The truth about investment

[Stalker22]

Are there low risk and high risk investment, even though that may be seen as true but, critically looking at it. It all boils down to taking risk.You have to accept the risk factors involved no matter small or even big that such investment is associated with your ability to getting risk is what will determine how successful you will become in any investment you venture into. You don't have to hold back when ever you are looking at opportunity to invest and making profits.

Well, saying all investments are just "taking risk" completely ignores the massive, life-altering difference between buying U.S. Treasury bonds (for example) and throwing your life savings into a random micro-cap crypto token. 

Your success will not be measured on how eagerly you leap off a cliff and take risks but rather by how well you calculate the risk and whether the payoff makes the danger worthwhile.  If you blindly chase any profit opportunity regardless of its danger level, you are not an investor, but rather a gambler who has not yet run out of money.

Firstly I would like to walk you guys through what I call the 2 types of investment i have in mind
1. Secure investment( these are low risk investment usually a long term investment like bitcoin, huge stocks, real estate)
2. Risky investment (these type of investment are considered risky and it's duration might be long term or short term eg altcoins, new stocks...)
Now the question is why did i bring this up?
Occasionally we've been seeing a lot of person talking about avoiding risky investment just because they want to play safe, we hear things like "do not diversify focus all your energy on bitcoin" this advice might sound logically good but it's  not a good financial advice to play it safe when you have a goal of becoming wealthy. Such advice is only good when you have already accepted the limit to how far you want to go financially.
I'm not saying people shouldn't invest in bitcoin, in fact the whole idea of this topic is to expose us to a much better financial approach with bitcoin or other secure investments and the risky ones. 
What i consider the best financial approach when it comes to investment is the use of secure investments as your basic or foundation investment. instead of saving in fiat put some of your savings into any of these secure investment, sure it will take alot of time but it's better than the interest from banks. While the remaining small percentage let's say 30% of your savings should go to risky investment it could be crypto, new stocks, trading.. anyone that you love. The whole idea of using a small fraction for your risky investment is because it may not return back to you and that is good risk management compared to when you use all your savings for approaching a risky investment.
I know the economy has forced some peoole to want to play it safe but the truth is more you try to avoid failure, the more you're avoiding success. And such person can never become wealthy playing it safe.

Every form of investment involves taking risk. Now my question is: what is a secure investment? In as much as you're dependent on an external party to have your investment become productive, there is always a risk there.

Most of the time, we don't even understand what we're investing into. We don't know the mechanics behind it, all we know are the possible ROI and how to start investing, that's the definition of risk.

So what you feel like are "secure investments", they're not as secure and safe as you think. Just take a considerable risk in capital and invest a risk that you can afford, and that's it.

Life is full of risk, were are not guaranteed eternal life but how we live our life to ensure that we stay longer matters, now let's relate that with investment, every investment has a risk factor and nobody should expect a guaranteed success based on an unpredictable future but then some investment has low risk and can be more manageable compared to others.
 Those are the kind of investment people should go after not ths one whereby the ROI would be by chance or luck, that's as good as gambling with your money cause it gives little hope for ROI. Although it might not be totally secure but it's still referred to as secured investment since it's less riskier.

No doubt that no matter how secure that we feel that an investment is, there are elements of risks in it. Any investment that doesn't have risk attached to it should not be considered as an investment because it doesn't fits into the category of what we call investment.I think that the problem most people have when it comes to gambling is not having a clear and concise understanding about investment and how it operates no matter the form of investment that one is going into.



When it comes to investments what we consider when trying to invest is the degree of risk that, is associated with such investment. If we take our time and do a risk accessment and find out that it's worth taking the risk then we are good to go. Investment like that of Bitcoin is one that has a high rate of return on investment because when looking at the risk factors it's not as big  when compared to other.

You don't have to hold back when ever you are looking at opportunity to invest and making profits.

Whether physical or cryptocurrency there is risk, infact  taking risk is must if you want to be successful because every investment there is a way in which you will lose money, as long as you are  an investors risk must be taken, its automatic. Reason why the risk must be taken as long as you are investors is the fact that the may investment maybe go side ways that you did  not expect.

so you can see that  risk must be taken. Just that the higher the investment the higher the risk, so man risk is a must as long as you want to invest.

Yes, it is natural that there will be risks wherever there is investment, I really don't know if there is any investment that is completely risk-free. If a person wants to achieve success through investment, then he must take risks, without taking risks, great success cannot be achieved in life. However, we must gain the right knowledge before investing, knowingly and knowingly investing in the right place or taking risks, taking risks through investment without knowing or understanding is nothing but complete foolishness. I think it is wise to consistently buy Bitcoin with a long-term plan and hold it for the long term, as a result of which success can be expected in the future.

I definitely don't think there is any risk free investment, but with knowledge, I think investors can reduce the risk.  It's true that we cannot remove any uncertainty, but if you know how an investment works, the factors that affect its value and the risks that might cause the investment to fail then you can make better decisions than to just relying on investment based on the promised return.

So I don't believe that it is an issue of finding a “risk free” investment, it is about managing risk wisely.  In the long run, investing only the amount of money that you can afford to lose, diversifying your investments when appropriate,  and taking time to understand the investment before investing it can make a big difference.

investments have less risks than trading. When you are investing, you are faced with lesser risk and uncertainty than when you are trading. This is at least one thing one should have in mind. But does it mean investment is risk free or free from uncertainties? That's where the main question lies because a wrong answer to this question can lead to a lifetime regrets in one's investment career. When you are investing, the most important knowledge you should acquire aside from consistency and the type of investment you should prioritize, another very important thing is for you to know what platform to invest in and whether the platform has built enough integrity and reputation. The second thing is for you to so study the trend of the investment. Whether the investment is a long time investment or not, understanding the lifespan of the currency and your investment is an integral part of the investment itself so it should not be underrated.

I know the economy has forced some peoole to want to play it safe but the truth is more you try to avoid failure, the more you're avoiding success. And such person can never become wealthy playing it safe.

There is no one way to success, anyone can be successful from anything that they put their mind. We have had traders that became successful, we have had risky investors that became successful, we have also had secured investors that only invest into secure asset and they end up being successful.

What I'm trying to say is that there is no generally accepted one way to become wealthy from investing so although you can recommend one way to follow but it is best to avoid giving advice when you have not used that advice for yourself and secured wealth.

Leave the advice for professionals and let us learn and look for our own way for ourself to become successful. The popular saying is that we should reduce our investment in risky asset but then again some financial experts give advice to youth to focus their youthful years on investing on things they consider risky just as how Bitcoin was considered risky 15/10 years ago, if we don't take some kind of risk we might not be able to gain generational wealth as we want that is why what I say is that people should look for their own parts and follow and not try to follow behind someone that they don't know how they were able to acquire their wealth because although we might all be similar but we might have different parts to achieve financial freedom.

Investment success have alot to do with your level of capital and cash flows that provides you the incentive to keep supporting your investment, what I mean is that some investors become very successful because they allow themselves a break before touching their investment since they have extra sources if cash flow, and they even go ahead to provide support for their investment during market uncertainty, such investors will easily become successful than he can fail.

With your capital you can buy what you can afford to lose in BTC investment, because what you have save for long years will determine amount of BTC you will buy to hodl and have hope of making massive profits in the future. This is the reason why professional investors keep advising people to have other sources of income, because if you have created other businesses that is bringing profit to you monthly or yearly, to hodl BTC for long it will not hard you like the way some hodlers is finding it hard to hodl for long years to achieve what they want.

Never you borrow money to invest in BTC or other cryptocurrencies, because it will not make you concentrate on your investment than to make you start thinking negatively, and it can make you to release your BTC in the bear market and it will not help you to earn what you want from the market.

[Obulis]

Playing it safe in so many ways or things is planning to remain stuck financially. Up till now some people still carelessly see Bitcoin investment as a very risky business thereby have not considered coming on board and when some finally get on board they start hoping and waiting for a lower buying price all to reduce the risk.
Not as if wanting all the wealth on earth but how many wealthy people specialize only on one investment? The answer to this question explains the point the op has made. In as much as an investor looks on other opportunities they're not to rush into investment under the pressure of wanting to make more wealth without detailed study and focus on the already existing business or investment.

I have been studying about Bitcoin for quite some time. I also want to create wealth for the future. But I have heard from people that investing in Bitcoin is risky. They say that investing in Bitcoin means losing money. But after studying on forums for quite some time, I realized that the price of Bitcoin fluctuates. So is it this price fluctuation that people in society are most afraid of? And many people in society claim that it is a high-risk investment?

There is a risk in every investment that you can think of, Bitcoin is just one of the investment and it's a less one compare to other investments. The problem is that many people that buy Bitcoin don't prepare ahead, they buy Bitcoin with all they have instead of having plan B and when things doesn't go as they plan, they begin to worry and the worst of it is that if Bitcoin should enter bear market, that's when you begin to see them panic and fear.

If you now want to see how they don't understand Bitcoin investment is when they decide to start selling. What they bought at high price is what they decide to sell at low price and call it off. The smart investors and people that know very well about Bitcoin wait for this wonderful moment to but and offload everything to them by the time Bitcoin start another bull run. The essence is to be a smart investors and not a person looking for cheap profit.

There is nothing like a low risk investment, the risk of all or most investment are likely the same because, it is not possible for someone investing in a project or product to know the exact outcome or profit he/she is expected to see or get in the end.  The Purpose of all investment is to safe for future use or generate an unexpected and hoped profitable return but profit can never be assured.

Investing in a product or project that the outcome or result are known is no longer an investment but a savings. So it's not advisable for anyone to invest in any recommended or profitable assured project or product he/she heard of or being told about. No one should also invest an amount or funds he/she cannot loose just because he was assured that the particular project or product profit is assured.

[ColdLava40]

I know the economy has forced some peoole to want to play it safe but the truth is more you try to avoid failure, the more you're avoiding success. And such person can never become wealthy playing it safe.

Might be right, but I don't see any investment as secured.

If you are ready to make a financial breakthrough, then you should be willing to take good risk. The moment you begin to put in fear as a factor that held you back from taking risk you will not just get to the level your mates are.

Be it Bitcoin, gold, real estate, there will always be a risk involved. How well you manage that risk is what will make you profitable on the long term. Some investors are very bad at this and that is why they make financial mistakes that ruins them entirely.

[Don Saga]

Trading and putting money in altcoins is similar to gambling because you don't know the direction of the market and the possibility of these altcoins dumping in price overtime is very high. There's no problem trying to outsmart a high risk investment but the fact is that you will run at loss in the long run because if you succeed in buying one shitcoin that you made profit from, you will continue buying different shitcoins even when you are losing.

Altcoins are not always a good investment no matter how much profits you make, due to their high volatility and this is a trap that many newbies would always want to engage in because of the possible high returns. It is not financial advise to take such risk because altcoins lack proper fundamentals and structure for a good run.

It is wise to choose investment with the right principle and avoid ignoring the red flags because of the possible profitable outcome. Anyone who craves for quick wins would possibly end up in deeper losses, that is a lesson that many wouod learn from experience.

[Judith87403]

Altcoins are never what we should invest our money into with full confidence; in fact, not just altcoins but every asset which is volatile, we should also apply some risk protection measure before putting in our money. We should be prepared that what we are investing in is not without risk; it's not like some government bonds which you will say have no risk associated with them.

Yes, volatile assets should be approached with extreme caution, especially the altcoins. The reason why this much level of trust has been builded in Bitcoin is simply die to its historical track records, but this doesn’t mean that one should blindly invest in Bitcoin. Even if history has proven that those who invest in Bitcoin and maintain a long term mindset will always remain profitable, the truth still remains that no one knows what the future holds, and that’s why it’s advised that investors should only invest with discretionary or disposable money which of course they’re willing to let go, just in case something unexpected eventually happens in the future.

We should be mindful of the type of risk we take as investors and also take some kind of risk if we actually need to make some cool profit from investment. It's complicated to some extent, but that’s the reality: there is no investment without risk, and yet it’s hard for one to only invest an amount they could afford to risk in what they decide to invest in, as there is no actual amount one can let go of easily if the investment goes wrong.

Nothing genuine in this life that doesn't involved risks, that's the part that makes it an investment in order for one to profit from it, which you totally right about it. All investment carry risk, that is why the rich keep working hard to ensure they keep making money, but its important for one to investment in something that they are sure of and with the money they can afford to lose, if their investment doesn't turns out to be what they really want. And also, very important for one to do their own risks assessment, as they should not rely on others alone.

I think there is a whole sense in this your concise statement, investment, while we believe on the important of risk taken on an investment that should not make us foolish as well not to carry out good search, research or even visibility study of the business, it's unwise to take risk that amount to nothing but wasteful time resources and energy which is full of regret at the end, for instance some estate developer who buys land and developed properties in land targed to be grabbed land which is been demolished by conflicts without compensation, has waste time energy resources and all sort risk involved achieving nothing, risk must be properly checked and valuate to avoid wasted efforts all in the name of risk not all investment is worth taking as the risk involved will yeild nothing.

Most of the time, we don't even understand what we're investing into. We don't know the mechanics behind it, all we know are the possible ROI and how to start investing, that's the definition of risk.

So what you feel like are "secure investments", they're not as secure and safe as you think. Just take a considerable risk in capital and invest a risk that you can afford, and that's it.

Honest truth, because anything that involves investing our funds is risky, whether worth taking or just giving it a trial but the fact is that we still need to invest regardless of the high risk. No matter how safe a person tries to play the, the risky part can never be bypassed because life is all about taking risk and the next is to wish and hope it turns out for our favour, must of the successful people I see today were all risk takers, it's better to take the risk and get lucky if the outcome is positive but if it doesn't give it another try but why doing so be mindful and trade with caution. Once an investor is determined the risk becomes a work over because it's bound to be.
