ADVICE

Choose Which Monetary System To Serve

Question prevailing money narratives and choose which monetary system receives your time and energy.
Ask whether you want to contribute to a debt-inflation system or a deflationary Bitcoin protocol.

INSIGHT

Free Market's Natural State Is Deflation

Jeff Booth argues the natural state of a free market is deflation driven by technological progress.
He contrasts that with debt-based inflation, saying our historical money system prevents real free-market deflation.

INSIGHT

Asset Frame vs Protocol Frame

Jeff contrasts two frames: Bitcoin as an asset vs Bitcoin as an open protocol with layered functionality.
He predicts the protocol framing leads to decentralized growth while the asset framing centralizes and risks failure.

In this episode, I sit down with Jeff Booth, entrepreneur, author of The Price of Tomorrow, and one of the clearest thinkers on how technology, money, and human agency collide. We explore why Bitcoin is not just an asset but a protocol, how broken money distorts society, and why deflation is the natural state of free markets.

We also dig into AI, privacy, self-custody, family, time, and what a Bitcoin standard could mean for human consciousness itself.

If you’re trying to understand Bitcoin beyond price, grapple with the implications of AI, or make sense of the confusing moment we’re living through, this conversation is for you.
