WEBVTT - The Mark Moss Show Oct 04, 2021

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.080
<v Speaker 1>All right, I'm just gonna welcome you guys real quick.

0:00:02.120 --> 0:00:05.720
<v Speaker 1>You are listening to the brand new Mark Moss Show,

0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:07.880
<v Speaker 1>where I am going to take you through the world

0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:12.800
<v Speaker 1>of bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, this new system, the new financial system,

0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:15.040
<v Speaker 1>but even bigger than that. I'm gonna take you through

0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:18.040
<v Speaker 1>that each and every week into what I believe is

0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:23.040
<v Speaker 1>what I would call the biggest, the largest, a symmetric

0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:26.880
<v Speaker 1>opportunity that you'll ever see in your lifetime, that probably

0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>several generations will ever see in their lifetime. Now, what

0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:35.279
<v Speaker 1>does that mean A symmetric opportunity, Well, investors, real investors

0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:38.120
<v Speaker 1>are looking for things they call a symmetric opportunities and

0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:41.559
<v Speaker 1>that means that it has more upside than downside. Right,

0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:44.279
<v Speaker 1>so symmetric would be there the same. We don't want that.

0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I want more reward than the potential risk that I'm

0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:51.560
<v Speaker 1>putting out now. The way to get a symmetric opportunities

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 1>in life is to have a symmetric information. You have

0:00:56.120 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 1>to know something that most people don't know. Otherwise would

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:02.120
<v Speaker 1>be in the great majority, you'd be in the herd.

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>And uh, well, you're gonna find out in life that

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.960
<v Speaker 1>usually being in the herd is not where you want

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:11.680
<v Speaker 1>to be and if you want to get asymmetric opportunities,

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:13.080
<v Speaker 1>then you don't want to be in the herd. You

0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>need to be in front of the herd, right. You

0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 1>want to get into that position before the herd gets

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.959
<v Speaker 1>there and pushes that forward. And again, like I said,

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 1>the only way to do that is with a symmetric information,

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 1>which is what I'm going to bring to you each

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:31.959
<v Speaker 1>and every week. And so write this down, bookmark this time, stamp.

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 1>You do not want to miss this because it could

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 1>be the biggest opportunity of your lifetime. So you don't

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.400
<v Speaker 1>want to miss it. It's that important. So again, thanks

0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 1>for joining the Mark Moss Show. And so today we're

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna talk about bitcoin, we're gonna talk about cryptocurrencies, we're

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna talk about the revolution. Now. I've been doing a

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of work on my YouTube channel and on Twitter.

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 1>By the way, you can follow me on Twitter. It's

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 1>the number one Mark Moss and I talk about there's

0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>three revolutions that are all converging right now. And these

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:07.040
<v Speaker 1>are different revolutions. They're they're in different areas. Now. When

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 1>you're looking at financial markets, um typically we're looking for

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 1>things called indicators and indicators are things that we're hoping

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.840
<v Speaker 1>tell us what the future holds. Now. The thing about

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.520
<v Speaker 1>indicators is that you don't want to look at just

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 1>one indicator. You want to look at as many indicators

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.880
<v Speaker 1>as you possibly can, and then you're looking for them

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 1>to kind of have this consensus. You're looking for them

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 1>to kind of show you that there's this agreement there.

0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>And so when I'm looking at these three revolutions, I'm

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.679
<v Speaker 1>also looking for indicators. And so what a lot of

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>people look at is they go, well, um, shoot, the

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 1>financial system is overstressed. We can see that inflation is

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>running sky high. You know, the United States Federal Reserve,

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.399
<v Speaker 1>the Central Bank is you know, pumped in about eight

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>trillion dollars over the last eighteen months. We can see

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 1>that now the government in the United States is talking

0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 1>about a shutdown because the that's then they have to

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.120
<v Speaker 1>raise the death ceiling. And so we can see that

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:05.960
<v Speaker 1>the financial system is, you know, it's about out of moves.

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:07.919
<v Speaker 1>And if if we were playing a game, let's say

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.960
<v Speaker 1>we were playing I don't know, scrabble, um, eventually you

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 1>run out of moves. And when everybody runs out of moves,

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 1>what do you do, Well, you reset the game. And

0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 1>that's exactly what our financial system is doing. It's it's

0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 1>time to reset the game. Um. And so that's one indicator.

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 1>But what other indicators are there? And so there's um

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 1>that those move on eighty year cycles, eighty year time frames,

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.639
<v Speaker 1>all right, financial systems, financial revolutions work on about every

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>eighty year. So eighty years ago was the Bretton Woods Agreement.

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 1>That's when the whole world moved onto a gold standard.

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 1>All right. Now, I know we're gonna talk about bitcoin,

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 1>we talk about cryptocurrencies, but I'm trying to establish this

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 1>base for you. UM. Okay, So let's move on eighty

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 1>year cycles. Then there's another revolutionary cycle, um, and it's

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 1>a technological revolution cycle, and those move on fifty year

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>time frames. And a technological revolution is what we're talking

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 1>about right now. We're talking about something so big that

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 1>it literally changes all of humanity. It changes the course

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 1>of humanity. I know it's a big statement, but let

0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>me prove it to you. So I'm not talking about

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 1>a new technology. I'm not talking about the iPhone. I'm

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 1>not talking about Uber or Airbnb, and those were cool,

0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 1>but it didn't change humanity, right, I'm talking about something

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.360
<v Speaker 1>so big it changes, of course, humanity. So there's been

0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:23.599
<v Speaker 1>five in the last two and fifty years. We can

0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:27.839
<v Speaker 1>go back to the Sevres with the Industrial Revolution, which

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.599
<v Speaker 1>took people from the farms, from the from the cottage industry,

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.160
<v Speaker 1>and it put them into factories and built cities. It

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:38.240
<v Speaker 1>changed humanity. Approximately fifty years later we had the age

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:42.560
<v Speaker 1>of steam engines and steel. So for all of humanity

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 1>we had manpower, some horsepower. Now we had steam engines

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 1>that allowed us to move big loads across the world.

0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 1>And then we had steel. Before steel we could build

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, brick buildings two stories high. Now we could

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.920
<v Speaker 1>build skyscrapers, we could build bridges, etcetera, etcetera. Changed humanity.

0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Fast forwarding, we had the and mention of electricity. Now,

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 1>at the time, electricity was just like, um, you know,

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.600
<v Speaker 1>it was kind of like a digital candle. Uh, you know,

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 1>what do we need electricity before? We have candles? Candles

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 1>have worked good for a long time. Right. The candle

0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:16.159
<v Speaker 1>makers came out in this uh you know, coordinated effort

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.160
<v Speaker 1>to shut electricity down. We don't need electricity, we have candles, right.

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.080
<v Speaker 1>They want to protect their interest, of course, electricity is

0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 1>way bigger. At changed humanity and it allows us to

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 1>even do what we're doing today. You wouldn't even be

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:27.599
<v Speaker 1>able to hear me right this minute if we didn't

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 1>have electricity. Right, it was much bigger than it was.

0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.800
<v Speaker 1>It was a replacement for candles at the time, but

0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 1>it became something so much bigger. Fast forward, approximately another

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 1>fifty years, we have the age of oil, automobiles, and

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:44.880
<v Speaker 1>mass production, and it changed humanity imagined for all of humanity.

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.640
<v Speaker 1>People walked or rode horses and that was it. And

0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.359
<v Speaker 1>now they could drive, which means now they could transport

0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 1>materials and they could ship things and all these things. Um,

0:05:54.400 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 1>it changed humanity. Fast forward was the age of the microprocessor,

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 1>which have brought us personal computers, which then allowed us

0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:07.159
<v Speaker 1>to have smartphones, allowed us to have the Internet again,

0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.920
<v Speaker 1>things like we're using right this minute that I'm broadcasting

0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 1>to you from. And so you add plus fifty years,

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.440
<v Speaker 1>which puts us to right now we're facing in the

0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.520
<v Speaker 1>technological revolution. So that's a fifty year cycle. Then there's

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:22.360
<v Speaker 1>one more indicator. I'm going to break down and then

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.880
<v Speaker 1>we'll jump in. The other indicator is what I would

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 1>call political or social or cultural revolutions, and those work

0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 1>on about two hundred and fifty year time frames, and

0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.159
<v Speaker 1>about every two or fifty years we see a revolution.

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:37.479
<v Speaker 1>So two or fifty years ago from now was the

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>American and the French Revolution. Two and fifty years before

0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:45.240
<v Speaker 1>that was the Protestant Reformation. What both of those represented,

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:50.719
<v Speaker 1>those revolutions represented was um peak globalization or peak centralization,

0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 1>and the world pushed back on that and moved to decentralization.

0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.279
<v Speaker 1>So um as this two and fifty year cycle pushing

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:02.040
<v Speaker 1>back against centralization and even to decentralization is here two

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 1>and fifty year cycle, we'll have a fifty year technological

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.839
<v Speaker 1>revolution that's giving us exactly what we need. So the

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:13.680
<v Speaker 1>world's rejecting centralization to move to decentralization, and we have

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:19.280
<v Speaker 1>a brand new technology that gives us decentralization at the

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 1>very time we need it now. The other thing to

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:26.280
<v Speaker 1>keep in mind is that these technological revolutions drive financial markets.

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:29.080
<v Speaker 1>And so what's interesting as the two or fifty year

0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 1>revolution cycle is hitting at the same time as a

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 1>fifty year technological revolution cycle that then creates a new

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:38.559
<v Speaker 1>financial market, the financial system on an eight year cycle

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.080
<v Speaker 1>is also hitting at the same time converging and is

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:45.320
<v Speaker 1>ready to be reset. When you converge all three of

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:49.080
<v Speaker 1>these cycles, it creates the biggest disruption in the world.

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:51.480
<v Speaker 1>And for a lot of people, if they're not paying attention,

0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 1>is disastrous. But if you're paying attention, it can be

0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 1>the biggest opportunity of your life. And that is what

0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 1>we are talking about with bitcoin, with decentralization. And I

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.320
<v Speaker 1>am going to tell you how to play this by

0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:08.800
<v Speaker 1>giving you this asymmetric information that you need so you

0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:12.680
<v Speaker 1>can take advantage of this asymmetric opportunity. All right, now,

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about some things so you can

0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:18.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of really understand how big this is. UM. Some

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:23.000
<v Speaker 1>countries around the world are now talking about this. It

0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 1>went from you know, I think it was Gandhi who said,

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, first they laugh at you, then they try

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.160
<v Speaker 1>to fight you, and then they finally joined you kind

0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.920
<v Speaker 1>of thing. And that's exactly what we've been seeing, you know,

0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:34.679
<v Speaker 1>for the last decade, we've watched bitcoin kind of grow

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:38.000
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of people make fun of it. UM.

0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.200
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people think there's no use case for it,

0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.880
<v Speaker 1>there's no need for it. Then they're trying to fight

0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.920
<v Speaker 1>it and stop it. Um. You know, the governments are

0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:48.959
<v Speaker 1>trying to create regulations around it or make it illegal,

0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:52.719
<v Speaker 1>like one country just did this week, albeit for the

0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:56.720
<v Speaker 1>ninth time. UM. And some countries are actually joining it

0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:58.679
<v Speaker 1>and adopting it. And so I'm gonna tell you about

0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 1>that when we get I want I want to talk

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:04.640
<v Speaker 1>to you about which countries are trying to regulate it,

0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:07.880
<v Speaker 1>which countries are trying to make it illegal, and which

0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.840
<v Speaker 1>countries are adopting it. And when you can understand more

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:15.200
<v Speaker 1>importantly why this is happening, it will help you better

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:18.200
<v Speaker 1>prepare for what you need to do to take advantage

0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 1>of this. We'll talk about it when I get back

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.600
<v Speaker 1>in just a second. All right, you are back listening

0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:27.600
<v Speaker 1>to the Mark Moths Show of talking about the revolution

0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 1>of Bitcoin, of cryptocurrencies. And yeah, I'm not I'm not

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not trying to hype overhype this. I'm talking about

0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:39.280
<v Speaker 1>a revolution. If you missed the previous segment before the break,

0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 1>well you missed out where I set the stage of

0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:45.440
<v Speaker 1>these three revolutionary cycles that are converging right now. But

0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:47.560
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna keep moving forward on this. You're listening to

0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:51.160
<v Speaker 1>the Mark mos Show talking about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. And

0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 1>really the reason why I want to talk to you

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.199
<v Speaker 1>on this show about this is because it is the

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:59.079
<v Speaker 1>biggest opportunity of your life, the biggest asymmetric opportunity of

0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.960
<v Speaker 1>your life. But in order to navigate this correctly, you

0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:05.080
<v Speaker 1>have to have the asymmetric information. You have to have

0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.920
<v Speaker 1>the information that most people don't have. So, um, going

0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.400
<v Speaker 1>back into where we're talking about it, you know, I

0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:14.080
<v Speaker 1>was saying, how you know Gandhi's statement of first they

0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:15.719
<v Speaker 1>laugh at you, you know, then they try to fight you,

0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 1>and then they join you. And that's exactly what we've

0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:23.000
<v Speaker 1>seen this evolution of bitcoin take. And we've gone from that. Um,

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 1>we'll first they ignore you, then we moved to the

0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:29.200
<v Speaker 1>laughing at you. Everyone that's participated in this. Uh what

0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:33.199
<v Speaker 1>do they call it? Magic? Internet money? Are? They're ridiculous? Right,

0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Like I only trust things I can hold in my hand. Um.

0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:42.000
<v Speaker 1>You might hear the boomers talking about that, of course, anybody. Um, well,

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to exclude people by age group, but

0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:46.920
<v Speaker 1>I think by this point most people realize that digital

0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:49.160
<v Speaker 1>things are in factor real It's a matter of fact,

0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 1>over eight of our currency transactions that they are done digital.

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:54.199
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know why people have a hard time

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:58.560
<v Speaker 1>believing that magic digital money. Um. So they laughed at us. Um.

0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Of course, then they started to fight this, and so

0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:06.120
<v Speaker 1>we saw China come out and ban bitcoin, and then um,

0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.320
<v Speaker 1>they came out and banned it again, and then they

0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.120
<v Speaker 1>banned it again, and they banned it again. As a

0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:13.760
<v Speaker 1>matter of fact, Um, this week China came out and

0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:21.760
<v Speaker 1>said that they make all cryptocurrency transactions illegal. Now what's

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 1>interesting is I believe this is the eighth or ninth

0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:28.640
<v Speaker 1>time that China has banned it, and so I guess

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:32.640
<v Speaker 1>the first thing I would say is, Hmmm, it must

0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:36.040
<v Speaker 1>be pretty hard to ban if they've banned it nine

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.959
<v Speaker 1>times and they haven't even been able to get it done.

0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:41.720
<v Speaker 1>But of course they just continue to ramp it up

0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:45.120
<v Speaker 1>and ramp it up and ramp it up. And so. Um.

0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:48.199
<v Speaker 1>It was just a couple of months ago they banned

0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:53.000
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin mining and they pushed all the bitcoin miners out

0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.160
<v Speaker 1>of the country. I don't want to get deep into

0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:58.280
<v Speaker 1>the technical aspects of this for you guys that maybe

0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.120
<v Speaker 1>aren't up to speed on this, because it's really not

0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:04.000
<v Speaker 1>that important. Um. But um, in order for the bitcoin

0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:07.600
<v Speaker 1>network to work and to remain to keep its level

0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:13.040
<v Speaker 1>of decentralization. It's a decentralized technology, which means nobody controls it,

0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:15.920
<v Speaker 1>and we want that. We don't want anyone to control it.

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.920
<v Speaker 1>And the reason why it's decentralized with nobody controlling it

0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:24.040
<v Speaker 1>is because, um, every anybody could and I do this,

0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:25.599
<v Speaker 1>and I would recommend you too as well, once you

0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.240
<v Speaker 1>learn about it. But anybody could run a copy of

0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:31.199
<v Speaker 1>the database and it's called a node, and it's about

0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.560
<v Speaker 1>three hundred gigabytes, it's not very big. On a small,

0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 1>little portable hard drive smaller than your your iPhone, you

0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:38.240
<v Speaker 1>could run that and you just plug it into your

0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:40.160
<v Speaker 1>WiFi route and you can run your own note and

0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:42.880
<v Speaker 1>you run an entire copy of the database. And there's

0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:45.440
<v Speaker 1>people all over the world running them and that's what

0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:49.800
<v Speaker 1>keeps the network decentralized, so nobody can control it. And

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:54.560
<v Speaker 1>then the miners are computers that actually helped process the transactions. Well,

0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.600
<v Speaker 1>one of the big gripes of people that want to

0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:02.199
<v Speaker 1>fight against bitcoin say that, well, but China had control

0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 1>of the miners because they had over fifty one cent

0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:11.599
<v Speaker 1>of those miners there. Now, because it's decentralized, because everybody

0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:15.000
<v Speaker 1>can run their own copy of the database. In order

0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:18.559
<v Speaker 1>for a transaction to happen, because it's decentralized, the network

0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:22.880
<v Speaker 1>has to achieve consensus. That means the network has to

0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:26.240
<v Speaker 1>agree that this transaction is valid. Again, not trying to

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.640
<v Speaker 1>go super deep into this um, but because China had

0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:35.360
<v Speaker 1>over fifty of these miners, theoretically they could have potentially

0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:38.839
<v Speaker 1>maybe done some nefarious actions on the network. Well, a

0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:42.160
<v Speaker 1>couple of months ago, China kicked them all out of

0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:46.679
<v Speaker 1>the country, basically shut down over half of the network. Now,

0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:48.760
<v Speaker 1>they could have tried to coop it and take it over,

0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:52.040
<v Speaker 1>but instead they kicked them out. Um and we we

0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:55.240
<v Speaker 1>we witnessed in real time, but probably one of the

0:13:55.400 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 1>greatest technological marvels ever witnessed. M Imagine if Amazon, with

0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:06.040
<v Speaker 1>their global distribution centers and their global networks. Imagine if

0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:10.280
<v Speaker 1>half of Amazon's network shut down overnight and was forced

0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:14.600
<v Speaker 1>to relocate. What type of disruption do you think that

0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:18.120
<v Speaker 1>would take, what kind of how long do you think

0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:21.600
<v Speaker 1>that would take Amazon to literally pack up their distribution

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 1>centers and relocate them across the world, And what disruption

0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.400
<v Speaker 1>would that have to the Amazon distribution or network or

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Coca cola or whatever. Well, we witnessed it happened on

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.640
<v Speaker 1>the bitcoin network. Um, and all those miners left China

0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:35.800
<v Speaker 1>and got redistributed around the world. And you know, for

0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:39.120
<v Speaker 1>a month or two, um, we saw you know, transaction

0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:41.280
<v Speaker 1>times get a little bit more expensive or or take

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:43.720
<v Speaker 1>a little bit longer. But it absorbed it pretty well.

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Well that was a few months ago. Now, China came

0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.760
<v Speaker 1>out this week and said again that they want to

0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:53.480
<v Speaker 1>declare all transactions illegal. And they say, and I'm going

0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:55.680
<v Speaker 1>to quote them per their press release, it says, the

0:14:55.720 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 1>decision was made to quote in order to safeguards people's

0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:07.240
<v Speaker 1>properties and maintain keyps here and maintain economic, financial, and

0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:14.080
<v Speaker 1>social order end quote. See what they're saying here, did

0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:15.960
<v Speaker 1>you hear that part? Let me read it again. Quote

0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.880
<v Speaker 1>in order to safeguard people's properties and important part here

0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:26.280
<v Speaker 1>maintain economic, financial, and social order. End quote. Well, what

0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:31.000
<v Speaker 1>they're really saying is that people shouldn't have the ability

0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:35.479
<v Speaker 1>to choose whatever they want to store their wealth. And

0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.920
<v Speaker 1>what they're saying is that people shouldn't have the freedom

0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:43.320
<v Speaker 1>to use whatever they think is money. Because per what

0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 1>they're saying here, if you're reading between the lines, what

0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:49.360
<v Speaker 1>this quote is saying is that if you use another

0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:54.760
<v Speaker 1>form of money, you'll disrupt the economic and financial and

0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:59.880
<v Speaker 1>social order. Now why is that all right? Why is

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:03.280
<v Speaker 1>that happening? So, like I said earlier, the first thing

0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.240
<v Speaker 1>is uh, I mean, they're obviously having to ban it

0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:08.160
<v Speaker 1>multiple times, so the banning doesn't really work. But I

0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:11.520
<v Speaker 1>want to tell you what they actually mean by that piece.

0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.640
<v Speaker 1>There's something that I want to introduce to you. It's

0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:20.040
<v Speaker 1>called the Mundle Fleming tri lemma. All right, Now, a dilemma.

0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.600
<v Speaker 1>You're probably familiar with that word, right, It's a dilemma. Well,

0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:24.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm forced to choose one or the other. Well, a

0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:27.920
<v Speaker 1>tri lemma is similar, except for now there's three options

0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.600
<v Speaker 1>and you can't have all three. You've got to choose

0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:35.160
<v Speaker 1>between two out of the three. And that is what

0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:38.160
<v Speaker 1>China is facing. But it's not just China. You need

0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:43.160
<v Speaker 1>to understand this Mundal Fleming tri lemma because every nation

0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:46.640
<v Speaker 1>that controls their own money is going to be facing

0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:50.600
<v Speaker 1>the exact same try lemma, the exact same problem. And

0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:52.240
<v Speaker 1>so I want to explain that to you. But also

0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk to you about that even though

0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.080
<v Speaker 1>they've banned all the mining and kicked them out of

0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:04.040
<v Speaker 1>the country, and now they've may all cryptocurrency illegal. As

0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:08.920
<v Speaker 1>of yesterday, there's still almost a hundred and fifty bitcoin

0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.919
<v Speaker 1>nodes running in China. Remember I told you the nodes,

0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:15.360
<v Speaker 1>they run the entire copy of the database, and so

0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:18.200
<v Speaker 1>as of yesterday, at the time of this recording, there's

0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:21.800
<v Speaker 1>over a hundred about a hundred and fifty of these

0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:25.840
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin nodes running. And so I want to show you

0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.880
<v Speaker 1>that because it's it's important to understand the network cannot

0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:32.199
<v Speaker 1>be shut down. That's why it's a revolutionary And I

0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:33.960
<v Speaker 1>want to talk to you about this tri limit because,

0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:36.840
<v Speaker 1>like I said, if your country controls their own currency,

0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:41.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, the United States or Europe ECB, then you

0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:44.320
<v Speaker 1>need to understand this. We're gonna talk about that. I

0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:46.520
<v Speaker 1>want to I want to explain to you how this works.

0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:48.800
<v Speaker 1>And once you see how simple this is, you're gonna

0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:51.399
<v Speaker 1>be able to understand this for what it really is.

0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:53.159
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna be right back with you in a second.

0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:56.600
<v Speaker 1>All right, welcome back. Now you're listening to the brand

0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.960
<v Speaker 1>new Mark Moss Show, where I am going to be

0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:03.560
<v Speaker 1>bringing you the most up to date, most recent information

0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:07.600
<v Speaker 1>on bitcoin, on cryptocurrencies, and the state of the financial

0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:11.400
<v Speaker 1>system in the world today. Now, just real quick, real quick,

0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:13.320
<v Speaker 1>before you make up your mind if this is for

0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:15.119
<v Speaker 1>you or if it isn't, let me just tell you

0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:18.080
<v Speaker 1>real quick, this is and I'm going to continue to

0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:20.000
<v Speaker 1>prove this to you each and every week. This is

0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:24.080
<v Speaker 1>the biggest opportunity that you have ever seen in your lifetime.

0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.560
<v Speaker 1>And not just your lifetime or my lifetime, but even

0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:28.680
<v Speaker 1>like our kids and our parents and our grandparents. I'm

0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:34.840
<v Speaker 1>talking multigenerational because it's part of a fifty year technological revolution,

0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:38.000
<v Speaker 1>all right. Now. The way that you take advantage of

0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:43.120
<v Speaker 1>these massive opportunities asymmetric opportunities by having asymmetric information, information

0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:45.480
<v Speaker 1>that most people don't have, which is why I am

0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:48.480
<v Speaker 1>going to bring that to you each and every week. So, uh,

0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:51.280
<v Speaker 1>take note of what, what station, and what time you're

0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:53.480
<v Speaker 1>listening to this as of right now, and set to

0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:55.800
<v Speaker 1>your calendar reminder to tune in with me each and

0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:58.840
<v Speaker 1>every week, because I guarantee it will be worth your time.

0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:02.160
<v Speaker 1>It could change your life. Now, jumping back into where

0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:05.159
<v Speaker 1>we were before the break, we're talking about how China

0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:11.159
<v Speaker 1>has uh again banned bitcoin and band cryptocurrencies multiple times,

0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:14.240
<v Speaker 1>but a couple of things. One, I said that it's

0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:15.960
<v Speaker 1>not working and that's why they have to ban it

0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:18.480
<v Speaker 1>six and seven and eight and nine times, because it's

0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:21.359
<v Speaker 1>just they can't actually do it UM. And even after

0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:25.400
<v Speaker 1>they've done this final declaration of banning again UM, as

0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:28.720
<v Speaker 1>of yesterday, we can see that they're still over about

0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:31.720
<v Speaker 1>about a hundred and fifty bitcoin nodes that are still

0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:35.920
<v Speaker 1>running UM in China and so UM. You know, they

0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:38.439
<v Speaker 1>can tell you can't do it, but can they really

0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:40.840
<v Speaker 1>stop it. It's digital and that's something that there's something

0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:42.520
<v Speaker 1>to talk about, and I'd love to dig into that,

0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:44.560
<v Speaker 1>but I want to jump back to one other point,

0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:46.680
<v Speaker 1>and the point that I was talking about before we

0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:49.399
<v Speaker 1>went to the break is that there's something known as

0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:52.400
<v Speaker 1>the Mundo Flemming try limit. And you have to understand

0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:55.840
<v Speaker 1>this because this is the reason why China is trying

0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:59.920
<v Speaker 1>to ban it. This is the same reason why regardless

0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:02.720
<v Speaker 1>of what country you may be from, if they control

0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:06.320
<v Speaker 1>their own currency, they're facing the exact same try, lemma.

0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:09.360
<v Speaker 1>And so what is that try lemma? Let me break

0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:11.640
<v Speaker 1>it down for you. If you were with us before

0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:15.040
<v Speaker 1>the break, I said that the quote from China is

0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:20.720
<v Speaker 1>quote in order to safeguards people's properties and maintain economic, financial,

0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:24.720
<v Speaker 1>and social order. All right, So the trial emma helps

0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:27.560
<v Speaker 1>us understand why they said that piece. So the three

0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:30.359
<v Speaker 1>things are are First, a nation, like I said, I

0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:33.080
<v Speaker 1>can only keep two of these three policies at the

0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:35.600
<v Speaker 1>same time. So the first is a managed or a

0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:41.960
<v Speaker 1>fixed currency, um. The second is managing the interest rates,

0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:46.040
<v Speaker 1>and the third is free capital flowing in and out

0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:48.160
<v Speaker 1>with other nations. All right, So let me break those

0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:52.240
<v Speaker 1>down for you. So the first is uh is uh

0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:56.879
<v Speaker 1>the fixed currency. So you know nations uh, they're forced

0:20:56.880 --> 0:21:00.199
<v Speaker 1>to choose, right, they can have the good stuff that

0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:03.000
<v Speaker 1>evens out the economy. So it's the fixed currency and

0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:06.000
<v Speaker 1>managing interest rates. And so that's what you know, like

0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:08.560
<v Speaker 1>the United States or China does, right, They manage the

0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:11.440
<v Speaker 1>amount of money in the system. They try to manage

0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:16.040
<v Speaker 1>the currency the strength. You hear about nations um devaluing

0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:19.400
<v Speaker 1>their currencies against each other, right, And so they manage

0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:21.719
<v Speaker 1>the strength of their currency. Where they do that by

0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:24.680
<v Speaker 1>the amount of the currency that they produce, and they

0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:27.040
<v Speaker 1>also do it with interest rates. So in the United

0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:30.520
<v Speaker 1>States they've pushed interest rates down to basically zero. Most

0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:32.920
<v Speaker 1>of the other nations are at zero or even negative

0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:35.400
<v Speaker 1>at this point, um. And they do that. So they

0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:38.240
<v Speaker 1>manage the currency, they manage the interest rates. But then

0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:41.880
<v Speaker 1>the third pieces the free flowing capital in and out

0:21:41.880 --> 0:21:45.320
<v Speaker 1>of the country. And so any nation once money coming

0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:48.840
<v Speaker 1>in in, right, they want investment capital coming into the nation.

0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:52.399
<v Speaker 1>They want other nations to buy their debt by their bonds,

0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:56.080
<v Speaker 1>loan them money, etcetera. All right, but the problem is

0:21:56.520 --> 0:22:00.639
<v Speaker 1>the try lima. At some point those policy he's become

0:22:00.760 --> 0:22:03.359
<v Speaker 1>at odds with each other. And so let me give

0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:08.040
<v Speaker 1>you an example. When currency valuations or interest rates get

0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:12.840
<v Speaker 1>out of whack um. So, for example, interest rates go negative.

0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:16.359
<v Speaker 1>About half of the world's bonds right now are negative yielding,

0:22:16.440 --> 0:22:19.240
<v Speaker 1>meaning meeting when you loan the money, instead of getting

0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:22.520
<v Speaker 1>interest back, you're actually paying them tomorrow um. And so

0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:25.080
<v Speaker 1>what that means is that when when that happens, guess what,

0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:27.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to put my money in that country.

0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:30.720
<v Speaker 1>So the money leaves, it starts to flow out of

0:22:30.760 --> 0:22:33.760
<v Speaker 1>that economy. But what happens when that happens, when all

0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:37.200
<v Speaker 1>the capital starts leaving the country, it sends the country

0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:40.639
<v Speaker 1>into what we'd call a death spiral. All right, And

0:22:40.680 --> 0:22:43.040
<v Speaker 1>We've seen this many times and looking at Asia and

0:22:43.080 --> 0:22:47.720
<v Speaker 1>the perfect example of that. But but the Chinese they

0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:49.600
<v Speaker 1>want it all, and so does the United States, and

0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:51.560
<v Speaker 1>so does the ECB. In every other country they want

0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:53.760
<v Speaker 1>it all, but of course per the try limit, they

0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:57.320
<v Speaker 1>can't have it. And so they want to manage their

0:22:57.320 --> 0:22:59.080
<v Speaker 1>currency in the interest rates. They want to keep a

0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:01.720
<v Speaker 1>grip on that, but they don't want the capital to

0:23:01.800 --> 0:23:06.440
<v Speaker 1>flow away. But that causes friction on the economy because

0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:11.080
<v Speaker 1>people myself, businesses, they're always going to try to maximize

0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:13.800
<v Speaker 1>our wealth. And so if if I'm stuck in a

0:23:13.840 --> 0:23:18.159
<v Speaker 1>currency that's losing value really quickly, like for example, the

0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:23.359
<v Speaker 1>US dollar lost over twenty five percent of it's purchasing

0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:25.440
<v Speaker 1>power last year. That means if you had a hundred

0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:27.120
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars in the bank account last year, it buys

0:23:27.119 --> 0:23:30.840
<v Speaker 1>about seventy five thousand dollars worth of goods today. We'll shoot.

0:23:31.119 --> 0:23:33.600
<v Speaker 1>That doesn't sound very good, does it, which is why

0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:36.520
<v Speaker 1>people are rushing to buy other things now. If you're

0:23:36.520 --> 0:23:39.800
<v Speaker 1>in countries that have massive inflation like Lebanon for example,

0:23:39.840 --> 0:23:44.720
<v Speaker 1>that saw about pent inflation in a year, or Venezuela,

0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:48.800
<v Speaker 1>let's see inflation year you're trying to get out of

0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:51.480
<v Speaker 1>that currency and move into another currency. I don't want

0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:54.960
<v Speaker 1>to hold the Lebanon or the Venezuelan currency. All move

0:23:55.000 --> 0:23:58.639
<v Speaker 1>into the US dollar currency, right because that's not losing value.

0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:02.760
<v Speaker 1>But the more they do that, the more it crashes

0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:06.840
<v Speaker 1>the economy. So what do they do. Well, what they

0:24:06.880 --> 0:24:09.240
<v Speaker 1>do is they make it where it's impossible for you

0:24:09.280 --> 0:24:11.120
<v Speaker 1>to move your money out of the currency. It's what's

0:24:11.160 --> 0:24:13.520
<v Speaker 1>called capital controls. It's kind of the final stage that

0:24:13.560 --> 0:24:16.000
<v Speaker 1>any empire would have UM and they would do that.

0:24:16.080 --> 0:24:22.080
<v Speaker 1>And so if they can ban cryptocurrency, they can remove

0:24:22.119 --> 0:24:25.000
<v Speaker 1>away for people to get out of the Chinese currency.

0:24:25.160 --> 0:24:29.399
<v Speaker 1>That makes sense, That's exactly what's happening, uh in China.

0:24:29.440 --> 0:24:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Of course it's not easy to move into other currencies,

0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:33.440
<v Speaker 1>but people have been able to at least move into

0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:36.680
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, and so China doesn't want that. They

0:24:36.720 --> 0:24:40.000
<v Speaker 1>do not want an escape valve, an escape hap to

0:24:40.200 --> 0:24:41.959
<v Speaker 1>a life raft, whatever you want to call. They want

0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:44.920
<v Speaker 1>to keep people trapped in there. Now. It's also no

0:24:45.000 --> 0:24:48.440
<v Speaker 1>coincidence that China at the same time is rolling out

0:24:48.520 --> 0:24:51.600
<v Speaker 1>their own what we call central bank digital currency a

0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:54.919
<v Speaker 1>cbdc UM. They're calling an e c n Y a

0:24:54.960 --> 0:24:58.520
<v Speaker 1>digital renibby, And basically they're rolling this out there are

0:24:58.560 --> 0:25:00.199
<v Speaker 1>going to be the first nation in the world to

0:25:00.320 --> 0:25:03.880
<v Speaker 1>have their own central bank digital currency. Of course it's

0:25:03.880 --> 0:25:06.880
<v Speaker 1>controlled by the People's Bank of China. And they're gonna say, well,

0:25:06.920 --> 0:25:11.600
<v Speaker 1>it's just like bitcoin, it's just like cryptocurrencies, but it's

0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:17.119
<v Speaker 1>without all the risks. Well, what risks the risk to

0:25:17.200 --> 0:25:20.920
<v Speaker 1>the financial system, right, and so you can understand per

0:25:20.960 --> 0:25:25.080
<v Speaker 1>this trilemma. If they manipulate the currency and the interest rates,

0:25:25.080 --> 0:25:27.040
<v Speaker 1>then it's going to force people out of the currency

0:25:27.080 --> 0:25:30.439
<v Speaker 1>and and and stop flows in. And so I'll just

0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:33.080
<v Speaker 1>ask you, does the country that you're in, which I'm

0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:35.199
<v Speaker 1>guessing at this point you're listening from the United States,

0:25:36.000 --> 0:25:37.719
<v Speaker 1>and we have the United States Federal Reserve, do they

0:25:37.720 --> 0:25:41.320
<v Speaker 1>face the same problem. Well, let's see, they've added about

0:25:41.320 --> 0:25:43.560
<v Speaker 1>eight trillion dollars in the last year. They've pushed interest

0:25:43.600 --> 0:25:47.760
<v Speaker 1>rates to zero. And if people start moving their money

0:25:47.800 --> 0:25:51.840
<v Speaker 1>into different types of assets or currencies, then they'll find

0:25:52.040 --> 0:25:56.480
<v Speaker 1>themselves in the same problem. Right, If a lot of

0:25:56.480 --> 0:25:59.280
<v Speaker 1>people move, they got a problem on their hands, which,

0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:03.560
<v Speaker 1>of course is the point, right, it is the point.

0:26:03.680 --> 0:26:06.680
<v Speaker 1>We're not gonna get super deep into that. But understanding that,

0:26:07.080 --> 0:26:09.760
<v Speaker 1>then going back to this quote from China, you understand

0:26:09.840 --> 0:26:14.200
<v Speaker 1>what they're saying in order to safeguard or maintain economic

0:26:14.240 --> 0:26:17.399
<v Speaker 1>and financial and social order. So what China saying is

0:26:17.440 --> 0:26:21.560
<v Speaker 1>if everybody leaves our Chinese dollar and goes into cryptocurrencies,

0:26:21.840 --> 0:26:25.120
<v Speaker 1>it's going to disrupt social order because without our ability

0:26:25.200 --> 0:26:30.080
<v Speaker 1>to manipulate the monetary supply and manipulate people's behavior, then

0:26:30.160 --> 0:26:34.560
<v Speaker 1>we'll lose control over the financial and social order. And

0:26:34.600 --> 0:26:38.840
<v Speaker 1>so now you understand what that means. Um. Now that

0:26:38.920 --> 0:26:41.600
<v Speaker 1>you understand what that means, and you understand what countries

0:26:41.640 --> 0:26:44.760
<v Speaker 1>that you may be in that could cause bigger risk,

0:26:46.440 --> 0:26:49.280
<v Speaker 1>now let's look at the upside, right, Let's see what

0:26:49.520 --> 0:26:54.119
<v Speaker 1>the opportunities are for the US and for other people

0:26:54.200 --> 0:26:57.040
<v Speaker 1>as well, because, like I said, this is times of

0:26:57.040 --> 0:27:01.120
<v Speaker 1>alatility like this, um, Well, for some people that aren't

0:27:01.119 --> 0:27:03.520
<v Speaker 1>paying attention, it ends up it could be the biggest

0:27:03.680 --> 0:27:05.800
<v Speaker 1>disaster of their life. But for those that are paying

0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:09.000
<v Speaker 1>attention and even better position for it, it's the largest

0:27:09.040 --> 0:27:11.520
<v Speaker 1>opportunity of their life. And so I want to tell

0:27:11.560 --> 0:27:14.880
<v Speaker 1>you about that opportunity and more importantly, how to position

0:27:15.119 --> 0:27:17.680
<v Speaker 1>for that, which we will as soon as I come back.

0:27:17.760 --> 0:27:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Remember you are listening to the Mark Moss Show, and

0:27:20.520 --> 0:27:23.119
<v Speaker 1>I'll be back in just a second. All right, you

0:27:23.119 --> 0:27:26.600
<v Speaker 1>are back with the brand new Mark Moss Show, where

0:27:26.640 --> 0:27:29.680
<v Speaker 1>I am bringing to you each and every week, literally

0:27:30.040 --> 0:27:34.000
<v Speaker 1>the biggest opportunity of your life, and not just your life,

0:27:34.000 --> 0:27:36.320
<v Speaker 1>not just my life. I'm talking about multiple generations and

0:27:36.359 --> 0:27:41.280
<v Speaker 1>of course I am talking about the technological revolution of bitcoin,

0:27:41.720 --> 0:27:47.919
<v Speaker 1>of decentralization of cryptocurrencies, and as I've been saying, it

0:27:48.040 --> 0:27:50.480
<v Speaker 1>is the biggest asymmetric opportunity of our life. We have

0:27:50.520 --> 0:27:52.760
<v Speaker 1>more upside than downside, and you get that by having

0:27:52.880 --> 0:27:55.399
<v Speaker 1>a symmetric information, which is what I'm gonna bring to

0:27:55.440 --> 0:27:58.400
<v Speaker 1>you each and every week. So make sure you have bookmarked. Uh,

0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:00.919
<v Speaker 1>put a put a put a time, a date on

0:28:01.000 --> 0:28:03.919
<v Speaker 1>your calendar right now while you're listening for the station

0:28:03.960 --> 0:28:07.479
<v Speaker 1>that it's on. All Right. The other thing, Uh, this

0:28:07.560 --> 0:28:09.239
<v Speaker 1>is a brand new show and I'm gonna bring you

0:28:09.400 --> 0:28:12.879
<v Speaker 1>so much value. It's going to change your life. And

0:28:12.920 --> 0:28:15.480
<v Speaker 1>what I'd love is if you tweet at me, Um,

0:28:15.480 --> 0:28:18.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm the number one. Mark Moss is the numeral one.

0:28:18.520 --> 0:28:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Mark Moss sent me a tweet, And if you ask

0:28:20.640 --> 0:28:23.399
<v Speaker 1>me a question, put hashtag Mark Moss Show and I

0:28:23.440 --> 0:28:27.120
<v Speaker 1>will answer your question on the radio on the next show.

0:28:27.119 --> 0:28:29.239
<v Speaker 1>All right, So I'd love to interact you. I'd love

0:28:29.240 --> 0:28:30.480
<v Speaker 1>to answer your questions. I want to know what you

0:28:30.480 --> 0:28:32.199
<v Speaker 1>want to hear about, because I want to bring you

0:28:32.240 --> 0:28:33.959
<v Speaker 1>the things you want to hear about. It's not about me,

0:28:34.000 --> 0:28:36.480
<v Speaker 1>it's about you, all right. I want to tell you

0:28:36.520 --> 0:28:37.800
<v Speaker 1>what I wish I could hear if I was on

0:28:37.840 --> 0:28:39.720
<v Speaker 1>the other side of table. Now back to where we

0:28:39.720 --> 0:28:44.240
<v Speaker 1>were talking about, um, you know, China band it again,

0:28:45.640 --> 0:28:48.160
<v Speaker 1>why they're not really able to shut it down. We

0:28:48.280 --> 0:28:53.160
<v Speaker 1>talked about why they need to shut this down, um,

0:28:53.200 --> 0:28:55.880
<v Speaker 1>and why other countries may need to shut this down

0:28:55.880 --> 0:28:58.440
<v Speaker 1>as well. I introduced the try limma to you, and

0:28:58.480 --> 0:29:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I explained to you what that try lima was. Now

0:29:01.280 --> 0:29:04.560
<v Speaker 1>jumping back into it, past the trilemma, I want to

0:29:04.600 --> 0:29:07.640
<v Speaker 1>explain to you what the opportunity is. And so China

0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:12.200
<v Speaker 1>has basically kicked all bitcoin mining and has now banned

0:29:12.240 --> 0:29:16.240
<v Speaker 1>all its people from participating in bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Now,

0:29:16.320 --> 0:29:20.000
<v Speaker 1>a country cannot stop bitcoin. You can't stop it now.

0:29:20.040 --> 0:29:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Most countries know this. Many of the lawmakers in the

0:29:22.800 --> 0:29:26.840
<v Speaker 1>United States know this. They can't stop it. They can't

0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:30.080
<v Speaker 1>shut it down. The only thing they can do is

0:29:30.400 --> 0:29:33.560
<v Speaker 1>make it illegal for their own people, their own citizens,

0:29:33.600 --> 0:29:36.040
<v Speaker 1>to participate in so they can say, hey, if we

0:29:36.160 --> 0:29:37.840
<v Speaker 1>catch you, we'll put you in prison for life or

0:29:37.840 --> 0:29:40.640
<v Speaker 1>something like that. But they can't stop it. And so

0:29:40.760 --> 0:29:44.280
<v Speaker 1>really what they're doing is they're just preventing their people

0:29:44.880 --> 0:29:49.040
<v Speaker 1>from having this opportunity, and it just moves to what

0:29:49.120 --> 0:29:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I call the free part of the world right and

0:29:51.600 --> 0:29:54.080
<v Speaker 1>so UM for the it's a little bit of game

0:29:54.120 --> 0:29:56.560
<v Speaker 1>theory where if a few countries want to shut it down,

0:29:56.600 --> 0:29:59.480
<v Speaker 1>the countries that adopted are going to have this competitive advantage.

0:29:59.520 --> 0:30:04.120
<v Speaker 1>And so right now is this opportunity for the entire

0:30:04.200 --> 0:30:08.320
<v Speaker 1>United States. UM. China has just kicked all the mining out,

0:30:08.480 --> 0:30:11.480
<v Speaker 1>and where the majority of that mining, the computer processing

0:30:11.600 --> 0:30:16.280
<v Speaker 1>power has gone has been to the United States. Texas

0:30:16.320 --> 0:30:18.840
<v Speaker 1>has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of that. UM.

0:30:18.840 --> 0:30:21.959
<v Speaker 1>Texas has of course the oil industry, the energy industry,

0:30:22.040 --> 0:30:26.280
<v Speaker 1>so not just oil, but natural gas, etcetera. More energy

0:30:26.320 --> 0:30:28.720
<v Speaker 1>than they know what to do with, and they are

0:30:28.760 --> 0:30:31.680
<v Speaker 1>able to now take this natural gas that's being right

0:30:31.680 --> 0:30:35.360
<v Speaker 1>now at this moment completely wasted, literally wasted, literally being

0:30:36.040 --> 0:30:39.000
<v Speaker 1>m vented off into the atmosphere or flamed off. They

0:30:39.000 --> 0:30:42.600
<v Speaker 1>burn it and they can take that trash and turn

0:30:42.640 --> 0:30:45.480
<v Speaker 1>into treasure. They can take that trash, that natural gas,

0:30:45.520 --> 0:30:48.440
<v Speaker 1>and they can convert it into energy, into electricity that

0:30:48.480 --> 0:30:51.280
<v Speaker 1>can power the bitcoin network. And so that's why so

0:30:51.360 --> 0:30:53.720
<v Speaker 1>much of this that's left China has come to the

0:30:53.760 --> 0:30:56.760
<v Speaker 1>United States and specifically Texas. And so this is a

0:30:56.800 --> 0:31:01.120
<v Speaker 1>massive opportunity for the United States to come out ahead

0:31:01.160 --> 0:31:03.800
<v Speaker 1>on this UM. This is uh, you know, an order

0:31:03.840 --> 0:31:07.400
<v Speaker 1>of national security, right, I mean, throughout the beginning of

0:31:07.440 --> 0:31:12.960
<v Speaker 1>time UM nations really had the you know, the nations

0:31:13.000 --> 0:31:16.720
<v Speaker 1>that had natural resources were the ones that really came

0:31:16.760 --> 0:31:19.920
<v Speaker 1>out ahead, right if they had gold, if they had oil, etcetera.

0:31:20.440 --> 0:31:22.680
<v Speaker 1>And now energy is one of those things. And having

0:31:22.720 --> 0:31:26.080
<v Speaker 1>the ability to mind bitcoin is a big opportunity, and

0:31:26.120 --> 0:31:28.680
<v Speaker 1>not just for the country, but also for the people

0:31:29.000 --> 0:31:31.800
<v Speaker 1>of the United States as well. And so which way

0:31:31.840 --> 0:31:34.040
<v Speaker 1>will the United States go? We'll have to wait and

0:31:34.080 --> 0:31:38.000
<v Speaker 1>see my opinion. And I've done several videos on this topic,

0:31:38.000 --> 0:31:42.680
<v Speaker 1>specifically on my YouTube channel UM talking about how one

0:31:42.880 --> 0:31:45.960
<v Speaker 1>why the US would not want to why it would

0:31:45.960 --> 0:31:48.800
<v Speaker 1>really hurt the United States if they made it illegal UM.

0:31:48.880 --> 0:31:51.120
<v Speaker 1>And even more importantly, how they couldn't do it even

0:31:51.160 --> 0:31:54.880
<v Speaker 1>if they tried. UM. And so I think or maybe

0:31:55.000 --> 0:31:59.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm hopeful, but I think I'm hopeful that I think

0:31:59.120 --> 0:32:02.120
<v Speaker 1>that the United States seize this opportunity. I know there's

0:32:02.160 --> 0:32:04.800
<v Speaker 1>at least a few dozen lawmakers in the government in

0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:07.560
<v Speaker 1>the United States right now that understand this, uh, this

0:32:07.640 --> 0:32:12.840
<v Speaker 1>opportunity that's available, and they want to jump on this. UM. Now,

0:32:12.960 --> 0:32:14.560
<v Speaker 1>by the way, you're listening to the Mark Maas Show,

0:32:14.600 --> 0:32:17.000
<v Speaker 1>brand new show. I'm gonna bring to you the latest

0:32:17.080 --> 0:32:21.360
<v Speaker 1>information on bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in the decentralized Revolution each

0:32:21.360 --> 0:32:24.160
<v Speaker 1>and every week, so I give you the asymmetric information

0:32:24.280 --> 0:32:28.000
<v Speaker 1>you need to have the asymmetric opportunity now. UM, if

0:32:28.000 --> 0:32:30.600
<v Speaker 1>you're not following me on Twitter, send me a tweet

0:32:30.760 --> 0:32:33.720
<v Speaker 1>one Mark Moss at me there, ask me a question

0:32:34.000 --> 0:32:35.680
<v Speaker 1>and I will make sure to answer it on my

0:32:35.720 --> 0:32:38.960
<v Speaker 1>next show. All right now, UM. On top of this

0:32:39.040 --> 0:32:42.800
<v Speaker 1>opportunity that we have, UM, right, UM, or the United

0:32:42.800 --> 0:32:45.760
<v Speaker 1>States could have, they could really come up with China

0:32:45.840 --> 0:32:49.120
<v Speaker 1>kicking it out UM. But at the same time they

0:32:49.160 --> 0:32:51.640
<v Speaker 1>could not write and the United States also is faced

0:32:51.640 --> 0:32:54.480
<v Speaker 1>with the same try Lemma, the China is and so

0:32:54.680 --> 0:32:57.080
<v Speaker 1>what will they do in regards to that? Try Lemma. Now,

0:32:57.120 --> 0:32:59.280
<v Speaker 1>they could try to regulate it out of existence. Again,

0:32:59.280 --> 0:33:00.840
<v Speaker 1>they can't shut it down own, but they could make

0:33:00.880 --> 0:33:04.480
<v Speaker 1>it very difficult or impossible for the American people to

0:33:04.520 --> 0:33:08.200
<v Speaker 1>participate in it. UM this week was something interesting. Um

0:33:08.280 --> 0:33:14.800
<v Speaker 1>the uh I'll call him maybe infamous, the infamous leader

0:33:14.920 --> 0:33:17.600
<v Speaker 1>of Tesla. I'm talking about Elon Musk. I'm not sure

0:33:17.640 --> 0:33:20.880
<v Speaker 1>if he's famous or infamous or whatever. You make up

0:33:20.880 --> 0:33:24.440
<v Speaker 1>your own mind on that, but um, he's he's pretty outspoken,

0:33:24.520 --> 0:33:26.720
<v Speaker 1>to say the least. I think his Twitter account as

0:33:26.760 --> 0:33:30.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, forty million followers, so he's he's pretty

0:33:30.440 --> 0:33:32.520
<v Speaker 1>well known in that space. And you know, he's been

0:33:32.520 --> 0:33:37.760
<v Speaker 1>pretty outspoken in the cryptocurrency space overall. And you know,

0:33:40.160 --> 0:33:42.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a super big fan. I think he's been

0:33:43.160 --> 0:33:48.240
<v Speaker 1>saying some things without all the education, and he should

0:33:48.320 --> 0:33:50.960
<v Speaker 1>probably know that he moves markets and might try to

0:33:50.960 --> 0:33:54.440
<v Speaker 1>be a little more responsible. That being said, he was

0:33:54.560 --> 0:33:59.320
<v Speaker 1>interviewed this week UM with Kara Swisher for the invite

0:33:59.360 --> 0:34:04.760
<v Speaker 1>only Code conference in Beverly Hills, California, and during that conversation,

0:34:04.840 --> 0:34:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musk argued that global governments should steer clear of

0:34:10.200 --> 0:34:14.080
<v Speaker 1>trying to regulate bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. He said, quote it

0:34:14.200 --> 0:34:18.320
<v Speaker 1>is not possible to I think, destroy crypto, but it

0:34:18.400 --> 0:34:23.600
<v Speaker 1>is possible for governments to slow down its advancement end quote.

0:34:24.160 --> 0:34:26.759
<v Speaker 1>And so what he's saying there is uh And and

0:34:26.760 --> 0:34:28.839
<v Speaker 1>then he went on to say they asked him whether

0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:31.360
<v Speaker 1>the US government should be involved in bitcoin and crypto regulation.

0:34:31.440 --> 0:34:36.360
<v Speaker 1>Must responded, quote, I would say do nothing. End quote.

0:34:36.560 --> 0:34:39.640
<v Speaker 1>And the reason why is we need innovation. If the

0:34:39.719 --> 0:34:42.400
<v Speaker 1>right brothers who invented the airplane, by the way, if

0:34:42.440 --> 0:34:45.640
<v Speaker 1>the right brothers had to go ask permission if they

0:34:45.680 --> 0:34:49.040
<v Speaker 1>could try to invent an airplane, it never would have happened.

0:34:49.400 --> 0:34:52.719
<v Speaker 1>Innovation needs to move in a way that it can

0:34:52.760 --> 0:34:55.840
<v Speaker 1>grow without that. The Internet, for example, would have never

0:34:55.880 --> 0:34:59.920
<v Speaker 1>survived if it hadn't been for the government actually passing

0:35:00.120 --> 0:35:03.560
<v Speaker 1>laws to prevent liability to allow it to grow. And

0:35:03.640 --> 0:35:06.759
<v Speaker 1>so this innovation will only stifle the growth. Now in

0:35:06.880 --> 0:35:09.080
<v Speaker 1>China's case, that's what they want as a matter of fact.

0:35:09.120 --> 0:35:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Christine Lagarde from the e c B the UM European

0:35:12.719 --> 0:35:17.319
<v Speaker 1>Central Bank, she said, quoting her quote, UM innovation threatens

0:35:17.400 --> 0:35:21.560
<v Speaker 1>our financial stability, Well, doesn't it? Doesn't threatens financial stability,

0:35:21.560 --> 0:35:25.439
<v Speaker 1>it threatens their financial monopoly. Um but pearly on Musk,

0:35:25.480 --> 0:35:29.680
<v Speaker 1>I would agree, let innovation happen. We need innovation. It's

0:35:29.719 --> 0:35:33.640
<v Speaker 1>that important. And so I definitely would agree with um

0:35:33.840 --> 0:35:37.920
<v Speaker 1>elon Musk on that one. China is going the other way.

0:35:37.960 --> 0:35:42.240
<v Speaker 1>I think the US will be on the open side.

0:35:42.239 --> 0:35:44.160
<v Speaker 1>I hope. So it still is America the land of

0:35:44.200 --> 0:35:46.560
<v Speaker 1>the Free, and I hope that is the case that

0:35:46.680 --> 0:35:49.640
<v Speaker 1>they take. But remember, like I said, at first they

0:35:49.760 --> 0:35:51.920
<v Speaker 1>laugh at you, then or they ignore you. Then they

0:35:51.960 --> 0:35:54.440
<v Speaker 1>laugh at you, then they fight you, and then eventually

0:35:54.640 --> 0:35:58.040
<v Speaker 1>they join you. We've seen countries like El Savador now

0:35:58.120 --> 0:36:01.560
<v Speaker 1>announce it as legal tender. All right, So you're listening

0:36:01.560 --> 0:36:03.200

0:36:03.239 --> 0:36:07.160
<v Speaker 1>cryptocurrencies and the biggest opportunity you'll ever have in your lifetime.
