Many proponents of Bitcoin are very excited about what a Trump presidency may mean for Bitcoin prices. Today, Paul needs investors to know that Bitcoin is driven by supply and demand, still has to compete with other cryptocurrencies, and offers no true return on your investment. It’s always going to be worth what someone is willing to buy for it. So while it may be a high-profile time for the crypto market, it is a dangerous time to try to get in and play the crypto game.

Today Paul and Jeff talk about their first impressions after the Paul-Tyson fight over the weekend and they both have the same reaction: This was always more about the money than it was about the sport. Paul brings a clip from CNBC that talks about rampant sports betting and the negative effect it’s having on families’ emotional and financial well-being. The truth is that the investing industry works very similarly to the sports industry. They want you to focus on the drama and story behind their products so they can make money.

There are investment companies that will do anything to sell products to investors, even if that means lying about their products. Earlier this month, Invesco was sued and settled for $17.5 million for claiming that over 75% of their investments were ESG during the height of the ESG craze from 2020-2022. The truth was not only was it a lie, but the company had no documented procedures on how to achieve that goal or measure it. Evan talks about how advisors are groomed by the industry to sell products that people want to buy and what you can do to avoid working with them.

Today, Paul and Evan talk about an article that tells investors to watch out after the election. It claims that markets are overly optimistic and if you really want to know what’s coming you have to look back to 2016. Paul is skeptical of claims like these and counters the whole premise of the article by also looking back to 2016. The reality is that no one knows what’s going to happen, pundits are paid to make predictions, and markets are optimistic because they are resilient. Be on the lookout for the post-election spin from the media and don’t fall for the news. Later in the episode, Evan talks about the surprised and emotional reactions from many Americans, and the two advisors talk briefly about the 5 stages of grief.
