Do you believe that investment is for lazy people?

[Cryptmuster]

I don't think lazy people can handle investment well and make it profitable. Because even in different aspects, active or passive income, such lazy people will never be an asset but maybe a huge barrier for the success of an investment.

And with all honesty, lazy people do not create progress in life, but they always manifest to live a progressive and profitable life. That's how ironic lazy people are.

I think lazy people don't even start learning about investing. If they somehow do get into it, they're likely to choose the first thing they come across, whether it's a promotional brochure or an ad on their smartphone offering the chance to start investing with just a few dollars through an app. We all understand that it's hard to call that real investing, and it may not even be profitable. To become a serious investor, you need to invest a significant amount of time, effort, and money into learning and gaining experience. That's why I believe genuine investing simply isn't for lazy people.

not every investor is successful, and not every investor takes investing seriously. that's why many investors lose money in the market, and some even go bankrupt

they may not be genuine or serious investor, but they are still investor. so I agree that genuine investing is not for lazy people, but investing in general is a different story.

lazy person can still invest. they are just far less likely to become a successful investor.

If we were to compare investors with those who start businesses, investors might seem lazier. But this isn’t really a fair comparison because entrepreneurs, or those seeking opportunities to start a business, are generally very hardworking people to begin with. It’s perfectly normal for someone to seem lazy when compared to them.

Still, if we compare them to the average person, I don’t think investors are lazy. Perhaps we could say they’re people who prefer to take a more passive approach, but investing isn’t just about buying something and waiting for years. Making the right investment also requires effort and hard work.

How can investment be for lazy people considering it demands a lot of educational background, research and knowledge in order to succeed?

I strongly agree with you. because investing requires a certain extent of discipline and vision as to what the investment would help an individual achieve. A successful business cannot operate without capital, and these capitals can come as a result of your investments. while investing may seem effortless and lazy it requires a lot of studying because before an individual dives into investing it is essential that they study the market they intend to invest in, this process takes a lot of mental work and strategizing which I doubt a lazy person would do.

And I agree with you, with a business that is started and developed it makes sense to also be said as an investment, it's just the difference that we go down directly to run it unlike investing in BTC which we only need to buy and buy.

The concept of investing is very broad.

Starting a business or launching a company is also a form of investing. Spending time and money on education, healthcare, or building relationship is investing as well. Essentially, whenever you put your time and money into something with the goal of creating greater value in the future, that is investing.

Investment can take many different form, including financial investing, business investing, and investing in yourself. And I think what the OP is referring to is financial investment like gold, bitcoin...

I'm with you there lazy person, investing is not a thing that can be done by a lazy person. Methods such as Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) or simply holding onto Bitcoin can make trading less frequent, but they won't make any trading less disciplined. There are still lots of things you need to know about what you're purchasing, budget management, being patient in a down market, and not making your buying decision based on your feelings. The habits must be maintained, not be lazy. Passive investing isn't without effort, rather, it's less frequent activity. The best investors in my opinion are the ones who do the legwork in the beginning to develop knowledge and plan, and then let it go for a year or so and adhere to that plan.

When I read the headline at first, I found it quite provocative, but taking a closer look through Iyinoluwa Aboyeji’s comment,

So I ask,
‎Do you believe that investment is for lazy people?
‎

Well, let me start by saying... I have no idea who this person is, but of course, there's always a room for everyone to air their opinion.
And after taking my time to understand what the person is trying to convey,.I honestly don't see it as enough reason to accept such an idea/statement, which is... investment is not for lazy people.

Now, my reason is because, building a business from scratch, and solidifying it to last long is a type of skill that is not common. Unlike investments that can be easily done, businesses doesn't just demand your time and consistency, but it also demands so many things like how well you can manage cashflow, adaptability, understanding customers, hitting the right audience, etc, which everyone can not do.

Let's leave investment as what it is. Rich people invest in stocks from the money they've made from their businesses. Average people do the same, but in what they can afford, maybe like property, etc. That does not sound lazy to me.

I don't believe that investment is for lazy people because it takes hard work and dedication to own investments and lazy people and hard work are not on the same page ever, most investors are very successful and they didn't get to that stage of success by folding hands together and crossing legs relaxing doing nothing, if you see an investor reaping the fruit of their labor without stress that doesn't mean they didn't do any hard work. Lazy people are never ready to learn and expand but investor are always willing to learn new things and people people only try new things in their minds without actually putting it out, investors are disciplined and committed until they get results but lazy people are not committed enough to wait for results.

I don't think investing is for lazy people at all, it's just a different role in the economy and to be honest its not really for everyone. You see starting and running a business usually demands more time, effort and direct involvement, while you see investing, that is about allocating capital to businesses or assets you believe will grow over time and both of them require judgment and carry risk but just in different ways. For sure entrepreneurship can create wealth faster if things go well but investing remains one of the most effective ways to build and protect wealth over the long term. You can as well own a business and still invest in other projects, so long you see profits long term.
