Jeff Booth: Why Everything Should Be Getting Cheaper - Robert Kiyosaki

Bitcoin and inflation sit at the center of a much bigger debate about money, technology, debt, and the future of the global economy.

In this episode of The Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki talks with Jeff Booth, entrepreneur and author of The Price of Tomorrow, about why technological progress should make goods and services cheaper—and why many people are experiencing exactly the opposite.

Booth argues that technology naturally creates deflation by allowing businesses and individuals to produce more value with fewer resources. But today's debt-based monetary system depends on continued growth, monetary expansion, and inflation. As those two forces move in opposite directions, Booth believes governments and central banks face a problem they cannot solve simply by creating more money.

Robert and Jeff examine how this conflict affects asset prices, housing, debt, purchasing power, and the growing divide between people who own assets and those who don't. They also challenge the assumption that rising prices always represent economic growth, arguing that currency debasement can make assets appear more valuable while money itself loses purchasing power.

Then they turn to Bitcoin.

Booth explains why he views Bitcoin differently from other cryptocurrencies and blockchains. He makes the case that Bitcoin's scarcity, decentralization, security, and proof-of-work structure could provide an alternative to a monetary system that continually expands the supply of money.

The discussion also explores how artificial intelligence, automation, digital technology, and cheaper energy could accelerate deflation—and why Booth believes those advances make the conflict with an inflationary monetary system even more important to understand.

If technology allows society to do more with less, why should everything keep getting more expensive?

Robert Kiyosaki and Jeff Booth challenge investors to look beyond individual markets and consider the monetary system underneath them. Understanding Bitcoin and inflation may ultimately require asking a bigger question: What happens when rapidly advancing technology collides with a financial system that depends on prices and debt continuing to rise?

Robert Kiyosaki was asked why he keeps buying gold and silver. His answer — the world economy is in great trouble and he doesn't trust our leaders or central banks to solve it. In fact they are the problem. U.S. debt is approaching $39 trillion. Robert has been buying real gold and silver since 1965 — not ETFs, not paper, the real thing. Gold and silver just retraced and Robert bought more. Legendary investor Jim Rogers says gold and silver are going to the moon.
