The Bitcoin Standard analyzes the historical context to the rise of Bitcoin, the economic properties that have allowed it to grow quickly, and its likely economic, political, and social implications. The book takes the reader on an engaging journey through the history of technologies performing the functions of money, from primitive systems to modern government debt. It explains the operation of Bitcoin as a decentralized, distributed piece of software that converts electricity and processing power into indisputably accurate records, allowing users to perform traditional monetary functions without relying on authorities or physical infrastructure. The book also explores common questions surrounding Bitcoin and its potential as a store of value and a network for final settlement of large payments, challenging government monopolies and offering a vision of money extricated from politics and borders.
In 'The Price of Tomorrow,' Jeff Booth argues that technological progress is driving a natural deflationary force in the economy, which is being countered by government and central bank interventions through money printing and debt creation. Booth contends that our current economic systems, built on debt and inflation, are unsustainable and will lead to increased polarization and economic trouble if not adjusted. He advocates for embracing deflation and restructuring our economic frameworks to harness the abundance that technology can bring. The book covers a broad range of topics including the impact of technology on job markets, equality, and societal stability, and it concludes with a call to action for policymakers, business leaders, and entrepreneurs to adapt to these new economic realities.
So you’ve sold your business—what’s your next step?
Most entrepreneurs spend years building their businesses, but when they finally exit, they struggle to transition from managing staff and emails to all the investing opportunities they now have.
In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Dr. Tony Jacob—an entrepreneur who scaled and exited the largest private optometry roll-up in Texas history. After his exit, Tony faced the challenge of shifting from business owner to capital allocator, learning firsthand the risks of rushing into investments, the importance of patience, and how to structure a family office for long-term wealth preservation.
We’re diving into how to avoid the common pitfalls of post-exit investing, how to build a bulletproof asset allocation strategy, and the growing role of Bitcoin in family office portfolios.
If you’re an entrepreneur preparing for an exit—or you’ve already sold and want to make smarter financial decisions—this episode is a must-listen.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The biggest investing mistakes post-exit entrepreneurs make—and how to avoid them.
- Why capital preservation is just as important as wealth creation—and how to structure your portfolio to last generations.
