This interview is from March 2023, and while I asked a few questions that may seem basic for seasoned Jeff Booth listeners (advance 15 minutes into the video for more interesting topics 🙂 this talk catapulted my Bitcoin journey much further than I could have imagined back then. This talk unlocked what I was missing to move forward. Listen to our most recent talk here!
Why Did I Interview Jeff Booth
I interviewed Jeff because by March 2023 I had spent the last 3 years trying to understand his thesis and was as far as I could get on my journey. The first time I heard one of his interviews, I knew that what he was saying was true – I felt it on a soul level – but I couldn’t understand why. I could hear what he was saying, and while it made sense in my heart – I couldn’t grasp the implications in my mind.
So I pursued my journey in Bitcoin, watching all of Jeffs interviews and trying to first understand, and then refute his thesis. This discussion is what made things click for me by unlocking the missing puzzle pieces that helped me see the bigger picture. A few months later I really understood the implications of what Jeff is saying on a much deeper level. We will be doing another interview together soon on truth, abundance, time, and singularity.
