Today we sit down with Jeff Booth author of the new book The Price of Tomorrow. Jeff is a long time tech entrepreneur - He led BuildDirect, a technology company that aimed to simplify the building industry, for nearly two decades and he invests in and sits on the boards of many tech companies. Needless to say Jeff has his finger on the pulse of the global tech industry. In this disucssion we dive into the ideas he’s fleshed out in The Price of Tomorrow - deflationary technology in the time of inflationary monetary policy - the deep societal problems caused by inflationary money - how deflationary technology could combine with the deflationary money that is Bitcoin. We soberly examine the current state of affairs but also consider a bright future ahead and the path to get there.

Brandon Quittem w/ John Vallis: Bitcoin Symbiosis Apr 30, 2020

Show notes

Brandon Quittem published last week the fourth and final installment of his wonderful mycelium/mushroom/medicine/symbiosis series. John Vallis, host of the Bitcoin Rapid Fire podcast, and I both slid right into Brandon’s DMs to schedule him for a pod. I love these two guys and it occurred to me that it’d be a ton of fun to do this thing all together. So we did. This is the first half of our 2 hour 40 minute conversation - you will find the second half on the Bitcoin Rapid Fire podcast feed. This was a blast, we had a wide ranging conversation that was not at all limited to Bitcoin. In the second half we get crazy cosmic so be sure not to miss it.
