Is the fiat system really sustainable—or is it slowly breaking down? In this interview, Jeff Booth shares his perspective on why inflation may be built into our current monetary system, arguing that “we are robbing ourselves” by participating in it. He explains why he believes free markets should be naturally deflationary, how technology and AI are accelerating this trend, and why Bitcoin represents a fundamentally different system rather than just another asset. The conversation also explores whether fiat currencies can continue adapting or are ultimately destined to fail, what role governments and regulation play, and whether individuals actually have more agency than they think. A deep dive into money, power, and what the future of the global financial system could look like.
