Jeff Booth, author of 'The Price of Tomorrow' and a Bitcoin advocate, discusses the deflationary nature of free markets. He argues that our credit-driven economy is inherently flawed, as it fights against natural deflation. The conversation highlights how AI could exacerbate economic disparities while Bitcoin has the potential to create a truly global market. Booth emphasizes the cultural divide between ‘Fiatland’ and Bitcoin, and explains why regions like the Global South might adopt Bitcoin faster, reshaping power dynamics and housing markets.

Episode notes
Free Market's Natural Deflation
- The natural state of free markets is deflation driven by continual value creation and competition.
- Deflation means prices fall as new technologies create more value cheaper than before.
Credit Systems Fight Deflation
- Credit-based systems must avoid deflation at all costs or risk catastrophic collapse.
- This leads to constant money manipulation favoring the wealthy and growing monopolies.
Bitcoin Imposes Global Free Market
- Bitcoin creates the first global free market where prices fall relative to it due to its decentralized, secure protocol.
- Adoption means deflationary pricing for energy, housing, and manufacturing becomes the new normal.
