WEBVTT - The Mark Moss Show - The End of Globalization? 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.200 Hey, everyone, Welcome to another episode of The Mark mo Show, 0:00:03.960 --> 0:00:06.520 coming to you each and every week, breaking down what's 0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:09.079 going on in the world, trying to explain what is 0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:13.880 happening in the decentralized revolution, talking about the intersection of politics, finance, 0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:18.040 and technology. Now a lot of people talking about politics, 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:20.480 a lot of people talking about finance, some people talking 0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:23.360 about technology. But if you don't understand how they all 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:26.599 work together, then you don't understand the context of what 0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:28.640 is going on in the world today, and more importantly, 0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:32.160 the massive changes that the world is going through because 0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:35.040 of those three things colliding. Now. I talk a lot 0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:38.720 about the three revolutionary psychles. I'm talking about the political 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:41.160 revolution cycle on a two hundred and fifty year time frame, 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:46.360 the fifty year technological revolution cycle, and the eighty year 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:49.640 financial revolution cycle, and all three are converging right now 0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:51.639 at the exact same time, which is of course why 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:54.920 we're seeing fireworks blowing up. And one of the things 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:57.120 that I've been talking about in my three cycles thesis 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:05.120 is that the world is going through a revolution, going 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:11.800 from centralization to decentralization, going from globalization or globalism back 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:15.080 into more of nationalism. I've been talking about this for 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:17.039 quite a while. You could just search if you have. 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:18.600 If you want to check into it, look at Mark 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:23.240 Moss three Cycles, three revolutionary cycles. Um, you'll find lots 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:25.240 of videos and podcast appearances. I've been on talking about this, 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.040 teaching about on my YouTube channel. I have about two 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:29.479 hours of content breaking this down, and that's what we're 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.240 talking about. And if you understand it from that lens, 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:34.320 then it starts to bring everything that's going on in 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:37.800 the world into more context. Larry Fink, who is one 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:39.959 of the he's the founder of black Rock, see of 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:43.320 black Rock, the largest asset manager in the world, sort 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:45.399 of a proxy for the Federal Reserve, if I might 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:48.160 say that, actually said just a few days ago that 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:52.320 he thinks that this Russia Ukraine war will be an 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:56.240 end to globalization, globalism. That's a big that's a big 0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:59.800 thing for someone of his stature to say, and of 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:02.280 course it's exactly what I've been saying for the last 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:06.480 year and a half or so. Now we'll dig into this, 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:08.440 but each week we're talking about the convergence of these 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:13.480 three cycles, technology, politics, and finance. You have to understand 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.720 him in context. Now, obviously, this war in Russia Ukraine 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:20.239 is a catalyst. The pandemic was a catalyst, This war 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:23.960 is a catalyst. But these are not black swan events. 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.560 Black Swan events are things we didn't know they were coming. 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:29.760 Who could have ever known that was gonna happen? It 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:31.560 was a black swan, And a lot of people think 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.480 the pandemic was a black swan, Like who would have 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:35.160 known that some virus would just come up and just 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:39.120 shut the whole world down? Right? Who would know that? Well, 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.680 it wasn't so much the virus. It was the response 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:43.560 to the virus that was the problem. It was the 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:45.679 response to the virus to shut the whole world down. 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.160 It was the response to the virus that locked people 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.120 in their homes and shut businesses down, all those things. 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.400 It wasn't the virus, it was the response. And again 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:57.880 history would have shown us because we're at peak centralization, 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:02.919 peak globalization, um, peak government's controlling every aspect of your 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.680 lives with a light switch. Um. So that's kind of 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.160 where we're app and so history would have told us this, 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.239 And history would also tell us that a war with 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.520 the rescue Ukraine would be causing this problem right now 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:14.760 at this time. It's interesting how that works. Isn't it. 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:17.280 So we'll dig more into that. But, like I said, 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.040 the end of globalism as we know what I've been 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:23.520 calling for, what we call the blow off top, the 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.400 blow off top of globalization or centralization. And what a 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:29.040 blow off top is in a financial market if you're 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.880 looking at UM for example, go back. If we're looking 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.280 at the markets in the two thousands of the dot 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:36.800 com boom and so um through the through the nineties, 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.760 mid nineties, especially from and accelerated into the year two 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:43.920 thousand and by, the markets were going parabolic, like almost 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.280 straight up as they were sucking more and more people 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.440 in coming in to get rich. I heard everybody making 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.440 all this money in these crazy things called internet stocks, 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:51.800 and I want to get rich and internet stocks and 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.280 sucks all these people in, and as and and as 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:56.000 more people come in, the prices go up, even hiring 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:57.560 his price scope even hire. More people get sucked in, 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.760 and it's this kind of cycle. And at the very 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.600 top it's kind of starting to run out of people. 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.200 It sucked everybody and that's going to come in. And 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.600 the top it's very volatile, very frothy. It goes up 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:11.280 and down, up and down, up and down, very volatile 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:15.120 and then boom crashes. It's a blow off top and 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:16.640 it crashes down. And part of the reason why it 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:18.719 crashes down because all those people that got sucked in 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:22.840 at the very top, we're what we'd call the weekends, meaning, um, 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.320 they didn't buy with real conviction, thinking that Amazon was 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.279 going to be the leader in this new world called 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:30.440 e commerce. Of course we didn't have e commerce back then. Um, 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:32.800 they didn't. They didn't come in with that conviction. They 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:34.640 came in going, Hey, my buddy said, I can get rich, 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:36.599 and I'm just gonna buy it. And so what happens 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:40.560 when the market sells off all those people the weekends 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.039 They sell first, and they sell fast, which is why 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.200 the market dumps really fast, and it causes more and 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:47.279 more selling. And so I've been calling for the blow 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:52.120 off top of centralization. Where the world the pendulum, I 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:55.960 like to say, the pendulum has been swinging towards centralization 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.360 more and more and more. Hey, government, um, would you 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:01.840 just take care of health care for us? Could you 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.280 just take care of retirement for us? With retirement by 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.000 the first thing, right, take care of retirement for us? 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:07.839 And how about take care of health care for us? 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:09.920 And Hey, how about take care of education for us? 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:11.560 And how about just take care of everything for us? Right, 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.080 And so we just assigned more and more and more 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.440 to the nanny state, and it continues to grow, grow, grow, grow, grow, 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:20.000 grow bigger, bigger, bigger, more and more centralized, until it 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:23.160 sucked almost everybody in at the top. It becomes very volatile, 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:26.800 like right now, which is why pre pandemic December two 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:30.800 thousand nineteen, there was ten countries with over one million 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:34.599 people each in the streets protesting. Now this is pre pandemic. 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.600 They were already ten countries with millions of people in 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.400 the in the streets protesting. It's not about the pandemic, 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:44.160 it's about the centralization. And this is only continuing. It's 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.200 very frothy at the top. It's very volatile. We're seeing 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:49.680 it right now. And Russia and Ukraine is sort of 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:53.159 almost this catalyst that's really kind of bringing an end 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.400 to this. And as I said, Larry Fink from Black 0:05:56.400 --> 0:06:00.920 Crock said, this could be the end of globalism. So 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:02.640 it's a big deal. It's going to change the world 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:04.640 as we know it. But how do we navigate this 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.960 on a regular basis? Now it's causing all different types 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:11.200 of problems, um, that you're aware of by now. As 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:15.159 a matter of fact, apparently gas prices is the fault 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:19.320 of Putin and the Russia Ukraine War, apparently, UM. And 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:21.520 I know everybody's been feeling that pain at the pump now. 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:24.960 I have talked to a few people. We're like, Mark, 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:26.360 it doesn't matter to me. I don't have a car. 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.719 What do I care? Well, you have no idea how 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:35.200 the system works to you, because oil energy gas is 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.840 the lifeblood of the entire economy. Even if you don't 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.640 have a car and you don't drive, well, how does 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:44.880 your food get to the grocery store? Right? How did 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:48.919 your food get to the grocery store? Gas, or we 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:52.440 call it oil energy, is the lifeblood of the system. 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:54.840 And so everybody's feeling the pain. If you're not feeling 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:55.960 at the pump because you don't have a car, you're 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:58.800 feeling it somewhere else for sure. And it's gotten so 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:02.480 bad that we are seeing now in California, where I'm 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.720 recording from right now, our great leader, Gavin Newsom has 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:08.559 decided to send out a check to everybody, which sounds 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.960 pretty good. Why not why not send a check out? 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:14.560 I like that. I didn't get any checks through the 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:17.400 a couple of rounds of stimulus, didn't. I guess if 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:20.320 you make more than seventy five dollars, you're rich and 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:23.880 you've got no money now in California doesn't mean too much, 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:27.480 especially in southern California. But uh, nevertheless, Um, this one 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.680 appears that everybody with a car, it's gonna get one. 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.480 And I like that. Uh so maybe maybe I'll get 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:37.360 a check. We'll see. But what's interesting is, um, again, centralization, 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.760 central planning. The government has to do something right now. 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.800 The government has to do something to fix the problem. 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:47.280 But maybe it was the government that actually caused the problem. 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.000 And I'm gonna get into that in a minute. I 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:50.640 got a couple, I got a lot to go over. 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:52.920 I'm gonna I'm gonna play you some actual clips we 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.960 can hear directly from the President's mouth, directly from the 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.360 White House's mouth. I had some clips queued up. We're 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:00.760 gonna talk about, uh, and I'm gonna break all this down. 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:02.920 We're gonna look at what they're blaming on the problem. 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:08.200 We're gonna look at what the real problem is here. Um, 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.160 and I have some what I like to call, I 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:13.800 have the receipts. I'm gonna give you some actual facts. 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:16.280 So we're gonna look at the narrative and I'm gonna 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.040 give you actual facts. I'm gonna give you dates, I'm 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:20.600 gonna give you amounts, and we're gonna look at this 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:24.440 because there's been some big claims throwing out there by 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:29.160 our leaders. We'll call them that. I'm trying to get 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.200 away from using the word elite. They're not elite. I 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.000 wouldn't hire any of those guys to run my business. 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:34.960 They're not elite, but they're they're the leaders. We're gonna 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:36.319 look at some of that and we'll look at the 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.400 facts and figures to see what is going on with there. 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.679 So we got a lot to cover. You're listening to 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.040 the Mark Moa Show. We're talking about bitcoin. We're talking 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:46.320 about the intersection of politics, finance, and technology. I got 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.559 a lot to go over today, talking about the end 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.400 of globalization UM and really looking at some of the 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.160 statements that have made in the facts. So don't go away, 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:55.520 I'll be right back, all right, Welcome back here, listening 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.720 to the Mark Moa Show. Talking about the intersection of politics, finance, 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.800 and technology. We're talking about the decentralized revolution. Of course, 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:05.040 we're talking about bitcoin and the changes that is going 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:06.719 on in the world today, trying to understand it, trying 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:08.320 to bring it all into context. Now. Before the break, 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:12.640 I was talking about how my work doing looking mapping 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.959 out three cycles, three revolutionary cycles, politics, finance, and technology, 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:19.560 and how they're all converging today, tells us that what's 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:22.319 happening right now in the world, with the pandemic and 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.880 the lockdowns and the over each of the government, the 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:28.080 wars in Russia and Ukraine, all of that, all of 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.960 that was actually predicted. We knew that was all gonna happen. Now, 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:33.839 we didn't know exactly. You know, Putin was going to 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.480 go into the Ukraine, we didn't know that. But we 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:41.160 know that centralization, globalization is going to end, and the 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:44.800 pendulum will swing back towards decentralization. That's what history tells us, 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:46.319 That's what the cycles tell us, and sure enough we're 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.000 witness in it. As I said before the brake, Larry 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:51.520 fink Uh, CEO of black Rock, the largest asset manager 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.679 in the world, public has said that a couple days 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.760 ago on the news said that this could be the 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.440 end of globalism as we know it now. Um, So 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:00.960 that's happening. We're taking a look at that, we're kind 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.080 of dissecting that and trying to understand what that means 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.800 for us. Now. I was talking about how gas prices 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:08.000 are getting so crazy, and like I said, it is insane. 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:09.959 Here in southern California, in LA we have gas over 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:13.120 seven fifty a gallon. I drive a truck and that 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:16.120 sucks because man, it's like almost two hundred bucks a 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:19.160 tank to fill it up. It's insane. I try not 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:20.840 to get gas in Los Angeles, try to get it 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.480 down out of Los Angeles where it's much cheaper, but 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:27.319 still seven bucks. Nationally, it's over four dollars a gallon, 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:33.640 which is crazy. Um. Now, Apparently the American people have 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.760 been led to believe that the reason why gas prices 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:38.720 are going and so higher, going so high is because Putin. 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:41.320 It's all Putin's fault because of the invasion of Ukraine. 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:43.559 And it's just that simple, right, cut and dry. It's 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:45.360 got to be Putin's fault. Everything's this fault. He's a 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:46.760 bad actor, so it must be his as a matter 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:50.280 of fact. Um Jen Saki, you know, the Queen of 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:53.439 circling back. Um, she told us that it is that simple. 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:54.840 A matter of fact, I got a video clip. Let's 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:56.560 or audio clo. Let's play that real quick, and let's 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.640 hear what she has to say. You may have noticed 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:00.959 this week that your gas prices have gone up. I 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:02.880 want to talk to you a little bit about why. 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:04.960 A lot of it has to do with Vladimir Putin. 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:09.000 Mm hmm, that's it simple, must be true, she said it. 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.520 We can believe everything they say, right. I mean, you know, 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.600 she doesn't study the economy. She's not an economist, certainly 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:17.360 not an oil and gas expert. But you know, she's 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:19.240 probably pretty good at reading off the teleprompter. And that's 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:21.480 what I told her. Um. But you know, apparently it's 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.600 a Vladimir Putin's fault. Um. At least that's what they 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.959 say now. Um. It probably has nothing to do with 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:31.079 the trillions and trillions of dollars the US government has 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:35.360 pumped in. It probably has nothing to do with the 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:39.480 very first day Biden took office, the very first day 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:41.960 that the most important thing that he could ever think 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:43.319 of in the history of the world that they had 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:47.280 to do on the first day was to shut down 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:52.079 oil and gas pipelines and to shut down oil and 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.240 gas permits. That was the most important thing. I couldn't 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.160 have anything do with that, right, I mean, you know, 0:11:57.000 --> 0:12:01.120 why would uh, why would businesses uh that are being 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:05.400 shut down put out less product? That doesn't make any sense. Um. 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:09.040 But you know, we have a little bit of disagreement 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:10.960 happening between the White House. I'm sure you've been seeing 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:14.040 that lately. President Biden came out and said, we've got 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:17.120 to get Putin out. He can't stay. And then the 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:20.000 White House says, oh no, he wasn't talking about regime change. 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:22.400 No no, no, no, no no. Then Putin said, and 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:26.240 then then Biden told us that, well, Russia could use 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.959 chemicals chemical weapons, and if they do, the U. S 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:35.240 Will respond in like kind. That's what he said. The 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:37.840 Secretary of Defense came outside. Hang on, wait a minute, 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.600 Wait a minute, wait a minute. He didn't mean that 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:42.920 the US would never do something like that. So you 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.640 know they're a little bit in disagreement. Jen Szaky said, 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:47.920 it's all Putin's fault. But I have another clip of Biden. 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.720 Are President good old sleepy Joe? He came out and 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:52.640 gave us something else. Let's go ahead and play this 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.400 clip of Biden to hear what he's telling us. The 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:59.400 price of these sanctions, it's not just imposed upon Russia, 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.480 it's imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:08.800 including European countries in our country as well. Wow. So 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:12.040 the cost of these things, the cost of putting sanctions, 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:15.320 doesn't just hurt doesn't just hurt Russia, it actually hurts 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.559 us as well. So, Uh, you know, if you're an American, 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:21.680 thank your president because his actions are now making it 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:25.960 harder for you to live. Yeah, I'm not exactly sure 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:29.440 why any of us really care that much about what's 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:32.840 going on now. Certainly do you care enough to donate 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:36.000 a big chunky ear pay to that? Now? Look, I'm 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.199 i am not pro Russia. I'm not pro war. Uh, 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:41.679 and that's probably the biggest thing. I'm not pro war. Um, 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:43.800 I'm not for any more. I don't want people hurt, 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:45.480 I don't want people dyeing. I want people killed. And 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.520 certainly there are something happening and that I'm not happy about. 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.960 It makes me sad. But let's just not pretend that 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.800 this is a war of freedom and democracy, because Ukraine 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.680 is not anything close to him on democracy. As a 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.640 matter of fact, they're ranked I think ninetie out of 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:02.960 countries that are the most corrupt, so that means they're 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:04.839 one of the most corrupt countries in the world. So 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:09.680 Zelinski is certainly not uh an angel, we'll call him that. 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.640 He's certainly a dictator, and probably worst dictator than Putin is. 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.360 So let's just be honest with ourselves. We're just backing 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:19.320 one dictator over another. And in order to you know, 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.600 go against Russia, Americans have to pay more, meaning more, 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:26.840 pay more at the pump, or so they say, it's 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:31.040 all his faults, But is it? Is it really? And 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:34.200 that's the question that we have to ask ourselves. And 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.800 that's the that's the part where I start having a 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:41.840 problem because the data doesn't back that stuff up. We 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:43.720 want to dig into that. Let's let's let's look at 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:46.960 some of the data that we have on this, because 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:49.520 apparently if this is Putin's fault, if this is the 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.560 war on Russia and Ukraine's fault, then that means prices 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:56.840 just went up since we since that started, or did 0:14:56.880 --> 0:15:00.840 prices already start going up before that? When did inflation 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:04.680 really kick off? When did the price of gas and 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:07.800 oil really take off? Did happen on that date? Well, 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.600 lucky for you listening, I have the data in front 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:13.120 of me. We can look at the exactly look the amounts. 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:14.600 I'm gonna break that down for you. By the way, 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.680 you're listening to the Mark Moss Show, we're talking about 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:20.240 the intersection of politics, finance, and technology. We're talking about 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:23.560 this decentralized revolution that the world is going into. We're 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:25.920 talking about bitcoin. Now you're like, Mark, what do you 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:27.520 mean you're talking about bitcoin? You're talking about the war 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:29.440 with rush of Ukraine and gas prices and putin. What 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:32.480 was that to do with anything? Well, it has to 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:35.720 do with the end of globalization, the end of centralization, 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:42.440 moving into a decentralized revolution. And bitcoin is the technological revolution. 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:44.680 They come about every fifty years, the technological revolution that 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:49.320 is bringing us into the decentralized revolution. So we're I'm narrating, 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:53.160 I'm narrating the game for you. I'm narrating the Titanic 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:56.280 sinking and people getting onto lifeboats to go into a 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:59.920 new system. So, um, if you want to know where 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:01.600 the price of bitcoin is, I mean, there's plenty of 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:04.680 people that can tell you that. Um, I could certainly 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:07.400 just read you charts, but I think it's much more 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:09.160 important to understand what's going on in the world today 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:12.720 and more importantly, how you can navigate it so you 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:16.240 can survive and thrive. I'm not a doom and gloomer. Look, 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:18.560 I'm not a doom and gloomer. Now, I'm a realist. 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:23.640 And unfortunately, being a realist and understand what's going on, 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:27.000 I think there's more pain ahead. I think things get worse, 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:30.440 But I'm an optimist because I think I see short 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:33.120 term pain ahead, but I see once we get on 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:35.600 the other side of this, I see massive hope, massive 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:39.640 prosperity on the other side. Unfortunately, sometimes you gotta burn. 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:41.200 You have a little bit of a forest fire to 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:44.440 get that new growth. Um, creative destruction, if you will to. 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:46.640 In order to get something new, you have to get 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:49.200 rid of the old way, and sometimes it's painful, but 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:52.200 it's good. Um. In order to get growth, you have 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:54.240 to have stress. You have to tear your muscles down 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:56.640 for them to get bigger and stronger. And so while 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:58.280 there may be some short term pain, we can get 0:16:58.280 --> 0:16:59.800 through it for the next couple of years, and then 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:02.120 there's massive hope and prosperity for my kids and my 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:04.000 grandkids and so forth and so on. So I'm happy 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.520 about that. And if we navigate this correctly, we'll be okay. Now, 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:09.200 Like I said, you listen to the Markma Show talking 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:11.720 about the intersection of politics, finance, and technology. I'm talking 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:15.280 specifically about Russia Ukraine war and why gas process are 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:18.000 going so high, what that means, and uh, why we're 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:20.000 being lied to. And I'm gonna give you the actual facts, 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:23.919 the actual data. I'll be back with prices, amounts, and dates, 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:25.960 so much more. You don't want to miss this. I'm 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:28.600 bringing the receipts, the AMMO that you need to understand 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:32.280 what's going on in this war of information. So don't 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.520 go away. I'm gonna be right back with more. All right, 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:36.960 welcome back here, listening to the Markma Show talking about 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:41.120 the decentralized Revolution. We're talking about the intersection of politics, finance, 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:44.040 and technology. We're talking about how the world is changing 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:48.360 from centralization to decentralization and how bitcoin is the technological 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:53.920 revolution that is leading that charge. So we were talking 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.800 about before the break, we were talking about how Russia, 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.600 the Russia Ukraine War is breaking the country apart. Now 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:01.400 I've been get into this each and every week. There's 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:04.119 a lot to go into.

But I'm not trying to dissect the war, 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:58.959 just dissect the war. I'm dissecting what's going on so 0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:02.919 we can see how the world, how the transition is happening. 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:04.240 A lot of people will ask me all the time, 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:07.399 mark when when is this going to happen? When is 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:10.080 the dollar going to lose as the reserve status, or 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:13.080 when will bitcoin be used more in adoption, or when 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:17.880 will you know whatever. My answer is, it's happening. It's 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:20.960 happening right now, We're watching it. We're watching it happen. 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:23.840 You just have to be paying attention. It's not like 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:26.440 it's not like a light switch moment that just happens UM, 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:27.879
