna take a quick break 354 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: and I'll be right back. So don't go away, all right, 355 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: Welcome back. If you just tune in, you're listening to 356 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: the Mark Maus Show. We're talking about, of course, the 357 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: decentralized revolution, how the money is being decentralized in how 358 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 1: the US dollar is getting decentralized away and hint, hint, hint, 359 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: it's China and the BIS and a CBDC that's taking over. 360 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 1: But I'm getting ahead of myself. So remember, nobody wants 361 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: the dollars. We want the goods and services. So the 362 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: US used to be the producer of goods and services, 363 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: and now China is becoming the goods and services. If 364 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: we look at cars, for example, automobile exports, we can 365 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: see Japan has been a massive exporter of cars. Obviously 366 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: you know Toyota, Lexus et cetera. Germany has been a 367 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 1: major exporter of cars, right, what do they have, right, Mercedes, BMW, Volvo, 368 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 1: et cetera. South Korea is a big export of cars. 369 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: And if we look at this chart from just twenty 370 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,719 Speaker 1: ten to twenty twenty two, we'll see that Germany, Japan, 371 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: and so Germany and Japan have fallen off a cliff 372 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: right around twenty nineteen twenty twenty just completely plummeted. South 373 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: Korea has been trending down since about twenty twelve. The 374 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: United States has stayed about flat, but China, starting in 375 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: about twenty twenty, has taken off like a juggernaut. Now 376 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: a lot of cars like Tesla's, for example, are being 377 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: made in China, So that's no wonder why that is 378 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: exploding through the roof. But back to America. What does 379 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: America export? Right? We used to export lots of goods 380 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,439 Speaker 1: and services. Well, let me break that down for you. 381 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 1: So in twenty twenty two, America's five biggest export products 382 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: were number one refined petroleum oils, number two crude oil, 383 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: number three petroleum gases. So the top three out of 384 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: the top five are energy products. Then we have cars, 385 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: and then we have electronic integrated circuits. Now, it's important 386 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: to understand that three of the five biggest products have 387 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: to have to do with energy. We find petroleum, oil, 388 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: petroleum gases. Now why is that important. Well, we're not 389 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: shipping computers or textiles or cars or clothes. We're not 390 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: shipping those types of things. We're literally sending energy. But 391 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: the problem is in the United States, energy is under attack. 392 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 1: The Biden administration has been actively shutting down oil projects, 393 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: drilling projects, and things like that, and so our main 394 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: export that we're trying to export is now being shut down. 395 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: So how's that going to work out? We're already falling 396 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 1: behind because China is exporting more goods. The US is 397 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: still exporting about twenty five percent of the world's goods, 398 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: but it's mostly an energy that we're trying to shut down, 399 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: So that's not good. And then on top of it, 400 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: we as I said, you know, Europe still has a 401 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: pretty decent sized sliver as of you know, twenty twenty one, 402 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: still sitting on about I don't know, twenty five, probably 403 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: about twenty percent or so. If I'm just looking to 404 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 1: pie chart here, about twenty percent of the world's exports, 405 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: which mostly come from Germany. Germany is the economic engine 406 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 1: of Europe down southern Europe. Sorry if you're from there, 407 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: we call this the pigs Portugal, Italy, Greece, Spain. They 408 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: don't really produce anything. They're just barely getting along because 409 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 1: Germany is the engine that's driving it. Ford German manufacturing, right, 410 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: German engineering, and so not only as I said, like 411 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: the car manufacturers, but all types of high tech equipment 412 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: that Germany can make. But the problem is is that 413 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: Germany has a massive problem on their hands, sort of 414 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: like the US, which has been cutting their own cutting 415 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: their nose off to spike their face, cutting off their 416 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: energy plies. Well, that's the same thing that happened in Europe. 417 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: Germany shut down all their nuclear reactors, so their energy 418 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: prices went to the roof. They became dependent on Russia 419 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: for natural gas that got cut off, and so now 420 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: prices in Germany spiked sky high. There's not enough energy, 421 00:21:55,400 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 1: and so I guess we can't manufacture goods anymore. And 422 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: so Germany has been what we say de industrializing. Industrializing 423 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: is when we went from a farm in farm and 424 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: farming cottage industry into actual factories, cities and factories and 425 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: now they're de industrializing because now those factories can't afford 426 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: to run anymore. They don't have the power. So what's happening, Well, 427 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: they can't produce the goods to export. We can see 428 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: headlines all over the place. Germany's leaders and top CEOs 429 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: have arrived in Beijing. They need China now more than ever. Yeah, 430 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: they need they need China to make their products for 431 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: them because they don't have the energy to do that. 432 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: We see one of Germany's largest corporations, B A s 433 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: F have now shut their factories down in Germany and 434 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:48,360 Speaker 1: moved them to China. We can see, you know, through 435 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: all types of trade blocks are when we look at 436 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 1: the trade blocks, we can see that China is just 437 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: taking over more and more. Matthew Pines put out on Twitter. 438 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: By squeezing Germany out of global value chains, China would 439 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: secure a dominant strategic position the tripolar network of exports 440 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: on its way towards a unipolar Chinese dominance. So by 441 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 1: squeezing Germany out of its global value chains, China would 442 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: secure dominant position. So China doesn't have to squeeze Germany out. 443 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: Germany is squeezing itself out by shutting down its own 444 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: power plants, by refusing to get its own energy out 445 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 1: of the ground. Shutting down is nuclear, refusing to get 446 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: its own natural gas put itself dependent on Russia. Now 447 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: they can't even afford energy. They have squeezed themselves out 448 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: of the value chains. The enemy is within the United States, Germany, Europe. 449 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: It's their game to lose. The only way they lose 450 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: the game is by doing it to themselves by literally 451 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,719 Speaker 1: shutting off their own energy, which makes no sense. So 452 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: here we are Germany squeezing itself out out of the 453 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: supply chains and going back to the Chuck E Cheese example. Remember, 454 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: I only want Chuck e Cheese tokens if I want 455 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: to play games from Chuck E Cheese. I only want 456 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: the dollar token or the Chinese token if I can 457 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: get goods from China or the US. But the only 458 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: thing that the US is selling is energy, and the 459 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: US is trying to shut its energy down just like 460 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: Germany did, so which tokens will be more valuable in 461 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,120 Speaker 1: the future. If you want actual things, if you want 462 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: actual goods and services, whoild you rather have Chinese tokens 463 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: or US tokens? And you start to see what's going 464 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: on here. Now, you have to understand that I said, 465 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that say, but this will 466 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 1: never happen, Mark, you don't understand. You don't understand because 467 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,439 Speaker 1: there can never be another currency to take over the 468 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: dollar because of many factors. For example, as I said before, 469 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: the dollar makes up the majority of trade. It's widely accepted, 470 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 1: other people will take it. Nobody wants chuck e cheese 471 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: tokens because nobody takes them. But the dollar is accepted everywhere. 472 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: That's true except for what if China? Why not just 473 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: us him in China? Now, there's four other reasons why 474 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: the dollar won't be unseated anytime soon. But I'm gonna 475 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: tell you why they've just been You served how it happened, 476 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 1: where China and the CBDC fits into all this and more. 477 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: If you just tune in, you're listening to the Mark 478 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: Ma Show. We're talking about the decentralized revolution breaking down, 479 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: how king dollar is losing its seat and not gradually, 480 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: but probably suddenly with one big technological shift that was 481 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: just released by the BIS and China. I'm going to 482 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: break that down, and yeah, we'll talk about how to 483 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: protect yourself back with that and more in a minute. 484 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: Don't away, I'll be right back. Hi, welcome back. If 485 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: you just tune in, you are listening to the Mark 486 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: Maas Show. We're talking about, of course always the decentralized revolution, 487 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: and we're talking about right now now the dollar is 488 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: becoming decentralized, or I should say, there's other solutions besides 489 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: the dollar. Let me say that. So, as I was 490 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: saying before the break, if you've missed any of this, 491 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: don't worry.

Just search the Mark 494 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: Show in your favorite podcast player, or go to the 495 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: YouTube channel Market Disruptors and you can watch me and 496 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 1: listen to me at the same time. All the past 497 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 1: episodes are archived on next to go check it out. Okay, 498 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: So why will no other currency challenge king dollar? Well, 499 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: like I said, one, the dollar is widely accepted. Nobody 500 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 1: wants to take chuck e Cheese tokens for your goods 501 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: and services because nobody else would take those chuck e 502 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: Cheese tokens. But if you accept a dollar, almost anybody 503 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,479 Speaker 1: in the world will take a dollar. Okay, that's number one. 504 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: But as I'm saying, over the last ten years, we've 505 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: seen China just completely blow past the United States as 506 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: leading goods and services. The US is only selling energy. Obviously, 507 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: the dollar is also being sold by the petro dollar 508 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: in Saudi Arabia. But now Saudi Arabia says they're gonna 509 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: start selling energy in other currencies. So why does anybody 510 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: want the dollar now? The other reason why is because 511 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: the dollar has open capital markets. That means I can 512 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,120 Speaker 1: put money in, I can take money out, and China 513 00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: doesn't have open capital markets, and so that's a big problem. However, 514 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: as we talked about earlier in the show, I talked 515 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: about how as the IMF increased the SDR basket for 516 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 1: the Chinese you want, China said that they would start 517 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 1: to open up through capital markets. Now I'll believe it 518 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: when I see it. We're certainly not there yet. But 519 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: that's number two why king dollar won't be replaced, But 520 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: here China is saying they're going to do that. Number 521 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,479 Speaker 1: three is that you need to have a functioning bond market. 522 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: So the United States Treasury is the best asset in 523 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: the world to own. By anybody. You know, these by 524 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,399 Speaker 1: these other central banks, conglomerates, etc. And so you need 525 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 1: to have this functioning bond mark has to be big enough, 526 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 1: has to have enough liquidity, et cetera. You also have 527 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 1: to have the swift system. So the swift system is 528 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 1: what allows the money to go anywhere in the world. 529 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 1: It's why the dollar is so accepted because the dollar 530 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: really above everything is actually a payment network, and so 531 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: it allows dollars to move anywhere in the world. I 532 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: can send a dollar to basically anywhere in the world 533 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: through the swift system. If you ever sent a bank wire, 534 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: then you know what a swift system is. And then finally, 535 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 1: the fifth reason is because of the correspondent banks that 536 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: work within the system to move the money around. So 537 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: you can't just unplug the dollar and plug in the ywan. 538 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 1: You don't have all those other things unless you could 539 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: just bypass all those other things. And that's exactly the 540 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: point that we're talking about. So when technology, when you 541 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: look at the world how we industrialized. Specifically, let's just 542 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 1: jump fast forward. I'm kind of runn out of time here. 543 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: If you fast forward, you look at the United States 544 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: and we had telephones and it took about eighty years 545 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: for the telephones to reach about eighty percent adoption because 546 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 1: you had to literally run wires across the whole country. 547 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 1: That took a long time, it took a lot of money. 548 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: But once we had the telephone lines ran, it was 549 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: much easier and faster to adopt the Internet. The Internet 550 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: worked across phone lines if you remember the old days 551 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: of the Internet. However, in other countries like Africa, for example, 552 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: they didn't have phone lines, so Africa didn't get the Internet, 553 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: so they were kind of left out of that. But 554 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: as soon as we got wireless internet, which is everything's 555 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: done wirelessly now. As soon as we got then Africa 556 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: leapfrog past the US. They didn't ever, they didn't ever 557 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: go to wired phones. They went straight to wire lists. 558 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: And that's exactly where we're at with the money supply. 559 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: So while no other country has the functioning bond market, 560 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 1: the swift system, the correspondent banks, et cetera, what if 561 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: they could just create a new system that doesn't need those, 562 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what we have. So the Bank of 563 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: International Settlements, which is the central bank above all central banks, 564 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: they're the big dog. They're at the top of the 565 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: ORG chart. They're the ones that coordinate all the money 566 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: between the world, and the BIS and China have created 567 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: something new called the m bridge m Bridge and basically 568 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: what this is, it's a cross bridge to move money 569 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: between countries without the wires of what the US system has. 570 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: It allows just like Africa leapfrog pass wired, they went 571 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: straight to wireless, China is bypassing that old financial plumbing 572 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: and just moving to new financial plumbing. And this cross 573 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: central banking digital currency platform really serves four main purposes 574 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: that China really cares about. One, it blocks the ability 575 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: for US to impose sanctions, and it blocks the ability 576 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: for US to surveil all the financial transactions too. It 577 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: builds non USD rails with their key partners, so the 578 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: USD rails are how the money moves, so now they 579 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: don't have to use the US dollar system. They can 580 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: move it on their own with their key trading partners. 581 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: The rest of the bricks. It expands their offshore currency liquidity, 582 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: so now all these countries can just start using their 583 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: currency directly with them without having to go through the 584 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: US dollar rails, without being worried about sanctioned and things 585 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: like that. So it expands liquidy, and finally forth it 586 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: increases their influence over the geoeconomic sphere. So now China 587 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: can have more influence on all these emerging markets because 588 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: these emerging markets either one don't want to use the dollar, 589 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: or two they're not allowed they don't have permission to 590 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: use the dollar because of of course sanctions. And so 591 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: now China can now exert their influence in this sphere 592 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: because now people can just move directly to this currency. 593 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: Now you can find this information on the BIS website. 594 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: It's called imbridge. Just go under projects and you'll see mbridge. 595 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: But some text here says it's pretty important to read 596 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: the payment system underpinning cross border financial flows has not 597 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: kept pace with rapid growth. So what they're saying is 598 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: that the payment system underpinning cross bitter financial flows, which 599 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: is the US plumbing, the old wired phone system, the 600 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: correspondent banks, swift, etc. They're saying that's old and it 601 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: hasn't kept pace with rapid growth. They're saying a global 602 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: network of correspondent banks that facilitates international payments is hindered 603 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: by high costs, the low speed, and transparency and operational complexities. 604 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: So the thing that keeps the dollar in power. This 605 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: global network of correspondent banks is actually the problem that 606 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: they're trying to solve. You see, sort of like phone 607 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: lines where the barrier to speed and now we can 608 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 1: just send five G across the air. And so that 609 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 1: old network that's keeping the US indominant position is actually 610 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: the reason why they need to replace it. And so 611 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: now they can they can fix that, it says. Notably, 612 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: emerging markets and developing economies have a need affordable access 613 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: to the global financial system. So the US has kicked 614 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: a lot of these people out of the financial system. 615 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: They're not allowed to participate, they don't have permission, but 616 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: they need They need to be able to get into 617 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: a global financial system. How do they trade, how do 618 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: they buy and sell goods if they're not allowed in 619 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: which the US doesn't allow them, and so they need access, 620 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: and so they say that a multi CBDC arrangement will 621 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: connect all of them and it offers significant potential to 622 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: improve the current system. So by creating this new inmbridge 623 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: multiple CBDC system, they're able to connect together directly, which 624 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: will give them a big improvement, it says. The BIS 625 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: Innovation Hub Hong Kong the Hong Kong Moneatory Authority, which 626 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: is sort of the one of the capital financial capitals 627 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: of the world, the People's Bank of China of course PBOC, 628 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: and the Central Bank of United Arab Emirates UAE, which 629 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: is of course energy working together to build such a 630 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: multi CBDC platform known as m bridge. So basically they 631 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: have just created a new system to completely bypass the 632 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 1: entire system. Now it's important to understand that this is 633 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: not like one day maybe it could happen. It's here 634 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: like this is this is happening. As a matter of fact, 635 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 1: they launched it and have already run multiple tests and 636 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: they've already been I believe billions of dollars of trade 637 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: have already been settled through this platform. This is something 638 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: that we have to understand. It's here now. I do 639 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: want to let you know. It's a CBDC, yes, but 640 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: it's right now. It's for central banks, it's for commercial banks, 641 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: for state run banks. It's not yet designed for retail CBDCs, 642 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 1: meaning CBDCs that you and I would be using or 643 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: forced to use, I should say, but I say, yet, 644 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,239 Speaker 1: first they got to get it going between themselves. Once 645 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 1: it's up and running, then they can make us use it. 646 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: So this is coming, it's coming fast. The US dollar 647 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: is going to lose dominance. But it is a process, 648 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: not an event. Well, this is an event. This happened 649 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: and it's coming and you need to know. Now, how 650 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 1: do you prepare? How do you protect yourself? Well, you 651 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 1: need to become less reliant on the government. You need 652 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: to become sovereign. The less dependent you can be, the 653 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,720 Speaker 1: better you'll be. That means not depending on their financial system. 654 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: You can use bitcoin, not dependent on their food system. 655 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 1: You can raise your own food or meat farmers that 656 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: are you can not be dependent on their welfare. You 657 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 1: can build your own wealth.
