Why Deflation is the Key to Abundance with Jeff Booth

[@MikeStillUK]

Jeff Booth is a gem

[@Securethemsats]

He has been.💯

[@sentinelwatch360]

Most of the times when i end up listen Jeff i always buy btc..no dip, just, screw it, the man is right.

[@kevinkelly1875]

I did the same 😂

[@PatrickN.]

So true!😁😁 I love listening to him when I get a little impatient and bored with this bear market. Definitely keeps me holding strong!

[@jonp.1084]

Guilty myself. I think he’s the most persuasive voice in bitcoin.

[@jonp.1084]

Not to mention he’s one of the nicest , intelligent, and most humble guys you could ever meet.

[@shinkurt]

I've been saying this way before Jeff booze but so glad someone has brought these things to mainstream

[@apc4884]

This interview is so good, I need to listen to it twice.

[@TonyFarese]

Me too.

[@peanut9051]

This is my third 😊 and I learned some more.

[@bertholdreimann89]

I think I'll watch it 4 times!

[@V4BTC]

More people need to listen to this man.

[@fab5888]

I think WBD is hands down the best of the best of Bitcoin podcasts for the majority of people and Jeff booth is the greatest educator about Bitcoin. His book is a master piece. I could listen to both of them for hours...

[@wrestler20000]

This and Bitcoin University are my essentials

[@TheBitcoinRevolution]

And Preston Pysh, Marty and Odell, Stephan Livera. OGs.

[@fridusfroetzl]

jeff Explained it so very well. I listened to this podcast 3 times over the last two days and I think I can now expain this to others.

[@TheBitcoinRevolution]

It takes a while to understand Jeff’s thesis but once you do 🤯

[@Bodhike]

[@seangrandillo]

This kind of episode MATTERS. Peter, your podcast MATTERS! Thank you!

[@mhma1976]

Even the things discussed not directly related to btc are mind expanding. The ai portion is incredible. Error correction seeking...❗️ Thanks to WBD and jb❗️This is something I can listen to again❗️

[@shkottrendezvous6644]

Arguably the best video on the internet. No joke. You guys have dissected this so beautifully. I never want to see myself as a thief but those who watch this are either thieves now or will be crazy not to become one of us. We must remember that with power comes responsibility. 😅

[@danoenco9487]

It finally clicked for me why technological deflation can not permanently coexist in an inflationary monetary system while the former seemingly enables the latter. Mind blown. Glad Dr Jeff left medicine for much more important/impactful work!

[@JeffCaplan313]

The more inflation occurs, the more folks invest in deflationary assets. The more folks invest in deflationary assets, the lesser the need for inflation.

[@marymyers9211]

"You have regulation to protect you from a system that is designed to steal your money. What could go wrong?" Jeff Booth. I'll be turning that over in my head for weeks. Great show, Peter!

[@KeystoneConservancy]

What a friggin way to start a weekend!! Thanks, WBD Team!!

[@bertholdreimann89]

Again: greatful thanks! Share it hundred thousand times!

[@freakwifme]

Wow... This guy... what a brain... so good and eye-opening to what is around the corner. Magnificent.

[@BTC_Reef]

Jeff is #1 on my list for influential Bitcoiners.

[@christophergreen3030]

#1. No question.

[@NiceOneZebra]

I feel the same way

[@yannickgranger]

Thank you guys. Mind blowing interview !

[@tolun99]

What a thinker Jeff is. He has the ability to distill concepts to simple explanations and to connect dots better than anyone I can think of. Michael Saylor may be another at his level. The challenge is to find an easy way to get people to understand these principles.

[@seniorsenckes446]

Very nice interview, because you asked Jeff really good questions. To follow Jeffs Argumentation requires so much awareness and intelligence that it is always a bit overwhelming for me. You addressed this issue and made everything clearer to me with your questions. Thank you two so much!

[@JuliusThePRofit]

Jeff's thesis is brilliant. Prices fall to the marginal cost of production -> The marginal cost of production is falling because of AI & Robotics -> Therefore if prices aren’t falling under the current system, that system is stealing value from those productivity gains and trickling it up to the top -> Measuring the system from the system is an inherent flaw -> The system cannot change from within -> If you measure in BTC (because it cannot be manipulated) you see the prices fall to 0

[@kingpooh6429]

Thank you

[@beartompkins6010]

I’m going to read both of those writings now! Keynes and Booths

[@joshuajames2425]

The Price of tomorrow

[@AzHodl]

Episode of the decade.

[@jamessharmanchef]

Always a treat to see Jeff on - Mind bending.

[@schlemmermaul5224]

54:17 “Financial regulation to protect you from a system designed to steal from you”…Jeff Booth’s thesis in a nutshell!

[@stevenreading]

This interview has blown my mind. Now straight to the book. Thank you!

[@medanih]

I was watching this, thinking it was a new episode. Then the dept clock flashed on screen. It confused me because I thought it was 35 trillion. One year old show, and Jeff nailed it.

[@mhma1976]

This is a fucking AWESOME interview! Mind blowing 🤯...even when you think you already understand all aspects of bitcoin❗️

[@mareksbi6531]

Great one. Big thanks! Highest intellectual entertainment. Must watch it at least 2 more times at leisure.

[@benyoung4548]

Awesome interview guys! I could’ve kept watching for another hour. Operation choke point? Keen to learn more about this so we can prepare.

[@jamiebower5585]

Jeff is one of the few people i cannot listen to at 1.25X speed. Just so much wisdom from this guy!

[@m02caine]

Best interview I’ve ever listened to. Big thank you. 💯

[@peanut9051]

Thank you Jeff. It took me 3 years to hear what you laid out here today. Your book infuriated me at first listen but now I see your thesis. I am very thankful that I have had the opportunity to have my eyes open. So cool. Thanks again for the interview.

[@mazza3137]

Great episode. Read the book 👍. Feels like I never can have too much bitcoin

[@flowthebo1]

Insanely powerful interview. You guys change my view of the world. You change my life basically. Crazy. Thank you.

[@bertholdreimann89]

Great Contest! So helpful! Greatful thanks 🙏👍👌

[@fredbear2648]

Thanks for this Jeff Booth interview. I finally get it, and that's saying a lot, as I listen to everything Jeff says.

[@wesleycarter4527]

Gonna have to rewatch this one, a lot to unbox here. Love it!!

[@ericloh4871]

In a world where debt is commonplace and Gov believes that it can print and solve all problems, money is abundant yet its value keeps slipping away where folks take the abundant money to chase what is truly rare with limited supply. Hence there is this phrase, I am so poor that I only left with money.

[@goobtron]

I love Jeff Booth so much

[@aquaphazed]

This is the second time I listened to this one. I got so much more this time than the first. I will listen a third time. And a fourth. Excellent discussion.

[@kevinkelly1875]

That was outstanding all around. Thank you gents!!!

[@DickoWA2010]

Thanks for asking the gold question

[@JuliusThePRofit]

We are in a system that is insolvent and yet the individuals are expected to be solvent... Brilliant

[@yasminross4452]

This has been added to the top of my important Bitcoin videos list

[@BrieKirbyson]

Phenomenal interview, a lot of things are starting to click for me now too that I couldn't quite wrap my head around before. Seeing for the first time how AI plays into all this and how it is absolutely critical that we get out of the current system for the gains of AI to benefit everyone. Will need to listen to this again!

[@danmac64]

Mind blown again, so many big ideas encapsulated in simple sentences.

[@danmartinez4401]

Amazing interview 🤙🏽

[@dankatsikis3652]

Beautiful.. just beautiful.

[@jamesgillies3437]

Jeff's perspective on bitcoin gives me so much hope for the future

[@onoyoudont]

and this is why “you will own nothing and be happy” it is not a dream, it is an order, a command.

[@KnutSvanholm]

Lovely conversation, gentlemen. Bravo!

[@peanut9051]

Thank you Jeff. Wonderful insight!

[@lastnamefirstname2390]

Jeff is the GOAT

[@maryebert4980]

I read his book twice! It explains what engineers have been screaming about.

[@rickknight3823]

Just about to start listening.. I have high expectations... Will I actually learn something??!!

I listen to it on repeat .... I believe you have put in place the piece I was missing to advance in my understanding of Bitcoin. No words are strong enough to thank you. I am so proud to be part of such a talented community as the Bitcoin community.

[@chrishayes8012]

Jeff is absolutely amazing

[@eltea3592]

Learn so much every single time I listen to you and Jeff. Shout out to being a fellow Canadian. Jeff’s insights are so amazing. Kinda makes my head spin. In a good way. I have not stopped buying BTC. 10% of my wages go into my Ledger every time I get paid. Thanks for the great content

[@wattzefeuke]

Bukele gets all this. His campaign slogan was “There’s enough money if nobody steals.”

[@whalehunter3214]

Love Jeff! Gives me hope listening to his articulation of the complexities of the system. Also, great to hear someone bring in the oxygen narative, its the first time I've heard someone else say what I've been saying for 30yrears! Thanks Jeff, see you in Madeira!

[@ToEnlightInLove]

Soooo much value!

[@BeardyDay]

Satoshi put this genius idea called bitcoin at the base layer so intentions really don’t matter, whether Bukele is genius or not is irrelevant, the protocol works around our human nature …. Genius. I don’t know how Satoshi put this all together.

[@mlbonfox8199]

Same goes to Jeff

[@lance9749]

That was awesome … keep going … make it a 9 part series like Saylor and Breedlove

[@renaud28]

This guy is a legend

[@BTCanhonestledger]

This is some heavy shit…. So good!!

[@digitalsamurai42]

This is incredible!

[@MD-ib4ix]

Worth reading the book

[@freyawildesciencefictionau8156]

Wonderful and intelligent. I appreciate. ❤

[@Barrysurf1]

Jeff is a treasure for sure this is how I see it Recently seen an ai tractor going along a field it knows what are weeds to kill and what are crops to feed the farmers gets a map of the field Then I see a solar driven auto version no cost as no fuel or driver So cheap food for all if the farmer owns the produce But if big companies own it then its a fail as they will rig prices and we will not benefit Thoughts ?

[@scotts9799]

Great podcast, so much to think about and internalize. But, I have a fundamental question. If inflation is part of their master plan to reduce the debt, then why are they working so hard to squash inflation? It’s two conflicting strategies.

[@dipunm]

Define marginal cost of production: The marginal cost refers to the increase in production costs generated by the production of additional product units. It is also known as the marginal cost of production. Calculating the marginal cost allows companies to see how volume output influences cost and hence, ultimately, profits.

Great talk, thanks!

Thx for amazing content 🎉

really enjoyed this one

[@JonFrumTheFirst]

Deep thoughts this time. I'm old enough that I won't see much of it come to fruition. Probably just as well.

[@JohnDoe-gg6kc]

Ppl dont change in these hyper inflation countries because they cant, either they are spending what they have to survive, or the gov shuts down the offramps.

[@Pummelpuffpuff]

just excellent

I still want to see Booth talk BTC with Yanis Varoufakis.

[@dredgmo]

I see Jeff Booth, I watch.

[@BS-jh1ug]

My man Jeff was huuuuuuuuuuuungover

[@ikwos]

When you’re trying to make a decision. Stop and ask yourself “What would Jeff do?

[@TheRealDerekS]

Booth is the Truth!!

[@jafferali4172]

Prices falling is not a measure of productivity. Prices often fall due to zero interest rates and prices falling due to VC and PE subsidies. Prices coming down due to many reasons.

[@JonFrumTheFirst]

The first digital camera brought to market cost a thousand dollars in 1990. Now, every phone has one, and most people don't bother buying a stand-alone camera. That same phone also contains a calculator, a radio, a movie player, a GPS locator, a clock, etc. None of that has anything to do with interest rates. I'm 68 years old, and I see inner city kids walking around with (in my mind) many thousands of dollars of technology in their pockets.

[@lukitasm]

What Jeff is explaining is crucial economic knowledge. I’m curious what he thinks about Bitcoin store of value vs electronic cash narrative

[@stephenbrooke3066]

Great interview! Always love listening to Jeff. Do you have a visual map of the progression of events predicted in your book “The Price of Tomorrow”? This would be super helpful in explaining Bitcoin to those family members that tell me they don’t have time to look into Bitcoin and don’t have time to read your book. Just an idea I had while watching the WBD video interview with you from Apr 29, 2023.

[@rctowns]

read Ms. Lionel Shriver's "The Mandibles" (novel) published in 2016. BTC correlated to LTC, only. Bitcoin Jubilee

[@cyclingphilosopher8798]

Instead of calling inflation theft, perhaps you can call it the bill to pay (interest payment) for the debt-based system. If you own other assets than fiat currency, you pay less of that bill than those who own only fiat currency (or nothing at all).

[@betterdays7613]

Another great look into our future. Thanks so much guys for putting this one together.

[@jamesdunham1072]

Jeff is fucking brilliant...

[@bradynields9783]

Would it be possible to transition BTC to a productive asset?

[@ericwilson2632]

To understand what Mr. Jeff Booth is talking about do a chart graph of the Dollar going up in so call value then underneath do a chart of Bitcoin going down in so call value ! Then flip the chart over where you see Bitcoin going up and the Dollar going down! This man is a Genius, it took me awhile to understand what he is talking about...We just see Dollars, Mr Booth sees Bitcoin...If people see it in graph chart they get it!!!

[@jamestreanor182]

Danny, call a landscaper for Peter please

[@shkottrendezvous6644]

Mind blowing - his advanced logic makes perfect sense but it’s just not what we are being told or taught because it’s scary as shit.

[@essexdrone6595]

Mind blown 🤯

[@chrisrodriguez6729]

is there a place where we can see the marginal cost of production for prices using btc as the measurement?
