Brian and Jeremiah talk about a volatile week in the markets with a deep dive into cryptocurrency, investor psychology, and why emotional reactions often lead to costly mistakes. The show breaks down Bitcoin's sharp pullback, putting it into historical context by explaining why 50%+ drawdowns have been a recurring part of its long-term behavior and why understanding your objective matters more than chasing momentum.

The conversation expands beyond crypto to examine broader market volatility, headline-driven fear, and the danger of reacting to short-term noise instead of sticking to a well-structured plan. Using real-world examples, the hosts explain how missing just a handful of the market's best days can dramatically reduce long-term returns and why disciplined investors are often rewarded after periods of panic.

The second hour shifts into practical planning topics, including how people actually buy and hold Bitcoin, ETFs versus direct ownership, and a candid discussion on annuities—when they may help, when they often don't, and how fear-based selling can lead to high fees and poor outcomes.
