Matt and Saki revisit the Pareto Distribution, which is more commonly understood as the 80/20 rule.

The national economic news continues to be worrisome, as once again the Federal Reserve opts for a 0.75% increase to the federal funds rate. Inflation remains white-hot. By whatever metric you consider to be the appropriate way to measure a recession, the post-COVID economy continues to sputter in fits as supply-chain issues and government spending cause concern.
But does this mean things are gloomy where you are? While prices are getting higher for everyone, when you dive into the data, there are actually areas in the country that are doing much better than others. Matt and Saki discuss why it's important to factor in local trends and local performance as you consider important decisions for your financial future.

This week, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission recommended that Google and Apple consider removing TikTok from their respective app stores due to concerns about data security. You may not realize it, but TikTok is not the only app that harvests data about you. But whose data is it anyway? Does your data belong to you, or to the companies with whom you do business?
Matt and Saki also discuss the 80/20 rule. It often reveals itself in who terms of who is most productive in a given organization, who is most wealthy in a society, and other social applications. Are there ways you can put it to use for your advantage? You'll want to listen to find out!

Matt and Saki bring you part three of their book review of The Bitcoin Standard, by Saifedean Ammous. They discuss three main topics: time preference, the role of money and markets in pricing (i.e. - how to determine the relative value of goods and services), and the relationship between sound money and a free people. The topics discussed are extremely relevant to the topics of inflation and recession, and are thus very timely given today's economic environment.

It's been an incredible week of news since our last episode: the May inflation report and producer price index numbers came out, several major stock indexes entered "Bear" territory, and the Federal Reserve increased interest rates by a historic margin. Matt and Saki discuss these stories and share insights about why it may be time to buy soon -- if it isn't time already.
Saki is a very conservative investor, looking for just the right deal. Matt sometimes prods him when economic conditions change to see if he will budge from his game plan, but he always answers the same way: a good deal is a good deal in any economic environment. They talk about this principle as it relates to short-term speculative investing versus long-term value investing. As they say, patience is a virtue!

On this special episode of The Purposeful Podcast, Matt and Saki begin their review of The Bitcoin Standard by Saifadean Ammous.
In order to understand Bitcoin - and currencies in general - it is critical to understand money: what it is and how it works. In the opening chapters of his book The Bitcoin Standard, Dr. Saifadean Ammous gives a primer on the fundamental characteristics of money, and illustrates them by providing examples of currencies from ancient societies. Matt and Saki discuss the traits that make any particular currency good money (or bad), and explain how a good understanding of money is critical to understanding the high inflation that the United States is currently experiencing.
