In today's episode, we sit down with Stefan Rust, CEO of Truflation, to discuss the gap between government-issued inflation data and blockchain-based alternatives. While the Fed reports a 2.4% inflation rate, Truflation's real-time index shows 1.45%. What's causing the difference, and which data should investors trust?~~~~~

“In the last four years, we've seen an aggregate inflation of about 26 percent. So that's a quarter of your purchasing power—phoosh gone—just disappeared across the board,” says Stefan Rust, founder and CEO of Truflation, a blockchain-based financial data service that provides real-time economic and inflation data.What will be the impact of DOGE's aggressive cost-cutting? Could it cause a short-term reduction in the size of the U.S. economy?Some people have been talking about risks of deflation—is that really a concern? And what will be the economic impact of Trump's tariffs?Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

It has been a difficult year for cryptocurrency investors. Bitcoin has plunged from a record high of about $68,000 last year to trade in the $19,800 range on Monday, while the cryptocurrency sector's market capitalisation has again fallen below the $1 trillion mark. Analysts warn that the cryptocurrency roller coaster ride is far from over, dragged down by this year's equity bear market, global economic uncertainty, higher interest rates and a sharp rise in the cost of living around the world. Many novice investors might be ruing the day they jumped on the cryptocurrency bandwagon, believing they could make a fast buck on the likes of Bitcoin, Ethereum or meme coins such as Doge and Shiba Inu on their “shoot to the moon” journey. However, rather than panic selling — and risk losing a substantial chunk of your investment ― investors might want to consider some other strategies. These include holding on for dear life (HODLing) to avoid short-term volatility, or staking digital coins to earn passive income. Host Felicity Glover is joined by Stefan Rust, founder of blockchain development house Laguna Labs and former chief executive of bitcoin.com, who discusses the benefits of investing in cryptocurrencies for the longer term.

The independent inflation index Truflation has announced the release of its groundbreaking Dashboard 2.0. The new dashboard adds independent data weights (consumer expenditure data) to Truflation's index to decouple from the government's consumer price index (CPI). The goal of this major update by Truflation is to drastically improve inflation data that is offered by the government's CPI and revise the weightages of each category within the index to more accurately reflect market prices and consumer expenditures in different cost areas. The new data takes Truflation away from the current CPI model that uses 6 primary categories and introduces a new model which expands the index into 12 key pillars. Breaking up the major categories gives Truflation users access to better and deeper data insights in a more comprehensive set of spending categories. These unique categories will be released as independent price indices on the blockchain. “This update is a huge leap for Truflation. Our goal is to provide the best economic insights to the world. With independent demographic data, we can obtain a direct and accurate view into what households actually spend money on, and we can measure inflation more accurately. We can also expedite our expansion to Europe and South America,” said Stefan Rust, Founder of Truflation. Rust is a former CEO of Bitcoin.com and has put together a stellar team with 50+ years of cumulative experience in data science and the development of data products. The team recently acquired and implemented highly granular, global household expenditure data which the platform uses to build the Truflation index of what households actually buy and spend money on during the year. The system can update data weights in real time to reflect accurate and current inflation figures in different geographic areas across all 12 of the platform's price categories. Truflation's indices are also easier to scale across different countries using the same methodology, with categories and basket weights providing highly improved comparability. This contrasts with the current system in which every country has its own preferred method of calculating inflation. This lack of standardization can hinder cross-border comparisons and analyses, making it more difficult for the global community to work together toward overcoming shared challenges in the areas of cost, inflation, consumer prices, and consumer welfare.The new consumer data are available for various income households and take the average budget distribution of all income groups. The data is obtained through a combination of census, mini-census, and high-quality surveys of consumers and merchants, making Truflation's base data not just highly granular but exceptionally comprehensive.

Truflation has successfully closed its first private token sale, securing the funding required to accelerate its mission to systematize, standardize, decentralize, and democratize the reporting of all financial and economic data, as an on-chain Data DAO.Truflation's seed round includes investments from Fundamental Labs, C² Ventures, Balaji Srinivasan and the IBA as well as other private investors with extensive decentralized finance and data industry expertise and influence.Founded in 2021, Truflation offers independent and censorship-resistant US inflation calculations based on census level price information from more than 30 data sources in real time, as opposed to the BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics) approach which is based on survey data. This is put on-chain via blockchain oracles and is also accessible through a free public dashboard. Ryan Emmick, DeFi Lead at Fundamental Labs, said: “Truflation is revolutionizing economic reporting. Using tokenized incentives, they are making it possible to get continuous, accurate, uncensored sources for economic data globally. No longer can the groups causing inflation get away with manipulating the metrics surrounding it. We at Fundamental Labs are proud to be leading the round and helping Truflation to spearhead this issue.”All Truflation price indexes will be available through Chainlink's on-chain data oracles for DeFi and Web3 smart contract developers to incorporate into their applications. Truflation is a pioneer Data DAO in the Chainlink ecosystem.By taking a developer driven approach, data is collected from a large group of different data sources updated daily, tracking the price changes of 10 million items across 12 different categories. In 2022, Truflation plans to release inflation indexes for 5 additional countries as well as launch a wide range of other economic data feeds on-chain.Balaji Srinivasan, former Chief Technology Officer of Coinbase said:“In times of increasing inflation and unreliable sources, the world needs a global, decentralized, and censorship-resistant inflation dashboard we can trust. With the help of Chainlink oracles, Truflation is working to bring such a dashboard to life. We are excited to see what they build” Stefan Rust, Founder of Truflation, added: “We are proud to have found such a great group of supporters for a project that started off as an experiment to gauge how taking a developer approach to calculating inflation would stack up relative to what's being reported. This experiment has now rapidly grown to become a fully featured, data rich, and verifiable on-chain inflation product that updates daily for all to use.

Then to matters green, institutional money, CBDCs and stablecoins - the interview can be summed up in one word - CHOICE. Your host is Jillian Godsil, award winning journalist, broadcaster and author.

Blockchain technology is helping grow carbon credit trading while lowering investment costs so more young people can get involved, says Stefan Rust of Sonic Capital, in a special interview.

In April 2012, Stefan Rust bought Bitcoin for the first time, at $5. Now, 7 years later, he is CEO of Bitcoin.com, a company that aims to make Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Core alike more accessible to the general public, and that is home to all manner of cryptocurrency services via its eponymous web portal.  In this episode, our Editor-in-Chief Angie Lau sits down with Rust to talk about the future of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. Recent events including the U.S. Senate Banking Committee's hearing on Facebook Libra, President Trump and US Treasury Secretary Mnuchin's pessimistic comments, and the Financial Action Task Force's tightening regulations have been indicative of a global pushback against Facebook Libra and cryptocurrencies at large. Rust argues that this skepticism and distrust of cryptocurrency is a product of the underlying reluctance of government to depart from their traditional regulation of borders and limitations on transfer “of money, of intellectual property, of trade.”  “There is, from an enterprise standpoint, a desire to engage in this new technology and in this ability to move money globally without any barriers at a very efficient cost basis. Speed is what the market is looking for, particularly as we move towards a global organization. Governments are still trying to regulate their own little boundaries and limit the transfer of money, of intellectual property, of trade. And I think that's the barrier that all of us are trying to break down.” “I think innovation is happening on two folds. One is the consumerization of innovation and the other is the depths of innovation in terms of technology, in terms of the ability to provide the technology in a “non-custodial fashion.” I can either build innovation around custody or around non-custodial services. And blockchain has enabled non-custodial - what does that mean? That basically means the control is in me, the user, and the responsibility lies with me as the individual. Innovation on a non-custodial basis is very hard to attack and diffuse.” “The value is not in intellectual property, it's in the ecosystem that I have developed that is contributing to the overall blockchain, or Bitcoin.cash, or whatever the underlying algorithm is.”
