    Everyone is living in Argentina with Jeff Booth

    In this episode, we speak with Jeff Booth—entrepreneur, author of The Price of Tomorrow, and founding partner at Ego Death Capital—about what happens when deflation meets a free market for the first time. Jeff unpacks how AI and robotics are accelerating exponential productivity, and why only bitcoin can encode that abundance into the economy without extraction. We talk about what it means to denominate your life in bitcoin, why the future is being built by people who have already opted out of the legacy system, and how venture capital looks different when the benchmark is no longer 8%—but 45%. Jeff offers a deeply moral take on progress, pricing, and why building on bitcoin is no longer risky—it’s necessary.

    The moral case for orange pilling with Tad Smith

    What if orange-pilling isn’t persuasion—but marketing, ethics, and timing? In this episode, we sit down with Tad Smith—partner at One Roundtable Partners, former CEO of Madison Square Garden and Sotheby’s, and one of bitcoin’s most articulate educators—to explore the moral case for orange-pilling, and why it’s not a right but a responsibility. Tad shares hard-won lessons from orange-pilling family members across generations and wealth brackets, and explains why alignment—not argument—is the key. We break down how different cohorts—from boomers to creatives—encounter bitcoin, and why effective orange-pilling starts with listening, not preaching. From bitcoin vs. college and homeownership, to AI’s threat to knowledge workers, Tad lays out how bitcoin becomes not speculation, but protection—not rebellion, but insurance—not utopia, but sovereignty.
