The Fed Did WHAT?! (TDL Live Ep 7)
Dive into Fed interest rates, jobs report revisions, crypto trends like Bitcoin vs Ethereum, Ray Dalio's economic forces, Japan carry trade unwind, and dad life balance in this Dad Ledger episode! #Economy #FedRates #Crypto #Bitcoin #Ethereum #RayDalio #DadLife #Investing
In this lively Dad Ledger interview, hosts Ryan Fields-Spack and Timo Prietto unpack the latest economic headlines while sharing real dad experiences. From the Fed's decision to hold rates steady amid weak jobs data and revisions, to debates on rate cuts, government stats trust, and the potential market shakeup from Japan's reverse carry trade. We dive into crypto's role in the future economy, tokenization by 2030, balancing W-2 jobs with family time, and long-term investing mindsets. Trent was geared up to join but got hit with food poisoning right before – classic dad chaos! Whether you're navigating markets, building wealth for your kids, or just dragging through summer with the family, this episode is for you. Not financial advice – just dads shooting the breeze for entertainment and education.
