FTM1: Jeff Booth: Bitcoin brings truth, hope and a better future for humanity

"Who should have the right to destroy your time by destroying a button. If you believe that the system should be designed in this way, you yourself might be in a cult." - Jeff Booth

Out of all definitions of Bitcoin I hear, “Bitcoin is hope” probably comes up the most.

It’s really cool to see how people start to get their life in order and build things once they go down the Bitcoin route. The social network of Bitcoin helps a lot here. I could talk to Bitcoiners locally (here in Vienna) or internationally (on Zoom) all day long. Sometimes I do.

And I get to meet the most amazing people. One of my favourites is - of course - Jeff Booth. The incredibly humble Canadian is a role model for me - when it comes to explaining Bitcoin, thinking about Bitcoin - and keeping your ego in check while you’re doing it. Jeff even called his new fund “Ego Death Capital” :)

This interview was taped in August 2022. I apologise for the delay. But I promise, it hasn’t lost any of its relevance. Probably the opposite.
