Final Meeting Tomorrow! w/ Jeff Booth: A North Star in My Bitcoin Journey
Hi All,
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving break! As we approach the end of the semester, I know your time is precious, and I’d really encourage you to join our final meeting on Monday, 12/02, at 6 PM in Gates G01 if you are able.
This meeting is especially meaningful for me as it marks both the close of the semester and my time leading the club, and we'll be joined by someone who has been a true North Star in my Bitcoin journey (and many others'): Jeff Booth.
Jeff’s book, The Price of Tomorrow: Why Deflation is the Key to an Abundant Future, inspired my message during our first meeting this semester, “The Price of Today: Why You Should Care About Bitcoin.” His insights have shaped how I view not just Bitcoin but the future of society.
Jeff's perspective is both eye-opening and empowering, challenging us to think differently about economics and innovation, showing how Bitcoin is more than money or technology; it’s a protocol for a better future. Every time I hear him, I gain new perspectives that stay with me, and I can’t wait for you to experience that too.
Jeff has a way of making big, complex ideas feel clear and relevant, and he doesn’t just talk about Bitcoin, he connects it to the challenges we face today and the opportunities we have to build a better future.
I'd love for you to join and hear from one of Bitcoin’s most thoughtful voices and engage with someone who is truly building the future - like you all!
