Risks

[passwordnow]

Anything that has a potential to gain profit has its risk. That's why everything that physical and digital investments have their respective risk. You have to deal it on your own when it's very risky at all and that's the reason if you like digital assets, you need to take the risk and if not, you've got to learn how to accept and study it. But, if you don't like risk, you're good to save money without having any taking risk but it will just be consumed by the inflation and so, little risk is still risk if it's within the crypto market or even the others.

You're right: anything that can generate profits carries risks. Investing or trading certainly carries risks. However, these risks can be minimized depending on the type of person we're engaging in. With sufficient knowledge and experience, it's possible to minimize these risks.
Furthermore, these risks can provide us with lessons and serve as a basis for evaluation to prevent future mistakes.

So, learning from the risk that we take. It's either profit or a lesson. If that's the mindset, it's good for the trader. But if not, it's better not to take any risk at all because many of these traders are only encouraging others to trade without having the winning mentality. While the others are for the hype, they have to make the others remember that the risk never changes and it will only be if we're prepared and knowledgeable.

Those with a positive or wise mindset will learn from their experiences, but not those who consider the risk a burden. In any situation, we can learn from our experiences, but not everyone can do this because everyone has their own way of thinking.

Furthermore, I think quite a lot of people suffer from FOMO in this regard; they only focus on the benefits while not mentally prepared for the risks.

Judging the risk is half of the work, that's why most people fail at that level. You have to calculate the risk/reward ratio very carefully and if you do a good job then you are going to get what you want, but if you do a terrible job then you are not going to get what you need. Most of the time people make a mistake in that part and because they make a mistake, they end up with bad results as well.

For example, they risk too much for too little reward potential, but they do not calculate well, either the risk part or reward part, they either think a high risk is actually low, and make a mistake, or they think reward could be higher than what it will be. That is why they end up with bad results, and they need to do this better if they want to be a good trader.

When people talk about risk many quickly point to cryptocurrency and forex as the biggest risks anyone can take. However this mid-year August 2025 was a real eye opener. For example my wife invested a lot of time and money in beans this year but when the market crashed the losses were heavy. This shows that even physical investments can be just as risky if not more depending on the circumstances.

It's nothing that is shocking to know that people generally associate and exemplifies biggest forms of financial risks with cryptocurrency, a character that can be attributed to their ignorance about cryptocurrency. Armed with the right information and the know-how about a field reduces exposure to losses which is what people mostly don't know and why their castigation towards cryptocurrency. Physical businesses can be time and financial waste far reaching than cryptocurrency when due diligence is followed on crypto.

What you need to understand is that. Every business you know there is risk attach to it and whether you like it or not one day you must fall in victim of that risk, so the best thing is knowledges and how to manage the risk when it comes because risk is something you can not avoid they must be that risk just make sure you are k knowledgeable about where you are about to put your money into and for that you be will save.

Seriously, and you are right about this, because checking how risk and benefits in a business is what will make you venture into it. You are going to compare which one is more likely to happen in the business, because if you are scared or fear losing them, I can definitely say you are the one who is likely to easily lose your money in the long run, so why not just make sure you do some research and do the needful before getting into business?

Cryptocurrencies in particular are one of the few investment options that can bring in high returns in case one does it smartly or is lucky to get the right coin at the right time. So where there are high returns, there are high risks as well.
Anything that involves investing in money or some form of assets carries so risk. What varies is the degree of the risk. Less Risk, Less Reward. High risk, High reward...

I have personally seen farms lose lots of money in Agriculture due to things like bad Climate, Disease, Wild fires etc

Every sector of the economy comes with it own risks, cryptocurrency is considered one of the high risks investment, because of the level of volatilities in most cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and the rest of them, and this volatile nature is also the reason why Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency Assets are the most profitable so your are right, where there is high returns, the risk will definitely be higher.

Everything we do on this Earth comes with it own risk and that should make us to know what we are doing not taking risk anyhow when you supposed to take less risk so you don't end up with nothing. Whether you are investing in Bitcoin or altcoins market, you need to manage your risk so you don't end up with unexpected loses that attract more bad energies. Risks every invest need to take should have the potential of bringing 100X of profits as time goes on.

All trade and business sectors will have the same level of risk, even if someone says "business X actually has low risk." If you ignore the potential for small risks, they can ultimately be even worse than business Z which has high risk but is balanced by good management.

You cannot ignore risk --- especially in trading where even a small mistake in management can lead to huge losses.

In any sector or business, risk must be carefully considered so that the same mistakes are not repeated.
But trading is indeed full of risk especially in futures trading, where you take high risks in exchange for high returns.

There is no business or investment that doesn't have share it's own share of risk in it,Bitcoin is less riskier when talking about risk in cryptocurrency.

Yes there's no business that doesn't involve risks taking but risks is in different grades pending what you are venturing into. Bitcoin itself is risky but varies in some occasions probably when there's a price drop you'll always see panic sellers and then they go in loss. But we should be mindful in handling risks more usually involving funds.

Not learning from mistakes is another one as well. I understand that risk/reward ratio calculation and failing to calculate that properly is one of the biggest ones, but after they make a mistake and buy something that has high risk and low reward, then they should learn to do better.

Unfortunately there are so many who make that mistake and then keep doing the same mistake. A great example would be memecoin people, they invest, and they lose it all, and then they invest again, for what reason? Because they ended up with seeing some influencers or some stranger online make some huge returns on some silly shitcoin. Just because one in a million people got lucky, doesn't mean you should risk your money too. So learning from mistakes is a big one too.

Unfortunately, I had stupid coins and I held them like a fool. Over time the situation got so bad that I sold them at a huge loss. I was lucky not to lose all my capital but I lost a significant amount after picking the wrong coin and holding them. Later I calculated that if I had invested that amount in Bitcoin, I would have gained at least 40%. I decided to learn from my mistakes and invest in Bitcoin for the long term. Learning from my mistakes was a great thing for me and I got huge returns in a very short period of time but I am sticking to long-term Bitcoin accumulation instead of short-term trading. If I can go through two four year cycles of long term investment and holding, that will be impressive for me.

It's not only about cryptocurrency and Forex trading alone but anything that has to do with trading. There's no immunity against any form of trading, whether online or offline. Perhaps your wife didn't time the market season very well to know there's an off season for beans too. There's. Anybody in business has to know all these things that all won't be rosy at all times. Why people cry blood about losses in Forex is because there's already that pessimism with Forex trading being an alleged scam.

Everything that involves investing money has it's own risk be it investment in cryptocurrency, real estate and others...

Exactly the point I advanced above. The misconception is that people believe tangible goods can be stored even when prices crash below cost price. They don't know prices can crash and remain down for a long time and then the goods begin to spoil. Everything investment is about risk. We should get into investments we can bear their losses when they occur.

Life itself is a risks and I don't think we can actually do life without involving or risking anything.Life without risks knows no growth,risks is natural and the thing is not to avoid it but to balance the risks and manage it properly.Every decision you make carries risks but playing it too safe can feel comfortable,it often limits growth and fulfillment.
