This is NOTHING new and just Austrian economics!! He only changed real Money/GOLD for Bit/Shitcoins which CAN be manipulated!! Inflation must be measured in Gold not Shitcoins!! Shitcoins are just another form of fake fiat currency!!
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...
"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!
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❗️
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. 😅
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!
The more inflation occurs, the more folks invest in deflationary assets. The more folks invest in deflationary assets, the lesser the need for inflation.
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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!
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 ?
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.
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.
I have wondered about the counter party risk, are not the miners and nodes the counter party risk of bitcoin? what about the Internet Providers and the Electricity Providers? we need those to use Bitcoin, also devices that only big tech can provide.
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.
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).
The same analogy of bitcoin not going up can be seen with Chuck Norris... When Chuck makes pushups he doesn't lift himself but the earth moves for him. 6:25
"Keeping the quantity of money constant does not assure that the money stream will remain constant, and in order to make the volume of the money stream behave in a desired manner the supply of money must possess considerable elasticity." F.A. Hayek - Denationalization of Money
Most of the times when i end up listen Jeff i always buy btc..no dip, just, screw it, the man is right.
I did the same 😂
So true!😁😁 I love listening to him when I get a little impatient and bored with this bear market. Definitely keeps me holding strong!
Guilty myself. I think he’s the most persuasive voice in bitcoin.
Not to mention he’s one of the nicest , intelligent, and most humble guys you could ever meet.
I've been saying this way before Jeff booze but so glad someone has brought these things to mainstream
Jeff Booth is a gem
He has been.💯
This is NOTHING new and just Austrian economics!! He only changed real Money/GOLD for Bit/Shitcoins which CAN be manipulated!!
Inflation must be measured in Gold not Shitcoins!! Shitcoins are just another form of fake fiat currency!!
This interview is so good, I need to listen to it twice.
Me too.
This is my third 😊 and I learned some more.
More people need to listen to this man.

This and Bitcoin University are my essentials

I think I'll watch it 4 times!
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.
It takes a while to understand Jeff’s thesis but once you do 🤯

Jeff is #1 on my list for influential Bitcoiners.
#1. No question.
I feel the same way
54:17 “Financial regulation to protect you from a system designed to steal from you”…Jeff Booth’s thesis in a nutshell!
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. 😅
What a friggin way to start a weekend!! Thanks, WBD Team!!

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

Thank you guys. Mind blowing interview !
Again: greatful thanks! Share it hundred thousand times!
Wow... This guy... what a brain... so good and eye-opening to what is around the corner. Magnificent.

Always a treat to see Jeff on - Mind bending.
Jeff Booth - a pleasure to listen to.
Awesome interview guys! I could’ve kept watching for another hour. Operation choke point? Keen to learn more about this so we can prepare.
This interview has blown my mind. Now straight to the book. Thank you!
Great Contest! So helpful! Greatful thanks 🙏👍👌

Great one. Big thanks! Highest intellectual entertainment. Must watch it at least 2 more times at leisure.
Great episode. Read the book 👍. Feels like I never can have too much bitcoin
Thanks for this Jeff Booth interview. I finally get it, and that's saying a lot, as I listen to everything Jeff says.
Best interview I’ve ever listened to. Big thank you. 💯
Insanely powerful interview. You guys change my view of the world. You change my life basically. Crazy. Thank you.
This is a fucking AWESOME interview! Mind blowing 🤯...even when you think you already understand all aspects of bitcoin❗️
Gonna have to rewatch this one, a lot to unbox here. Love it!!

Just about to start listening.. I have high expectations... Will I actually learn something??!!
That was outstanding all around. Thank you gents!!!

Jeff is absolutely amazing
Beautiful.. just beautiful.

Same goes to Jeff
Wonderful and intelligent. I appreciate. ❤
Great talk, thanks!
I read his book twice! It explains what engineers have been screaming about.
Mind blown again, so many big ideas encapsulated in simple sentences.
Jeff is the GOAT
really enjoyed this one
This is incredible!
Soooo much value!
Worth reading the book
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.

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

I still want to see Booth talk BTC with Yanis Varoufakis.
Deep thoughts this time. I'm old enough that I won't see much of it come to fruition. Probably just as well.
What Jeff is explaining is crucial economic knowledge. I’m curious what he thinks about Bitcoin store of value vs electronic cash narrative
When you’re trying to make a decision. Stop and ask yourself “What would Jeff do?

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