047 Bitcoin Mining & Climate Change w/ Jeff Booth & Harald Rauter
About this episode
🎧 Episode #047 – Fiat Destroys Our Planet (Bitcoin Saves It)
w/ Jeff Booth & Harald Rauter
This is a reupload of a powerful conversation recorded at Bitcoin Atlantis in Madeira (2024).
We dive into the idea that the climate crisis is ultimately a monetary issue, driven by fiat incentives and systemic misallocation.
Jeff Booth explains why inflation equals climate change, and Harald Rauter shares how he moved from climate finance to a Bitcoin-first thesis.
Topics include:
– Fiat, inflation & climate collapse
– Proof-of-work as a tool for freedom
– Energy abundance through Bitcoin mining
– Africa, IMF, and monetary colonialism
Produced in cooperation with Swan Bitcoin.
