      This is NOTHING new and just Austrian economics!! He only changed real Money/GOLD for Bit/Shitcoins which CAN be manipulated!!
      Inflation must be measured in Gold not Shitcoins!! Shitcoins are just another form of fake fiat currency!!

    It finally clicked for me why technological deflation can not permanently coexist in an inflationary monetary system while the former seemingly enables the latter. Mind blown. Glad Dr Jeff left medicine for much more important/impactful work!

    54:17 “Financial regulation to protect you from a system designed to steal from you”…Jeff Booth’s thesis in a nutshell!

  • @JuliusThePRofit
    @JuliusThePRofit Рік тому +5

    Jeff's thesis is brilliant.
    Prices fall to the marginal cost of production -> The marginal cost of production is falling because of AI & Robotics -> Therefore if prices aren’t falling under the current system, that system is stealing value from those productivity gains and trickling it up to the top -> Measuring the system from the system is an inherent flaw -> The system cannot change from within -> If you measure in BTC (because it cannot be manipulated) you see the prices fall to 0

    In a world where debt is commonplace and Gov believes that it can print and solve all problems, money is abundant yet its value keeps slipping away where folks take the abundant money to chase what is truly rare with limited supply. Hence there is this phrase, I am so poor that I only left with money.

    What a thinker Jeff is. He has the ability to distill concepts to simple explanations and to connect dots better than anyone I can think of. Michael Saylor may be another at his level. The challenge is to find an easy way to get people to understand these principles.

  • @Barrysurf1

    Jeff is a treasure for sure this is how I see it
    Recently seen an ai tractor going along a field it knows what are weeds to kill and what are crops to feed the farmers gets a map of the field
    Then I see a solar driven auto version no cost as no fuel or driver
    So cheap food for all if the farmer owns the produce
    But if big companies own it then its a fail as they will rig prices and we will not benefit
    Thoughts ?

    Define marginal cost of production:
    The marginal cost refers to the increase in production costs generated by the production of additional product units. It is also known as the marginal cost of production. Calculating the marginal cost allows companies to see how volume output influences cost and hence, ultimately, profits.

    Prices falling is not a measure of productivity. Prices often fall due to zero interest rates and prices falling due to VC and PE subsidies. Prices coming down due to many reasons.

      The first digital camera brought to market cost a thousand dollars in 1990. Now, every phone has one, and most people don't bother buying a stand-alone camera. That same phone also contains a calculator, a radio, a movie player, a GPS locator, a clock, etc. None of that has anything to do with interest rates. I'm 68 years old, and I see inner city kids walking around with (in my mind) many thousands of dollars of technology in their pockets.
