Inflation and investment

[Falconer]

The government has now imposed an 8% increase in salary, we'll see how that plays out, not big of a deal to be honest.

I've never heard talk of a pay rise during inflation (especially in my country) and that has escalated financial problems everywhere. But hopefully the government will also think of this as a solution.

Of course there is no guarantee when you do not have good assets in your portfolio because price volatility will continue to affect the size of the profits you will get in the long term. There are risks you should consider for each of your investment assets even if they are not cryptocurrencies. You should know how to store your assets safely so that you can benefit from them in the future.

Every investment that makes us use real money, there will be risks that we bear. Even investing outside this platform (cryptocurrency) also has risks and every investor should of course be sensitive about that before doing so.

If investment can help us to manage our finances well during inflation then we should really do it carefully and wisely. We should not be greedy regardless of any risk especially during this time crypto volatility can increase at any time.

You save for a long time, say 10 years. Inflation that occurs is very pronounced, as you said the price of goods will be much higher than the nominal you bought first. The only solution to avoid inflation is to invest in crypto, invest not only by making a deposit, without having any knowledge of crypto usage. When we choose crypto as a place to save, then the risk will definitely come. But if we can already use crypto and have skills in long-term and short-term investments, I think this is the best choice.

The most priority is the stability of money in and out. Investment is what we no longer use for now. This means that we have set aside which ones are emergency needs and which ones are needed to pay daily bills. Talking about inflation, we cannot avoid it, when a country's economy is in chaos and consumption materials are getting more expensive, then we must have more money. Some people who keep money in the bank or deposited at home, it may be very pronounced. Because to spend their currency value will be much higher. In my opinion, if we save money that is not used for now, it will be more convenient for us to invest. Because this is to prevent inflation and can also provide benefits for us.

Inflation will continue to occur, even countries with the strongest economic power of the world, the current USA and a few years before are also affected by inflation, this certainly makes us have to think smartly by investing, with investment, we can reduce or even prevent the impact of inflation, of course if we get profit.

Countries with strong economies have less inflation than other countries. But you are right that in general, the whole world is subject to inflation. This is due to the existing monetary and financial model and therefore, inflation will always be (if don't change the economic model around the world). In principle, there is an alternative and has existed for more than 10 year. I'm talking about BTC. At the moment, humanity has not come up with anything better to fight inflation. So it turns out that investing in BTC will reduce or get rid of inflation.

The best way to deal with inflation is by investing, as we know that with investment we have the opportunity to profit, especially if you put money in crypto which has the opportunity to profit up to hundreds of percent in a year or even less.

[darewaller]

Using crypto just so you could make apr of it based on inflation is a good idea, but even when there is no inflation or low inflation, crypto is greater because of the tech behind it. Remember, when there was no inflation, we still managed to do well, in 2017 what was the world going through? Did we have any wars? Any pandemic? Anything bad globally? We didn't have any of that and we still managed to break ATH and reach 20k during that period.

So, with or without any global danger, crypto is still great, with or without high inflation crypto is still great. No matter what happens in the world, good or bad, we should still stick with crypto to make the most out of our money.

Not really, quite a few countries have increased the minimum wage due to the increased inflation. Spain for instance, increased the minimum wage to 1000 euros. Our minimum wage is currently at 663 euros (before tax) and from first of May, it will increase to 713 euros, certainly not lifesaving. However, I'm not sure if that's the ideal approach to battle inflation, since the higher wages could also be passed to increased prices of goods. Is it better than nothing? I guess so, but still, there are plenty of loopholes for employers to bypass the increase and continue giving the same salary.

inflation from investment, it can be said that bitcoin has been very popular from the past, now even whenever, so actually bitcoin is not at all affected by anything, bitcoin will not collapse even though it is hated by any party, even though many investors turn to bitcoin when it happens inflation russia ukraine, and the government is aiming at bitcoin to avoid sanctions, but all of that is not the reason people turn to bitcoin investments, because bitcoin has developed long before this war occurred, people invest in bitcoin because the opportunities they get are very good, safe and reliable.

to solve high inflation in our money, having investment was good choice to save its value. our fiat money will have less value when every goods in daily needs rise alot and it happen today due many factors. keep in bank will not safe its value, use it to buy assets that constantly increase year by year will give alot benefits for us. good money management will allocate for saving, daily  bill, urgent needs and investment. if we could allocate our fund for investment much bigger than other , our money could growth alot in several years later.

Actually, things like this must also be seen from various perspectives.
We know that investing is a pretty good thing but it depends on people's thinking if the choice is crypto because not everyone likes that.
Moreover, Crypto is one type of investment that is quite safe because it still has a lot of risk there.
We should not only think of the advantages in this case but we should also think of the worst there. even though Crypto is something that is quite good but indeed many beginners sometimes feel cheated because talking Crypto is a good thing because indeed they still don't know how crypto works but are lured by something instant with the word Profit which in the end makes these beginners lose and feel cheated

That's why I say anyone interested in investing in crypto should be wise enough and should not be greedy while doing so. This investment has the aim of making a profit, but we should not ignore the risk of loss caused by volatility. So it is clear that as long as the investment is potentially profitable, there is also a risk of loss in it. Most importantly beginners should know that.

[Captain Corporate]

The risk of loss due to volatility happens if you sell, if you hold then it is not a problem at all. Remember that crypto is a long term project and it allows people to make profits that they can't make anywhere else in the long run. Look at bitcoin in a few years' spans and it's almost always profitable. This is why I believe that volatility is not an issue for me, I do not care how it goes up and down in the short term, when I look at the 10 years into the future I see it as a great deal, which is an awesome investment reason. Inflation will keep going worse and worse whereas crypto will only go up. Obviously there will be some horrible investments but at the end of the day the top ones will always survive.

If investment was for those who have enough to spare many will not have gotten to where the are. Investment is a game of sacrifice. Depriving one's self of present pleasure to gain a more comfortable lifestyle in future. Inflation is one thing that can't be avoided completely but one can avoid been trapped by the hike in commodity that comes with it. Investing even when not convenient is one way to securing the future. Inflation favours investors

The problem is that at this time there are so many people who invite beginners with the lure of continuous profits, it is quite true if this can be profitable but when it is not accompanied by methods or knowledge then this will indeed be very difficult.

Newbies are sometimes too naive because they still don't understand the ins and outs of crypto and irresponsible people sometimes take advantage of it for their own benefit.

Beginners will indeed be easily tempted by offering continuous benefits because their knowledge is still limited,
advice for beginners is better they need to learn a lot of things and keep improving their knowledge and skills

The pressnt inflation should not be discouraging factor and therefore be a holdback for making investment. This period seem to be a raining season to almost all investors , though the economy is tough and bitting hard on people,  it's equally the best time we should invest a little percentage of our income and take advantage of some declining digital asset and other asset class that is currently plummeting in price and wait for sunny day.

It's indeed a challenging season for those people who want to invest due to rising rate of inflation each year and sometimes, the speed of increase is even beyond normal which is really alarming to those who want to establish a business, investment and the likes. And even more to the working classes who are just trying to get by. However, like what you said, it shouldn't be a hindrance to let us strive for more. Inflation is normal as long as it's within the usual rate, and even if it will go beyond that range, we should still manage to secure some for the future if we are privileged enough to be able to do it.

Investing in things which are lesser prone to inflation will be the best option to avoid devaluation of assets. So if you can invest in digital assests and in physical assets that are proven to appreciate over time, do yourself a favor and invest in it despite the inflation. That way, you will secure yourself or your family assets that will be helpful to you when things go haywire.

[Kadal Ijo]

Never think that with our current salary and income will be safe for the future, many unexpected things are especially inflation that always occurs every year and can even reach 2 digits or 2x from economic growth.

Beginner investors do have to be careful with fantastic offers from various marketing which can make money in a fast time. not a few beginners are lulled to become members with evidence of this kind of practice still happening, many of them hang around on twitter as I read earlier they offer an investment of $ 500 with a return of $ 2k within 3 days, of course this is very odd if we understand

It’s a normal thing and most beginners do pass through it. I also experienced such thing (lost a little amount) but it was once. And I would say that my experience helped me to become really smart these days. It kind of changed the way I do things. But, the advice I do give to beginners is that they should make sure that they do their research, and also ask questions from those who have been more experienced than them.

This is really important because if you do your research and ask questions to learn, you would probably learn from the experience of others who have been there before you, and if there is any mistake that they have made in the past, you will be able to avoid making such a mistake because you have learnt from them.

[Falconer]

Thank you for all your feedback in this thread, it should be no matter how small your input and opinion can be useful and a good consideration for me and other users to continue to think positively about financial growth during soaring inflation. We can't expect much, but we have to move forward to do something good for the future. So investing is still something important regardless of how well we are able to do it, it shouldn't be too much of a hassle as long as all needs are met but for sure nothing should stay consistent with the percentage when the need for money is greater than the amount of money we can invest.
