Tomorrow I have the distinct honor of speaking with nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe for the next #BitcoinTalk episode of THE #Bitcoin Podcast.

If you could ask Jeff Booth one question (about Bitcoin, life, current events, the future, or anything) what would it be?

In the interest of giving preference to #nostr I’ll pick a couple questions from the replies to this note to ask him, and will tell folks on Twitter to go to nostr if they want to submit a question 🤙

Any potential intersections for nostr and fedi?

Ask Jeff what he thinks about drivechains

What sort of changes in values & modus operandi he expects/would like to see from companies working under a Bitcoin standard vs the fiat standard? And then, if you have the time, perhaps you can also extend this question to nation states (although I think The Sovereign Individual explains the nation states part quite well, would still be keen to hear his thoughts and whether he agrees or disagrees with TSI thesis).

Thanks :)

Great question

In addition to the obvious, what are some other avenues in which plebs can gradually transition into a #btc realm/economy as a small business, employee and or employer?!

As an entrpreneur, assume we already have/accept BTC payment options.

🤙

Is he going to adopting bitcoin in El Salvador this November?

Since we can’t change a system from within the existing system and all prices fall to the marginal cost of production, should I smash ₿uy more 🌽?

I think we already know the answer to that one ;)

One day you’ll be able to talk to your Fedimint using nostr. The Fedimint itself will have an npub.

Hi there

™️

Your time proceeds you.

Tell me about yourself. How does our times entangle?

Is the future dominant use case purely a store of value, in which case no one should ever trade sats for two pizzas, or as a legal tender alternative in countries with high inflation fiat currencies, i.e. “Sure, buy the pizzas”?

How do you feel about being bitcoin royalty?

Given that we are living in a technology fueled, exponential deflationary economy, what are his thoughts about how an inflation (CPI) target might consequently and necessarily result in inversely exponential monetary expansion and subsequent government growth?

Interesting to look at it from the government growth perspective… i.e. does the State become even more bloated, or is it at some point forced to trim the fat.

After I read his book one of the primary conclusions that I added to my economic mental framework is, given that technology is exponentially deflationary, a fixed, positive CPI target will necessarily result in exponential money printing just to keep prices increasing rather than decreasing.

We all know ₿ is inevitable, but there are always unknown unknowns. What would you have to see in order to start questioning the success of hyperbitcoinization?

Good question 🤌

The Chinese birthrate has recently dropped to 1.09, S. Korea is below 1, birthrates in many countries are not over the replacement rate of 2.1. In a future where the population is older and declining, how does bitcoin bahve in that environment?

Maybe something about extreme weather events. Insurance companies are pulling out of FL and CA due to losses from storms and fires. Freezing events in Texas, storm surges flooding subways in NYC heatwaves in the pacific northwest, we will be dealing with unforeseen weather events.

Walker, can you increase your (the microphone you use) audio levels? Jordan sounded great, but I always have to turn up my volume to hear you on every episode. Please consider.

Yes, absolutely. Very much appreciate the feedback. Will adjust the mic setup for tomorrow 🫡

What is the spirit of bitcoin?

1) If he had the opportunity (today) to ask Satoshi only one question what would he ask?

2) If he (today) had the opportunity (by time traveling) to give Satoshi some advice before launching Bitcoin what would he advice?

What advice would Jeff give a young person entering the workforce today, to ensure they can navigate the dynamic landscape of technology-driven changes and find meaningful success?

Given that the political class feels increasingly threatened evidenced by their ever-tightening grip, what can we do to tip the scales towards the side of a velvet revolution as opposed to the likely more bloody version?

Ask him what his plans to leave Canada and if Madeira is at the top of the list.

There's a storm coming.. What advice does he give to young people who might not have yet acquired enough resources to ride out the storm?

To understand bitcoin properly, is to completely loose faith in the current system, and see it for the fiat Ponzi that it is…This is an intellectual leap that most people don’t want to take. Is there another way to orange pill friends and family?

Serious questions only of course:

What’s Jeff’s favourite song to play on guitar?

How far can Jeff squirt a stream of water with one hand?

And your favourite Im sure:

if the sun made a sound what sound would it make?

NOT THE SUN SOUND QUESTION AGAIN

I know we don’t care about price but…

When 1 usd cent = 1 Sat 🤣?

Thank you for asking him 🫡

I would be very interested in hearing his thoughts on AI and Bitcoin. If you could ever get Jeff Booth and Brian @BrianRoemmele to be in the same podcast it would be mind-blowing!

have you ever considered testosterone injections ?
