What if the key to a more prosperous future lies in embracing deflation rather than fearing it? Join us as we sit down with Jeff Booth, technology entrepreneur and acclaimed author of "The Price of Tomorrow," to unravel the deflationary nature of technology and the transformative power of decentralized systems like Bitcoin and Nostr. Jeff provides a compelling argument for viewing Bitcoin as a protocol that offers a secure, decentralized alternative to our traditional, inflationary monetary systems. You'll gain a deeper understanding of how Nostr, a communication layer built on the Bitcoin protocol, ensures freedom of speech by preventing any central authority from controlling or limiting your audience.

We dissect the real estate and stock markets through the lens of Bitcoin, revealing how properties that seem to appreciate in fiat terms are actually losing value against Bitcoin. This eye-opening perspective highlights the inefficiency of traditional investments and underscores why Bitcoin-based companies might yield superior returns. Delve into the potential centralization threats posed by Bitcoin's layer two solutions and grapple with the challenges of setting price targets for this revolutionary asset. Discover how Bitcoin has the potential to reshape market dynamics and human freedom on a global scale, offering more efficient and equitable financial systems.

In our final chapter, we explore the staggering global debt and assets figures, discussing the insolvency of current systems and the potential for Bitcoin to reprice these assets fundamentally. We also touch upon the political ramifications of Bitcoin, noting the increasing engagement of politicians with the Bitcoin community to secure votes. As we wrap up, we entertain the idea of Jeff Booth for president and emphasize the importance of following him on platforms like Nostr and X. Don't miss out on Jeff's insightful book, "The Price of Tomorrow," and join us in expressing our gratitude to the audience for their continued support.
