Successful  investing needs smart work like patience and research also calculated risk and an emotional discipline because buying an asset is easy if u have money but holding it when market crashes and in bad times without making emotional decisions are tough. Business and investing generate wealth in two different ways. Entrepreneurs solves problem and create value by building products and services while investors provide capital to business and assets in which they believe will grow. Both paths are not easy and many of the world's wealthiest people do both. So i think investing in an asset is not a shortcut and laziness  it is a long term strategy that rewards discipline and research.

If you are lazy you can't make an investment i don't think it will possibly to call an investor a lazy person because lazy will always keep on procrastinating on what should do to grow wealth in the future, to succeed in life you should be hard and smart working lazy people wait for treasure to come meet them with lots of excuses why are aren't moving forward.

So what would you call those who want to get rich quick by trading highly leveraged futures, based on other people's signal? Or those who throw borrowed money into memecoin on DEX hoping for x100 or x1000 returns? To me, that is also a form of laziness, and those people are lazy investors.

Laziness is not simply about procrastinating or refusing to work. It is also about looking for quick way to get rich instead of taking the time to learn and work hard.

The title was deliberately made like that to lure people to read and the point of Iyinoluwa Aboyeji comment makes a lot of sense in my opinion. What I get from the core of the argument is Operator vs Investor, Elon Musk is the most obvious example, in this case his position as "operator". He didn't just buy Tesla stock and sit back, his wealth continued to grow because he built his own self-worth so he could sleep in the office, hire competent workers, fire employees, and redesign batteries. While investors are more inclined to buy Bitcoin, Stocks, gold and other valuable assets, then save them and wait for up to 10 years, this pattern is very realistic for most people because they do not have the will and ability to build their company.

Investing isn't for everyone in the same way, if you have the skills, connections and business ideas, it would be a shame to just be an investor, because your resources could be much more increased if used to build something. Not everyone has to be like Elon Musk because building a business has big risks and not a few fail, so the alternative is "Investment" so that your wealth does not depend on a particular job or business. The function of investment is like a machine that is ready to work anytime while you are sleeping. So the problem is not whether business is better than investment or vice versa, but if you are able to walk, then walk, if you can't, at least don't stay where you are, at least there must be support, in this case investment.

Investment is not for lazy people. Rather, those who are hardworking and think about the future are the ones who mainly go towards investment. They earn while they have time and save thinking about the future. Because they know that it will not be possible to earn for the entire period of their life. So they imagine the time when they will not be able to earn and save. So that they do not have to suffer financially in the future. And lazy people do not think about the future, they just want to manage their lives in some way.

To maintain wealth and manipulate it and make more wealth from previous wealth investing is one of the most useful weapon. But for successful investing a lot of planning and patience is required because in investing we don't expect anything in our favour and not every individual has the ability to do investing and taking risk. I think people has enough money for invest in different assets but they don't have proper knowledge for investment. it's not the big problem because it can be manged through education and by taking step with small investments. If we start with simple and low risk then gradually we grow and learn from our mistakes and make a huge capital for bigger investments when we gain experience through passing this channel. So in this way we should have good financial habits and always keep updated by New skills and information if we become successful investors.

Laziness is a very big problem in human life. This laziness keeps people behind in all aspects, it is not possible to make any progress with them due to laziness. To be successful, hard work is always important as well as consistency, along with practical planning is necessary. You have to be hardworking and not only save money, but you have to actually plan for it and move yourself forward for investment. You have to learn how to use money, you can always achieve good wealth not only through hard work but also through effective planning. But for these, you need to have your own will, you need to be hardworking and at the same time you need to remove all your laziness.

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

Your definition who is a lazy person answers this question for you.

If you are the type that believe in only people that go out to work physically every day or five days in a week are hardworking, and consider people with skills like programming and good idea that can generate money for them at the comfort of their homes as lazy people, that means your answer to this question is yes.

Everyone can invest, it all depends on you and your sources of income, staying at home, going on physical work and other jobs doesn’t stop you from investing if you want.

Lazy people can never make and investment because they won’t have a lot of time to study well and focus on there investment, and I always notice that people that are lazy a lot can’t risk there funds because they are scared to lose money and they prefer to get fast money they don’t want anything that will stress them up in the crypto space so just people can’t be patient to invest in bitcoin or any investment that can bring them profits. When you notice someone is a lazy person don’t bother to explain things to him because he won’t listen because they have feel discouraged when ever you told them to be patient.

If you're not innovative and creative you can't invest, so anyone who is into investment is not lazy is innovative, lazy people doesn't have the time to be creative neither innovative, but people have a foresight are the people who is innovative and they're super strong because of their creativity...I'm not of the opinion that what makes investors to invest is because they're lazy...

The title is really absurd because where it is said that investment is only for lazy people, the matter is wrong because lazy people always think that they will sit and eat. Investment is the work of a completely active person because active people are entrepreneurs as well as they are good investors. Lazy people are also mentally lazy and can never think creatively. Whereas active people always think about long-term plans and how to implement them. Moreover, investment is basically according to the right plan and how much profit or loss the investment will give in the future, which is basically very difficult for lazy people to think about.

The alternative to investment is speculation and neither is a negative by itself.  Speculation is more about price discovery in a market which in turn informs investment decisions, you cant ignore either especially as markets even daily prices still rely on long term macro investment themes.
   Theres nothing lazy about a farmer who invests, time effort and money into land all year round only to be paid once a year maybe and thats not for sure.  Most would acknowledge that form of practical investment as one of the most hard working involved professions.   Competition makes even paper investment not easy most of the time though the ideal is you make it look that way, the paragon of the swan sailing on the surface but working hard out of sight is about right.
