Beyond afford to lose why our small investments really matters ...........

[Donk1]

Greetings folks I decided to write on this topic based on one of my previolus replies on my local board because for me I think most people folks are still missing some few things I will like to talk about today on this topic.
Basicaly   many investors are misunderstandiing the advice "only invest what you can afford to lose." This saying doesn't mean you should  place little value on smaller investments and feel it is not a big deal if you lose it. But what it means is that every single investment big or small matters very well and that is why we have to be cautious about them Because if you feel the investment is small and just place little value on it it's just like you are gambling. Basically it will become a habit and one day when you sum up all the multipre small and careless investments  you will see it has become a   significantly big amount of money.

Small investments and strategy thinking

The truth is we see smaller investments as a learning opportunity to know how to invest bigger amounts which helps us stay disciplined. Yes that Is true but my fellow bitcoin talkers the secret to investing starts from our ability to evaluate the problem and bring out the solution, not evaluating the problem with just half of the solution. The idea is not about gamblilng  on what we can afford to lose but it's about calculating the risk we can afford to take with a well thought out strategy and with a good  reasonable mind. Knowing that the market goes up and down is good but remembering that true wealth is built over time, not overnight.
Lastly we must know that small gains from small investments mean great achievement and every avoided loss helps us grow a bigger financial goal, because we build our portfolio little  by little with good intentions and care. It all depends on how we view every investment regardless of the amount we invest.
Thanks for your time folks...................

The post is a great one and yes every dime matters as long as investment and business is concerned especially for wealthy people and I think the difference between the wealthy and the poor in terms of business is that, the rich takes account of every dime spent in business and investment even from the first stage regardless of the amount invested while the poor thinks small amount investment are test ground for bigger investment amounts and I agree with you that, when we keep losing small amounts on investments trying to pave way for bigger amounts without a proper calculated risk, then we end up losing money and when compounded, we might be surprised at the amount already lost.

You might not be correct in the whole contexts but I understand your point.
Investing with what you can affordable to loose dogo actually mean you should invest little with little amount. It's just a statement that have to remind you about the risks of the markets volatility and as a human whose expectations fails against your confident, there'll be a room for you to keeping going without a weigh down emotional and your striving to achieve your financial obligations.You can call it an adage or advice from experience users in the bitcoin market.
And to make it clearer, your investment approaches which may be determined by your capital or accumulating plans determines your incomes depending on when you want to opt out. So it's right to invest with any amoun as long it can be tolerated. The risks is always yours based on affordability.

many investors are misunderstandiing the advice "only invest what you can afford to lose."

This simply means that you shouldn't invest with money for your important needs or basic needs, rather, you should only invest with the extra cash i.e your discretionary income to enable to hodli for long and wouldn't give a fuck if the price dips or if you don't make profits in the long run.

When you invest with caution since you know that bitcoin is a volatile asset and profit is not a guarantee in future, you will not only focus on investing in bitcoin, you will also try to diversify into other assets like bond, shares, equity and cash equavilents.

The concept of investing what you can afford to loose has been long talked about that it's associated with with coins thar lacks real certainty of it long term potential. Because of that, it's adviced that one invest with what he can afford to lose. For a bitcoin that earns investors profit by virtue of how much coin the investors holds, the idea of investing what one can afford to lose is no longer necessary because with that mentality, it's going to be rather deficult to push for a robust investment.

Bitcoin and everything in the crypto space are all volatile but the degree of volatility varies. For the ones that are extremely volatile, a DIP can easily result to a complete loss and if the invested amount is much, it can tell a lot on the investor. That's the reason why investors are advised to invest what they can afford to lose so regardless of what happens, they can manage to deal with the outcome be it good or bad.

Big or small capital, it is not important thing to consider. What is more or most important is whether you already thought of and actually assigned your money for spending fund and emergency fund. If you have money for these two fund parts, what you send for investment capital and your investment will become more easily as you will actually "afford to lose it all" because your finance will still be good after that complete loss.

It is implied meaning of "Invest what you can afford to lose."

Your statement is a little bit confusing though, with the explanation you gave in the first paragraph I think you're the one missing the whole thing here, the word invest with what you can afford to lose means that we should find a suitable amount that can fit our weekly or monthly routine buying of bitcoin so that to ease the pressure and also prevent us from panic, because I noticed that the reason why most Investors get  panic during the dip is due to the fact that the amount they invested into bitcoin is 1 to 2x thier monthly income so whenever there's a decline in the market they always feel pressured, while some people can still be discipline enough to withstand the pressure without making wrong decision, but when you invest with what you can afford the pressure will still be there but can't be compared to those that is Investing in bulk or in lump.

 okay i think that general statement that says <<only invest what you can afford to lose>> is becoming to over used lately becuase it simply does not mean people should avoid investing, it just means they should not risk money needed for food, bills or other important things. using extra income makes it easier to hold through market ups and downs without having to panic. also putting all your money into one asset is risky!!! so it is smart to spread investments across bitcoin, stocks, bonds or even cash savings i mmean there are a lot of trusthworthy ones lately with good testimonies from people. at least that way even if one market struggles you still have other options to fall back on.

''Investing with what you can afford to lose'' do not really mean investing very little amount but it means an amount that won't bother you if you lose it and it comes from your discretionary income, and everyone has their level of discretion. Someone can have 1 million as a discretionary income while another person can have 10,000 as his discretionary income but you might be thinking that the person that is investing 1 million is not investing an amount he can afford to lose but that is not true because your basic income determines how huge discretionary income. If your basic income is 100,000 you can comfortably invest 1000 which you can afford to lose. No investment is small; everyone is just investing at the level of their own discretion. Just that those who invest very huge amount from their discretionary income has advantage of big proceeds over those with low amount. Let's take for instance, someone who bought 1 bitcoin and someone that bought $50k worth of bitcoins cannot expect same return on their investment.

I noticed that the reason why most Investors get  panic during the dip is due to the fact that the amount they invested into bitcoin is 1 to 2x thier monthly income so whenever there's a decline in the market they always feel pressured, while some people can still be discipline enough to withstand the pressure without making wrong decision, but when you invest with what you can afford the pressure will still be there but can't be compared to those that is Investing in bulk or in lump.

I should believe you have said more than enough mate, investing with what you can affordable to loose is a remark that earlier informs beginners who are only interested on investing in Bitcoin with a wholehearted of getting rich in the very close time and also instigates risk management.

It is cordially a reminder that the market is risky so you must treat it with caution and invest what you can affordably let go without getting to panic when the uncertainty revolves against your expectations.
Also, so that you don't have to be left stranded when emergency needs arises as a result that you have used all your income to invest without considering savings for emergency needs in the short time.

So is basically to emit investors pressures when price falls or during emergency needs.

I really don't think anyone will invest in a business without the hope or intention to make profit, so it doesn't matter if it's a small  or big investment,  the truth is that you want to make profit from your investment. That's why in investment unlike gambling you have to take calculated risk.
It's true that some people feel that small investment are for testing while hoping to start big when they have big money,  but like you said if you calculated the money you have invested in your small investments,  you will be surprised how much you have lost. So in my opinion I think every investment should be taking seriously, with the intention of making profits.

[Nathrixxx]

It does not make sense whereby you have to lose before you can learn, this shows that we have a lot to do and out in place ensuring that we are well prepared for it before the start, that is why we have airdrops, faucets and any other demo accounts to use for learning at no cost to us, but when you get into the proper market, you can't afford to even lose a penny for any reason, because you will be accounted for all you made or lose and this goes a long way to helping you sustain into crypto or not, which means, we don't have to learn the hard way before knowing the right thing.

It's true that some people feel that small investment are for testing while hoping to start big when they have big money,  but like you said if you calculated the money you have invested in your small investments,  you will be surprised how much you have lost.

I beg to differ. Small investments shouldn’t always be viewed as just a form of testing. While some people may want to use them as  experiment, for those with limited capital, like small investments I feel they carry real weight. Approaching it with a casual mindset could mean missing opportunities for growth and discipline.

Investing what you can afford to lose. I believe this is a word of advice for beginners who are just getting to know about investment. The essence of this advice is that it is very common for beginners to go into an investment aggressively without fully understanding it and what the market is like.

They often invest more or even all they have, and most times beginners give up because of price declines in the market, thinking it is the end of the investment, which leads them to sell at a loss. So this serves as a guide for beginners to invest gradually, and as knowledge and experience are gained, there won't be risks in increasing the investment due to the understanding one already has.

Investing amounts you can afford to to lose doesn't necessarily mean you would lose the money. It's just a narration to buttress the importance of investing with amounts that would not affect your living condition in the event Bitcoin performs below expectation since there's no guarantee on your investment. Bitcoin is an investment and not gambling, even while investing amounts that you can afford to loose, you aren't gambling with the funds since you're putting up measures to secure your financial future every time you invest into Bitcoin.

Furthermore, it's important that you don't put yourself in financial pressure just to invest into Bitcoin. That's why you must first identify that you've discretionary income first before going ahead to invest into Bitcoin.

To be frankly speaking, for the fact that people invest an amount they can conveniently afford to lose, doesn't mean they place little or no value to that very Bitcoin investment. Because judging by how volatile the price value of Bitcoin is, that was the exact reason why people came up with that phrase for people not to invest all their money in Bitcoin, when they aren't ready or willing to lose a percentage of that exact amount, due to it's volatile nature. Example, assume a scenario whereby you were given a Church tithe worth $1000, to hold, and you went further to invest it in Bitcoin, and only the market depreciate and the value of the money reduced to $700 due to it's market volatility. And the church comes asking for their $1000?... What will you do???... Because that's a perfect example why you shouldn't invest all the money you have, but rather a percentage of what you can always afford to lose.

[TastyChillySauce00]

I always consider the saying of only invest what you can afford to lose as just a small gesture to let you know that market gonna be bumpy and you better be investing money that won't make you stressing whenever there's sudden dump and causes you to panic sell.

Just because you can afford to lose the money doesn't mean you can just throw away money into the most random investment. You still need to have your own due diligence and invest responsibly.

[cryptoaddictchie]

Its your own opinion could be right or wrong. Too many people twist “only invest what you can afford to lose” into a careless excuse instead of treating it as a principle of discipline. Even the so called small investments build a habit that either careless gambling or thoughtful strategy. Like you mentioned, wealth isnt about overnight wins, but a consistency, risk management, and respecting every dollar you put in.

[Awaklara]

It all depends on how we view every investment regardless of the amount we invest.

Investment is related to your financial management, regardless of how small or large the amount you allocate for investment, you must know the exact figure. If your finances are still insufficient to meet your living needs, it's better not to think about investing for now. Instead, think about how to increase your income.

It is important for everyone to learn financial management. Without good financial management, there may be people who invest excess money. It may not be felt in the near term, but when suddenly a large amount of money is needed, it could disrupt the investments that have been built.

Beyond afford to lose why our small investments really matters.

I think you misinterpret crypto and crypto trading investment, as far as I know the nature of investment in investing in capital for a crypto asset in a certain period of time, Of course to get a profit where when the assets you invest in that time the value of the asset increases, of course the points below should not apply in investment.

"only invest what you can afford to lose."

Where the points above will apply where when you trade crypto assets in the market, with small capital trading or thinking about strategic and learning to losses during your crypto trade.

So, you have to separate investment and trade, do not stir into one, there are differences for both.
