Risks

[Finebone]

Everything involving money carries risk, and crypto and forex trading are no exception, as almost all carry varying degrees of risk.

I agree to all that you said here because they are all true, as long as investment is concerned or you trying to make money, you must be willing to take risk.
Whether business or investment, risk is that one ingredient that comes with opportunity, but what defines the successful and the unsuccessful investors or traders is knowledge, patient and consistency.

, but the risks involved in crypto and forex trading can generally lead to financial ruin more quickly.

Not just cryptocurrency or forex, anything that you can make a significant amount of money in a very short time, the probability is also high that you can also lose a lot of money in a short time interval, so it goes both ways.

When people talk about risk many quickly point to cryptocurrency and forex as the biggest risks anyone can take. However this mid-year August 2025 was a real eye opener. For example my wife invested a lot of time and money in beans this year but when the market crashed the losses were heavy. This shows that even physical investments can be just as risky if not more depending on the circumstances.

Just like what other members here in the forum say, all cryptocurrencies even Bitcoin have associated risks. We must remain vigilant when choosing which crypto assets to invest in.

Therefore, we should always be wise in our investments and accept that we must be risk-takers, as this is part of being investors
in the crypto space.

Interestingly, despite the high risk in the crypto market, a large community around the world is constantly striving to maintain liquidity for high profits. By taking risks you can overcome the risk level, otherwise you will not be able to change your financial position.

It is okay to invest to avoid risk, but choosing the wrong crypto can put you at greater risk, so it is necessary to make prudent decisions and build a risk backup fund. Suppose you are going to buy a promising crypto but you do not have sufficient funds. The investment decision through a loan that is repayable within a certain period is a kind of risk. As a result of the decline in price, the size of your capital will decrease further. If you have a backup fund to repay the loan, then this can be a potential risk for you. If after a few weeks the price increases and the size of the capital increases significantly. And as a result of taking risks you are earning a profit.

Crypto and forex were deemed risky because they people who lose are the loudest while the people who profit keep silent.
In reality any activity that generate profit will always have risk to certain extent such as bean like as you said, if the market went down you'll lose a lot of money it's all the same.

It's all just perception, people think it risky because there are stories floating around and they're afraid because of it. Logically speaking, crypto and stock is the most liquid market and feel safer to me than anything else. But that's maybe just me.

Of course, crypto is very risky, and if you don’t have the foundation and understanding, you stand the risk of losing. Most people who make complaints about risky trading do so because they enter the market with no good understanding and expect to make quick profits from trading.

If you want to succeed in trading and also reduce trading risk, learning must be the priority and the first step that needs to be considered. Trading can be complicated, but people don’t have the patience to learn properly before entering the market, just because they think their current understanding of trading is enough to make some profit.

I really don't understand how people expect so much success with their limited and limited knowledge, everyone thinks it is very easy to achieve success, but is it really that easy? And that too in a field like trading? They have a completely wrong mindset, in trading this limited knowledge is not enough, it is never possible to achieve anything good with limited knowledge, it is not as easy as we think, people have spent years and years building their skills here, but still they face losses, but there you come to make profits with a little knowledge?

That is why it's important to diversify your funds among different investments. I don't think OP's wife was wrong about investing in beans. The problem was most likely that she invested heavily in beans, in a way there wasn't money left for another investment categories. The same is valid for investors who put all their funds in Bitcoin or any other asset. Of course it can work greatly if those assets perform well, but if they don't, it's game over...

Even if one investment is working nicely for you, don't continue staking more money on it without limits. Use the profits generated to explored another sectors and niches of financial market. This way, once one investment stops working for a moment, there will be others to absorb the losses and continue generating income.

In investing, we should be able to use money wisely because it has risks, I don't recommend that someone put all their money into investing, because it will make us stressed when things go wrong. We should be able to manage our finances and risks well, so that when something bad happens we can still be calm.
And you're right, it's better when we get a profit from the investments we make, we explore other investments, including business opportunities. I will not discuss the profit side if we do that, but from the experience side we will definitely get a good experience.

The only way you can reduce risks is to strictly adhere to risk management. And despite the fact that many people are aware of this, at critical moments they neglect its execution, putting their entire deposit on the line, which ultimately leads to its loss.

It is not possible to achieve anything in life without risk, now there is no work, there is risk. But if you have to take risk, then of course it is most important to take risk in some trusted places, if you are at risk of money and assets, then you will have tension fees. So here I will definitely talk about taking risk and I will advise you to invest in trusted places. For example, Bitcoin here, if you hold Bitcoin for a long time, it is still competitive and if you choose it as trading, then your risk is much less because the market is always up and down.

Risk is present in everything, but you always have to learn to take this risk with risk management, if you don't take risks, you won't achieve anything. However, if you take risks unnecessarily in the wrong place, it will only be taking risks, and this risk will always only harm you, so through research you have to take risks in places where there is both possibility and faith in the long term. And you must take such places within your financial situation and ability to take risks, you can't take risks which is gamble, rather you have to find opportunities for success with risks.

What you've said is true, and I also believe that risk is everywhere; we can't escape risk. Since this is our situation, the only thing we can do is face it head-on. In short, we need to be risk-takers.

Especially since we're here in the crypto space where crypto assets are mostly really volatile. That's why we should be full of ideas and knowledgeable about this so we know how to face risk management in this field of the crypto industry.

In everything we where doing we need to know that they is risk without risk he will be difficult to succeed in crypto, trading is not for everyone and if you don't like taking high risk we have many investments that can always minimize your risk without too much of loses. Bitcoin is one the investments that can minimize your risk and if you can be using DCA  method be investing gradually you will always see the benefits of your investment.

Trading is a high risk and many people always focus on it because is a short term purpose and you can get a huge amount of profit in trading, but if you don't have the experience and knowledge you will always find it difficult to achieve your goal, and you should always remember that trading is always unpredictable and you can't get guarantee of getting profits because know one can predict it is a lucky game and that is why some people always says is also a gambling. Nothing will comes easy if you want to get profit or get benefits in anything you need to face some challenges before you get what you need.

There's always a risk in investing, and that risk is certainly proportional to the potential return. I agree with what you said. We must remain calm in situations where our investments don't go according to plan. I believe composure is crucial. With calm, we can easily find a way out by seeking alternative solutions. However, if we react in panic, I think we'll ruin everything. That's very bad. Emotional decisions complicate matters. This applies to all types of investments, both in the cryptocurrency market and in business.

Exactly, risk is not limited to crypto alone, even alot of traditional investments like agriculture, real estate, or stocks, can hit hard if the market shifts unexpectedly. You have to understand the risk, manage it, and diversify your investments so one sudden loss doesnt wipe everything out.

Your wife's beans business clearly shows that no investment is completely safe, the timing, market conditions, and external factors always play a role. Planning and staying informed can make a big difference. It also reminds us to be realistic about returns and not put all our resources in one basket. Building a safety net alongside your investments is important. Ultimately, protecting your wealth means being prepared and adaptable, no matter the type of investment. Ultimately to protect your wealth you must be prepared, no matter the type of investment.

Decisions taken by emotions always lead to negative situations, any decision we make should be taken with reality through research. Because every matter involves risk and possibility of failure, so we must go there through research where the possibilities are good, but to make this right decision you also have to be realistic. Emotions never see the possibilities or losses, so such decisions are only based on luck, so we may have to face losses due to that decision, so be careful.

I agree with you that we need to be more careful about our fund management to reduce risk. It is necessary to know where the risk can arise in investment and what kind of measures need to be taken to protect your fund. I think the fund you apply for investment should be only the available fund that you do not need in case of emergency. Suppose you do not use the entire fund you have for investment. Another strategy is to build a portfolio gradually. This well known strategy is DCA through which an investor can accumulation through discretionary income. For long term DCA management, the investor can be tolerant in investing money. The strategy of regular buying regardless of price can help an investor to strictly adhere to risk management.

That is merely proof that risk, which is inherent in any form of business, can never truly be eliminated because it's simply the inseparable companion of business, always present, as they say. It is unavoidable, as it acts like a shadow that follows us wherever we go.

Therefore, since this situation truly is as it is, we must accept it in our lives. As we survive each day the reality is we must always be prepared for everything as survivors.

You're absolutely right. That's where the importance of having knowledge and understanding really comes in. This is really how the crypto industry works - it's full of risks in the crypto industry. That's why entering this field of crypto business is no joke.

Because if you don't have knowledge, you'll be eaten whole by crypto trading here. It's a long process before we can have full-fledged knowledge in trading in this field, honestly speaking.

Physical, digital, jewelries and all types of investments have their own accordance with risk.

That's why there is no way to skip the risk unless you're just the typical bond and bank guy that invests their money there.

The little risk is there but do not expect too much profit on it later on. If you're so conservative into investing and then, trading shouldn't be for you as well.

Panic and excessive emotion simply because something unexpected has happened is a very sacred feeling and can lead someone to take wrong actions due to their already unstable state. And this is usually caused by a person's mentality being more easily influenced by something, making it easier to panic and become emotional when seeing or experiencing things they don't like. I also agree with the point about remaining calm so we can find wiser solutions, both when the market has changed and when it still seems stagnant, as is the case with Bitcoin's current price.

...For long term DCA management, the investor can be tolerant in investing money. The strategy of regular buying regardless of price can help an investor to strictly adhere to risk management.

We should not forget that besides DCA, there is another useful buying strategy - this is BTD (Buy the Dip), purchases that are made when the price drops sharply, the so-called dump. In this case, the purchase is carried out for a larger amount than is done with DCA.

They have risk and without taking the risk you will not benefit from the investment. You lost today in that investment doesn't mean you will continue losing in that investment. Before you embrace any investment physical or decentralized investment make sure you carry out some research to know some of the strategies people are using to succeed in such investment, because everybody cannot be earning profit at the same time in the physical investment or decentralized investment, because the capital is different and the ideas is different for each other.

When you don't expect too much from your investment, that is when you earn much profit, because you don't depend all your life on that investment and you have peace of mind when waiting for the results of the investment to display.

I agree, just be known and familiar to your investment and you'll have nothing to worry about.

The usual investors that don't expect and worried with their investments, turns out to be the profitable investors.

That's because they're confident of what they have gathered and as the information that has been absorbed by them.

The same with Bitcoin and other assets, if we know where it is going and believe that it will, we're just chill and wait for the value appreciation of it in time.

When people buy DIP, naturally they try to buy as much DIP as possible, but if they just sit down to buy this DIP, I think it may be a wrong decision. Because since the price of Bitcoin is never predictable, so we certainly cannot sit around waiting for when it will reach the DIP level, there is certainly nothing wrong with using DCA as the best investment strategy, if an investor wants, he can buy BTD along with DCA, if he has the financial capacity.
