Escaping the Matrix with Jeff Booth


Listen Later

In this profound episode, Jeff Booth, author of The Price of Tomorrow and Founding Partner at Ego Death Capital, joins Brandon to discuss the psychological and economic shift required to live on a Bitcoin standard.

Jeff challenges the very foundation of our economic reality, explaining why deflation is the natural state of the free market and why the current inflationary system is a "matrix" designed to steal your time.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The "Natural State" of Markets: Why prices should fall to the marginal cost of production, and why they don't in a fiat world.
  • The Jeff Booth AI Agent: Jeff reveals he launched an AI version of himself on Twitter/X to handle the "chaos," while he moves his real time to Nostr and high-value relationships.
  • Escaping the Matrix: Why waking up to the truth of the system feels like a betrayal of your past self—and why most people refuse to do it.
  • Ego Death: Why you must kill your ego to see the truth, and how this philosophy drives his venture capital firm.
  • Value vs. Rent-Seeking: The difference between extracting value (fiat mindset) and creating value (Bitcoin mindset).
  • The "Climate" Question: Jeff revisits the energy chapter of his book and admits where his thinking has evolved (and got more "tinfoil hat").

This is not just a conversation about money; it is a conversation about truth, responsibility, and the meaning of a life well-lived.
