Title: Avoiding this statement, "Invest aa much as you can lose."
Post by: Bobcrypto on September 24, 2019, 06:26:43 PM
Guys i have found this statement: " invest as much as you can afford to lose", often very unpleasant and discouraging on crypto ecosystems yet many writters, analyst, expats, entrepreneurs etc keep making thesame statement.
Now, in any business venture, i think there are profits and loses, and in as much as there are probabilities in business, i think profit/ loss is also applicable to every other businesses beside crypto. In a nutshell, i have concluded that this statememt should be modify in this manner: "invest as much as you are can lose or gain". Vise versa. This is just my opinion. What do you think?

the statement is still valid, but is good to invest as much as you can loss because when you lose that amount you won't feel bad at all, after all is just a small percentage of your total assets. but if you invest 50% of your total asstes and unfortunately, you fall at the bad side, if care is not taking they have to rush you to hospital ;D ;D

I think you missed the meaning behind that statement.

"Invest as much as you can afford to lose" simply means do not invest all your money in some projects. The keyword there is all. We have witnessed already that there are newbies who will risk all funds (even those set aside for other things such as education, bills, etc) in an investment then when things don't go according to plan, they feel all the pressure and stress.

Compare that to someone who only invested money that he can afford to lose. He/she is not too worried if the investment goes south. .

Usually, many people adhere to this, they try to invest exactly that amount of money that they will not be afraid to lose, and this is certainly right, because no one knows what can happen, so this is quite logical and acceptable.

I also think you don't understand what that particular phrase really means that's why you find it unpleasant. How about I rephrase that to "Invest your extra money"? Is that clearer? Do not mix it with the concept that you are investing so you can earn some nice profits.

"risk" is common in terms of investment.  risk of profit and risk of loss.  so how do you manage these two things to be positive and profitable for you.  keep researching before making an investment.  experience will help you to avoid bad risks while investing in crypto or others.

The proposed option is still not very successful. How to understand that we invest in cryptocurrency as much as we can get? In my opinion, none of us will refuse to get much more in profit than we invested. The statement about investing in cryptocurrency as much as we can lose, of course, sounds like programming for the loss of invested funds. We all the same will be sorry to lose any invested amount.

Agree, don't think to invest without research. It will determine how the future result, so must be more selective in choosing new assets.
The experience will be very helpful but the main thing is to be smart and no hurry to buy coins/tokens as new assets.

If you invest as much as you can lose you cans stand to lose everything so you will invest everything. It is more about what you can afford to lose. Do not affect your quality of life to the point you cripple yourself in fact do not try to change your quality of life to make an investment. Always make sure you have collateral if things go south.

I think that in every business it cannot be separated from risk, especially in cryptocurrency that have a large risk and therefore investing in crypto must have courage.

invest as much as you can afford to lose might sound unpleasant to it is correct
people need to have money management and investing in crypto have high risk and one should calculate on how much money he can afford to lose if he made a mistake

I think there is no problem with that statement, its just a simple warning and that should be a standard practice, when you are planning to invest specially in the volatile cryptocurrency industry,

After reading the headline, I thought that we would be talking about an objection in the sense that how can we invest in cryptocurrency the amount of money that we are ready to lose. We, it seems, are not going to lose anything at all from our money. However, this is about adding the word "and get." That is, it turns out that to invest in cryptocurrency you also need a certain amount of money, so that, taking into account the profit received, we are ready to receive it already in a larger amount. Well, I do not know. It is unlikely that there will be someone who will refuse too much, not planned profit. In general, I do not think that such a change will sound better than it was before.

This statement is much more better than the former, i think that to "invest your extra money" is better. Also i have not found the statement unpleasant rather it appears or sound more like a ponsi scheme phases. Crypto is legit and it is bound to fall and rise too. Just like other commodity fall and rise in prices, so also is crypto coins. Everyone may understand that what goes up must surely come down.

Yes, you are right. It means never using your main money or funds for monthly needs. Only use money that doesn't influence your life or available to use for any purpose. We must have some funds that are provided for investment purposes. So, don't take your wife's funds.  :D

The investing at the right time and reasonably protects us from losses. Only those who improve their cryptocurrency investment strategy every day running away with big profits.

This statement is relevant for any type of investment, not only in cryptocurrency and the main meaning is correct, because you can not, for example, take money on credit and invest it in high-risk assets, which is cryptocurrency. You need to invest part of the funds that you have, then you will protect yourself from unnecessary problems.

I partially agree with this expression. The bottom line is that some traders may not control their profits and their losses. They take a loan in order to continue trading when they have a black streak and this is not correct.

Post by: vanjava on November 23, 2019, 07:46:48 AM
in my opinion, the right statement is to invest as necessary and don't overdo it. not all investments will produce results.
investment is necessary, but investing little by little is much better.

Every investment does have a risk of loss, but investing in Cryptocurrency has the highest risk of loss, because the value of cryptocurrency is volatile. But there is truth in the statement, it is intended that we invest by not using the basic money for daily needs, but using cold money or extra money.  Because if we lose the money, we are not too sad.

We all know the risk of cryptos investment are very risky and with it come a very high profit. But yeah one need to educate them self first so they can make a good investment plan to minimize the lose. Learning is a good way to make sure you get success.

Post by: WhiskeyHoney on November 25, 2019, 11:41:48 AM
The essence of this statement is not that you will definitely lose money, but that you need to calculate risk management in advance. And this is very important. This is one of the first things to learn before doing something.

if I think about investing in crypto, a more realistic explanation is just investment in moderation. don't be too greedy if you want to get consistent profits.

Post by: zendicator on January 16, 2020, 05:59:14 PM
Nope. The statement is correct. Your thought that it should be added a word gain is not well suited in the statement. Invest as much as you can afford to lose is okay for me. In investment it is not necessary to give caution about gains. Cautions should be only for lose.

When you say - invest as much as you are not afraid to lose - these words already contain a 50% probability of losing funds. For myself, I would formulate this slogan as follows - do not invest funds if you do not have sufficient knowledge, experience, and confidence in their increase, or at least in their return.

A good slogan, when beginners want to immediately get a profit they will always take risks, without thinking about many things other than profit.
like looking for a needle in a haystack, it looks very impossible when we don't have much knowledge and experience about investing

That word invest as much as you can afford to lose is not only used in the blockchain industry only, i also hear it in every other ecosystem including the traditional market as well. It's not discouraging, its just the simple truth that everyone just take not of.

‘Never invest more than what you can afford to loose’. I think that’s a better way to encourage people on risk and money management.

The principle is still applicable.
You will not invest the money if you can't sacrifice.
Of course beyond capability is unreasonable to invest. Too much risk is risking your money while borrowing some from others. This is not stable market. To earn or to lose is always possible. Invest as much as you can.

that is the right sentence because we all have different amount of access. many people can afford millions of dollars while some can afford 100s. it depends on how much one can offer. we all have our range. telling a poor person to invest using his penny which might be 100usd is the same as telling a rich man to invest with his penny at the range of 100 thousand dollars.

I think the right term would be "invest what you can afford to lose" although they have the same meaning  ;D. That's usually my advice to someone who wants to invest in something as investing beyond your limit is really bad for business as well as in crypto.

Finding the right and profitable investment is something a person must think of when they decide to invest. Real assets, buildings, gold is one of the most frequently used investments to date. Understanding investing in crypto I don't think someone fully understands it.

It should be a very precise statement like " Invest only that you can afford to lose" cryptocurrency is a kind of risky investment choice that's why those statements is very appropriate and serves as early form of warning so that everyone is aware of any possibilities that might occur in the long run. so its nothing wrong about it.

I personally agree with this statement and do not see anything so bad in it. I myself adhere to this slogan constantly and always invest the amount that will not be so disappointing to lose.

I think they are not so wrong. Stocks and cryptos are a game of emotions and emotion is a money killer. You have to get your mind ready to loose an amount therefore you will not panic when it happens. The reason behind is simply this. However people are just saying this to say it. So one should invest as much as they can handle to loose...
