Risk is good

[FNDITDN]

• Taking risks is not a bad thing. I think risky things should be chosen based on the level of risk. If it is more risky, then put it aside. And considering the risk that can be benefited or done correctly.
• I took a risk and bought Bitcoin with some of my savings in 2018, when it was worth around $14,000-17,000 USD. Now in 2026 it is worth $64,920.36 USD, (February 23, 2026, 04:10:49 AM).
If I was afraid to take risks, I would have been in that place before.
• Finally, I want to say one thing, it is good to take risks but what are you taking risks for, whether there is a possibility of profit if you take risks or not, taking risks is reasonable considering all aspects.
Do you agree with my writing?

You feel scared? That’s good because that’s what will make you grow. People are scared to take the next step whether that is to apply to another job or to start a business. But if you don’t take the step, you won’t progress. You’ll be stuck in the same position forever.

This doesn't happen for everyone in the same manner, some take risks without regretting ther actions while some take risks and still be scared.Whats really important in regards to risk taking is being able to grasping every steps as an opportunity to grow because when you don't make a move it seems you ain't making progress but then one should be mindful about their decisions on how they tend to take risks.

I think fear shouldn't be considered too extreme; we must do whatever we can to grow and never be afraid to take action. Taking risks is something that must be done if we want to move forward, but all of that should also be done with careful consideration because we can't just take risks recklessly without doing research first; that would be like gambling.

Fear cannot be exaggerated, rather we have to learn to deal with risk. Taking risks is essential in all aspects of life to move forward, because no great achievement is possible without risk, but yes, this is the most important thing that we have to take risks, but it has to be deliberate and research-based. When we take risks in the wrong place, then we are not likely to get any effective results from it, we can never be reckless. Rather, we have to learn to take risks in the right place through research, where we will have positive possibilities even if we take risks.

Fear arises from inexperience. You will not have the fear that you will be able to overcome the initial stage of investment. Buying the wrong coins (shitcoin) will increase the amount of fear because you will have the fear of losing your capital. To reduce the tension in investing, you need to choose the right place, for example, if you decide to accumulate Bitcoin considering its past analysis and important features the possibility of increasing the price in the future is very high. If you decide to accumulate Bitcoin through discretionary income, there is no need to take too much risk. Whenever you accumulate Bitcoin through discretionary income, it carries risk but the level of risk is much lower because you are accumulating Bitcoin with the remaining funds after spending for the family.

Without taking a risk there is no way you can achieve certain things but remember that a risk is always 50/50, there is a chance that things might not go according to plan, that's the more reason why you must always take calculated risks. Taking risks isn't really a bad thing but when it's not done responsibly it can actually be a problem. some people have lost valuable amounts of money because they took uncalculated risks.

Taking risk to what you think crn be achievable is good but no one should take risk without being aware of the negative outcomes that will occur if the result of the risk doesn't go well as expected. A calculated risk taker doesn't just take risk in everything they go for what they think they can get, try to make sure they put much effort then if it doesn't work out for them they will know that they tried there best. Do not take risk of any kind if you have to invest in anything but if it's for something you know that you can benefit from the taking the risk is worth it.

As long as they are still willing to learn about their losses from taking risks that they have done, I don't think it will be a problem, at least for their future to try the same thing again because they already know what their mistake was, in taking one risk the possibility of success is also very small because we don't know what will happen, but after trying again and again we will understand where our mistakes are in taking risks, why we fail and that can lead us to the gate of success, that's the process of someone who is successful, just taking one chance to take a chance on the risk taken will not make us learn more. achieve what we want.

Yes, that's what must be considered, taking risks is definitely something that is not recommended because there is a big chance of failure or disappointment, but sometimes things like this are needed to be done, especially in the business world, it's just that we need to think about the consequences and be able to accept the possible disappointing results.

If you are not ready for the consequences then you should not take the risk nor think that taking this risk is the only way out of the problem that occurs. Risk-taking is not the last option, because not all problems require risk-taking. For experienced people they will do it with consideration and for beginners it is better not to be rash in taking action.

Risk is an integral part of life, if you want to achieve something good, then risk cannot be avoided, but there is no such thing as risk that success is guaranteed. There will be uncertainty, there will be risk, you can succeed and you can face failure, but it depends on how much research you are making the right decision. When you take risks in a possible place, where the potential is greater than the risk, and you can manage that thing very effectively, then your decision will be more likely to lead you in a positive direction. But all in all, the point is that we can never make irrational decisions, many people take countless risks in the hope of quick profit and end up losing valuable money. But we have to be careful in these matters, and we should not take risks without a responsible mindset, self-control and a clear plan.

What if it's not called risk, that word is scary to most individual, because they think risk leads to failure atmost. That is why most people won't want to do the things in their mind regarding building a business or creating something new to impact the world economy. From the beginning, as kids, children are always told by their parents to be responsive and behave, that trading outside the traditional ways of doing things is very risky and could lead to doom, this fear alone is behind the reason adults grow up being scared to make good impact through business due to the beliefs bestowed on them as children.

You are right that taking risks is good, but taking unreasonable risks has a negative impact on the financial system and quality of life, so reasonable risks can be taken by being aware of the consequences and preparing for them. Risk should never be considered only in terms of profit, decisions should be made after considering all the possible losses and gains, be it investment or business. Therefore, it is irrational to blindly jump into taking risks just because you have the ability.

We have good risk and irrelevant risk, imagine buying a coin that was launched today, without assessing who is behind the coin, team and other things regarding it and then you go ahead to put an amount that you won't be able to do without or afford to loss it. so in the end you know that such risk is not a good one and very irrelevant one, hence that in my opinion can't be considered risk but when you have something very tangible that is likely to have a good return using coins like top 10 altcoins as example then you invest your money even though it fails to return your profit early you will still after a long time have it.

You feel scared? That’s good because that’s what will make you grow. People are scared to take the next step whether that is to apply to another job or to start a business. But if you don’t take the step, you won’t progress. You’ll be stuck in the same position forever. Sometimes it’s better to fail and learn than regret not trying at all.

So when there’s risks, make informed decisions and take it.

Yeah, there are some aspects that it’s better to take risk than regrets and that’s what most of the people didn’t understand and they wanted to become successful person in life and they don’t want take a single risks how is going to be possible?  In life you have take what you have and get what you want; that’s how the life goes.

Because if you feel scared of what your about to do you will never get any progress make a good decision about what you’re sure of is better than look for any other person opinion, which will even scatter your plans.

Risk is like a test that should not be avoided because it is said that in every test we learn something, and there is no business that does not include risk. Meaning we will not succeed in a life situation if we do not accept or face the risk that most do not want and is avoided by most communities.

That is why I agree that risk is also good in real life when it comes to the reality of anyone's life. Something is formed in our personality as individuals when we face risk;
that is why some people are risk takers and others are not.

Taking a risk means stepping out of your comfort zone and reaching a higher level. In business, many risky decisions can either grow your business or, if made incorrectly, bankrupt it. I believe a person needs sufficient skill and the ability to minimize the impact of risk if failure occurs. It's like taking a risk when increasing the intensity of your training. There's a chance you'll fail and suffer injury. But if you train consistently, you can minimize the risk of failure. In Bitcoin, you also have to consider the risk of the asset's value declining, your ability to manage risk, and decide when to sell and when to buy. If you bought Bitcoin in 2018, congratulations! Your assets have now increased almost fivefold. However, if you bought Bitcoin around 2025, your Bitcoin value has now decreased. I myself bought crypto assets like XRP, Sand, and DOGE in 2021, but my assets are currently in the red. I believe buying at the right time and selling at the right time are the keys to your success in crypto. I apologize if my last statement was off-topic.

Fear makes us grow? I disagree. Overcoming fear is the main factor behind growth, not fear itself. Fear of failure/rejection is a major psychological problem and I can't seem to solve this problem. OP, this self-improvement topic doesn't belong to the Economics forum. You should move it to a more suitable forum category. Risk is good for the economy, but we have to bear in mind that 80-90% of all risk takers end up losing. It doesn't matter if we are talking about starting a new business or day trading/gambling. Taking risks leads to failure more often than it leads to success. Overcoming failure is as important as overcoming our fears.

For the younger generations, risk is not an advantage but rather a downfall. If we were living in the 90s, I could agree with what you're saying. Today, almost everything has reached saturation point. Inflation rates continue to rise in almost every country. Housing and car prices are experiencing incredible increases.

In this environment, taking risks is not an advantage in my opinion. It is very difficult to achieve anything in this environment by working, but you can still earn enough to meet your basic needs. If you take risks and don't have savings, you may find yourself unable to meet even your basic needs. This is a time for playing it safe, not taking risks.

Fear can never be a factor associated to growth as fear is identified as the greatest enemy of man, no successful man or woman puts fear of anything first as the primary duty of fear is bringing limitations to once success. I see the first step to success as accepting to eliminate fear and take a step either my taking a calculated risk or by making a life changing move but one most do away with fear to be successful.  Although at times fear helps in safeguarding our capital but can never be identified as tool for success,  which we must get at the back of our mind.
As for the risk related issues, I think we should not just take risk but a calculated one as risk takers always end in jeopardy
