WEBVTT - The World Is Changing - Long-Term Secular Trend Shift 0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:03.559 Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Mark Moss Show, 0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:06.400 where each and every week we talk about, of course, 0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:08.760 the decentralized revolution, but you know that by now, of 0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:11.080 course we talk about the way the world is changing. 0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:14.560 Looking at through the lens of politics, finance, and technology. 0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:18.360 Those three things together are the driving forces for what 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:21.639 the world is going through. Of course, the financial system 0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:25.440 is a creator and collapsing all around us. The political system, 0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:28.640 of course is breaking down. And then we have the 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:30.960 introduction of new technology that is of course what changes 0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:32.440 the world as we know it, and so we look 0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:33.839 at it through the lens of that so we can 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:36.599 kind of really see this play by play. Um, it's 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:39.400 important to understand it from that level what I would 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:44.320 like to call signposts, because you don't know when a 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:47.720 market's topped or a market's bottomed until you're looking backwards. 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:49.600 When you're living through at the time, you don't realize that. 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:52.159 You also don't realize that when a society has peaked 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:55.600 or a new one has started until you're looking backwards 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:58.639 on it. When the Roman Empire collapsed, they didn't know 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:00.840 the Roman Empire had apps. As a matter of fact, 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.400 the Roman Empire thought that there was still a Roman 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:07.280 empire for quite a while hundreds of years, but only 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:11.560 now historians actually pinpoint the date of the Roman Empire collapse. 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.640 And so typically you don't understand it as you're going 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:17.240 through it. And also these things take time, they take 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:20.880 a long time to happen, and so on a daily basis, 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:22.720 it's kind of like the frog in the in the 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:26.120 and the boiling pot of water, the proverbial boiling pot 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.760 of water, that you don't really notice these incremental changes. 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:31.920 But if you want to navigate this properly, then it's 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.800 it's important to understand what's happening so you can navigate 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.320 this properly, and and it helps to have this big, 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:40.560 drawn out viewpoint. And of course that's what we talked 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:44.960 about each and every week. UM Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, which technology 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:48.680 that's actually driving this change. UM at a point when 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.880 the world is already moving in that direction. Of course, 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:54.040 we've talked about this on a two year time frame. 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.080 The political world is moving now. I'm not gonna go 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.360 super deep into that, but today I want to spend 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:02.960 some time to break down a couple of stories news 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:05.440 stories that have come out in the last week that 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:10.320 really are really heavy what we call signposts that show 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.200 what's happening. Now, what happens is if you've ever heard 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.560 of the book The Fourth Turning. If you haven't, I 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.240 would recommend checking it out. The book that it's called 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:20.880 The Fourth Turning and it highlights an eighty year cycle. 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.080 Now I like to look at a two and year cycle, 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.080 but um, really it's an eighty four year cycle. Three 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:30.280 times eighty four equals two two, So um, every third 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:32.640 cycle is the big one. But if you understand just 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.680 one of these smaller eighty year cycles, as highlighted by 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.000 the book The Fourth Turning, they talk about it in 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:42.160 four twenty year periods, and the fourth one, the fourth 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.640 twenty year period, the end of the eighty year period 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.880 is where all the change happens. And so you probably 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.600 heard the quote v Vladimir Lenin said that there's decades 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:54.400 where nothing seems to happen, and then there's days where 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.920 decades seem to happen. And that part specifically right there 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:00.440 is what he's talking about at the four Attorney. This 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.200 where all the change happens, and that's basically what we're 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.320 living through right now. A lot of people who are 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.440 up on this theory it's also called generational theory, UM. 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.160 And so you might have heard the saying like hard 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:18.840 times creates strong men. Strong men create great times. Great 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:23.919 times create weak men, and weak men create bad times. 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.520 Now bad times create strong men. And so it's a cycle. 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:29.400 It's a cycle. UM. To illustrate this, to kind of 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:33.000 put it into terms, my grandfather grew up on a 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:36.280 farm in Iowa. UM. He was a farmer. He was 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.000 the probably the hardest working man I could have ever 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.720 imagined living on the land. Living on the farm, while 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:42.440 today many people think of it as like this fairy 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:46.040 tale experience, it's not like to grow your own food 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.400 and sell your own clothes, and I mean everything you 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.120 have to do, bill your own house. I mean it's 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.800 insane amount of work. And so he was the hardest 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:56.400 working man ever. My dad, the second generation, grew up 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.680 on the farm, and my father is also like the 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:03.520 hardest worker I've ever seen in my life. My father, UM, 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:04.920 when I was a kid, I would still go to 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:06.640 the farm when my grandfather lived there, and my my 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:10.480 father would be loaned out. My grandfather would actually loan 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.680 my father out like two other neighbors to help them 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:15.400 with their crops. I mean, that's just how they did it. 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.200 Back then. Community was super important to them. But they 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.560 worked super hard, you know, planting the fields and bringing 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.760 in the harvest and managing the cattle and all those things. 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:25.480 But my father left the farm. He didn't want to 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:27.000 be a farmer. As a matter of fact, none of 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:31.120 my dad's uncle's uh aunts wanted to take over the farm, 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.120 and so they all left and my dad became a 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.640 construction worker. And he was the hardest man I've ever 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.400 hardest working man I've ever known. I remember at one 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.240 point towards the end of his career, I asked him, 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.000 I'm like, man, don't you just want to take a vacation. 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:46.680 I'm all about like traveling all over the world and 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:48.880 taking vacations and going on surf trips. And I'm like, 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:52.360 don't you want to take a vacation? And he said no, 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:57.760 He's like, no, I don't. I just I just work 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.320 like And I was so shocking to me, but it 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:02.880 really illustrates the point. But the point is that my father, 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.240 my grandfather, was a hard working man ever on the farm. 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.960 The next generation, my father left the farm, he didn't 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:11.240 want to work that hard. Although in my opinion, was 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:14.839 still an amazing hard worker, but not as hard. I 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:16.760 visited the farm when I was a kid, and I 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.040 was forced to go work construction with my dad when 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:22.080 I was a kid, and that built an amazing work 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:24.000 ethic in me. So I'm a really hard worker, but 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.760 nowhere near like my dad, nowhere near like my grandfather. 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:30.919 Third generation, and now my kids, the fourth generation. I 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.600 can't even get him to clear the dinner table. And 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.840 that's how weak they are. And so the great times 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:40.760 that have been created in me has now created a 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.480 weak generation, which I'm not super happy to say. Sorry, kids, 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.960 if you're listening, no, don't worry. We're goneto shaped up. 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.719 But that's kind of highlights this generational theory, and that's 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:51.840 part of the reason why we see these cycles as 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:54.080 they go through. Another illustration will be Germany. Look at 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:57.599 Germany after World War Two. Um, the entire country was 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:01.039 bombed out, was destroyed right broken down them and then 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.279 they had to pay reparations. They had to pay back 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:05.599 a lot of this money, which is part of the 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.360 reason why they went broke. We had hyper inflation in Germany. 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.320 People were so poor in Germany. They were literally burning 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:15.560 money in the fire because it was cheaper than burning would, 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:19.800 which um, history doesn't repeat, it rhymes or kind of repeats. 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:21.800 And as a matter of fact, I put out a 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:25.320 tweet I think yesterday and I said, uh, the prices 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.240 of elect of energy have gone up so high in 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:32.040 Germany over a thousand percent um. And I put out 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.240 a picture of the chart on Twitter and I said, um, 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:37.200 at this rate, I think Germans might it might be 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.240 cheaper to burn money than it will be would And 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.680 that's not it was. It was kind of said tongue 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:44.480 in cheek, but it was actually, you know, the best 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.440 jokes have truth in them. If you're not following me 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.600 on Twitter, by the way, please do check it out 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.040 at Twitter at one Mark Moss, just the number one 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:54.080 at one Mark Moss on social media Instagram, Twitter, hit 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:55.840 me up on social media, let me know you're listening, 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.440 and asked me a question. But and I put out 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:01.880 good little tidbits of information like that. But Germany had 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:03.919 these hard times. The whole country was bombed out. They 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:05.920 had to pay this massive amount of debt back and 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.040 they had hyper inflation. Uh, they couldn't survive. They were 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.600 burning wood money in their fireplace was cheaper than would 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.880 but those hard times created really strong men, and then 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.800 Germany rose from the ashes, and those strong men created 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:21.280 great times, and Germany is known as the economic engine, 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:26.560 the economic powerhouse of Europe because those strong men created 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.480 such great times. But the problem is there's those those 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.360 great times created week men, and those week men have 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:33.000 created really bad times. And as a matter of fact, 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:36.000 those week men have created such bad times for Germany 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.000 that they're about to start all the way back over 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:41.200 again and could be burning money in their fireplace, because 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:44.080 that's how bad off the country is, through a series 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:48.160 of bad decisions, bad investments, because these weak men don't 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:52.280 have any grounding in reality. They forgot what it really takes. 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.560 So for example, they cut their work weeks down. We 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.640 don't need to work forty hours a week. That's ridiculous. 0:07:56.720 --> 0:08:01.040 Let's work less than forty hours a week. Okay, um uh, 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:02.800 you know what, we don't need energy. We're gonna come 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.040 up with this fake renewable energy. We'll just get all 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:08.160 our energy from unicorns and rainbows and solar panels and windmills, 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:11.360 except where it doesn't work that way, And now they 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:13.080 have no energy, which is why their energy prices up 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:14.760 a thousand percent, and they're about to freeze to death 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:19.040 this winter. And so those those the strongmen created week 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:20.760 great times. Those great times create week man. This week 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.000 many created bad times, and that's where they're at, and 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:24.960 unfortunately they have to get through this. But I believe 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:27.640 these hard times will create strongmen again. All right, So 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.200 that's kind of how this works. But what I want 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.040 to talk about today is something bigger than that. I 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.160 want to talk about some new stories that happened today. 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.320 So you can see these signposts, and I'm gonna lay 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.640 out where I think the world is going, how it's 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:41.880 going to change over the next two to eight years, 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.240 and what you should be doing about that. We're gonna 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.920 look at it from the singular polar world to a 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.280 multipolar world. We're gonn look at it from the political standpoint, 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:56.160 money standpoint, an energy standpoint. And I'm even gonna give 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.840 you some steps and some tips of what I'm doing 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.360 to protect myself a navig it through this and stuff 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:02.760 that you can do as well. So I got a 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:04.280 whole lots of cover. By the way, you're listening to 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:06.360 the Mark Moa show, of course, we're talking about the 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:10.320 decentralized revolution. Each and every week through the lens of politics, finance, 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:14.360 and technology. Of course, that technology is bitcoin, cryptocurrencies is 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:18.000 changing the world as we know it. And while the 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.320 world is scary and it's dangerous and it's uncertain, if 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.720 you navigate it correctly, it could be amazing, which is 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:25.800 my goal for of course, me and my family, and 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:27.640 it's my goal for you as well. So we listen 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:28.880 to the Mark Ma Show. Will be back in a 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:31.760 minute with more. Don't go away, were back, all right, 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.120 welcome back. You are listening to the Mark Ma Show, 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:38.120 and we have a big show for you today. So 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:39.640 it's a good day to join in, good day to 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:41.720 jump in work. Each and every week we talked about 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:44.880 the decentralized revolution, the way the world is changing right 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:47.000 before our very eyes. And I'm giving you the play 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.400 by play, giving you the signpost of how that's working out. 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:51.240 I'm not going to run through all that again, but 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.120 we look at the decentralized revolution each and every week 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:57.120 through the lens of politics, finance, and technology, those three things. 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.439 Of course, the technology we're talking about bitcoin, the de 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:05.280 central as revolution that's happening. Now. Real quick about signposts, um, 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.040 if I was going to give you directions to my house. 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.280 You don't know where I live. Um, but I'm gonna 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.200 give you directions. But I'm but I'm gonna give you 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:16.000 kind of basic directions. And so the directions would be like, um, 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:19.840 drive down this highway until you see this blue um barn, 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.920 and then turn right, and then drive until you see 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.720 this billboard and make a left, and then drive until 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:27.160 you see the old fence. And at the end of 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:29.199 the fence you're gonna hang it right and then at 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:32.720 this right. And I'm giving you these signs signed posts, 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:34.800 but I don't tell you how long it's gonna take 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:37.880 you or how far it is in between each one 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.400 of those right, But each time you see one of 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:45.040 the signposts, you realize you're getting closer and closer and closer. 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:46.240 Now you don't know how long the told trip is 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.000 gonna take you, but you know you're getting closer because 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:51.120 you're checking them off. And eventually you only have one 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:54.079 or two signposts left, and you know you're getting very close. 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:55.880 And so that's what we're talking about. A signposts with 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.439 each one of these news stories is a signpost show 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:02.880 you this is what's happening, this is confirming what we believe. 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.240 Another way to look at it would be the way 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:07.440 that like, uh, the CIA and the FBI do like 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.280 risk assessment, and so what they would do is they'd say, hey, 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.000 there's this event, Um, we think there's these potential risks. 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:15.080 We think there could be you know, this this shooting 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:17.080 or this bombing or whatever it may be. And so 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.600 they'll put out these different risks and they'll say, if 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.240 this is going to happen, then this, this, this, this, 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:24.400 and this would come true. But if this is going 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.080 to happen, then it would be this, this, this, and 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:28.920 this would come true. And then what they do is 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:32.400 they monitor the situation and they see which path we 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:34.559 start be going down. And then as as these things 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:36.280 start getting checked off, they go, oh, this is the 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:38.719 most probable outcome. And so that's also kind of what 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.280 these signposts are as well, is it shows us what 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.880 the most probable outcome is based off of what these are. 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:45.720 That's why it's super important for us to understand this. 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:48.720 And then of course we can move and change and 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.040 bob and weave or whatever to stay one step ahead. Now, 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:54.640 I want to stay one step ahead with my money 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:56.560 because not only do I want not want to lose 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.400 my money. I want to make more money. I also 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:01.560 want to stay one step ahead for my freedom. I 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:03.120 don't want to lose my freedom. I don't want to 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.120 end up in a country lockdown where I can't leave 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.600 and I can't do all the freedoms that I that 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.160 I've grown grown up being able to do in America, 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:12.440 you know, like what's happened in Australia or in Canada. 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.640 I don't want to get locked in a country lockdown, 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:17.160 and so I pay attention to these things for those reasons. 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.160 Now let's let's let's dig into a couple of them. 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:23.720 So first off, moving from a single, singular, polar world 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:27.480 to a multipolar world. So um, on a two fifty 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:31.240 year time frame, the world moves to centralization and then 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:36.079 it moved back to decentralization. Extensive talks on this. If 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:37.400 you I'm not going to dig deep into that. If 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:39.120 you want to go more, go into my YouTube channel. 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:41.880 Just search Mark moss on YouTube and look at a playlist, 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:43.920 and there's one on three cycles, and there's a bunch 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.320 of videos, and I break all this down in super 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:48.079 deep details. So just go to YouTube and search Mark 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:51.439 moss um hit me, hit me, on social media at 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:54.200 one Mark Moss and I'll send your links. Um okay, 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:57.200 so um. The world has been moving to the singular 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.200 polar world, which of course is easy to understand. We 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.679 have the World at Comic Forum, the World Trade Organization, 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:05.920 the World Health Organization, World Mediological Association, with the I 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.320 m F, we got the U, N et cetera. And 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.520 then we have the dollar, of course, which is the 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:14.160 reserve currency of the world. Now, in four, at Bretton 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.640 Wood's agreement, the you know, most of the developed world 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:20.520 got together and voted and agreed to have a one 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:23.920 world currency where the dollar would be backed by gold, 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.280 and then all the other currencies would be pegged to 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:29.640 the dollar, so visa v they're all backed by gold. 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.240 So the whole world agreed to that in four to 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:36.520 have this one world monetary system. And since nineteen four 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.400 the world has been moving more and more centralized. Like 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:42.240 I said, the creation of the UN, creation of the 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:45.080 I m F at that time, creation of the EU, 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:48.480 creation of the World that Coming Forum ninety one, all 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:50.839 these things have continued to push this closer and closer 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:53.600 to centralization, a multi singular polar world. But now that's 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:56.200 all breaking apart, right, So we see this. So the 0:13:56.320 --> 0:14:00.640 Russia Ukraine situation has really really exaggerated this in a way, 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:02.680 and to the point now where we have Russia and 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:07.880 China are kind of teaming up and moving everybody moving 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.520 to the rest of the world away from the United 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:14.760 States grip not just the United States grip um on money, 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:18.080 but even on global trade and things like that um. 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.480 And so we see that now. Part of that is 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:23.480 is what's being done through what's called the Bricks b 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:27.280 R I c S. Bricks and the Bricks Nations stands 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:32.040 for Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, and the 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.840 Bricks Nations kind of have their own trade organizations and 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.760 they kind of they work together collectively. And what we've 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:41.840 seen since the Russia situation, partly because of what happened 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:46.120 with Russia. Russia decided to invade Ukraine, and the you know, 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:51.080 the the United States and NATO basically worked really hard 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.320 to shut them down, to sanction them, to seize their 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.040 bank accounts, freeze their bank accounts um and basically just 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:59.000 wipe them out. Now, the only country that's allowed to 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.720 actually go in a agressively you know bomb other nations 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.720 is the United States. The United States has no problem 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:07.560 dropping bombs in the Middle East for decades. As a 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:12.200 matter of fact, we spent twenty trillion dollars doing just 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:16.000 that over the last two decades um in Afghanistan. Um. 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:17.680 So the US can do that. We can go drop 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:19.680 bombs all day on people we don't know, with drone 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:22.320 strikes and whatnot. But if another nation does it, uh, 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:24.520 we got problems. Um. And so that's that's kind of 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:27.400 where we're at that now. I'm not condoning that. I'm 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:29.320 not a fan of violence. I think everybody should just 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.200 stand down. I want to see the end of the 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.160 giant nation state, which of course that's what we're witnessing 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.240 right now. So I'm not condoning that, but that's what 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:38.200 it is. But because of that, once Russia had their 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:41.000 bank accounts seased, then all the other nations are like, well, shoot, 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.400 if they're a nuclear power, you know, they're one of 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:45.560 three global superpowers and they have nukes, and if they 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:47.720 can get their bank accounts sees, what hope do I have? 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:50.720 And of course the answer is none, They have no hope. 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:52.440 And so that's why they're all like, well, shoot, we 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:55.440 better banded together. And do something else. China and Russia 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.040 have been working together exclusively, and so now these bricks 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:00.480 Nations have been growing. More nations want to join the 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:04.240 bricks and so we've seen earlier a couple of months ago, 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:08.160 Iran and Argentina applied to become part of the bricks Nations. 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:12.720 Now we have Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey trying to 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:16.520 become part of the bricks Nations. Now, Saudi Arabia has 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:21.840 a very very very big and pivotal piece of this. 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.160 I'm gonna break that down for you. Why Saudi Arabia, 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:26.480 of course you probably know all of those nations I 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:30.640 mentioned is where the world gets their oil. We're gonna 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.360 come back to that. So the bricks Nations are growing now. 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:39.520 The bricks Nations today account for over half of the 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:42.920 world's population. So more than half of the people alive 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:46.840 in the world today are in part of these bricks Nations. Now, 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:50.200 from a GDP standpoint, they're not the United States. The 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:53.400 United States is uh is is amazing, The United States 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:56.040 is amazingly blessed. I'm not super happy with the direction 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:59.640 that the United States is going, but America the piece 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.600 of and we are blessed by God. We have oceans 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:05.480 on both sides of us. We have rivers that run throughout. 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:07.840 We have the most arable land. We have the best 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:10.879 land to grow food. We have all our own energy, 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:14.320 we have the best climate. I mean, there's no other 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:21.080 place on this earth like America, the North American continent, um, 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:27.320 but other nations still exist. So they're still there. And 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:28.520 as a matter of fact, like I said, more than 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:30.800 half the world joins the bricks nations. Now, what that's 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:34.919 doing is that's breaking apart the singular polar world and 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:38.040 it's breaking it back into a multipolar world at least 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:41.960 into two, probably into three different kind of poles. Now, 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:45.439 part of that is the people, but part of it 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:47.159 is the money, and part of it is the energy. 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:49.080 So I want to break those down for you a 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:52.399 little bit. Now, big, big, big news happened on both 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:55.399 those fronts. And where the money and the energy goes, 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:58.959 which maybe money is energy, where that goes the rest 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:00.240 of the world goes. I'm gonna break that down for 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:01.920 you're listening to the Markma Show, of course, we're talking 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:05.520 about the decentralized revolution. Each end every week. I'm gonna 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:07.119 I'm gonna break this down for you. I gonna tell 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:08.520 you what you should be doing about it and what's 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:10.680 going to happen in the future. Get your pen in 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:12.360 the paper and don't go away. I'll be right back, 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:14.960 all right, Welcome back. You are listening to the Markma 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:17.680 Show and we are talking about the same thing needing 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:20.200 every week, the decentralized revolution, giving you to play by play, 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.000 giving you the signpost of how the world is shifting 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:25.639 from a singular pollar to a multipolar world looking at 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:28.760 through the lens of politics, finance, and technology. Of course, 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:33.080 that technology is bitcoin, um, and at a very interesting 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:34.919 time when the financial system is crashing and the political 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:36.760 system is changing, and then we have a new technology 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:41.560 like bitcoin. Alright, so big news happened this week. UM. 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:45.000 On the on the money front, so UM. The dollars 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:47.560 the reserve currency of the world, but most central banks 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:51.040 around the world still hold massive amounts of gold. Gold 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:53.400 has been money for five thousand years, and they want 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:56.520 to hold gold. The problem with gold, and especially younger 0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:59.080 people today, they've kind of given up on gold. And 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:00.760 part of the reason why they've got upon gold is 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:02.760 one because the government's want people to give up on gold. 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:04.760 In ninety three. Is a matter of fact, America made 0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:09.199 it illegal. Well one, they stole, yes, I'm using the 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:14.159
