There is no business that doesn’t have risk, so if you are going into any business, then you should know there is a risk involved in it, whether it’s an online business or a physical business. If I am going to invest, then I will divide my money into three different parts before I start investing. I will invest some part in physical business, then I will also invest some part in online business, and then I will leave the remaining part as my reserve in case anything happens. I will have a backup, so I won’t have to start from the beginning. When you are venturing into any business, you should identify the risks involved in them so that you will be prepared in case anything happens that’s not really going to affect you.
 
Some people end up having some health challenges if their business fails due to shock, so you shouldn’t go beyond your limit just because you want to take a risk. If you notice the risk in your business is just too high, then try and leave it and venture into another business.
This has to be something that will be dealt with a situation that has to be a bit different, and doesn't really have that way of thinking. All in all, there is a risk involved with trading and there are many people who are taking more risk than others and they may make more or make less or even lose money but they just juggle with the risks.

I think it's quite important to realize that we are going to end up with a trading that could cause a constant trouble to begin with as well. This should mean that if you are a trader then you are going to take the risks involved with it, there is really nothing that you could do to make it look normalized at all, it's just part of life and you just have to live with it as much as you can.

After break out almost one month due AFC Asian Cup 2023, Saudi Pro League will play for matchday 20 in this weekend and we are excited waiting the unbeaten team Al Hilal performance. Before playing the next match in domestic league, Al Hilal will play on 16 of round AFC Champion League and face Sepahan on first leg with away match. I think Al Hilal will make some rotation in domestic league because they have focus for qualifying to quarter final in AFC Champion League have busy schedule match with second leg play three days later after domestic league match.
If anyone watched the games during this period, teams had some friendlies and it's easy to see that they are not good enough at all, the difference is just too big. The league will end with Al-Hilal title without a doubt, they are already ahead, so they should be the winners, but I assumed maybe they would get worse and yet they did not ,the yare still by far better and the yare going to just get the title.

Ittihad got Benzema back, which means nothing at this stage I know but maybe they can climb some positions? Not sure if they would get better, when Benzema was playing he wasn't really making a huge difference so I would not really expect him to suddenly impact that much. He was good because he had chemistry with Madrid.
243  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to make money on cryptocurrencies without investment? on: February 13, 2024, 02:41:22 AM
I'm just a newbie and I don't have other opportunities to make money irl because of my place of living and age. I tried already bounties and airdrops, but I'm not lucky in it. Thanks for your advices!!!
maybe your journey in crypto is still very short, so it's normal if you say you haven't succeeded, after all making money from crypto requires patience and focus, because quite a few have had a lot of success from bounties & airdrops and now they have capital and are starting to try trading, If you want to be successful you have to be patient, it can't be done instantaneously
This is the problem with crypto, it is getting more and more difficult ways of trying to make money. Back in the day people wanted to invest into number one ranked coin and get rich, which is bitcoin and some of them did while others didn't. Then came in people who wanted to invest into alts, and some did while some didn't. Then came in investing into nft's and memes and so forth, which some did and some didn't.

Now they are trying to make money without putting up money. Newbies who has been here for just a very short time, trying to find a way, where they spend zero dollars, and then make a lot of money, very quickly. If they think this type of possibility even exists, they must be really not aware of how the world works at all.
244  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Short Term Trading Altcoins and Meme Coins? on: February 13, 2024, 01:23:52 AM
Dogecoin is a good meme coin with huge market capitalization. A small investment in this meme coin is not a bad idea.
Doge coin price is moving around 0.08$. And it's All time high price is 0.7-0.8$. It means dogecoin is available at 10x low price from its all time high price. In the next bull run dogecoin can break their previous all time high record.
So, hold some dogecoins in your portfolio for massive profit. In short term it can also give good profit 10-20%
Mene Coin is quite demanding for small investors. Some investors have keep such faith in these coins that they try to get rich quick by investing in them. While some meme Coins offer high returns to investors, not all meme coins offer new ATHs. But if we accept Dogecoin as the father of meme coin, then we can certainly have an expectation. Investing in this coin offers a reliable return as it has a large number of investors and a high trading value. Currently the coin holds the 12th rank in terms of market cap. While investing in other coins has less confidence, long term investment in Doge Coin has significant profit potential. I hope it is possible to get at least 10x return on in bull run.
Unfortunately that's very true, there are way too many people who end up with trying to make money from high risk and usually low effort meme projects. This is some sort of trend, one that is not as hyped as it used to be but still valid for some people. The idea that they have is the fact that we are going to end up with a profit eventually, by doing anything we possibly could.

I think it would make more sense if we could just focus on how we could make money from something more serious, like bitcoin for example. Bitcoin is the real deal, the top ranked, and while it may not make you rich overnight, if you keep investing into it all the time and hold it for many years, you will get as rich as you need to get rich to have a better life.
245  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there play and pay later casinos? on: February 12, 2024, 06:19:41 PM
if gambling using a credit card gambler can pay. because the data on the credit card is very strict and of course the gambler will pay his debt. if gambling using paylater. what else provides the casino and it happens in online gambling 100% of the gamblers will not pay the debt.
This is why there are no casinos that is "pay later" type of casino, you end up with something that would be a lot more important to them and should avoid as much as possible. I do understand that we are going to end up with people who could maybe pay, but we know that there are many who won't.

This is why casinos do not take risks, they end up with gambling with whatever you have, that way they do not have to worry about you paying later on, it would make it a lot better for them. This way, they don't have to chase behind you for their money, if you have anything now then gamble with it and if you don't then don't gamble. Why risk their entire operation for people who may or may not pay their debt in the future? Makes no sense.
246  Economy / Economics / Re: Business/Entrepreneurship. on: February 12, 2024, 04:52:32 PM
So, if you had the opportunity to invest your money into something would it be to start up something regardless of the amount of risks that come with it, or would you rather open a business or make a simple investment into assets?
It all depends on potential. If the startup has good potential in the future, why not? or when the business or asset has potential too, why wouldn't I want to invest in it? I invest my money with the aim of being able to make a profit from it, so I will look for anything that has potential with as little risk as possible. So whether it's a startup, business, or investment in assets, I will invest my money with the expectation that I can get the maximum profit potential from it with the risks that I have previously estimated. I don't want to stick to one type of investment.
That is exactly how people should approach investment, if something looks like it has a potential to make you money then it would be smart. Imagine if you gave a few thousand dollars to facebook at their start, you would be a billionaire by now, not saying you would find something that big, but it is possible to see examples of that in the world, so investing into a startup is not a bad idea as long as you find one that doesn't go bankrupt.

It would be smarter to eventually find something that will make it better for you on the long run, and if you could do that then you would be able to do everything you could do. The best version of this would be just finding an AI company these days, very tough to invest, but could be good in the future.
247  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What does BTC mean to you? on: February 12, 2024, 10:33:52 AM
In my case it's freedom. Freedom to do what I want with my money.
I want to gamble - fine. I want to take it with me to another country when I travel - fine. I don't want the government to know how much money I have -fine. I want someone to inherit my money without having to pay anything to the government (which IMO they shouldn't because it's my money and I want them to have it, not anybody else) -fine again.
The deal is, I worked hard for my money and I want to spend it the way I decide to. I don't need anybody telling me what I can or cannot do with the wealth nobody helped me to earn.
You are right, that is definitely something that would be very good to know and very good to do. I understand that it may take some time but that is what we should be approaching it with and I think it ends up with something better. I get that we are not going to end up with a good chunk of profit all that easily, but we are going to be free to do whatever we want and that is the power of bitcoin. It has allowed me to build the life I want to build, and this really made everything better for me.

There are of course some situations where you are still not allowed to do, and there are still some risks because of it but at the end of the day we are talking about something that would benefit everyone all the same in the end.
248  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: February 11, 2024, 07:15:42 PM
Bellingham 2 goals cannot be separated from the contribution of Vinicius who was on fire. In my opinion, this is a match that Madrid deserved to win, at the first meeting Madrid won 3-0 and now at the Santiago Bernabeu Madrid won 4-0. We can conclude that Girona conqueror was Madrid. The reason is that when they slaughtered Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and even Sevilla, Girona's performance was very convincing. The question is whether Girona is just a small club or Madrid is too big. The answer is proven that 99% of La Liga this season could belong to Real Madrid. Regarding Joselu, yes he was just unlucky, maybe he fell asleep while taking the penalty. But overall, even if Joselu doesn't score it doesn't matter.

Will the end of Girona dominance in La Liga make them run out of energy to continue to stake their position. Madrid showed who was the real ruler and after the match ended, the Girona players mentality seemed to have slumped, even Yan Couto was crying because he couldn't believe the final result without a shot on target.
Vinicious really played like he wanted to prove something, it could be his best game this season long. Not that Jude played badly, he played great as well and it was a great moment and it went very well for him too. Overall the whole team was great aside from Joselu as usual.

I think it is not good for him neither because he is playing at a team who he can't play for, Real is much better team than he should be playing for and this makes him look worse than he normally could be. Like if he was playing for Girona or Sevilla or Villareal, basically any other team, then he could have shown how good he is, but because he is at Real, the expectations are a lot higher which results with him playing badly.
249  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Dead Coins: Over 50% of Cryptocurrencies Have Failed on: February 11, 2024, 04:18:23 PM
We can safely conclude that the numbers are even higher than that for two reasons, to begin with, this only considers the coins that have already died, but it is safe to say that more coins of those that are still alive will disappear during the upcoming years as they are replaced by new projects.

And second, those are only the coins listed on CoinGecko, so all the coins that were not listed there are not being taken into consideration, and it is safe to assume that if a coin could not even get listed there then its quality was quite inferior to the coins which could get listed and it should have disappeared already.
I agree, at least 90%+ of them died, the reality is that we are just talking about the ones with some name and some cap, there are so many that died right after they released as well, they just got the funding and left, which is why it is not really all that much of a big deal.

I get that people may overreact to it, but the reality is that we are not going to end up seeing any big number with the sustained ones, it is so easy to make a token and this is why many people try to start their own and get rich for it, and fail. It's such an easy thought to say "maybe we should start a new token, people will fund us, and we will be rich!" it takes 10 minutes to create a token, so it is not really something that would not be all that easy.
The world is filled with tokens, this forum if you check the altcoin section is filled with altcoins that are dead, it's basically a graveyard of tokens. The only thing that could help everyone here is the fact that we would not be really doing anything that would be acceptable for the long term if we invest into something small, and yet could make some return if we could end up with short term trading.

If you buy something that looks too dangerous then it may still make you money within a week, we have no proof of that but it also doesn't mean that it won't happen neither, that is why it is so important. We need to be careful about it no matter what. Short term traders, even launchpad investors, could make money from anything.
250  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The best decision you can take on: February 11, 2024, 09:14:32 AM
Trading is one thing where a small mistake can cost you all your money. If you trade without certainty in that place, you are most likely to lose your money. We should always be sure and then trade. Opportunities will definitely come in the market, it is not that the market will never come and we have to trade with uncertainty. There will definitely be an opportunity in the market, either now or later. But we always have to be sure and then trade.
Well, if you can't learn from that small mistake, you are definitely going to end up like that. Another thing is when you trade in full amounts. Trading is a mental game so indeed that we need a certainty or clarity in order for us to trade effectively. Despite doing an analysis, we still can't accurately predict the market but it's important to be sure or confident about your decisions so that you won't or you will only regret less.

If there are doubts that we feel, the best decision that we can make is to not trade until we are ready. The trading markets doesn't sleep, so opportunities are always there but it's still up to us if how we are performing.
That's right, doubt is the profit killer and when you are in doubt you should stay away from all of this and just focus on what you could make from periods when you are sure. It's clear that we are going to make some money when we have trust in the market, that would make more sense.

I personally trade only when I think I am going to win, I have the trust in the situation and I trade based on that. Doesn't mean that you will make money each time that happens, of course that may not happen as well, but you need to be careful about it one way or another. I understand that trust could still lose, but doubt will definitely lose and trust would at least have a possibility that you could make some money eventually one way or another.
251  Economy / Speculation / Re: What to expect this bull run? on: February 10, 2024, 06:00:54 PM
Chill out not everything is about Bitcoin!

Yes Bitcoin has had a great 7 days, but a couple of my altcoins have had much better month, one of them giving me over a 12x in 2 weeks.

I plan to be in altcoins this bull run, and then once I have made my profits then put a lot of it into Bitcoin in the next bear market in 2026.
Yes it is good that the altcoin you chose has a big gain for two weeks but here it seems that you expected a bitcoin increase but did not have it and maybe your expectation was that bitcoin would rise altcoins would rise, but for me not all altcoins will rise at the same time.

Not necessarily bitcoin in 2026 will be bearish although you must have seen from previous history after bullish comes bearish, but remember when bearish comes I predict the price of bitcoin will not be as low as before but you will still buy bitcoin at a high price.
Honestly, when we are not entirely sure what's going to happen, it's usually not something that would make sense, so we should be careful about what we are doing and not really go overboard with it. I get that sometimes we could get lucky, but just because we got lucky once doesn't mean that we are going to get lucky all the time, so we should be careful about what we do and that's the most important part.

I understand that life is not easy and it takes a while for people to get there, but as long as we are careful, we should be fine. I believe that the best we could do would be just focusing on how to make money where everyone else does and not just throw our rod in the ocean and hope for the best. It would be risky to be not careful in this market.
252  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to manage gambling winnings on: February 10, 2024, 05:23:04 PM
I also try to save some of my winnings. I don't make those savings regularly but try to put some away from the big wins actually. Because I know that nothing is certain in gambling. If I can save some money then I will get support there in times of need. Moreover, a bettor must have such a financial system that he can get money from it regularly. If a gambler does not use his winnings properly then he will never be able to gamble long term. Those who wish to gamble continuously for a long period of time must ensure proper use of winnings.
It is recommended to set aside some of the big winnings and there is no definite amount that we can take because it will depend on each person and how much winnings we get. By setting aside part of the winnings, we can get additional money that we can use for other things to increase the allocation of money for daily needs. A wise gambler always does that when he manages to win a big win to have more money from gambling. By managing our winnings well, we no longer need to take money from our income because that can be enough money that we need to gamble another day to have money saved that is useful for the future.
This is the right way to go, there is really nothing that we could do to with the extra money right away that would not make us lose it all. So, the smart way would be just making sure that we put that aside for our future gambling, and depending on the amount maybe even just put it aside for something totally different. I get that it is going to be a tough thing, but at the end we have done something wonderful with winning, so why risk it further by doing something that would not be all that crazy.

Just focus on what you could do, and in return we could end up with a good way of making profit. So all in all, I think we should probably cause something that would not be all that easy, it has to be something that will go beyond temptation.
253  Economy / Economics / Re: China's economy is very sick. What to prepare for? on: February 10, 2024, 02:15:06 PM
This week, by order of the country's leadership, all Chinese media were PROHIBITED from publishing any negative information about the state of the stock market.
The reason is banal - this week, the Chinese stock market lost as much as 6% (!!!!). Along with these data, many other economic indicators of the Chinese economy were suppressed or distorted.
As I understand it, the next step is to write across all media about the indescribable growth and recovery of the Chinese economy, thanks to the wise reign of our dear comrade Shinjipin...

PS I was studying information about the Chinese economy - the question is, can anyone confirm or refute (with arguments, of course), the information that the real estate sector (in its entirety) accounts for about 30% of the entire Chinese economy?
Honestly, when you are doing business with a nation that has dictatorship, you do not really look at the data and think that it is real. Even the 6% drop is probably not that much, it is probably more, so they are banning the news about the fake news that they created.

However, it also makes a lot of companies love them for it, because it is a dictatorship, Nike or whatever American company like Apple or something ends up paying peanuts, USA likes to hate on China for communist and dictatorship reasons (I do too) but then they turn around and move all their manufacturing there to make shoes for a dollar and sell them for hundred bucks back at USA, not like that is actually a smart move politically if anything goes wrong with them.
254  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency impact on Economy on: February 10, 2024, 03:29:47 AM
What do you mean by solve poverty? I bet you don't know the total number of poor people worldwide and you don't know how many of them that aren't expose to the internet. To make money from cryptocurrency, you first need to understand the internet and then you also need to understand how to read and write and also how to comprehend, many poor number of people don't have the things I made mention. The world is still poor but we can all agree that availability of cryptocurrency has help many have a ways to earn money without depending on anyone.

Trading is one of the acute aspect the cryptocurrency has provided for many people, you just need to understand how it work and what to use to start which is money. If you are an experienced trader, between yesterday and today, Bitcoin has make a move of 10% in the last 24 hours, playing with such swings can get you an average of 50% which is better than even saving the money in the bank, you can earn more if it were altcoins. This is what crypto gives that the government can't give to people.
The thing is that, the world COULD provide all for everyone, it is not really about internet or anything like that, it's about wanting equality for real or not. Just sit down for a second, and consider, could we provide housing, clean water, food and education also even healthcare to EVERYONE in the world with the riches we have right now in the world? I can tell you, we can, it's there, it can be done. Why are we not doing it then?

Because we do not want equality, not in that sense, we want people with their private jets because they made a great company, we want people to have their own warehouses with twenty thousand workers, because they grew their company. We don't want equality, we don't want internet or smart phone at every hand, we want the possibility of being rich beyond our needs.
255  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investing in meme coins is worthy or not? on: February 09, 2024, 12:22:06 PM
Many people lost money on the meme coins.
And that is because they're following the crowd and the hype that's about to be gone to soon. The FOMO is real with them and that's why if you're too late on it, you better stop hoping for big gains on it.

They are popular but many meme coins are only used for speculations and different market manipulations.
The manipulation is there and that's making people FOMO investing into these meme coins and there's really not that much gain with them when they've missed the train.
FOMO makes sense when we are talking about bitcoin or even ethereum, the good coins that has been around for a long time. However, when we see that for something like a memecoin then suddenly that becomes a weird thing to see.

Nobody will "miss out" on some meme project, sure there could be a period when a meme project ends up with something high, and you will be upset that you did not invest into it, but the reality is that we are not going to make that much money from that to begin with, so we should not really be upset that we are not really all that much troubled when we miss our chances since if we invested we could have very well be doing something that would not be all that smart to handle and lose a lot of money too.
256  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will government recognition kill cryptocurrency or boost! on: February 09, 2024, 08:06:23 AM
Will definitely boost but it will kill the retail investors or even the possibility of the prices going back to cheaper prices, with a lot of government adopting crypto, there's a high chance that they're going to inject a lot of money on it to make sure that they're investment are going to worth it and they would make sure to pump it continuously for as long as they can because they want to make sure that they're not going to be affected by the volatility thus ends up with the crypto that's going to be adopted by the country to not go lower at such a drastic level.
The reality is that there are way too many people who are looking for a proper regulation whereas there aren't same amount of people who would be willing to completely pull out of crypto world if they do. I mean if you are the type of person, who hates government, would you just move to monero or something like that when that happens or would you just move to banks?

I mean banks are already bad, so you will be either pure cash or just crypto. Whereas there are so many people who want more and more regulations before they join. One of the reasons why ETF is being expected so much as well, because that will make things better. That has to be one of the most important parts of the crypto world, it only gets better and better.
257  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Less than 80 days until the 4th Ever #Bitcoin Halving on: February 07, 2024, 02:11:02 PM
There is a huge expectation of halving, people are indeed having some gasp and history recall which makes them think this would be the beginning of another bull season. Glad we are optimistic but the question is if we fill our bag already or just still waiting after the halving.

Well, the impact of halving is quite remarkable, the increase in prices is really what we see. But, based on the previous ATH, it never comes right after halving, it takes several months to see results. Maybe I was wrong but I was expecting to see the new ATH next year, exactly following the 4-years cycle in the history of the market.
Many users simply lay low and continue to accumulate Bitcoin while there is such an opportunity, it is better to do this now in silence. Closer to the haliving itself, I think there will be a strong news background in the popular media, which will give the main impetus for mass purchases and, accordingly, there will be a new influx of traders in the market. About two weeks before the halving itself, there will be more and more mentions in the media as this will be a trend.
That is the logical thing and I think it really matters. I think it's quite important to realize that we are going to end up with a good return one way or another, and should be the only important thing. I get that it is not going to be easy to accumulate without noise if you are rich, or even if you are poor but millions of you doing it, but when it is under the limit and only increase the price a bit, then sellers will cover the difference.

Trading is both buying and selling, so you just need to check the difference and cover that, maybe a bit more, and it doesn't skyrocket. I think the price will skyrocket after the halving, not right next day, but end of 2024 and start of 2025 should be quite big and will be big increase.
258  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Premier League 2023/2024 Discussion Thread ⚽ on: February 06, 2024, 08:14:36 PM
In fact, Liverpool's game was optimal and several times threatened Arsenal's defense. However, fatal mistakes made by Alisson and Van Dijk changed everything. Not to mention, when Liverpool wanted to catch up, they lost one player because of the red card received by Ibrahima Konaté. Now the Premier League competition is getting tighter because the points gap between Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City is very thin. Not to mention, Manchester City still has two matches left to play. If Manchester City can win these two matches, Manchester City will be at the top of the standings with 1 point ahead of Liverpool.
Talking about Ibrahima Konaté getting a red card is considered a bad mistake for me it's not a mistake because even if Ibrahima Konaté didn't get a red card Arsenal would still be ahead with a score of 2-1 only after Ibrahima Konaté got a red card after that the defense was very weak and conceded again in the last minute.
I know that Alisson and Van Dijk were in the spotlight which was thought to be the cause of the mistake but it happened accidentally and they tried to secure the goal but it ended very badly.
Currently, Manchester City and Arsenal have the same points and only have a difference of 2 points from Liverpool and it is not surprising that the Premier League has become very competitive because several clubs have taken turns being in first place in the points table.

If there are no problems that will happen again, it looks like Manchester City will take first place again and Liverpool will only compete to be in second place and compete with Arsenal.
I do agree that putting all the blame on VVD and Alison doesn't make sense, the game is not played with 2 people, it's played with 11, and no other player looked good out there, including VVD and Alison of course, they didn't look good neither, but they weren't the only ones, so it is not really a bad situation. I think it has to be something that needs to change, and I feel like it may take some time for them to recover from this emotionally but with Salah coming back, they should be doing better eventually as well.

I believe that they are going to do fine, they just need to focus on what they could do better, and for that to happen they need to look back and watch the game tape and see what went wrong and fix those, or realize their mistakes.

I became worried and found it difficult to answer after my friend asked me scary and ridiculous questions about Bitcoin ownership.
he asked. If friends, new acquaintances, or other people find out that you have a sizable amount of Bitcoin, and you don't tell them. Then you are kidnapped with several people covering their faces, with the aim of getting your wallet address with the risk that if you don't give it you will be killed.
And another reason, you have given your wallet address to members you trust, such as family members or your wife and children.

And I want to know, what are you going to do.
Aren't you going to give the bad guy your wallet address, and you let him get killed. However, your Bitcoins remain safe because you have given your wallet address to someone you trust.
Or you will give it away because you still want to live, and you don't have any more Bitcoins.

And it was just a casual conversation with a friend of mine who both owns Bitcoin, and I was just wondering what other people's answers to this dreaded question made me want to create a thread.
This is where you will learn how important privacy is, the kind that you don't let even small details know or don't give out a hint that you have a bitcoin holding, especially on social media, because there are many people behind the accounts who are spying in the actions and movements of people on their accounts. Let's go back to your question OP, if I'm in the situation and my life is at stake, I still can't decide whether to fight or just let the kidnappers get my wallet add...I don't know what to do either but maybe the initial action I will take is to give the wallet add though I don't have much bitcoin on that wallet. My life is more important to me because I know that the money will come back to me in a triple amount of what I lose.
It is such a weird feeling to me that people would go around telling people that they have money. I mean don't get me wrong I am not rich so I can't understand, if one day I become rich maybe I would understand why rich people say they are rich.

However, if you ask me right now as not a rich person, if I ever got rich then I would not tell anyone ever, it would be impossible for anyone to figure out I am rich, not even my spouse, I would live a great life with them, they would know that we are not poor, and I would just pay for stuff, but not crazy stuff, telling your wife that you can afford that 800 dollar phone, is not the same as telling her you have 2 million dollars, if you tell her you can get the phone then you get the phone, but if you tell her you have money, it's all gone in a year. So, always be careful.

Just like in an online investment, there is also risk associated with a physical business which may be higher. For example the risk of fire, flood, other natural disasters. There's also the risk of theft, the risk of the governments demolishing your physical store. When compare to online business whose risk is not highly place. If you build your online business store to have the lastest and best security then you can even take of it. You can take your business all over the world any time any day but not so with the physical business.
It is difficult to concentrate your entire business on the Internet, if you are engaged only in sales and do not sell your own goods, and you do not need a warehouse to store goods, then this is possible, but if you are a manufacturer, or buy goods in bulk, then you will not be able to limit yourself to just an online store . Online business has now become a very convenient tool for sales and it can definitely save a lot of money if you can eliminate the cost of rent and other associated costs. There are probably service companies that do not require office space and will receive the best benefits in this case.
I have a friend who does that, she doesn't hold any inventory at all, she is just a middleman basically, but she sells it like it's her own product. The place she had a deal with, agreed to put on her brand as well, so a company manufactures products, put on her brand and ships wherever she wants. All she has to do, is have a website, sell some stuff, and if she does sell something, she gets paid, then at the end of every month, pays the company who actually does the products.

This way, she makes a cut, and looks like it's her own product that way, meaning if she ever decides to change manufacturer, she could do that and just tell the new one to use her brand. That is the way you grow without spending much capital to start.
