And within 30 seconds, I knew, I was like, this woman is living in this world that has been concocted by the mainstream media, which is not reality.

And so I said, inflation is coming down.

How Smart Investors Turn Bitcoin Drawdowns Into Tax Wins | Chris Kline

How Smart Investors Turn Bitcoin Drawdowns Into Tax Wins | Chris Kline

How Smart Investors Turn Bitcoin Drawdowns Into Tax Wins | Chris Kline

How Smart Investors Turn Bitcoin Drawdowns Into Tax Wins | Chris Kline

So Truflation now, for those that don't know, Truflation, the data came out that it has a 97% correlation of the CPI with a one-month lag.

So if you look at what Truflation says with 97% correlation, a month later, you'll know what CPI is going to say.

Well, right now, Truflation is below 1%.
The Pomp Podcast
How Smart Investors Turn Bitcoin Drawdowns Into Tax Wins | Chris Kline
Every single day so far in 2026, inflation, according to true inflation, has been below 2%.
The Pomp Podcast
How Smart Investors Turn Bitcoin Drawdowns Into Tax Wins | Chris Kline
There's not been one day where it's been over 2%.
The Pomp Podcast

So when you look at the 97% correlation, given where true inflation is, one month lag, in the next 60 days or so, it is believed that the CPI metric could go as low as 1%.
