What a great conversation with one of the absolute best thinkers today! @Jeff Booth shares his thesis on the deflationary force of technology and how Bitcoin enables the first global free market that can potentially transform our economic paradigm. He explains why the natural state of a free market is deflation as entrepreneurs compete to provide more value, leading to falling prices, while our current inflationary monetary system works against this natural abundance. This is especially relevant for Africa where oppression, corruption and poor infrastructure is a millstone around the necks of it's people. Finally, grassroots solutions are helping people out of the mess. This freedom.

These headlines, in the last few days, highlight that bitcoin is no longer the ''fringe''. It is drawing the attention of governments, mortgage lenders, and the Federal Reserve in the USA. South African businesses can access the bitcoin protocol just as easily as any of these organisations, and it's just as easy for the man in the street. If you are even curious about what that can mean for you, give us a shout. image

Companies holding bitcoin treasuries now number 240 from around the world, as of 23/6/2025 This has increased by 26 companies in the past 30 days, which come to over a 10% increase in 30 days. The amount of bitcoin held by these same companies is 3.45 million bitcoin, which at today’s price of $102 000 USD has a total value of $351.9 Billion USD This phenomenon has been steadily increasing, unabated, for the past 6 years. Remember, these are companies that are both privately owned and public companies. All companies are accountable to their shareholders and expected to make profits, and then reinvest those profits to ensure future growth and sustainability. So why would they be converting their cash reserves into bitcoin? Let’s look at the bitcoin price movement over the past 6 years. In Jan 2019 the bitcoin price was $3693 USD In Jan 2025 the bitcoin price was $93595 USD This is a return of 2434% over 6 years, or 405.7% per year (year on year). Of course past performance is no indication of future returns, but 26 companies in the past 30 days have decided that this is worth not just investigating, but investing in by putting some skin in the game. Everybody has an opinion about bitcoin; from the haters, to the indifferent, to the curious, to the maxi’s. But ‘Words are Wind’ to quote Game of Thrones, and it may be worth paying more attention to the people and their companies that offer their opinion in the form of money invested.

I'm about half way through this series, and it's absolutely chilling. If ever there was a case for the existence of Evil in this world, then this is a pretty good place to lay the foundation of such. The methodical approach, taken with such care and patience, over such a long period of time, and with such a wide net, can never be accidental. It is coordinated malice and hatred of humanity on a scale I don't think has existed before. Learning about this has been extremely motivating for me. I am thinking deeply about how to life going forward. One of your best episodes Guy - thank you

Just used @https://silent.link for the first time. Visiting a new country for a few days as an extended connection, for a short holiday, between the US and South Africa. Took 5 minutes to order, pay and setup using LN. No hassle. No personal info required. This is incredible. image
