## Resource

GMoney welcomes Jeff Booth (author of The Price of Tomorrow) back to the show for a conversation that takes direct aim at one accusation Bitcoiners hear constantly: that a deflationary, abundant future is just socialism wearing an orange hat. Booth flips the frame entirely, arguing the real hypocrisy belongs to the folks defending a system that has never actually been a free market. Expect a first-principles breakdown of why deflation is a feature, not a bug, why stablecoins and yield instruments might be less friendly than they look, and why "someone else will fix it" is the most expensive lie you can tell yourself. GMoney also opens with a spirited rant about the BIP-110 soft fork and what he sees as an attack on Bitcoin's high-consensus soul. Equal parts economics lesson and call to take agency, this one rewards anyone tired of the same tired left-versus-right script.
