Everything is an investment-change my mind

[avikz]

I constantly here people say " Only invest what you can afford to lose"  Well no matter where your wealth is it could crash.

-Invest in USD- USA could collapse and experience mass inflation making your dollars nearly worthless
-Invest in Bonds- Government could collapse making your bonds worthless
-Invest in real estate- Housing prices could crash, natural disaster could hit and insurance company could go bankrupt
-Invest in metals- prices could crash, asteroid mining could collapse prices

Your money is never 100% safe no matter where it is invested.

Absolutely true!! I would not defer from what you have said. However, that's the reason why we rely on the historical pattern before investing a large sum to any asset.

No investment is risk free but we are in pursuit to find less risky investment. Misfortune can struck anytime without prior notice but if the fear of loosing is holding you back from investment, that's also not right!! This way you will only loose out on opportunities!

Don't ever limit yourself, instead try to see the statistics and historical data before committing a large sum.

Yes, I coudnt agree more, wherever you put your investments it will never be safe, it will just be at lesser risk or at a greater risk, but I think it is better than having nothing to do at all, atleast you have something to look forward to, and you might even hit it big, just think about how much investment are you willing to do.

Investment is very risky, that's why its better to invest wisely and choose asset wisely because there are possibility you will get huge losses if you invest in not worth it investment. Beside nowaday we should be more very careful of choosing asset because there's a lot people encounter a huge losing money. Also its better if they are aware of the risk in investment, so I think investment is only for those who willing to do anything and take the risk.

Stability? There is no such.It all depends on something.Cryptocurrency is valuable because of consensus.

Thats why you shouldnt just throw your money away and call it and investment. You should study the market and learn when you should go in and out.

Every investment has a risk, it's just that the risk of each investment has a different value. maybe if investing in real estate will be less risky than investing in metals, and investing in metals will be less risky than investing in currencies. Everyone is free to invest if someone dares to take a risk. Of course, the greater the risk that is obtained, the greater the profits will be obtained.

Yes, everything is an investment but certain investments are riskier than others. I would say most people would think of crypto as riskier than lets say metal whose price may not crash overnight, although it can but its less likely to happen. When you're investing you're taking a risk regardless of where you put it or not put it.

[batang_bitcoin]

That's all the point. All types of investment has its own risk, we can simply apply the simple term "no pain, no gain".

And we will never see gain if we will not take the risk. Those who wants to invest but isn't willing to take the risk, you will fall for those scams that are guaranteeing you profits but you can't be sure on how long they are going to tell you sweet words about your gains until they're gone.

On investment world it doesn't really give out 100% safe of your money to gain profits and the fact even just your money is sitting out on a safe on your house do still have the tendency for it to be lost neither
it would be burned or being infested by rats etc. and talking your money is on the bank there still tendency that the bank would go bankrupt.So no matter which angle you would see there would always be the risk
and that's always been part of our lives.

every successful businessman must have overcome a bad thing, but they keep trying and getting up so that success approaches him. the need for this process requires a lot of experience

Investing is nothing more and nothing less than risk management at a fundamental level. Because life itself is risk and tradeoff daily.

Have you read the 'Friedman's Restatement of Quantity Theory'? In his theory, Friedman considered money as an asset. Like any other capital asset, people invest in money because it gives future benefits(temporary abodement of purchasing power) and returns(opportunity cost). So yes, if money itself is nothing more than a pure capital investment, every other commodity that could be bought with it is considered as capital asset provided that the commodity doesn't provide any utility because if it provides utility it no longer remains capital asset but turn to be consumer asset.

Now coming to whether every investment is risky. In short yes, your instinct is right. The definition of investment itself states that investment is taking risk to have return on value invested. But that doesn't mean whatever you purchase gonna put your money in risk. Here government comes into picture. In other words I am talking about 'Risk-free return'. Governments in every country issue Treasury Bills which have ROI as similar to Fixed Deposits or little more. Else, if you wanna make big, you should be ready to take risk, there's no point to argue that.

I do not think that a real investor will think this way. This is more like a paranoid investor where his/her trust could nowhere be found. So, if one always thinks this way then he/she could never be successful in the investment. All successful investors has gone ups and downs and some had almost give up but still trying and hoping and the result they end up became successful. Quitters never win and winners never Quit.

[Huskarls]

indeed, if we want to think logically, there is actually no stability in crypto, because crypto has been volatile since the beginning, and we admit that it is very difficult to eliminate, because in other problems, price manipulation and system shortages are still many gaps.

Therefore, the main rule of investment is diversification. Do not put all the eggs in one basket. If one asset falls in value, then the other should grow. Thus, the investor will always be in profit.

[candra raditya]

You are right, every investment has a risk but some people only see the benefits of investment without taking into account the risks.

I think the author is in solidarity with you. He tries to explain this to those who consider investing in cryptocurrency as a risky and useless thing. Of course, any investor knows what risks he is taking in whatever he invests.

[jacafbiz]

I do like all the points raised but there is a poison distribution in statistics and if you calculate the probability of Government defaulting on the bond payment, Earthquake happening in an area and precious metal prices tanking they are very low. NO risk, No reward and this is why I always for active managing your investment so as to adjust to the present reality

It's true money should work if you have it!
But if you have no money then why jump over your head, borrow from friends to take a Bank loan to invest in an unreliable business and lose.
You can never get the desired profit and only get solid debts.
Be careful when investing and do not take loans to invest in bitcoin - it can end badly.

That's the challenge, manage properly the investment along the way.

Yes money is not 100% safe but why we have a thing called "successful investments" ?

There's no easy money no matter how potential the investment is. If our mindset will just stick to the idea that everything is risky and bound to crash, then how can we advance? Of course choose an investment that is worth to take a risks. As we progress, our goal is to maintained it properly no matter what's the obstacles we may have go through. Patience, effort and hardwork must applied.

Focus on reaching the top. Take all the problems as challenges on getting there.
