The Mark Moss Show - The End of Globalization?

about technology. But if you don't understand how they all work together, then you don't understand the context of what is going on in the world today, and more importantly, the massive changes that the world is going through because of those three things colliding. Now. I talk a lot

about the three revolutionary psychles. I'm talking about the political revolution cycle on a two hundred and fifty year time frame, the fifty year technological revolution cycle, and the eighty year financial revolution cycle, and all three are converging right now at the exact same time, which is of course why

we're seeing fireworks blowing up. And one of the things that I've been talking about in my three cycles thesis is that the world is going through a revolution, going from centralization to decentralization, going from globalization or globalism back into more of nationalism. I've been talking about this for quite a while. You could just search if you have. If you want to check into it, look at Mark Moss three Cycles, three revolutionary cycles. Um, you'll find lots

of videos and podcast appearances. I've been on talking about this, teaching about on my YouTube channel. I have about two hours of content breaking this down, and that's what we're talking about. And if you understand it from that lens, then it starts to bring everything that's going on in

the world into more context. Larry Fink, who is one of the he's the founder of black Rock, see of black Rock, the largest asset manager in the world, sort of a proxy for the Federal Reserve, if I might say that, actually said just a few days ago that he thinks that this Russia Ukraine war will be an end to globalization, globalism. That's a big that's a big thing for someone of his stature to say, and of course it's exactly what I've been saying for the last

year and a half or so. Now we'll dig into this, but each week we're talking about the convergence of these three cycles, technology, politics, and finance. You have to understand him in context. Now, obviously, this war in Russia Ukraine is a catalyst. The pandemic was a catalyst, This war is a catalyst. But these are not black swan events. Black Swan events are things we didn't know they were coming.

Who could have ever known that was gonna happen? It was a black swan, And a lot of people think the pandemic was a black swan, Like who would have known that some virus would just come up and just shut the whole world down? Right? Who would know that? Well, it wasn't so much the virus. It was the response to the virus that was the problem. It was the response to the virus to shut the whole world down.

It was the response to the virus that locked people in their homes and shut businesses down, all those things. It wasn't the virus, it was the response. And again history would have shown us because we're at peak centralization, peak globalization, um, peak government's controlling every aspect of your

lives with a light switch. Um. So that's kind of where we're app and so history would have told us this, And history would also tell us that a war with the rescue Ukraine would be causing this problem right now at this time. It's interesting how that works. Isn't it. So we'll dig more into that. But, like I said, the end of globalism as we know what I've been calling for, what we call the blow off top, the

blow off top of globalization or centralization. And what a blow off top is in a financial market if you're looking at UM for example, go back. If we're looking at the markets in the two thousands of the dot com boom and so um through the through the nineties, mid nineties, especially from and accelerated into the year two thousand and by, the markets were going parabolic, like almost straight up as they were sucking more and more people

in coming in to get rich. I heard everybody making all this money in these crazy things called internet stocks, and I want to get rich and internet stocks and sucks all these people in, and as and and as more people come in, the prices go up, even hiring his price scope even hire. More people get sucked in, and it's this kind of cycle. And at the very top it's kind of starting to run out of people. It sucked everybody and that's going to come in. And

the top it's very volatile, very frothy. It goes up and down, up and down, up and down, very volatile and then boom crashes. It's a blow off top and it crashes down. And part of the reason why it crashes down because all those people that got sucked in at the very top, we're what we'd call the weekends, meaning, um, they didn't buy with real conviction, thinking that Amazon was going to be the leader in this new world called e commerce. Of course we didn't have e commerce back then. Um,

they didn't. They didn't come in with that conviction. They came in going, Hey, my buddy said, I can get rich, and I'm just gonna buy it. And so what happens when the market sells off all those people the weekends They sell first, and they sell fast, which is why the market dumps really fast, and it causes more and more selling. And so I've been calling for the blow off top of centralization. Where the world the pendulum, I like to say, the pendulum has been swinging towards centralization

more and more and more. Hey, government, um, would you just take care of health care for us? Could you just take care of retirement for us? With retirement by the first thing, right, take care of retirement for us? And how about take care of health care for us? And Hey, how about take care of education for us?

And how about just take care of everything for us? Right, And so we just assigned more and more and more to the nanny state, and it continues to grow, grow, grow, grow, grow, grow bigger, bigger, bigger, more and more centralized, until it sucked almost everybody in at the top. It becomes very volatile, like right now, which is why pre pandemic December two thousand nineteen, there was ten countries with over one million people each in the streets protesting. Now this is pre pandemic.

They were already ten countries with millions of people in the in the streets protesting. It's not about the pandemic, it's about the centralization. And this is only continuing. It's very frothy at the top. It's very volatile. We're seeing it right now. And Russia and Ukraine is sort of almost this catalyst that's really kind of bringing an end to this. And as I said, Larry Fink from Black Crock said, this could be the end of globalism. So it's a big deal. It's going to change the world

as we know it. But how do we navigate this on a regular basis? Now it's causing all different types of problems, um, that you're aware of by now. As a matter of fact, apparently gas prices is the fault of Putin and the Russia Ukraine War, apparently, UM. And I know everybody's been feeling that pain at the pump now. I have talked to a few people. We're like, Mark, it doesn't matter to me. I don't have a car.

What do I care? Well, you have no idea how the system works to you, because oil energy gas is the lifeblood of the entire economy. Even if you don't have a car and you don't drive, well, how does your food get to the grocery store? Right? How did your food get to the grocery store? Gas, or we call it oil energy, is the lifeblood of the system. And so everybody's feeling the pain. If you're not feeling at the pump because you don't have a car, you're

feeling it somewhere else for sure. And it's gotten so bad that we are seeing now in California, where I'm recording from right now, our great leader, Gavin Newsom has decided to send out a check to everybody, which sounds pretty good. Why not why not send a check out? I like that. I didn't get any checks through the a couple of rounds of stimulus, didn't. I guess if you make more than seventy five dollars, you're rich and you've got no money now in California doesn't mean too much,

especially in southern California. But uh, nevertheless, Um, this one appears that everybody with a car, it's gonna get one. And I like that. Uh so maybe maybe I'll get a check. We'll see. But what's interesting is, um, again, centralization, central planning. The government has to do something right now. The government has to do something to fix the problem. But maybe it was the government that actually caused the problem.

And I'm gonna get into that in a minute. I got a couple, I got a lot to go over. I'm gonna I'm gonna play you some actual clips we can hear directly from the President's mouth, directly from the White House's mouth. I had some clips queued up. We're gonna talk about, uh, and I'm gonna break all this down. We're gonna look at what they're blaming on the problem. We're gonna look at what the real problem is here. Um, and I have some what I like to call, I

have the receipts. I'm gonna give you some actual facts. So we're gonna look at the narrative and I'm gonna give you actual facts. I'm gonna give you dates, I'm gonna give you amounts, and we're gonna look at this because there's been some big claims throwing out there by our leaders. We'll call them that. I'm trying to get away from using the word elite. They're not elite. I wouldn't hire any of those guys to run my business.

They're not elite, but they're they're the leaders. We're gonna look at some of that and we'll look at the facts and figures to see what is going on with there. So we got a lot to cover. You're listening to the Mark Moa Show. We're talking about bitcoin. We're talking about the intersection of politics, finance, and technology. I got a lot to go over today, talking about the end of globalization UM and really looking at some of the

statements that have made in the facts. So don't go away, I'll be right back, all right, Welcome back here, listening to the Mark Moa Show. Talking about the intersection of politics, finance, and technology. We're talking about the decentralized revolution. Of course, we're talking about bitcoin and the changes that is going on in the world today, trying to understand it, trying

to bring it all into context. Now. Before the break, I was talking about how my work doing looking mapping out three cycles, three revolutionary cycles, politics, finance, and technology, and how they're all converging today, tells us that what's happening right now in the world, with the pandemic and the lockdowns and the over each of the government, the wars in Russia and Ukraine, all of that, all of that was actually predicted. We knew that was all gonna happen. Now,

we didn't know exactly. You know, Putin was going to go into the Ukraine, we didn't know that. But we know that centralization, globalization is going to end, and the pendulum will swing back towards decentralization. That's what history tells us, That's what the cycles tell us, and sure enough we're witness in it. As I said before the brake, Larry fink Uh, CEO of black Rock, the largest asset manager in the world, public has said that a couple days ago on the news said that this could be the

end of globalism as we know it now. Um, So that's happening. We're taking a look at that, we're kind of dissecting that and trying to understand what that means for us. Now. I was talking about how gas prices are getting so crazy, and like I said, it is insane. Here in southern California, in LA we have gas over seven fifty a gallon. I drive a truck and that sucks because man, it's like almost two hundred bucks a

tank to fill it up. It's insane. I try not to get gas in Los Angeles, try to get it down out of Los Angeles where it's much cheaper, but still seven bucks. Nationally, it's over four dollars a gallon, which is crazy. Um. Now, Apparently the American people have been led to believe that the reason why gas prices are going and so higher, going so high is because Putin. It's all Putin's fault because of the invasion of Ukraine. And it's just that simple, right, cut and dry. It's

got to be Putin's fault. Everything's this fault. He's a bad actor, so it must be his as a matter of fact. Um Jen Saki, you know, the Queen of circling back. Um, she told us that it is that simple. A matter of fact, I got a video clip. Let's or audio clo. Let's play that real quick, and let's hear what she has to say. You may have noticed this week that your gas prices have gone up. I want to talk to you a little bit about why. A lot of it has to do with Vladimir Putin.

Mm hmm, that's it simple, must be true, she said it. We can believe everything they say, right. I mean, you know, she doesn't study the economy. She's not an economist, certainly not an oil and gas expert. But you know, she's probably pretty good at reading off the teleprompter. And that's what I told her. Um. But you know, apparently it's a Vladimir Putin's fault. Um. At least that's what they

say now. Um. It probably has nothing to do with the trillions and trillions of dollars the US government has pumped in. It probably has nothing to do with the very first day Biden took office, the very first day that the most important thing that he could ever think of in the history of the world that they had to do on the first day was to shut down oil and gas pipelines and to shut down oil and

gas permits. That was the most important thing. I couldn't have anything do with that, right, I mean, you know, why would uh, why would businesses uh that are being shut down put out less product? That doesn't make any sense. Um. But you know, we have a little bit of disagreement happening between the White House. I'm sure you've been seeing that lately. President Biden came out and said, we've got

to get Putin out. He can't stay. And then the White House says, oh no, he wasn't talking about regime change. No no, no, no, no no. Then Putin said, and then then Biden told us that, well, Russia could use chemicals chemical weapons, and if they do, the U. S Will respond in like kind. That's what he said. The Secretary of Defense came outside. Hang on, wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute. He didn't mean that the US would never do something like that. So you

know they're a little bit in disagreement. Jen Szaky said, it's all Putin's fault. But I have another clip of Biden. Are President good old sleepy Joe? He came out and gave us something else. Let's go ahead and play this clip of Biden to hear what he's telling us. The price of these sanctions, it's not just imposed upon Russia, it's imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well,

including European countries in our country as well. Wow. So the cost of these things, the cost of putting sanctions, doesn't just hurt doesn't just hurt Russia, it actually hurts us as well. So, Uh, you know, if you're an American, thank your president because his actions are now making it harder for you to live. Yeah, I'm not exactly sure why any of us really care that much about what's going on now. Certainly do you care enough to donate a big chunky ear pay to that? Now? Look, I'm

i am not pro Russia. I'm not pro war. Uh, and that's probably the biggest thing. I'm not pro war. Um, I'm not for any more. I don't want people hurt, I don't want people dyeing. I want people killed. And certainly there are something happening and that I'm not happy about. It makes me sad. But let's just not pretend that this is a war of freedom and democracy, because Ukraine

is not anything close to him on democracy. As a matter of fact, they're ranked I think ninetie out of countries that are the most corrupt, so that means they're one of the most corrupt countries in the world. So Zelinski is certainly not uh an angel, we'll call him that. He's certainly a dictator, and probably worst dictator than Putin is. So let's just be honest with ourselves. We're just backing

one dictator over another. And in order to you know, go against Russia, Americans have to pay more, meaning more, pay more at the pump, or so they say, it's all his faults, But is it? Is it really? And that's the question that we have to ask ourselves. And that's the that's the part where I start having a problem because the data doesn't back that stuff up. We

want to dig into that. Let's let's let's look at some of the data that we have on this, because apparently if this is Putin's fault, if this is the war on Russia and Ukraine's fault, then that means prices just went up since we since that started, or did prices already start going up before that? When did inflation really kick off? When did the price of gas and oil really take off? Did happen on that date? Well, lucky for you listening, I have the data in front

of me. We can look at the exactly look the amounts. I'm gonna break that down for you. By the way, you're listening to the Mark Moss Show, we're talking about the intersection of politics, finance, and technology. We're talking about this decentralized revolution that the world is going into. We're talking about bitcoin. Now you're like, Mark, what do you mean you're talking about bitcoin? You're talking about the war with rush of Ukraine and gas prices and putin. What

was that to do with anything? Well, it has to do with the end of globalization, the end of centralization, moving into a decentralized revolution. And bitcoin is the technological revolution. They come about every fifty years, the technological revolution that is bringing us into the decentralized revolution. So we're I'm narrating, I'm narrating the game for you. I'm narrating the Titanic sinking and people getting onto lifeboats to go into a

new system. So, um, if you want to know where the price of bitcoin is, I mean, there's plenty of people that can tell you that. Um, I could certainly just read you charts, but I think it's much more important to understand what's going on in the world today and more importantly, how you can navigate it so you can survive and thrive. I'm not a doom and gloomer. Look, I'm not a doom and gloomer. Now, I'm a realist. And unfortunately, being a realist and understand what's going on,

I think there's more pain ahead. I think things get worse, But I'm an optimist because I think I see short term pain ahead, but I see once we get on the other side of this, I see massive hope, massive prosperity on the other side. Unfortunately, sometimes you gotta burn. You have a little bit of a forest fire to get that new growth. Um, creative destruction, if you will to. In order to get something new, you have to get rid of the old way, and sometimes it's painful, but

it's good. Um. In order to get growth, you have to have stress. You have to tear your muscles down for them to get bigger and stronger. And so while there may be some short term pain, we can get through it for the next couple of years, and then there's massive hope and prosperity for my kids and my grandkids and so forth and so on. So I'm happy about that. And if we navigate this correctly, we'll be okay. Now, Like I said, you listen to the Markma Show talking

about the intersection of politics, finance, and technology. I'm talking specifically about Russia Ukraine war and why gas process are going so high, what that means, and uh, why we're being lied to. And I'm gonna give you the actual facts, the actual data. I'll be back with prices, amounts, and dates, so much more. You don't want to miss this. I'm bringing the receipts, the AMMO that you need to understand what's going on in this war of information. So don't

go away. I'm gonna be right back with more. All right, welcome back here, listening to the Markma Show talking about the decentralized Revolution. We're talking about the intersection of politics, finance, and technology. We're talking about how the world is changing from centralization to decentralization and how bitcoin is the technological revolution that is leading that charge. So we were talking about before the break, we were talking about how Russia,

the Russia Ukraine War is breaking the country apart. Now I've been get into this each and every week. There's a lot to go into. Um and so if you don't feel like I'm covering it all, just go back and check out some of my past issues. Uh, you can find them. Just search Mark Moss I Heart Mark Moss Podcast and you'll find that. And um, it's like my radio show on demand. Now, don't miss my radio show.

So if you haven't already, and if you're not driving, pull your phone out, put a calendar reminder for this day, this time, this channel, and join me each and every week because there's a lot going on in the world today and you need someone that can help you bring it all into understanding and context, which is what I'm trying to do here. It's not what I'm trying to do, it's what I am doing. And so you don't want to miss this, So make sure you join me each

and every weekend. If you do happen to miss it, I get it, life gets in the way, then you can catch me radio on demand on the podcast network. Again, just search Mark Moss I Heart Mark Moss Podcast. You'll find that and you'll find some of the steps that we've been breaking down about what's going on with this UM the war. But I'm not trying to dissect the war, just dissect the war. I'm dissecting what's going on so we can see how the world, how the transition is happening.

A lot of people will ask me all the time, mark when when is this going to happen? When is the dollar going to lose as the reserve status, or when will bitcoin be used more in adoption, or when will you know whatever. My answer is, it's happening. It's happening right now, We're watching it. We're watching it happen. You just have to be paying attention. It's not like it's not like a light switch moment that just happens UM, where like you go to bed one day and then

you wake up the next day and everything's changed. It's not like that. UM. For a lot of you that don't know, if you're if you're too young, you haven't paid attention. The dollar has not been the reserve standard of the world. Forever. Before the dollar was the reserve stand of the world, there was the pound British sterling. When the dollar took over from the pound pound britishterling, it was about a forty year process didn't happen overnight,

so this doesn't happen overnight either. As I said, we have this blow off top. It gets very volatile, the top up and down, up and down, up and down, and then it finally blows off. And that's what we're witnessing. So we're narrating this. We're looking at each of these in you see, so we can kind of start to figure out how to play this. Now. I was talking about the you know how how the Biden administration. Biden himself personally said that because of the sanctions on Russia,

things are gonna get more expensive. Um. His Press secretary Jan Secky said that the prices going up are Putin's fault. Um. I guess since since he acted that we had to act with sanctions, and because we had to act with sanctions, then we have to pay more. Um. And I'm not going to get into if that's right or wrong. I'm sure plenty of you are happy to give up a good chunk of your paycheck to support the war in Ukraine. Again, you support one dictator over another, and just don't think

you're trying to save freedom and democracy there. Um. But that's Okay, I'm first saving all humans lives, even if they're communists or dictators. I don't I don't want to see anybody hurd or killed. But but what I want to break down is the fact from the fiction. And so they say it's all Putent's fault, it's all because the war in Russia and Ukraine. But let's take a look at that. So here's the here's the facts in

the data. So um, let's take a look. Let's start oil. Okay, So oil is needed to make gasoline, so when the price of oil goes up, then the price of gasoline goes up. So let's take a look at the price of oil um before Biden won the election, after he

took office, and when the war in Ukraine happened. So Biden won the election in November, all right, Now it's important why we why we look at the date he won the election and when he took office, is because markets are discounting mechanisms, meaning they always trying to bet where the future is going to be, trying to get in early before the price goes up. And so what we can see is that oil prices had had maintained a pretty good pace except for then the pandemic March,

the whole world shutdown. Of course, the demand for oil shutdowns to the price of oil went down as well. It slowly rebounded, and when Biden took office in in uh or I'm sorry it was elected in November, oil started going up really really fast, took off almost parabolic. And know why why would it do that? Well, because if Trump was elected, he was going to be very pro U S energy independence, more oil and energy in

the US. But if Biden was elected, it was gonna be pushing this to this green agenda and shutting oil and gas down. Notice I'm not trying to pick a winner here, but you have to understand the nuance and the differences here. So because Biden got elected in November twenty, then the market's good. Well, okay, we know it's gonna happen. He's gonna shut down all the oil and gas is

gonna move to renewables. So oil and gas prices automatically start going up from there, all right, So we can see that um, from the time he was elected November, oil was at thirty five dollars a barrel, and then we go all the way to February two before the Rush of Ukraine conflict and oil was at dollars a barrel. So from thirty five to nine eight, that was under Biden, before the Putin invasion, it was at ninety dollars barrel.

Where's oil today, I think it's that about roughly a hundred and five, So it's about the same as it was before war, the Rush of Ukraine war now one oh five. You know, it's a little bit difference if you're if you're a trader, maybe that means a bunch to a couple of points. But for the average person, you know that that doesn't really make any any difference. So oil rallid from ninety eight before Russia Ukraine, that was because of Biden. All right, Now let's dig in deeper.

What about gas? Remember oil prices going up means gas prices go up. So gas prices they're they're at the highest point they've been in a really long time UM. As a matter of fact, as they are higher than they've been since really like two nine there's been since about two fourteen, they've been kind of stuck in this channel pretty good low price UM and they have broken higher. And we can see that as soon as Biden got

elected again elected, not not in office. Prices started going up, and as a matter of fact, gas prices hit a new all time high. Well I should say, not a new all timeline, but um a new short from high um before the war in Ukraine happened. So look, oil is back to where we were pre Russia invasion. Gas is back there now. Some of it is because we're releasing um oil reserves and stuff where there's a lot there. Um. But the fact is is, don't let them blame that

on on a putin now, um in that. In the audio clip I've paid played before the break as well, I played a clip of Biden saying that because the sanctions on on Russia, then people in the US have to be willing to pay a lot more money. So what he's saying is that prices are going up. That's inflation, right, So we can see that inflation goes up. The government measures it with a metric called CPI consumer Price Index. I call it cp LIE because they manipulate that never

so much. Well, let's take a look at that. So the c p I, this is the government's number of inflation. And there's whole bunch of reason why that's wrong. But I'm not gonna go into that right now. But the CPI UM number was one point two per cent when Biden won the election November, and it had been at that rate for a long time for eight years at least, had kind of stuck in that range and went up and down, up and down, But the Fed wasn't able

to consistently get inflation to even two percent. It waffled back and forth, but couldn't get it consistently above two. When he won the election November twenty, it was one, and then inflation rallied all the way to seven point ninebers, and from one point to to seven point nambers, at

the highest level it's been in over forty years. And one thing, the one thing that's super important understand is that in the eighties and the nineties, they changed the way they calculate CPI, and so when it was if they if we went back to the way to calculated in the eighties, last time, we are seven point nine, it would actually be about fifteen and six. So it was at one point two when he took office, but and it was, and it was seven point nine before

the Ukraine War. Again, trying to blame this on Putin and uh in Russia. Is is a mistake. They're they're lying, They're lying to you. They're trying to use this war to cover up the facts of their mistake. Now, I don't want to blame all of this on Biden. Let's give him a break, because most of this was started even before he took office. Is actually started with Trump. And the reason why is because inflation isn't prices going up.

Prices going up is the result of inflation. Inflation is the money supply increasing, and the money supply started increasing under President Trump. Well, the money supply has always been increasing, but it dramatically took a big increase because of the war on COVID, and that is what caused the price of everything to shoot higher. When you have more money chasing goods and services. I got a lot more to

break down on this. UM. I want to talk about the self inflicted wounds on the energy markets in the United States, some of the things that Biden did, specific things that he did to cause the price to go up. Um. Not just on the money and so much more. Of course, you listen to the Markmas show talking about the decentralized Revolution, how the world is moving from a centralized world into a decentralized world. How bitcoin is at the base of

that technological breakthrough. It's technology that changes the way the world works. Uh, and what comes next? Now you listen to the Markmas Show. I got a lot more to talk about this specifically, so you can understand this in better context and even better how you can prepare and protect yourself. Um, I got more when I come back, Do not go away. I'll be right back. All right, welcome back. You're listening to the Markmas Show. And we're

talking about the decentralized revolution. We're talking about politics, finance, and technology. All throughout history, it's technology that changes the world, and so we're talking about the technological revolution that's leading to the decentralized revolution. Of course, Bitcoin is that technological revolution that is changing the world as we know it. And we're witnessing we're watching all these things happen in front of us. Of course, I've been talking about the

war between Russia and Ukraine. Obviously the US is involved. It's costing the US people a lot of money in the form of higher, higher prices on everything. And I was explaining how a lot of that's being blamed on Putin in the war in Russia. But the reality is oil and gas and inflation. We're going way higher before before that happened. I gave you the dates, the facts, the charge, the numbers, everything. I gave you the receipts. I'm not here trying to give you my opinion. I'm

trying to give you the facts. If you've missed that, I'm sorry, go back and listen to the on demand search Mark Moss podcast, Mark Moss Radio show and you can find out more about that. I know these are tricky things to to get through. Um, but the more that you like anything in life, the more time and attention to put to it, the more you pay attention, uh, the more you can understand them. So it's a good thing to, you know, listen to radio shows or podcasts

like this, you know, watch YouTube videos. My channel Mark Moss obviously will check that out. Watch other people get different opinions. Don't just listen to me, right, Try to get different people's opinions. Try to make your own opinion based off of what you're hearing. Um, there's never been a more important time in history than right now. I like to say that the ostrich can Bury its head in the sand, but it won't keep it from being eaten.

One of my favorite authors, Iron Rand says that you can choose to ignore reality, but you cannot ignore the consequences of reality. So you can not pay attention, you don't You could turn off the TV, you could turn off the news. You don't need to understand any of this, and you could just go live your happy life. The reality is it probably won't end up being that happy because reality will come and smack you in the face. And that's exactly what's happening in the world right now.

We have all these these politicians, all these leaders that have made these policies that are not grounded in any real world information, and they're very quickly being smacked across the face by reality realizing, oh shoot, I guess the world still needs energy. Who would have thought, right, um, And so we're finding those things out and so, like I said, you can choose to ignore it, but you

can't ignore the consequences of that. And if you want to learn how to build, grow and protect your wealth, because like I said, it's in my opinion, things get worse for the last couple of years, and then there's massive hope and prosperity on this side. So how do you make it through to that other side? And that's that's why you need to be paying attention to You've gotta be tuning in each and every week, UM, and listen to other people like me, right, UM, also meet

other people. UM. I recently last year, I moved out to Puerto Rico, the first time I've moved from southern California, and I met new friends and I realized, dang, people should actually move. I didn't really think about that people should move because you need to meet new people. And UM. You know, they say that you are the five people you hang out with, and as you grow in your life, you need to change the people you hang out with.

Otherwise you just stay stuck in the same position. A lot of your friends they hold you back, not because they're mean. They don't want you to change, because they want you to stay with them. But we need if we want to keep keep growing, if to keep changing, and so you need to meet new people. One of the best ways to meet people is to get out. I'm going to be at the Bitcoin conference next week. UM,

I'll be meeting lots of people. Of course, if you want to come meet me, come to the Bitcoin conference. I'll be there. You can meet a lot of other like minded people like you. I also hold my own conference called Market Disruptors Live dot Com that's going to be in May, again meeting people. I bring people together. Get out to these conferences, meet people, make new friends. You are the people that you hang out with. If you want to come check me out Market Disruptors Live

dot Com. We're gonna be in Dallas. It's gonna be amazing. But whatever you do, make sure you continue to grow because, like I said, you can choose to ignore it, it's not gonna be good for you. But back into what we're talking about with this war and and uh, the US and so forth, and a lot of this, like I said, they're blaming the gas prices, and they're brain blaming the oil prices on the war, and it's put

in folit etcetera. But um, a lot of it is a lot of it has to do with the money, right, So I talked about the increase of the money supply, which again is credits to Biden. It's not always fault. It started with Trump and as a matter of fact, every president spends more than the last So Biden spent more than anybody, and Trump spent more than anybody. And you know, uh, Obama spent more than everybody, and Bush spent more than everybody, spent more than everybody. Just we

keep spending more and more and more. So it's not all Biden's fault. That's just part of the machine. But what is Biden's fault is the very first day he took office, Day one, the most important thing he did, he did executive orders. What executive orders mean, Screw everybody else, screw the democracy, screw the branches of government. I'm a king, I'm a dictator. I'm going to pass an executive order because I said so, I don't care what anybody says.

That's what he did. So very first day he put executive orders into one shut down, UM, the Keystone Pipeline. Now imagine that. Um, you can if you want to move energy, you know, oil and gas, you can put it into trucks and you can transport and those trucks can drive back and forth, back and forth, back and forth delivering, or you can put it into a pipeline and the pipeline could just deliver it cheap and good

for the environment. Imagine all those diesel trucks moving energy back and forth, back and forth, back and forth all day, or just put in a pipeline. So pipelines would also be better for the climate, and it would also be better for prices. But no, he didn't like that, he shut that down. On top of that, again, same day he decided to shut down all new oil and gas drilling on the U. S Land. So what happens? What happens when you attack an industry, when you suspend their leases,

you say you can't go get anymore? Well, what you think would happen? You get less of it. So we can see that um, through all this heavy regulation, we can see that the US is producing ten percent less oil less. Now, it doesn't take a genius. You can be an elementary student elementary math to understand supply and demand. If you cut the supply of oil but you have the same or more demand, what do you think happens

to prices? Don't take a genius. And then you have Biden again unilaterally, So I was I'm fair with him? It wasn't you know all presidents have spent more. Trump spent more, Biden spent more. UM, but Biden as a dictator, as a king, past executive orders to do these things, and then he hands selected a nomination for the position of Comptrol of currency the o CC. Her name was

sal Amarova. She didn't make it, but it was his choice, his first choice, and she said, quoting her uh, we want oil and gas come place to go bankrupt, That's what she said. So if you're an oil and gas company and um, the government's actively saying that we want you to go bankrupt, actively trying to shut you down, do you think you would spend more money to research and develop new products? Would you spend more money for exploration? Of course not right, not if the talent You're gonna

shut you down. So then if you're not spending money on exploration or research and development, and guess what, there's no new supply. And remember back to supply and demand. If there's no new supply and there's demand, because it turns out people still need to drive. It's kind of crazy. And for all you people that think electric vehicles, batteries and wind can solve everything, have you thought about that?

Because it still takes oil to make the windmills, and it takes oil to ship the windmills to the United States, and it takes oil to clear the land, and it takes oil to stand up the windmills, and then the windmills only last for twenty years and have to be torn down, and that takes oil to do that, and then takes oil to bury them in landfills that sit

forever because they can't decompose. And batteries need all types of all types of minerals that go in there, like lithium, for example, And to get lithium out of the ground they have to mind hundreds of thousands of pounds. And how do they do that with giant tractors that use what, oh yeah, oil? Electric vehicles? They take the motor from inside the car and then move the motor to outside

the car. But something interesting for all of you that maybe don't understand how this works is that we cannot create energy. We can't create it. Energy is not created, energy is harnessed, it's unlocked, it's transferred, but it's neither created nor destroyed. So all we can do is find energy from one place and we can harness it and we can move it another place. That's what we do. We can't create it from thin air. Perpetual energy, perpetual motion.

They've they've tried to figure it out. It's at the beginning and they haven't been able to figure that out. But it's really these policies that are the problem. We have to pay attention to that. And so I just want you to be informed of what's going on. Uh, Like I said earlier, like in California, they want to give us money to help offset that, but it was the money that they print in the first place that

caused the high prices. So now they're gonna print even more money to help us with the high prices that was caused by printing the money pretty backwards. Anyway, it's a it's a it's a rant. Today you listen to the Mark Moa show talking about the intersection of politics, finance, and technology, talking about the world going from centralization to decentralization, the end of globalization as we know it being pushed and ushered in by bitcoin, the decentralized revolution as I

call it. It's a big move. It's a big deal. The world's changing now. Um. I think it's exciting. I think it's exciting. It gives me a lot to talk to talk about. Anyway, and Hopefully you enjoy hearing it. I'd love to hear from you. Hit me up on a message on Twitter at one Mark Moss. You can find me on social media LinkedIn, Instagram, etcetera at one Mark Moss. Check out my website at one Mark Moss as well. Well, no on my website one Marks, but thanks for listening.
