China vs. Bitcoin

before our very eyes. You know, I try to bring to you, you know, some things, some some education so you can see things and understand things differently. And I like to bring to you some of the latest breaking news and headlines so you can stay up to date as this all plays out, so you can stay one step ahead, or as we call it, the investing world front running this information if you get it first. And man, there's no shortage of stuff happening in the world is

changing rapidly right before our eyes. And one thing that really really really changed the entire world's kind of a landscape specifically, Um, well, it's both it's political, it's financial, and it's technology. Um. In China, um, they have been you know, they they manufacture a lot of a lot of the technology and China has been manufacturing the bitcoin mining computers, and so they've also they've also been running

a lot of those bitcoin mining computers. They had cheap energy there in China, and last year they had over fifty percent, maybe as much as sixty percent of the bitcoin mining network in China. And China has been trying to ban bitcoin for a long time. As a matter of fact, I think they've banned it at least seven times. I don't have them all up in front of me right now. I think at least seven times. And they've banned it for people, they banned for exchanges, they banned

it for for mining, et cetera. And so they banned it. It was like the final band. It's like, okay, we've banned everything now at this point, and all the miners had to pack up and move. The United States is one of the biggest beneficiaries of that. Most of us come back to the United States. It's also moved over into Europe as well. I think I don't have the data in front of me. I think the US now controls over thirty percent of the network, which is good.

It's not as centralized as it was before with China having but What I thought was interesting this week is that a new report came out that had some pretty shocking data for me. And again, China has banned bitcoin at least seven times um. Last year they got rid of all the bitcoin mining. And one of the big questions I always get asked about bitcoin is, yeah, but

what if the government's make it illegal or um. Maybe it's not even asked as a question, it's just said as a defeated victim mentality, which is like, what's the point the government is just going to make it illegal? Well, um, I think everybody would agree that China is the I mean, it's a communist country, right, It's in the name CCP right, Commonist Chinese Party, so it's a communist party. They control everything.

They control the internet. They have the Great Firewall of China, right, so people in China aren't allowed to go onto Facebook or Google or YouTube or any of that. They get around it with VPNs and whatnot, but they're not allowed to access to any of that. So they're the most restrictive, the most control of the command of onomy. With a great firewall, They've banned bitcoin over and over and over and over. They got rid of all the bitcoin mining,

and it's gone. Finally the seventh or eighth time, finally it's done. It's done. It's done right, not so quick. A new chain Analysis reports, so chain Analysis is a company. They used like ai AI software technology to um go

across all the blockchain. So blockchains are typically open and somewhat transparent, so they can use this software to go and look at all this and they can tie it all back to transactions to kind of get some idea of what this data is telling them in A new Chain Analysis report shows last year's ban has not prevented the Chinese from using bitcoin, as the country's returned to the global adoption ranks in the top ten. Wow. So the most restrictive company country in the world, the Chinese

Communist Party with the Great Firewall. They've banned it seven eight times, they kicked all the bitcoin miners out, but yet here they are back up on the countries with the highest level of bitcoin and cryptocurrency adoption in the world. It says Vietnam leads the world in overall adoption, while India has the highest number of centralized purchases. Blockchain analytics firm Chain Analysis has released its two global cryptocurrency Adoption Index.

So if you want to go check out this data on your own, Remember I always like to bring you the data, right, I can give you opinions all day. I want to give you the receipts. So if you want to look up in these data to search Global Cryptocurrency Adoption Index. But I'm gonna give you the key points here. Basically, they detailed the global usage of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in this formula, and they they rank them

based off this formula. I'm not gonna dig deep into that, but basically, uh, one of the biggest alarming, the biggest shocking facts, the staggering information is that again China, after all the attempts they have done, they haven't been able to ban As a matter of fact, last year's ban um happened. But now it's back there, back in the top ten countries in the world for adoption. The US has risen to five where it was previously ranked eight. So we think about um, it being a US centric thing,

and again what if the government makes it illegal. And of course the Biden administration put together an executive order to come out with this task force to come up with all these things about ways they can regulate cryptocurrencies, and so the US wants to do it as well, and what if they make it illegal. Well, the U s is was eighth in the world. There's a lot of countries out there. Per the U in there's like over a hundred and sixty countries. No, obviously not as

big as the United States. But the point is the potentially the government could make it illegal for US citizens to own it, but they can't stop it. If China can't stop it, there's no hope that any other nation can stop it for that matter. But even again, even if the US did, uh, it's still alive and well and the rest of the world. Like I said that, the US was ranked eighth and now it's moved up to fifth. Now, a couple of things I saw on

this report UM that I think are important. So one, it shows that overall adoption has has slowed worldwide in the bear markets. So what do I mean? So UM cryptocurrencies had their peak in November one. Since then they've drawn down a lot. Bitcoin is down I don't know six at least from that point. Other cryptocurrencies are down seventy eight or more. And so since November UM we're technically in a bear market technically, right, so we've fallen

that far. But what it shows is that UM global adoption of cryptocurrency reached its current all time high in quarter two. Quarter two would be April May, June, April May and June. UM, that's when it reached its the adoption reach its all time high. Ins then adoption has moved in waves. It fell in quarter three when crypto prices declined, and then it rebounded in quarter four when

we saw prices rebound to new all time highs. So in quarter three UM it fell, quarter four bound bounce back up, and so the prices went to new all time highs and we saw adoption reach on all time hiyes, of course, right, But it's important to note that global

adoption remains well above it's pre Bowl market levels. So what it's saying is that we saw adoption reach a new all time high UM when the price at an all time high, and when the price dropped, the adoption level dropped a little bit as well, but it's maintained well above it's pre Bowl market levels. And I mean, for that matter, Bitcoin as has as well. Right, So UM in the March of bitcoin was at what thirty eight hundred dollars three thousand, eight hundred and today so

it's twenty thousand. So bitcoin is also maintained its level above that as well. Many of these those attracted by rising prices twenty one stuck around and continue to invest a significant chuck chunk of their assets in digital assets. Another thing is that emerging markets dominate the index UM and so Vietnam, Philippines, Ukraine, India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Morocco, Nepal, Kenya, and Indonesia. And the reason why those adopted is because

their currencies are blowing up. They're literally witnessing double digit inflation, eighty percent inflation, meaning their currencies are free falling so fast that they're losing purchasing power so fast. I mean, if you knew you were gonna lose eighty percent of your purchasing power in your local currency, why not go

to cryptocurrency. It's gonna make it dropped too, but at least you had a bit better chance maybe, And so it makes sense when when countries have horrible currencies, people are going to find adoptions for them, will see in the emerging markets first. But it's also happening in the United States as well, you're listening to the markmas Show. We're talking about the Decentralized Revolution, talking about some of the latest breaking news, UM that's happened over the week

that highlight how the world is changing. Of course, we talked about it through the lens of politics, finance, and technology, and even though the prices down of bitcoin, we know that the adoption levels are up. That's a great report. Hopefully enjoyed that. I got a lot more to cover some breaking news this week that you definitely want to know about, especially going into the midterm elections that are coming up, So you don't want to miss what's coming

up next. Don't go away. I want to be right back. All right, welcome back. You are listening to the markma Show. We're talking about the decentralized Revolution, talking about the way

the world is changing right before our very eyes. Of course, we look at it through politics, finance, and technology, and I really like to focus on the intersection of those three things and so they all work together obviously, right It's like, um, the Federal Reserve, the central banks, you know, they're being pressured by the political institutions, by the governments, and so whether it's the European Union pressuring the ECB, the European Central Bank, or it's the you know, the

US government pressuring the Federal Reserve or whatever he filmed the blank. So it's very politically motivated. And of course, whatever the central banks decided to do, the markets are going to go up and down. So the political markets are going to drive the financial markets, and then with the technology that drives on top of that, so it's all connected here. And uh uh we have in the

United States. Um, regardless of where you're in the world, this matters to you because the US dollars the reserve currency of the world. So whatever the whatever the US government pressures the Federal Reserve to do, and then whatever they do with the money affects you. No matter where you're in the world. Even if your nation works off a different type of currency, you're probably witnessing massive levels of inflation because of what's happening with the U S dollars.

So all eyes are on the US markets, as they should be. And I've been talking about I mean, there's a lot of uncertainty in the air with what's happening with the markets. Um, you know, we we had a pretty big drop in you know, SMP five D, the NaSTA, etcetera. And now we've bounced about a fift retracement, which is textbook before the next crash comes down. And we don't know. But one thing that we do know is all eyes are on this mid term election that's coming up here

in November in the United States. It might be and I know we say this a lot, and maybe because it's always true, but this might be one of the biggest elections that that will see. And the reason why is because if the if the Democrat Party, which which has control right now, if they can manage to get more control or maintain the control they have, then for the next two years, we're gonna be able to just

slam through anything they want. The way the government set up is that we have um checks and balances, so one side doesn't just ramrod everything through um. If we can get the other party, the Republican Party, to get more control back, then we're going to have those checks and balances. Now, usually when it ms to voting, most people are concerned only about themselves, which is a problem. Right.

The world used to be, uh the world. The United States was founded by people who cared about other people more than themselves. They came to this country, risking their lives for the betterment of future generations. And and not even that long ago, I mean even even I guess even still today we might we have immigrants coming to this country who are sacrificing everything and hoping for a better life for them and for their for the future generations.

But really today, um, we see all our politicians like Nancy Pelosi. Um, you know, she's gotten famously rich. She beats every you know, every single hedge fund and and and the best investors in the world. She beats them because she has insider information. And so we see all these people that just out for themselves, like Joe Biden, you know, the big guy, big guy getting his kickbacks. Right, Everyone's looking out for themselves, and so that kind of

sets the tone for the rest of the country. And so we see the rest of the country of voting for things that helped them as opposed to thinking about, um, hey this this is good for me. Yeah, it gives me a bunch more money, but what does that due to the country. What does that due to my kids? If if they print a bunch of money to offset this for me or they're gonna pay off my student loans. I love that. That's great for me. But is that going to cause more dissension in the United States or

some people are going to be unhappy about that? Will be unfair? What happens if we print trillions and more dollars? Is that bad for the budget? Like instead of thinking about the implications for everybody, to think about it in terms of themselves. But one of the things that we think about, and one thing I think a lot a lot about, is that the aging demographics inside of politics.

And so we can see specifically in the Democratic Party, the average age is like seventy years old something like that. I don't have the exact data in front of me, but but about that range, Whereas I think the average agent the Republican Party is uh forty six or something

like that. Um. But the point is is that we have all these politicians that are getting very old, and they're making lots of laws that are going to be around forever, and they're gonna have massive implications for few generations, specifically around a time right now when we have a technological revolution happening. We have a brand new technology the world has never seen that's going to change the course

of humanity. And we have very old people in power that are making rules and they don't understand the technology, nor do they understand the implications of it, nor do they even care about the greater good. They only care

about themselves, and that's a big problem. So a lot of people that see this power of this new technology, like myself, we I care about getting people into power who do see the benefits of it, who do understand this could be a big benefit for the United States to have this technology, who do want to leave it open for innovation so our future generations can benefit from it. I care about that, and a lot of people either

do too. And so coin base has created an app to track US politicians crypto friendliness ahead of the midterm elections. So if I'm going to vote for someone, I should do my research and I should find out does this person represent my trysts, does this person um? Does this person want to push forward policies that I think are the best or or not? And unfortunately, most people don't

even think about that. They don't even ask themselves a question, and they certainly don't spend any time to investigate the answer. So a coin base is gonna help. They're gonna make it easy, They're gonna they're gonna let us users track how crypto friendly their local politicians are through its new trading app. So they launched a policy education initiative that includes a voter registration tool, so they can help you get voted, they can help you get caught up to

date on what these politicians are. And they say the initiative will now be incorporated into the company's crypto trading app, and US users will be able to see quote a crypto sentiment score for members of Congress, and so now you can see at least how they stack up on technology and cryptocurrencies. You can at least see that now as far as all any of the other issues, like how they are on passing stimulus or states rights or um uh, you know, upholding the Constitution or whatever it

is that's important to you. Those things are pretty important to me, but you should still go find those on your own. But at least you're able to get this, uh for the sentiment stores of scores of how they are on cryptocurrency now. Coin Base says that they've been actively lobbying the US Congress for some time and they have been They've been kind of throwing their weight around

trying to help push a new policies. One of which we covered recently was the Tornado cash protocol, and they have been pushing that in court and they've been making some headway. So um coin bas is not a company that's very well liked in the bitcoin space per se, because they pushed so many they trick so many people into buying all these other cryptocurrencies UM. But UM as much hate as I can throw their way, I also have to applaud them for at least pushing the envelope

a little bit. They formed a political Action Committee and it says that the leaders we elect this November will be the ones making critical decisions about the future of cryptocurrency, and so um they want to help people see that. So um plenty of hate I can throw a coin bases way, but I have to applaud them for at least helping people get this information. Look, if if you don't know who you're voting for what you're voting on,

just don't vote. Yeah, it's everybody's right, Sure, it's your right, But if you don't know what you're voting on, if you haven't spent the time to educate yourself. Then don't do it. Just don't. You don't. You don't have to. It's your right, but you're not obligated to. And if you don't have the information, then it's probably better that you just sit out. And I know that sounds a little bit harsh, and I'm not telling you to sit out. If you're not going to sit out, then educate yourself.

Spend the time to learn both sides of the argument. Don't just read one side of argument, look at both. And if you care about the new technology of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, and it makes sense to vote for someone who's pro who's friendly to that as opposed to trying to shut it down. Um, like so many others are. So check that out. Um, you're listening to the Mark Moa Show talking about the decentralized Revolution, talking about the hottest news of the week. I got a whole lot

more to cover when I get back. You don't want to miss this, so don't go away. I'm gonna be right back, all right, Welcome back. You are listening to the Mark ma Show. We're talking about the decentralized Revolution, talking about the way the world is swinging from centralization to decentralization, and we look at it through the lens of politics, finance, and technology, and we've been hitting all

those we've talked about each one of these subjects. Is they come through as they converge right at that at that mix. If you've missed any of it, don't worry. You can check it out on the podcast. Just search Mark Moss podcast on your favorite player, or check me out on YouTube. Just search Market Disruptors on on YouTube and you can find my videos there. You can find find the podcast, but you can watch me on video. And you know, one of the things we talked about

is the way the world is breaking apart. Right we have this centralized control, the centralized entities that you in the World Economic Forum, the I M f right, the dollar, homogeny, all these things, but that's all breaking apart. Russia, China and the bricks nations are challenging that, trying to move us from a singular polar world for a multipolar world. And it's all happening right before our very eyes. And if and if you don't pay attention to the actual signpost,

maybe you're missing it. But it's important to understand because the world is breaking apart. But as it's breaking apart um, you know, a cornered animal, especially a wounded cornered animal, it's very dangerous. They know they're wounded, they know they're probably gonna die their corner. They've got nothing to lose, and they're very dangerous. And that's where, uh, the central entities,

these these nations states are. They realize that they've lost the narrative, they realize that their time is short and they're gonna do everything they can to squeeze and hang onto that power. And that's exactly what's happening, and we're seeing it big over in Europe right now. I made a video on my YouTube channel recently talking about the European Union on the verge of breaking up. You can

just search Mark Moss on YouTube and find that. Maybe search Mark Moss uh European Union breaking up, something like that, you'll probably find it. But we're witnessing again the centralization of the European continent under the European Union, and now that's threatening to be broken up and back to independent states,

back to the thesis that I have. And one of the biggest catalysts for this is this energy crisis that's happening right now, and of course they're trying to fix this energy crisis, but they're also intentionally causing the energy crisis. It's pretty interesting. How can you cause the problem and continue to cause the problem, continue to double down on causing the problem, but at the same time try to

fix it. The answers you can't. If you're if you're trying to figure out an answer, the answer is yet, you can't. You can't ride two horses with the same butt. That's basically what happened. So we saw the European Union they want to launch a quote deep and comprehensive reform end quote of the electricity market. So to catch you up real quick, in the Europe Europe, Europe is going

through a massive energy crisis. They've decided it not to get any of their own energy out of the ground, right They've shut down all their all their natural gas fields and and etcetera. They've shut down some some of the on purpose, like Germany shut down all their nuclear reactors. France, who's been very energy independent because they have I think fifty six nuclear reactors, half of them aren't running because they just haven't fixed them. They're just they just need maintenance, etcetera.

And so is the problem that they've caused on themselves. And now without the natural gas, they can't create the electricity, they can't get they can't create the fertilizers, they can't grow the food, all the on and on and on. I'm not gonna go through all that, but basically what I wanna talk about her here is that they want to do. They want to the European Union wants to launch a deep and comprehensive reform of the energy market. M That sounds pretty scary, and I want to dig

in because it is. This is the European Commission President Ursula vander lyin if I have that right, Ursula vonder lean um So vanderland said, the market was designed on the principle of merit, and now it's not fit for the purpose. What does that mean? It was designed on the principle of merit. That means, you know, merit, like if you do good, you get rewarded, if you do bad, you get disciplined. That's what merit is, right, So that's natural,

that's emergent. If I work harder and I'm smarter and I employ better ideas than I probably do better than you. That's my merit. And if you're lazy and you you're not efficient with your resources, um, then you go down. That's what merit is. But they're saying she's saying that the market was designed on the principle of merit, meaning the companies that do really well and think ahead and plan and reinvest. The companies that do really well have

done better. If she said, no, it doesn't work anymore. It's not fit for our purpose anymore. The EU Energy ministers met Friday to discuss a five point plan. It's always five. Five is very dangerous five point plan, which includes a price cap Russian gas. That's funny because they're not supposed to be buying Russian gas anyway because of the sanctions. So they're gonna cap it. Okay. They're going to create a windfall tax on fossil fuel companies profits

mhm okay. Um, They're gonna create a mandatory target for reducing peak hour energy use by five and create emergency credit lines for power companies. So they're going to limit how much profit companies can make. Well, can go wrong. I thought businesses were in business to make a profit, and if you take away their profit, then why would they start the business? Pretty good question to ask um. And they're going to create a mandatory target for reducing

peak energy our usage. So, hey, I know when you come home from work, you like to turn your lights on, and you know you want to watch TV, and you know you might want to turn your air conditioning on because it's been hot all day or something like that. I get it, but sorry, you can't. You gotta reduce your energy usage. No, no, never mind the fact that we've had plenty of energy forever and we've been making elect for our hundred years and it's never been a problem.

But it is now. Uh never. We don't know why. Uh well, it's our fault. But we're not gonna admit that. We're just gonna say you can use less. And we're gonna create emergency credit lines for power companies. So we're gonna give them a bunch of money. We're gonna print it out of thin air, we're gonna steal your purchasing power.

We're gonna give it to them. Sounds great. Addressing the windfall tax and revenue cap plans, Vonderland said that while profits were not necessarily a bad thing, so it's not profit you know, companies making a profit isn't necessarily bad, but it is wrong to receive extraordinary record revenues and profits benefiting from war on the back of our consumers. In these times, profits must be shared, shared with who oh, to those who need it most, not everybody. It's not equal.

I thought they wanted equality. That's what always talking about equality, equity, all these things. Um, so equality would be everybody getting helped. But no, we're going to share it with those who need it most. So not everybody, but just the people that we decide to get it. Now, the thing with profits again, businesses are in business to make a profit. If if a business is making way too much money, what had happened is other businesses will enter that thing.

So for example, I found this niche where hey, I can sell I can get these coconuts off these trees here, I can go down to the beach and I can sell them for fifty bucks each. I'm gouging people, right, Well, what's gonna happen. Another person is going to move and sell coconuts right next to me. He's gonna do it

for cheaper. He's gonna do it for thirty bucks. And another person's gonna come to do it for twenty another per's gonna come from over ten, and all of a sudden, my profit margin is gonna get squeezed because it was so much profit that other people jumped in a right. So that's what happens with profits. Now, anohing that happens with profits is that oil companies lose money most of the time because they're trying to find oil, the market's

going up and down. They're defaulted on their debt. So at the last six of the ten years, they've lost money, but then they hope to make it up in a couple of good years. So six or seven of the ten years are bad, they lose money, but in two or three of the good years they make up enough money to offset all the bad years and still come out ahead. But now what they want to do is they say, well, well, well this year you made a lot of profit, so we need to take that from you.

But they're like, but yeah, that just makes up for the bad years. And now how are we going to reinvest, How are we gonna go find new oil supplies? How are we gonna pay our shareholders? If we don't pay a shareholders, then who's going to reinvest again. I think you get the point now. Um. She gave a speech and she basically said, look, everyone's got to do what they can. We have to take control of the economy. What they're saying is we want to control the economy,

we want to nationalize this. I'm gonna tell you about this speech that she has. I'm gonna tell you exactly what she said, and then we're gonna talk about the scam that this is and where this leads, because history tells us over and over where this leads and hint, it's not good. So I'm gonna come back with that and more in a minute. You're listening to the Mark

Moa show. We're talking about the Decentralized Revolution, talking about the way the world is swinging from centralization to decentralization, and this story highlights it. We're witnessing it happening right now. They're trying to hang on because the European Unions trying to break apart and they're squeezing it, but they're only making it worse. I'm gonna tell exactly what they're trying to do, what this really means, and what history tells about this. I'm gonna be back with all that more.

You certainly don't want to miss this. You're listening to the Mark Mo Show. I'll be back in a minute. Don't go away, We're back, all right, Welcome back. You are listening to the Markma Show. We're talking about the decentralized revolution. Of course, we're talking about the way the world is changing, and we look at through the lens

of politics, finance, and technology. The technology being bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and the decentralized technology we're talking about before the break, talking about in Europe and the European Union, which is centralization. We take all these independent count reads that are decentralized and we centralize them under the banner of the European Union,

and how it's trying to break apart. The whole world is breaking apart into this decentralized world, which is a good thing in my opinion, but the pendulum swings back and forth every few hundred years. Now what happens is as it's breaking apart, they're trying to hang onto it. And so I was talking about um the European Chief Ursula vander Land and what she was saying, and basically what she's saying, what they're trying to do is they are trying to take over more central control over the

energy markets. That's what they're doing. So um, right now you have all these energy providers who are somewhat quasi kind of working for the government, but there's still somewhat independent. And so you have these all these different people in the chain that that creates stuff and produce it and transported and all these things, and they just want to take it all over. Let's just centralize it all. Just give us the control. It's always the answer, right, more government.

If you just give us the control, we could probably do better. And so um Ursula vonder Land gave a quote unquote muscular State of the Union address this week and she said, quote never before has this Parliament debated the State of our Union with a war raging on European soil. So she went right into this war. So it was a very uh war centric, war heavy speech. And I guess it kind of is. I mean, it's a it's a war. I don't know what they're fighting.

They're fighting their own stupid ideas, I guess. But she said there's a clear warning quote the months ahead of us will not be easy, be it for families who are struggling to make ends meet, or businesses who are facing tough choices about their future. End quote. She said, gas prices have risen by by more than ten times. Gas prices risen by ten times. Who could afford that?

I mean, you think it's bad here in the United States or California, that's risen ten times there said, She said, making ends meat has becoming a source of anxiety for millions of businesses and households. Yet the pain has only just started. She says, wow, that doesn't sound good. She doesn't paint a very rosy picture, does she. But then she talks about France as France capped energy price hikes at she proposed electricity rationing without details of how so.

She praised France for price fixing taking control over businesses, and then she proposed also, right, we talked about that reducing electricity rationing it without the details of how to do that. Um. Basically, it sounded like a Cold War equivalent uh speech, talking about how they need to take over the economy. So in times of war, what we've seen is the government kind of takes over the war they invoke and President Biden trying to the United states

as well, invoking a wartime economy. A wartime economy means the government can control the economy to act as they see fit. Up, we need more of these particular goods, So now I'm going to command these industries to make these goods for me. And it's just the way that they can get more control. So she's she's trying to promise, she's trying to promote a semi war slash planned economy

in regards to energy. Right, the energy crisis will rage for years, she said, with untold pain at unknown cost, and Europe will simultaneously have to rearm even at its industrial production will slow. So, um, forget you know, creating goods and services that people need. That that's that's real wealth, right. Forget the manufacturing of parts that we can export to

bring money back in. Forget all of that. Um, we're gonna just slow industrial production down so we can focus more on on our own agenda, which is, you know, controlling the energy. That's what she's saying. But it's a big scam. It's a big scam. It's a big scam because they're trying to promote climate they're trying to promote this green economy. They're trying to promote this. Net zero is what they call it, and net zero is somewhat

of a scam. There's this article that came out here this week on the Daily Mail and it's, uh, it's it's some pictures. I can't show you the pictures, but it says it's devastating pictures of the rape of America's century old hardwood forests, stripped bear to provide wood pellets for European energy plants in a deluded bid to meet climate goals. So what's happening. So Europe doesn't have enough energy to heat their homes this year, in Germany, in the UK, even in France they have a big problem,

so they are turning on their coal plants. Now, energy has a density, So the lowest form would be like bile fuels or young You have to you know, burn a whole building worth to get enough energy. Um, and it's very pollutant. The next one up would be wood. Um would need you need a ton of wood um and it's also very pollutant. Lots of smoke goes in the air. UM. The next would be um coal. So coal has more energy, so I need to burn way

less cold than I would firewood. Um, and it's still you know, polluting into the air, but it's I need. I need way less of it than I do would. And then you have oil, so I need way less oil than I would. Um coal because energy density and it's way less pollutant. And then you have a natural gas, and then you have uranium. But um because because Germany can't get the gas, they turned off their nuclear reactors, which is the most energy dense for him. You can

get like a cupful of of uranium and power whole city. Um. But they shut they shut theirs off, and now they've decided not to get gas out of the ground. And now they can't get it from putin anymore because of the sanctions. So now they've turned coal back on. So there's like three order is our manitude worse? And now they're trying to stock up on firewood. Okay, so firewood is even worse. But now nations around other countries in UH in the European Union, like Bulgaria have banned exporting

firewoods like no, we gotta keep it for ourselves. So now they're getting from the United States. So now they're chopping down the rape of America century old hardwood forests and they're stripping them bare to turn the wood into wood pellets to send to Europe so they can burn them in their fireplace to stay warm. So if they really cared about the environment and the climate and the carbon, they would want to keep the trees because the trees

sequester carbon. The trees, they take the carbon out of the air and put it into the soil. But instead they're chopping the trees down, so now we have no trees to pull more carbon out of the air, and then they're gonna ship them to Europe where they can burn them, which is the second most pollutant type of energy you can have. How's that sound. More than two dozen pellet mills are devouring trees across the North American Coastal Plain. Historic forests stretching from Texas to Virginia are

under a threat wood pellets. Firm chiefs say that they use wood waste. Uh, it creates jobs in the US. That's good, right, it creates jobs, that's good, ah Man. And but environmentalists warn that hundreds of thousands of acres of forests are being torn down each year in the US Southeast to make wood pellets to fuel European power plants. Hundreds of thousands of acres of forests are being torn down in the United States so we can ship it.

Uh yeah, So imagine all the machinery, all the tractors that burn diesel fuel, so you're burning all the diesel

fuel in the tractors. Tear the trees down, then you need the tractors to load it onto you know, trains, and then the trains burn more diesel fuel to get it to the ports, and then the ships burned more diesel fuel to get it over to the Europe and then Europe burns it all in the fireblads, which put all that up into the air instead of just turning their nuclear actors back on, instead of just getting the

natural gas out of the ground. Do you really think they care about the climate, because if they do, they're sure making some pretty pretty bad choices. In my opinion, the so called North American Coastal Plain has already lost seventy percent of its historic vegetation, thanks in part to an eleven billion global industry that is set to grow to twenty billion by Let's tear down those trees and let's burn them. That's good for the environment anyway, clown

world at its greatest. You're listening to the Markma Show talking about the way the world is changing from centralization decentralization, and these are the stories that highlighted. This is insanity at its worst. It's not gonna last for much longer. I think the European Union is going to break up. I made a video about it. You can check out on my YouTube channel and I'll keep bringing you the latest stories. You can stay up to date on it. Let me know what you think. Me up on social

media at one Mark Moss. I'd love to hear from you, and that's what I got. Thanks for listening, Until next time.
