Episode notes

The chapter explores how artificially low interest rates have influenced mega corporations like Apple and Amazon, leading to investments in new technology and the growth of monopolies in artificial intelligence, causing wealth transfer and inequality. It advocates for a transition to a new system, like Bitcoin, to redistribute gains to society and align with the future of humanity, discussing the challenges of deflation caused by technological advancements and the potential benefits of a future economy based on value rather than inflation.

Clay Finck chats with Jeff Booth about inflation and deflation, why inflation isn’t necessarily ‘good’ for a healthy and thriving economy, why so many people are missing the fact that deflation and technological innovation is too powerful of a force to stop, why Jeff believes that Bitcoin is positioned to perform well over the long-term, and much much more!

Jeff Booth is a technology entrepreneur and founder of BuildDirect which is now a company with a market capitalization of over $500 million.
