Part 9/12:
Personal Journey and Collective Transformation
Reflecting on his personal experience, Booth shares how he transitioned from skepticism to active participation in Bitcoin. Initially, he used Bitcoin as a hedge and encouraged others to do the same. Yet, by 2020, he realized that he was inadvertently reinforcing the very system that he sought to escape. This led him to fully commit by creating a venture capital fund dedicated to building the parallel, Bitcoin-based system.
He emphasizes that individual decisions—such as shifting time and energy towards this open protocol—are crucial. Personal transformation cascades into societal change, reinforcing the network as more participants adopt this new model.
