I am delighted to welcome Jeff Booth back for another recording! Jeff Booth is an entrepreneur, investor, and thought leader who has navigated the intersections of technology and economics for decades. He already shared some great insights in episode 10, and today we dive into a thought-provoking piece of his, called 'The Greatest Game’. A compelling narrative that challenged my perceptions of economic systems, the intrinsic value of Bitcoin, and the transformative power of technology.
