Deflationomics: rethinking wealth & power through Bitcoin w/ Jeff Booth
Jeff Booth – Author of The Price of Tomorrow, Visionary & Bitcoin VC
In episode 13 of reDeFined, co-hosts Jeremy Almond and Megan Guy sit down with entrepreneur and VC Jeff Booth, founding partner of Ego Death Capital and a respected leader in the Bitcoin industry.
They delve into Jeff's unconventional views on economics, particularly his belief in deflation as the natural state of the free market and its relation to Bitcoin. Jeff argues that inflation is a form of theft, driven by debt, and explores how Bitcoin could offer a solution. The discussion also covers practical aspects of living and investing in a Bitcoin-dominated economy, touching on real-world examples from El Salvador and company growth within the Bitcoin space.
