Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Mark Moss Show,
Speaker 1: where we talk about bitcoin, we talk about cryptocurrencies, we
Speaker 1: talk about the decentralized revolution that the world is going
Speaker 1: through right now. And there is no shortage of signs
Speaker 1: signposts everywhere we look to see that we are transitioning
Speaker 1: into this decentralized revolution that we're in, and so we're
Speaker 1: literally witnessing the world change right before our very eyes.
Speaker 1: Some of these things are a little more subtle and
Speaker 1: some of them are much more apparent, and those are
Speaker 1: some of the things that I want to talk about today.
Speaker 1: We got a big, big, big, big show to talk about.
Speaker 1: Of course, it all comes down to the money, which
Speaker 1: of course bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are leading that revolution. But
Speaker 1: really it's the intersection between politics, finance, and technology. It's
Speaker 1: the convergence of those three things that's the catalyst for
Speaker 1: all the change that we're seeing in the world right now.
Speaker 1: And I think if if if you look, if you
Speaker 1: know what you're looking for, you're paying attention, you can
Speaker 1: see that, Um, it's not just the world that's changing,
Speaker 1: it's it's uh, I mean, that's changing for the better,
Speaker 1: but it's also changing for the worst. It's like this
Speaker 1: is the best of times and this is the worst
Speaker 1: of times at the same time. And so um. On
Speaker 1: one hand, life has never been better, right, Life expectancy
Speaker 1: is up, and we have wealth. I mean, the poorest
Speaker 1: person in the United States today is richer than the
Speaker 1: richest person in the world a hundred years ago. And
Speaker 1: so we have massive wealth, massive prosperity. Things are great.
Speaker 1: We have computer phones in our pocket that can tell
Speaker 1: us anything in the world. We can do zoom and
Speaker 1: chat with anybody from anywhere in the world instantly. We
Speaker 1: can hop on a plane and flying in where we want.
Speaker 1: So things have never been better. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: things are rapidly d evolving. I recently did a talk
Speaker 1: at my live event that just happened. It was the
Speaker 1: first week of April called Market Disruptors Live, where we
Speaker 1: we have a conference. We get together and bring about
Speaker 1: five hundred people together, bring about fifteen different speakers from
Speaker 1: kind of different areas to talk about, um, what's going
Speaker 1: on in the world, and more importantly, how we to
Speaker 1: navigate through that, how we want to survive and thrive
Speaker 1: really as this world changes. And the it was my
Speaker 1: conference I hosted it. I had the speakers there, But
Speaker 1: I also gave a keynote presentation while I was there,
Speaker 1: and the name would actually say the title of my
Speaker 1: presentation was d evolution re evolution, And so, Um, what
Speaker 1: we're seeing is that although things have never been better,
Speaker 1: we're starting to d evil. Things are starting to move
Speaker 1: backwards at a very rapid rate. However, I see that
Speaker 1: there's re evolution that will happen here shortly once we
Speaker 1: get through this transition. I know a lot of times
Speaker 1: people accuse me of being this um doomsdayre because I
Speaker 1: report the news and the news is mostly bad and
Speaker 1: it's and it is bad. However, Um, one of my
Speaker 1: friends who had recently did an interview with Tucker Max,
Speaker 1: he calls it Dumer optimism. So, yes, there's doom in
Speaker 1: front of us and we're witnessing them, but there's massive
Speaker 1: hope and optimism and hope hope of prosperity on the
Speaker 1: other side, which I believe in. But like I said,
Speaker 1: d evolution is here all around us, and and I
Speaker 1: think it's I was explained to somebody in my office
Speaker 1: earlier today, Um, the implications that aren't commonly seen, and
Speaker 1: so what do I mean by that? So we're de evolving.
Speaker 1: We're seeing the money breaking down, which of course bitcoin
Speaker 1: is here to fix, and which is why we say
Speaker 1: bitcoin fixes that. And by that I mean pretty much everything,
Speaker 1: because everything really revolves around the money. So when the
Speaker 1: money supply breaks down, everything breaks down, including society breaks down.
Speaker 1: So I want to take a look at some of that. Um,
Speaker 1: we'll take a look at that. We'll look at some stats.
Speaker 1: I have some numbers I want to show you explaining
Speaker 1: how that's working. And I want to show you how, um,
Speaker 1: it's affecting things that you wouldn't necessarily think of, Like
Speaker 1: I said, inside society. We'll look at some of the
Speaker 1: unfortunate news that's happened this week. Unfortunately, some bad things
Speaker 1: have happened inside the United States, and uh, I believe
Speaker 1: it or not, it could be traced back to society
Speaker 1: breaking down. Society breaking down because of the money. And
Speaker 1: then I want to talk about some statements that have
Speaker 1: come out of the World I MAC Forum. They've been
Speaker 1: meeting this week over in Davos, Switzerland, the Davos man
Speaker 1: as they're called. These are the the the so called
Speaker 1: the self appointed elites UM that fly on their private
Speaker 1: jets and then want to tell us that we need
Speaker 1: to cut back on energy to save the world. When
Speaker 1: they fly on their private jets, I say so called elites.
Speaker 1: They like to call themselves elites. Um, they're not elite.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't hire any of them to work in my business,
Speaker 1: and I doubt either of you would as well. But
Speaker 1: they are, I guess they're pretty elite and and navigating
Speaker 1: through the political landscape and grifting as we can say. Um. So, anyway,
Speaker 1: there's a couple of quotes that I have prepared for
Speaker 1: you that I want to I want to tell you,
Speaker 1: and it is shocking. And when I say shocking, I
Speaker 1: mean that they are saying the quiet part, the quiet
Speaker 1: part meaning the part that is not supposed to be
Speaker 1: spoken of, the part that we've kind of assumed but
Speaker 1: they haven't said. But now they're saying it. And to
Speaker 1: be honest, scares me because it's one thing if they're
Speaker 1: hiding it and lying about it, but when they come
Speaker 1: out and openly say it and trying to sell to
Speaker 1: us as a good thing, it's a problem. Let's just
Speaker 1: say they want you to be poor, and then we're
Speaker 1: gonna take a look at some of the big, big
Speaker 1: things that are going in the States in the United
Speaker 1: States right now and and affecting the world. Um that
Speaker 1: that the world is moving on that again, the signs
Speaker 1: of the money breaking down, society breaking down, and uh,
Speaker 1: it leads to lots of unintended consequences. And we'll discuss
Speaker 1: all of that and more in this big show that
Speaker 1: I have planned for you. You listen to the Mark
Speaker 1: Moa show talking about the intersection of politics, finance, and technology.
Speaker 1: We're talking about bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, and the decentralized revolution. Is
Speaker 1: all three of these things converge. The world is changing,
Speaker 1: So I think it's no surprise that we have massive
Speaker 1: inflation all over the world. Massive inflation. Now, what is inflation?
Speaker 1: I want to kind of break this down this nuance
Speaker 1: for you just a little bit before we dig into this.
Speaker 1: And of course, yes, bitcoin fixes this, so bear with me.
Speaker 1: We'll bring it all back home for you. But inflation, so, um,
Speaker 1: you hear all over the news inflations, you know, forty
Speaker 1: year highs CPI consumer price index prices, prices, prices. In
Speaker 1: my opinion, and not just my opinion, per the Austrian
Speaker 1: school of economics, inflation isn't prices going up. Inflation is
Speaker 1: increasing the money supply. When the money supply increases, then
Speaker 1: it results in prices going up. So prices going up
Speaker 1: are the result of inflation of the monetary supply increasing. Um.
Speaker 1: But for intensive purposes, most people consider inflation prices going up.
Speaker 1: So then you have consumer price inflation that's the price
Speaker 1: of your food, your energy, your cars, things like that.
Speaker 1: And then you have asset price inflation. So assets, I
Speaker 1: don't have to tell you what this are obviously stocks, um,
Speaker 1: real estate, bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, etcetera, and so um economists want
Speaker 1: to break those two things separately. They want to say, well,
Speaker 1: there's asset price inflation, but that's not really uh um,
Speaker 1: that's not really inflation, right. Inflation is consumer price inflation.
Speaker 1: But I think that's um, I'll just call it out.
Speaker 1: I think it's stupid to try to um differentiate that
Speaker 1: because let's say that asset price inflation is homes going up.
Speaker 1: So let let me let me, let me break this down.
Speaker 1: I spoke at a conference in January Rebel Capitalist, my
Speaker 1: good friend George Gammon's conference, and I was there. I
Speaker 1: got to share the stage with Ron Paul, which was amazing.
Speaker 1: He started the in the FED movement I gave a
Speaker 1: talk titled UM in the fed To, kind of as
Speaker 1: a nod to Ron Paul. But I was also there
Speaker 1: with with with a well known economist, somebody that I respect,
Speaker 1: and somebody who's super smart, smarter than he's probably forgot
Speaker 1: more than I'll ever know, Richard Warren, Professor Richard Warner.
Speaker 1: And he is a I mean, he's an academic, he
Speaker 1: is a consultant. He's at one of the most influential
Speaker 1: educated people when it comes to central bank planning, in
Speaker 1: central bank policies and things like that. He gave a
Speaker 1: talk about UM, how banks are centralizing and how we
Speaker 1: need to decentralize the banks. I'm not gonna go deep
Speaker 1: into that UM, but he talked about how in two
Speaker 1: thousand and eight, through the Great Financial Crash and two
Speaker 1: thousand and twenty, how all this money creation happened and
Speaker 1: it didn't cause inflation. And uh, much respect to him,
Speaker 1: Like I said, he's probably forgotten more than I'll ever know.
Speaker 1: But I had to call him out on stage in
Speaker 1: front of everybody, and I'll tell you what he said
Speaker 1: in a second, and he'll be surprised what his response was.
Speaker 1: But it really goes back into what I'm talking about
Speaker 1: this differentiation and how they're really gas lightiness. Now, I
Speaker 1: do want to, like I said, we're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: how this inflation, these prices going up are breaking down society,
Speaker 1: what the societal impacts of that are, and of course
Speaker 1: we'll bring it back to of course, yes, bitcoin fixes
Speaker 1: that now one of the best ways to get bitcoin.
Speaker 1: And a lot of people are asking me right now
Speaker 1: is a time? Is now a good time to get
Speaker 1: into bitcoin? Because bitcoin is down It's about thirty dollars
Speaker 1: right now, which I believe is below the fair market value,
Speaker 1: which we're gonna talk about a little bit later, um,
Speaker 1: And so a lot of people want to know, is
Speaker 1: now the right time to buy? And I would just
Speaker 1: say that, you know, we don't know. I think it's
Speaker 1: below fair market value right now. I think it's a
Speaker 1: great opportunity to buy in that being said, could it
Speaker 1: go down more? Well, it's possible. Right if you listen
Speaker 1: to the Mark Ma Show. I'm gonna be back with
Speaker 1: more in a second, So do not go away, all right,
Speaker 1: welcome back. You are listening to the Mark Ma Show,
Speaker 1: where we discuss the world changing through the three converging
Speaker 1: forces of politics. Finance and technology. Of course that's being
Speaker 1: led by bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is changing the world
Speaker 1: and it is those things, UM. And we're witnessing what
Speaker 1: I'm calling the decentralized revolution, and today we're talking about
Speaker 1: specifically UM. Yes, bitcoin fixes that, whatever that is, it's everything.
Speaker 1: And so really what we're talking about is how society
Speaker 1: right now is um the best of times and the
Speaker 1: worst of times. It's breaking down in a lot of
Speaker 1: ways that people don't understand. And it's all related back
Speaker 1: to the money. UM. A lot of times, you know,
Speaker 1: people want to know, like how do I secure my
Speaker 1: bitcoin or whatever? What's the price going to be next week?
Speaker 1: I'd like to talk about why, why do we need it?
Speaker 1: Why do we even care? Boo? Can it fix? Right?
Speaker 1: And so that's what we're talking about. So I was
Speaker 1: talking about inflation UM. A lot of times, most people,
Speaker 1: including the news and the mainstream economists, talk about inflation
Speaker 1: being prices going up, UM. But price it's it's inflation
Speaker 1: is really the money supply going up. When the money
Speaker 1: supply goes up, then prices go up. And I was
Speaker 1: on a on this conference. I was telling you before
Speaker 1: the break, I was at this conference with Um, a
Speaker 1: well known global economist, and he said that in two
Speaker 1: thousand and eight, when the central banks created all this money,
Speaker 1: it didn't cause inflation. I said, excuse me, can I
Speaker 1: ask a question? I was on the panel, I said them,
Speaker 1: if it didn't cause inflation, then why is real estate
Speaker 1: at all time eyes? Why stock market all time eyes?
Speaker 1: Why it's bitcoin al time eyes? Why it's gold al
Speaker 1: time eyes? Why is everything at all time eyes? If
Speaker 1: there was no inflation, he said, oh, well, that was
Speaker 1: asset price inflation. There was no consumer price inflation. And
Speaker 1: so what I'm my point is that these economists are
Speaker 1: splitting hairs because look, if I'm if if I'm a
Speaker 1: consumer and I buy a home and that home went
Speaker 1: up in value, isn't that consumer price inflation? And at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, whether it's my stocks going up,
Speaker 1: my home going up, or my steak and milk going up,
Speaker 1: it's all prices going up. To me, it's more expensive
Speaker 1: to buy the stock, it's more expensive by the house,
Speaker 1: is more expensive to buy my food. Whatever does it
Speaker 1: makes kind of kind of ridiculous, and so Um through
Speaker 1: the distortion of the money supply by them creating arbitrarily
Speaker 1: creating more money. It creates inflation, prices going up, right,
Speaker 1: and we know this, we can see that, but but
Speaker 1: a lot of people haven't really thought through what the
Speaker 1: implicate implications of that are. So let me give you
Speaker 1: a couple. So, for example, when prices go up, it
Speaker 1: makes things more expensive. That's a given right, but have
Speaker 1: you thought through what that means? So a lot of
Speaker 1: times people think the value of my home went up, Well,
Speaker 1: it didn't really go up. The value of your dollars
Speaker 1: went down. So it takes more dollars to buy those things.
Speaker 1: Did the value of your used car go up? No,
Speaker 1: it just takes more dollars to buy those things. Did
Speaker 1: the value of your stake go up to the value
Speaker 1: of your milk up? Note, it just takes more dollars
Speaker 1: to buy those things. But what does that mean? So
Speaker 1: I can give you an example. So, for example, in
Speaker 1: um so gold had been money for five thousand years,
Speaker 1: for for basically all of human recent history. Um in
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy one we entered into an experimental phase where
Speaker 1: we got off of gold being money and now we
Speaker 1: have this just fake, arbitrary fiat money system through fifty
Speaker 1: years into this experiment, So um, if we want to
Speaker 1: look at these numbers of what happened since this experiment started,
Speaker 1: we have to go back to nine seventy one or
Speaker 1: nineteen seventies a good measure. So in nineteen seventy it
Speaker 1: would take two point three years of your life to
Speaker 1: save up for the house. For a house an average,
Speaker 1: the average house in the United States today, it takes
Speaker 1: seven years of your life. That's what does that mean?
Speaker 1: Because the central bankers have printed a bunch of money
Speaker 1: to enrich themselves and their buddies, they've literally stolen five
Speaker 1: years of your life. Of your time, that means that
Speaker 1: that's five years that you could have put yourself through college.
Speaker 1: That's five years you could have spent time with your kids,
Speaker 1: making sure your kids grew up in a good family.
Speaker 1: That's five years you could have spent improving yourself your
Speaker 1: own education to make a better life for you and
Speaker 1: your family. That's five years of your life that you
Speaker 1: could have spent relaxing on the beach. But instead now
Speaker 1: you have to spend that working so you can afford
Speaker 1: the average home. Because the central bankers created more money
Speaker 1: so they can enrich themselves. But that's that's easy to
Speaker 1: understand just the inflation in March alone. I kind of
Speaker 1: broke this down in the previous show. Um, just the
Speaker 1: just the inflation inflation we saw in March eight. What
Speaker 1: does that mean? Well, that means that it's about three
Speaker 1: four dollars more expensive for the average person to maintain
Speaker 1: their standard of living. What does that mean? So that
Speaker 1: means to have the exact same standard of living you
Speaker 1: needed the month before, it now costs you. So if
Speaker 1: you make thirty two dollars an hour, that means you
Speaker 1: have to work an extra ten hours in that month
Speaker 1: just to have the exact same lifestyle that you've had before.
Speaker 1: Ten hours in a month at thirty two bucks an hour.
Speaker 1: If you make fifteen bucks an hour, double it and
Speaker 1: you can you can do the math froom there. So
Speaker 1: if you make fifteen bucks an hour, or let's just
Speaker 1: stick with thirty bucks ten ten hours. So now if
Speaker 1: you work ten extra hours, those ten extra hours in
Speaker 1: a month that I could be with my kids playing,
Speaker 1: or I could be at college taking classes, or I
Speaker 1: could be starting a side business, but instead I have
Speaker 1: to work just to have the exact same lifestyle that
Speaker 1: had before. So what does that mean for society? Well,
Speaker 1: a couple of things. So what we can see is
Speaker 1: that society has broken down, and we can see this
Speaker 1: very clearly. And I don't want to get into, uh
Speaker 1: into deep into the weeds on this, but this week
Speaker 1: we had unfortunately, tragic, tragic news um of gun violence
Speaker 1: in Texas. And so there was a shooting at a school,
Speaker 1: which is horrible. Um, it's unthinkable. I'm a father of kids.
Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine that happening at my kids school. Um.
Speaker 1: But why does this happen now? I grew up in Texas,
Speaker 1: um until I was in high school. And when I
Speaker 1: was growing up as a kid in Texas going to school,
Speaker 1: kids would bring guns to school. Like in Texas, you drove,
Speaker 1: you know, you drove around your pickup truck with guns
Speaker 1: in the back window. And they would bring their guns
Speaker 1: to school and after school they'd go hunting. It happened
Speaker 1: all the way through the two thousands, had happened, but
Speaker 1: there was no shootings. So why is there now, Well,
Speaker 1: it's because society is breaking down. Well why is society
Speaker 1: breaking down? Let's go back to the money. Let's go
Speaker 1: back to the inflation. So in nine we saw um
Speaker 1: less um about fort of couples. Families had to have
Speaker 1: both people working to achieve the family dream, the American dream. Today,
Speaker 1: over eight of families have two people working. So what
Speaker 1: does that mean. That means the families are breaking down.
Speaker 1: That means as parents, instead of one parent being home
Speaker 1: with the kids, they're both gone. Who's raising the kids Nobody?
Speaker 1: That's a problem. If we go back to seventy we
Speaker 1: could see that the incarceration rate there was two hundred
Speaker 1: for every one hundred thousand people incarcerated. Today it's over
Speaker 1: a thousand. That's a five hundred percent increase in the
Speaker 1: incarceration rate. What does that mean is that of kids
Speaker 1: growing up with their parents, most mostly their dads, now
Speaker 1: they're in prison. Um. What about the divorce rate? We
Speaker 1: can see the divorce rate has completely skyrocketed, So now
Speaker 1: instead of kids growing up with their parents, they're growing
Speaker 1: up a single family. What about unwed mothers? We can
Speaker 1: see that. Um, in nineteen seventy, there was less than
Speaker 1: five percent of white kids born born and thirty percent
Speaker 1: of black kids. Today, well, actually as of two thousand
Speaker 1: eight is the last year I got the data, that
Speaker 1: the white families went from five to thirty percent and
Speaker 1: the black families went from thirty to eighty per cent
Speaker 1: being born with mothers. So what does that all mean.
Speaker 1: It goes back to a breakdown in society. We have,
Speaker 1: obesity has skyrocketed, and yes, fixing the money can fix this.
Speaker 1: And that's why I want to show these dates and
Speaker 1: show these numbers, because you can see when we went
Speaker 1: into this monetary experiment is when things went off the rails. UM.
Speaker 1: I'm wanna, I wanna tie this all back together. I
Speaker 1: have a lot more to cover. I want to cover UM,
Speaker 1: what they're saying out loud that they want you to
Speaker 1: be poor, and why they want you to be poor,
Speaker 1: and why you should be okay with it. And then
Speaker 1: I want to bring up bring it back to a
Speaker 1: couple of UM stories that we saw this week that
Speaker 1: illustrate this um and it's pretty shocking for me. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be back with that and more. You listen to
Speaker 1: the Markma Show talking about politics, finance, and technology, we're
Speaker 1: talking about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and this decentralized revolution that
Speaker 1: we're witnessing. We're talking about it in the lens of
Speaker 1: current issues, so we can demonstrate how things can be fixed.
Speaker 1: Back with that and more, in a minute, So don't
Speaker 1: go away, all right, Welcome back. You are listening to
Speaker 1: the Markmas Show. We're talking about politics, technology, we're talking
Speaker 1: about finance, we're talking about money, and really what are
Speaker 1: we talking about. We're talking about bitcoin. We're talking about cryptocurrencies,
Speaker 1: and we are talking about the decentralized revolution that we're
Speaker 1: living through, that we're witnessing. And that's why the world
Speaker 1: seems like it's all changing, because it is. We're seeing
Speaker 1: the last dying grasps of the old system trying to
Speaker 1: hold on to power as the new system is emerging. Now.
Speaker 1: I've been talking about how when we say in bitcoin,
Speaker 1: bitcoin fixes that, which means everything, and we say everything
Speaker 1: because pretty much every problem can be traced back to
Speaker 1: the money. I'd like to think of it like, um,
Speaker 1: if you saw this giant oak tree, and this oak
Speaker 1: tree had i don't know, call it ten thousand leaves,
Speaker 1: and every leave on that tree was a problem that
Speaker 1: we had, and we could sit there and pick one
Speaker 1: leave at a time and discuss each problem and what
Speaker 1: about this problem, what about this problem, more about this problem.
Speaker 1: But at the if we chase those leaves, they go
Speaker 1: back two branches and those branches go back to a trunk,
Speaker 1: and at the base is the root. That's the root, cause,
Speaker 1: that's the root of the problem. What sits there at
Speaker 1: that route is the money. It's the money printer. It's
Speaker 1: the ability for the Federal Reserve to print money, distorting
Speaker 1: the markets, stealing your life, and causing all types of distortions.
Speaker 1: So um, I kind of broke down some stats of
Speaker 1: how it's breaking down society with dual incomes, working incarceration rate, high,
Speaker 1: divorce rate high on when mother's high, obesity, health problems.
Speaker 1: So why why obesity hasn't gone off the complete rails.
Speaker 1: If you go back and look at pictures of like
Speaker 1: people at the beach or walking around and shopping centers
Speaker 1: in pre seventies, everybody was fit, everybody looked good. Why
Speaker 1: is obesity gone so high? Well because of the money.
Speaker 1: What do you mean because of the money. Well, because
Speaker 1: of everything getting more expensive. They've they've tried to get
Speaker 1: our food cheaper and cheaper and cheaper to offset that.
Speaker 1: And so now instead of eating good quality food like steak,
Speaker 1: like milk, like whole bread, things like that, instead we're
Speaker 1: eating stuff out of a box, reading processed food, reading
Speaker 1: fast food, and so the food system. Well, one of
Speaker 1: my favorite economists, a Safety and a Moose. He wrote
Speaker 1: the book The Bitcoin Standard and now the new book
Speaker 1: The Fiat Standard. He says, Fiat money, fake money, Fiat food,
Speaker 1: fake food. And so what we've seen is a breakdown
Speaker 1: in our food system in order to keep prices low
Speaker 1: to offset this inflation that we've seen, and all that's
Speaker 1: done is caused massive health problems. Now, Um, the way
Speaker 1: that things work is that if I wanted to solve
Speaker 1: the problem is I would want first identify a problem,
Speaker 1: and then two I would look at what went wrong,
Speaker 1: and then I would try to fix that. Right, So, um,
Speaker 1: if I crashed my car, I would say, well, what happened? Well,
Speaker 1: you were distracted looking at your phone. Um, okay, well
Speaker 1: how could we fix that because you've driven, you've driven fine,
Speaker 1: you know, all these years, and then you crashed your
Speaker 1: car while you were looking at your phone. Okay, well
Speaker 1: then the problem is the phone. Let's not look at
Speaker 1: that phone anymore. Right, that'd be one way to do that. Um,
Speaker 1: you want to look at what went wrong, and so
Speaker 1: you wouldn't just say well, let's just not drive anymore.
Speaker 1: Like that's probably not an answer, let's just take away cars,
Speaker 1: And that's not really an answer. Um, why don't we say,
Speaker 1: let's just go back and see what went wrong? And
Speaker 1: so you're looking for bright spots and so what has
Speaker 1: gone wrong in society? Where did we go off the rails? Well,
Speaker 1: it all traces back to one when we came off
Speaker 1: the gold standard. And again, I know it's a sensitive
Speaker 1: subject and I don't want to dig in too deep
Speaker 1: into it, but I just want to illustrate how the
Speaker 1: money problem the I want to illustrate the damage that
Speaker 1: the money, this fake monetary experiment has caused because people
Speaker 1: just don't realize this. And so, you know, unfortunately back
Speaker 1: to you know this the school incident, this match shooting
Speaker 1: that happened this this week, which is historically and it's
Speaker 1: just tragic. Um. But why is it there was only Um?
Speaker 1: Why why is it that there was no school shootings
Speaker 1: before like three So if we go back and study
Speaker 1: history from eighteen hundred to nineteen sixty, there was basically
Speaker 1: no school shootings. There was a cup three instances where
Speaker 1: one person just killed another person. But why is it
Speaker 1: that there was nothing for those hundred and sixty years?
Speaker 1: And why is that there was no really shootings with
Speaker 1: any frequency until nineteen three. What what happened? It looks
Speaker 1: like kids born after nineteen seventy five is where the
Speaker 1: problems really started, and it got really worse for kids
Speaker 1: born at from after. So what was it? What changed?
Speaker 1: Like I said, when I was a kid growing up
Speaker 1: in Texas, people drove to school with their guns. They
Speaker 1: were there. It wasn't a problem. So if we look
Speaker 1: at shootings defined us three or more people, we can
Speaker 1: just see how rare, rare it was. Um Like I said,
Speaker 1: previous you know, the seventies, we didn't see that at all,
Speaker 1: but now it seems to be happening all the time.
Speaker 1: So then we'd want to go, well, what changed? Because
Speaker 1: people always took guns to school? But what has changed
Speaker 1: since then? As matter fact, we can see how bad
Speaker 1: this has become. We can see that in seventeen there
Speaker 1: was thirty one sixty, so that's pretty bad. We've gone
Speaker 1: from thirty, thirty, thirty forty and now sixty so one
Speaker 1: has doubled the numbers when we were pretty flat at
Speaker 1: eighteen and nineteen. So what's happened since then? Well, we
Speaker 1: can look at a lot of things, So we can
Speaker 1: look at again back to the health problem. So because
Speaker 1: our food is so bad, we're basically sitting our kids
Speaker 1: down in the morning, feeding them bowls of sugar, and
Speaker 1: then we're sending to school to make them sit there.
Speaker 1: And then then those kids are restless. And because those
Speaker 1: kids are restless, and they get diagnosed and they get
Speaker 1: put on riddling, they get put on adderall. And so
Speaker 1: now we're addicting kids to drugs from the time their
Speaker 1: little kids and they're growing up like that we've come
Speaker 1: and and that's just only the start of it. So
Speaker 1: these these drugs that kids are taking these days have
Speaker 1: become a big problem. And I'm not gonna dig super
Speaker 1: super deep into the science behind that, but it just
Speaker 1: go look at the data that shows what happens to
Speaker 1: people when they take these types of drugs for a
Speaker 1: long period of time. What else, Well, we've broken down
Speaker 1: um all relation to truth. So today you can be
Speaker 1: anything you want. You can be um whatever sex, So
Speaker 1: there's no such thing as sex is anymore. Um, you
Speaker 1: can be whatever you want. There's no such thing as
Speaker 1: truth too. Plus two isn't four anymore, math is racist, etcetera.
Speaker 1: And so now people have lost an anchor they don't
Speaker 1: know where to turn, they don't have they don't have
Speaker 1: families anymore. They're eating a bunch of they're being poisoned
Speaker 1: by their food, they're taking all types of drugs. I mean,
Speaker 1: then you add in really into the nineties where you
Speaker 1: really the music and the movies really started to turn.
Speaker 1: You've got violence in video games, and it's not just
Speaker 1: one thing, it's all these things. We can see pulled
Speaker 1: up this chart from that the United States is leading
Speaker 1: the world in substance abuse, leading the world. Now, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, there's also an increase in bullying, at least
Speaker 1: in reported bullying. But why is there. Why is that? Well,
Speaker 1: I would imagine kids growing up without fathers or families
Speaker 1: for that matter, probably have low self esteem, so they're
Speaker 1: more susceptible to it. And then people lowest self esteem
Speaker 1: also want to lash out and maybe bullying. Right, So
Speaker 1: all these problems all boil back down to this. But
Speaker 1: s SR eyes riddled in lack of community socialization, lack
Speaker 1: of church purpose for young men, you know, no purpose
Speaker 1: for young men, family breakdown, social media isolation over the
Speaker 1: last two years, lack of social institutions, you know, future looking,
Speaker 1: bleak prices are so high. People can't even you know,
Speaker 1: kids future looks bleak. They don't know how they're gonna
Speaker 1: be able to afford a home. Things like that, And
Speaker 1: what do you think happens? What do you think happens?
Speaker 1: And so we we can go back and try to
Speaker 1: look at every single symptom, but we need to get
Speaker 1: to the root of the cause. So we could certainly
Speaker 1: just you know, if we had a magic wand, which
Speaker 1: we don't, but imagine if we had a magic wand
Speaker 1: and we could just magically make um guns illegal and
Speaker 1: just get rid of them. In the United States. Well, okay,
Speaker 1: that's fine, but like in Mexico, they're illegal. But yet
Speaker 1: you still have mass shootings everywhere. Um, so that's one problem.
Speaker 1: Second of all, Um, it's not what's in a man's heart,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, in a hand, it's what's in his heart.
Speaker 1: So they could easily drive a car through a crowd. Um.
Speaker 1: You can see across the world there's mass stabbing incidents.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, there was a big one
Speaker 1: I was looking at this morning where over thirty people
Speaker 1: died in a stabbing accident. Um, you could walk in
Speaker 1: a in a crowd of room with them with a
Speaker 1: molotov cocktail. You can go to the hardware store and
Speaker 1: make good stuff to make pipe bombs. And so we
Speaker 1: need to get back to the problem. The root of
Speaker 1: the problem, and the root of the problem is the
Speaker 1: money supply. It's creating all these distortions in the market
Speaker 1: and it's just the pharmaceutical companies, et cetera. So anyway,
Speaker 1: hopefully that makes a case. And so bitcoin takes away
Speaker 1: their ability to print unlimited amounts of money. It fixes
Speaker 1: that problem. Um, and there's even bigger problems. So jumping
Speaker 1: out of that subject and into the bigger ones, which
Speaker 1: is like I said, what these elite people at Davos
Speaker 1: are saying this week, saying the quiet part out loud
Speaker 1: and wait until you hear what they are saying, because
Speaker 1: it's insane. And yes, bitcoin will fix that as well.
Speaker 1: I'm gonnae be back with that and more in a minute.
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Mark mo Show talking about bitcoin
Speaker 1: and cryptocurrencies and the decentralized revolution, talking about the intersection
Speaker 1: of politics, technology and finance, so we can understand what's
Speaker 1: going on in the world, um, where it's going, and
Speaker 1: how we can survive that. So'll be back with that
Speaker 1: and more in a minute. Don't go away, all right,
Speaker 1: welcome back. You are listening to the Mark mo Show,
Speaker 1: and we're talking about we talked about each and every week.
Speaker 1: Which is the decentralized revolution, which is bitcoin, which is cryptocurrencies,
Speaker 1: which is the intersection that I like to focus on, politics, technology,
Speaker 1: and finance. You have to look at all three of
Speaker 1: them to bring context to what's going on in the world.
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of times we're looking at
Speaker 1: surface level issues and we don't take the time to
Speaker 1: really think this through, to really chase it back down
Speaker 1: to the root cause of the problem. But if we
Speaker 1: want to be successful, if we want to really fix things,
Speaker 1: that we have to do and and unfortunately, our society
Speaker 1: has gotten into this short term mentality where we want
Speaker 1: to treat symptoms instead of cure things. And unfortunately, um
Speaker 1: there's no easy fix, and everybody wants to easy fix
Speaker 1: and that's just a problem. But UM, I was explaining
Speaker 1: how society is breaking down because it's the money breaking down.
Speaker 1: Hopefully that made sense to you. And now I want
Speaker 1: to talk about some of the things this week we've
Speaker 1: seen that the World Economic Forum they've been meeting and uh,
Speaker 1: things have been getting bad. When when I say things
Speaker 1: have been getting bad, I mean I talked about the
Speaker 1: societal problems. I talked about the inflation problems, prices getting
Speaker 1: so high. Um, But we're at a point now where
Speaker 1: it's beyond prices just getting high. So throughout Europe and
Speaker 1: the United States, we're seeing, um, the price of energy
Speaker 1: going up, so gas, natural gas of course led by
Speaker 1: oil et cetera, which then leads to lots of other problems.
Speaker 1: So natural gas goes so high that now they can't
Speaker 1: make fertilizer. When they can't make fertilizer, guess what, they
Speaker 1: can't make food. I mean, we're literally at that point.
Speaker 1: And the thing that's just crazy crazy for me, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's actually very scary for me. Is
Speaker 1: the transition that our leaders have gone through. So we
Speaker 1: went from a year ago, year and a half ago
Speaker 1: that it's not a problem, inflation, prices, energy is not
Speaker 1: a problem. You think it's a problem, but it's not.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. Then it went to well, you know,
Speaker 1: it's transitory, it's here, but don't worry about it's gonna
Speaker 1: we're gonna fix it really soon. Two then it went like, well, actually,
Speaker 1: it's kind of a problem. We should do something about it.
Speaker 1: And now now is the part where I'm really scared,
Speaker 1: because now what they're saying is that this is the plan,
Speaker 1: this is the goal. We want you to be poorer
Speaker 1: and you should be okay with it. That's what they're saying.
Speaker 1: So what do I mean by that. Well, let's let's
Speaker 1: talk about this for a second. So, um, in the
Speaker 1: United States. Well, okay, so globally we have a massive
Speaker 1: food problem, like a massive food problem. As a matter
Speaker 1: of fact, the in the UK they said this week
Speaker 1: that they expected to be catastrophic. The UN is projecting
Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of people to starve to death. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is a this is this is a catastrophic problem
Speaker 1: that we're having right now. I don't think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a big problem in the United States as far
Speaker 1: as like people starving to death, but it's certainly big
Speaker 1: in other parts of the world. I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people just have this US centric viewpoint, but you
Speaker 1: really need to look at the world. Um, and that's
Speaker 1: a big problem. But in the United States, so the
Speaker 1: rest of Ukraine war is taken about thirty of the
Speaker 1: wheat out of the global um supply. But even the
Speaker 1: United States, we're having one of the wheat the worst
Speaker 1: wheat crop of in in history. Now, what you may
Speaker 1: not know is that the government, again because of the
Speaker 1: money problem, the government prints a bunch of money and
Speaker 1: does a bunch of stupid stuff with it, like paying
Speaker 1: farmers not to grow food. Imagine that, So they literally
Speaker 1: pay farmers to leave parts of their land open so
Speaker 1: they don't plant it. Now at a time when we're
Speaker 1: running into a global food supply and even a food
Speaker 1: supply problem in the United States, wouldn't you think that
Speaker 1: we'd want to grow all the food that we can. Well,
Speaker 1: the farmers certainly think so. And the farmers went and
Speaker 1: lobbied the Secretary of Agriculture, Tom vill Sack, and they said, hey, Tom, Tom, look,
Speaker 1: I know we're not planting on this this part of
Speaker 1: our land, but like maybe we could and maybe we should.
Speaker 1: We could help out, like we need the food, right
Speaker 1: so Tom will Sack Um he refused. He refused their request,
Speaker 1: citing quote a detrimental impact on quote efforts to mitigate
Speaker 1: climate change end quote. He said, no, no, don't I know,
Speaker 1: I know people are starving to death. And I know
Speaker 1: we're paying you another planet food, but you're not gonna
Speaker 1: do it because you know the climate. That's what he said.
Speaker 1: He wanted to say, quote our demat our domestic agriculture
Speaker 1: industry plays a critical role in the global effort to
Speaker 1: contain temperature increases under the United States nationally determined Contribution.
Speaker 1: So what does that mean? So um, the agriculture energy
Speaker 1: plays a critical role in to contain temperatures in the
Speaker 1: United States nationally determined contribution. Let me finish the restaurants.
Speaker 1: Hey what that means? Which is at the heart of
Speaker 1: our nation's commitment to the Paris Agreement. So um, President Biden,
Speaker 1: when he took office the very first day in office,
Speaker 1: the most important thing he could do on day one
Speaker 1: was to put the United States back into the Paris Accord.
Speaker 1: All right, now, UM, I've done videos breaking down the
Speaker 1: Paris Cord. I'm not gonna spend a lot of time
Speaker 1: on that. Um, not the science behind it, but the
Speaker 1: actual agreement. So um, this to understand that you have
Speaker 1: done somebody said here, So he said, in order to
Speaker 1: contain temperatures under the United States nationally determined contribution, contribution
Speaker 1: being the keyword. So under the Paris Cord, each nation
Speaker 1: contributes what they're gonna do. So the United States has
Speaker 1: already been the leader of the United States has cut
Speaker 1: its carbon emissions down by thirty percent in the last decade.
Speaker 1: The United States has which means you pay more for
Speaker 1: everything in order for us to do that. And that's great,
Speaker 1: that's a sacrifice you've made. Um But other nations, China
Speaker 1: hasn't done that, India hasn't done that. So every nation contributes.
Speaker 1: What what do I pledge? The United States pledged for
Speaker 1: the Perisgreement to cut its emissions another Now, if anything,
Speaker 1: if you know anything, the little the first parts, the
Speaker 1: easy part, it gets harder and harder. So how do
Speaker 1: we cut another percent? Okay, but what did what did
Speaker 1: India commit to? What's their contribution? Well, they agreed not
Speaker 1: to allow emissions to go up more than the percentage
Speaker 1: of GDP. So if they can grow their GDP, they
Speaker 1: can grow their emissions. They're not cutting at all. What
Speaker 1: did China commit to? China committed that they would continue
Speaker 1: to increase their emissions through and then they'll reverse course
Speaker 1: and lower room. So each nation has contributed, so are
Speaker 1: the other nations of the world aren't contributing any reduction.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, China has contributed an increase,
Speaker 1: but the United States has contributed additional reduction. And so
Speaker 1: they said, nope, you can't. You can't grow more food
Speaker 1: even though people are gonna start to death because you know,
Speaker 1: the world could get a little bit warmer. Um, so
Speaker 1: they're saying the quiet part allowed. We have a Norwegian
Speaker 1: finance CEO, Kirsten Brothen, spoke to the World Economic Forum
Speaker 1: this week and she said, quote, we need to accept
Speaker 1: that there will be some pain in the process, shortages
Speaker 1: on energy, inflationary pressures. That pain is actually worth it,
Speaker 1: because if we don't, there's no economy. You see what
Speaker 1: they're saying. They're saying, yes, okay, fine, we admit it.
Speaker 1: Prices are going to go higher. We get it. People
Speaker 1: are going to starve to death. We get it. That
Speaker 1: you won't be able to dry I have your car
Speaker 1: anymore because it's too expensive. We get it. That car
Speaker 1: companies are going to go out of business and you're
Speaker 1: gonna lose your job. We get it. But she said, quote,
Speaker 1: the pain is actually worth it. Who are they to
Speaker 1: say that, uh, control over your life? And so This
Speaker 1: is what I'm talking about, this decentralized revolution. Through this
Speaker 1: monetary system that we've had, it's increased centralization. The powers
Speaker 1: have continued to centralize and get bigger and bigger and bigger,
Speaker 1: stronger and stronger and stronger. And so while I used
Speaker 1: to have to deal with the powers in my state
Speaker 1: or maybe my country, now it's global. Now. These people
Speaker 1: are meeting at the World Economic Forum, flying there in
Speaker 1: their private jets, spending creating more carbon emission in one
Speaker 1: plane flight than you probably will in your whole year,
Speaker 1: and they're going to tell you that you need to
Speaker 1: feel more pain, you need to lose your job, and
Speaker 1: you need to starve because the pain is actually worth it. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think the pain is
Speaker 1: actually worth it. I don't think we need to go
Speaker 1: backwards at all. And we'll talk about that more later,
Speaker 1: but basically, what we're seeing is that the centralization of power.
Speaker 1: We're at peak centralization. And so we have these three
Speaker 1: letter organizations like the World Economic Form and the World
Speaker 1: Health Organization and the World Trade Organzation and the u
Speaker 1: N and the I m F and everything telling you
Speaker 1: what you can and can't do. What you can and
Speaker 1: can't eat, or even if you can and can't have food.
Speaker 1: But as I talked about each and every week, we're
Speaker 1: witnessing the decentralized revolution money controlling the money supply has
Speaker 1: enabled them to grow bigger, and bitcoin will take away
Speaker 1: their ability to do that, which will then decentralize the world.
Speaker 1: And I'll allow us to take back control of our
Speaker 1: own very live, sovereign, directing my life as I see
Speaker 1: fit in the direction that leads to my own ends.
Speaker 1: That's the goal and that's what bitcoin is here to fix. Um,
Speaker 1: you listen to the Markma Show, We're talking about bitcoin,
Speaker 1: a cryptocurrency, is talking about the decentralized revolution, talking about politics, finance,
Speaker 1: and technology each and every week. I hope you enjoyed
Speaker 1: that and you have a new perspective on this. Thanks
Speaker 1: for listening.
