Inflation Rate Monitor

Pieter created a website (inflation-chart.com) to track and display real inflation rates after noticing discrepancies between official numbers and actual costs. The site emerged from his conviction that inflation would increase significantly due to money printing.

Key Points:

• Origin:

  • Started tweeting about inflation concerns 2-3 years ago
  • People dismissed warnings about money printing leading to inflation
  • Built website to prove real inflation numbers were higher than reported

• Purpose:

  • Track and display actual inflation rates
  • Provide transparency about real costs vs official numbers
  • Validate concerns about increasing inflation

• Validation:

  • Predictions proved accurate as inflation increased
  • Site serves as proof point for earlier warnings
  • Demonstrates how small projects can emerge from identifying market disconnects

• Business Model:

  • Website appears to be more of a public service tool
  • Functions as part of larger portfolio of projects
  • Adds credibility to creator's market insights
