Everyone is living in Argentina with Jeff Booth

In this episode, we speak with Jeff Booth—entrepreneur, author of The Price of Tomorrow, and founding partner at Ego Death Capital—about what happens when deflation meets a free market for the first time. Jeff unpacks how AI and robotics are accelerating exponential productivity, and why only bitcoin can encode that abundance into the economy without extraction. We talk about what it means to denominate your life in bitcoin, why the future is being built by people who have already opted out of the legacy system, and how venture capital looks different when the benchmark is no longer 8%—but 45%. Jeff offers a deeply moral take on progress, pricing, and why building on bitcoin is no longer risky—it’s necessary.
