Topic: Differences between an investor and common man! - page 3. (Read 3908 times)

The biggest difference between investors and ordinary people is that investors’ funds may be dozens or even hundreds of times that of ordinary people. Although the purpose of investors and ordinary people is the same, investing in cryptocurrency to obtain income, there are still differences between the two. There is a big gap in mentality. When investors' currency shrinks ten times, they can work and live normally, but when ordinary people's currency depreciates, ordinary people will sell the currency in their hands. When ordinary people make 30% or 50% of profits, they can't wait to be sold off, but investors will continue to hold them unmoved.

Please lets understand that an Investor is someone looks for every good opportunity to invest either his meagre or huge earnings inoder to make profi.... While that of a Common Man is someone who who sees life as work, eat and be satisfy without building any assets or investing.
From my own perspective thats my point of view.

In my opinion, it's different in that investors have a high risk of getting rich, they use all their brains to think about how to invest and generate profits in the most optimal way. , these are things that normal people don't do.

Investors will get richer and richer, while the average person may work long hours to build up to become rich, investors will have the courage to take risks, they will analyze the market trend, and the average person will invest based on their intuition or be influenced by the media.

Common man consideres his house to be his asset.
It is an open secret that all our belongings can divided into assets and liabilities. Investors tend to create as many assets as they can, while common people don't even think about it and buy whatever they want and take the loans for it. We should understand that assets are some things which bring you the money and liabilities are the things that demand some money from you. I will draw an example here. You want to buy a car for yourself, it means that you are buying liability: the car itself will not bring you any money and vica versa it will take your money for gas, repair and so on. However, if you want to do some taxi driving and you need a car for this, then you are buying an asset which will bring you the money when people will pay you for the taxi trips.
There is a common misconception which implies that building/buying your own house can be regarded as investment (buying/creating an asset), however it is not true. The house itself will never bring you the money, unless you build it in order to sell at the higher price. In this case it can be regarded as investment.
So, my point is that the investors think in the paradigm of assets/liabilities which help them manage thei budgets much more efficiently than common people without any investing or economic background.

Sometimes it shouldnt really be blamed of directly to the person because there are situations or reality in life that even you do like to invest but there are no
ways for you to do so because of lacking some capacity or capability which would be a big hindrance for you to make such move.So you do end up on
focusing on daily living instead and missing out those opportunities but actually there are ways for you to do so its just depend on how you do put up some
effort for that to happen.

Maybe you're right! The thoughts of an investor are different from ordinary people. They never borrow money to use like buying a house, buying a car ... where they will make money to invest and do business. They will turn the currency that arises profits. And ordinary people only want to meet the needs of daily life. Investors always find ways to enrich them boldly borrow money and boldly invest big. And ordinary people are always afraid to lose losses.

A common man or layman can be an investor and an investor can be a common man. One thing I am sure of is that investors are risk lovers and are business-oriented. They sleep, talk, eat businesses and invention.

None. A common man should be an investor and in fact many common man in the US have 401K (pension plans) which makes them investors, many people (like myself, a classic example of a very common dude) have some stocks or funds. The message here should be that the common guy should get at least a minimum of financial education. There is not "an investor type" and a "common guy", there are simply different degrees of knowledge and investing ability.

One of the main problems I have seem is that many common people have associated the idea of investing with gambling, even they use these as synonyms. This is the confusion we should address.

An investor is ever mindful of there spending. Knowing fully well that, every penny that goes out of their wallet is capable of bringing them some profit. An investor is blessed with the mindset that is able to differentiate between needs from wants and is able to apportion the funds for each as such.

A common man is exactly the opposite of all these virtues. They just survive, spending without any proper considerations of what profit the money could yield them in time in a potential investment plan. This is why they tend to be stagnated in there economic growth.

I agree with you. Two different people could have access to the same Loan facility but it is the different mindset or thinking about investment that will eventually separate the two investors and how they come out with their investment. Even in the Business minded world, investors still thinks differently with regards to a particulate type of investment, why are we now having more and more Big corporations now wanting to invest in Bitcoin? Because now their thinking or mindset towards Bitcoin has changed from previous view. 

I think the difference between an investor and an ordinary person lies in how to manage finances. The investor will not buy what he wants, but he will buy what he needs. investors will also save their wealth in a form whose value continues to increase. like gold, house, bitcoin, etc.

Meanwhile, the common man buys what he wants, even though he knows that what he buys will continue to fall in value. ordinary people do not think about what will happen in the future. he only follows his satisfaction on this day.

An investor's mindset: "money must make more money"
A common man's mindset: "money exist to be spent on different things"

It sounds like you are describing a gambler instead of an investor, you don't have to be pressured when you are investing because there are ways to invest without the hitch of actively managing it, a smart investor makes money work for him and not the other way around. Common people that doesn't know a thing about investing can become an investor too, you just have to give them the opportunity.

Every body is different and I believe you can only talk for yourself as such kind of person who would take out a loan for those kind of things. In some cases we have read about people which we would call the investors and are even advised not to borrow or take loan for crypto investment so you can see what I am trying to get at. How ever you Invest is everyone's personal decision, I don't mind taking loans for investment even in crypto or Bitcoin to be precise but some would advise not to because of the saying, Do not invest what you cannot afford to loss cos I believe no One wants to loss a borrowed money or loan or even their own personal money. People that have come to understand the Future and benefits of Bitcoin will go to the length to get funds for investment but for those that don't know or understand crypto or bitcoin yet, will invest those funds on other things.   

An easily recognizable difference between the two is the courage to make decision. You probably won't argue that investor are brave enough to invest in bitcoin and cryptocurrency in the million dollar when the price dump in the middle of 2020 and their decision come from the courage and knowledge they have and their belief in potential. But you probably won't find an ordinary person without knowledge brave enough to invest thousand dollar by the time the price dump in 2020. They even say they want to secure their fund in fiat or stablecoin.

Everyone here has the same mission in crypto assets, especially in trading and investment No one want to lose because everyone want to get a profit from the capital they have. Brave, knowledge, experience and capital are the determining factor for the success of completing the mission.

You don't necessarily have to lose your money when you are investing, since you are knowledgeable when it comes to investing then you should know that there are investment venues that are safe and not to actively manage. The difference between a common man and an investor is the knowledge and opportunity in my opinion because anyone can be an investor, and I think that this two is essential for a common man to become an investor.

An investor has a lot to do, a lot to read and be very well prepared in terms of knowledge and money before their investment. There is a lot of pressure on them because they have used their money to bet in a position. They may lose their money. I think investors will have a simple lifestyle because they have focused their money on investing.

You are actually right, there aren't a lot of people who points this kind of thing just to further their agenda. If people were given the same opportunity, they will be able to do the same thing and the only difference that is going to decide their fate is what their mindset is.

I think the most ideal way to differentiate the mentality of an investor and a common man is that the investor makes money work for him while a common man works for money. Moreover, an investor aims to have a passive income rather than active income in which a common man's main goal. Being wise on how you will spend your money on something profitable is what really makes an investor different from a common man.For me, financial literacy goals and objectives are necessary things that we should learn to have progressed in life and I believe that even a common man can be an investor as long as he/she has learned this.
