Topic: NO RISK, NO REWARD - page 2. (Read 553 times)
One of the mistakes people make when investing in any financial market is rushing to trust someone without first having access to the necessary knowledge. I've been in similar situations to the OP, but I can't blame anyone when the biggest mistake is still my own. Perhaps big profits make many people mistakenly think that the market is easy to profit from, but in fact, if you only look at money without upgrading your knowledge of the field you intend to work in, it will lead to a lot of problems. There are problems attracting investment participation, and not everyone is good at sharing knowledge and interests with others. So it's better to invest time in knowledge. It may be slower than desired, but it ensures basic risks that we can completely avoid.

Many people are afraid because they don't understand it properly. They don't read much but they have a lot of opinions and their opinions are wrong. In addition, many people in my country do not know technology, this causes them to only be limited to knowing people's mouths about the bad news. I think that's one of the reasons a lot of people think badly about cryptocurency. It is definitely hard to encourage people to invest in crypto for in their minds was full of negativity and worries.

Maybe if they knew crypto could change the economy, it would entice them to learn more deeply. Nowadays there is a lot of bad news about trading in my country because of the actions of affiliates and app makers. And this makes crypto in my country a bit of a scam by people who don't understand.
Taking risk is not bad but the problem is if you have not analysed the circumstances properly.Like in your case you have invested in the projects (taking risk) but without any prior investigation about the project and only under some influence of the market (not analysing the market conditions) which has put you in state of losing the funds.
The next big mistake was investing in normal hyped coins which have no long term future so the prices will stuck in same barrier not giving you any returns.But learn from your mistakes and avoid them in future and tell others also to be safe.

Moral of your Brief Story is too not be fast to get something, definitely you'll face setbacks and drawbacks while trying to do this, and I'm sure you'll end up in a bastardized situation.
I feel this is a bit fabrication, I might be wrong though, having yourself in that state will .Ake you depressed, loss hope, but are you ready to rise up with a proud head ? Read learn from the best and push yourself to the limit, staying comfortable is a big sin for me.
Yeah,life will continue with or without you, why not take risks ? Take calculated once if I should advice.
Thanks

And the reason why people are afraid to invest knowing that they can possibly lose their money if they will fail.

It is everything risky but we can manage the risk if we are knowledgeable to what we do.

Global findings
37% of people planned to allocate more of their savings and investments towards high-risk investments after the lifting of lockdowns.

That was last year as the pandemic hits us but I'd presume it slightly increases during this time. Might it become 45% (more or less)?37% of people planned to allocate more of their savings and investments towards high-risk investments after the lifting of lockdowns.

From then, whenever I hear about Cryptocurrency, I always say it's a scam and I was really angry with my friend.
Unfortunately, I also have lots of friends who branded cryptocurrencies as "scam" projects. The problem with the latter is that they invested on the time where the price boomed during the last quarter of 2017. They invested when the price was at its ATH; then the price dropped during the first quarter of 2018 in which these people pulled out their investments. Though some profited, mostly all lost their investments which lead to this conclusion and branding.

But this time I'm learning it myself and know how it works.
Experience is the best teacher. No matter how hard we try reading books about a certain topic, the only way to fully immerse and adapt is to personally experience it. While your situation may be unfortunate, this will build the foundation of your character which would help you in your investments in the future.
Mistakes aren't a failure, it somehow gives us the benefits of being aware of what we doing.
Investing requires knowledge that you and your friend have missed out. Experience whether bad or good literally change our mindset and most of the time once we suffer losses (or get scammed) we generally then think this is not a good investment.
For me, I don't invest in something I do not know. Of course, we need assurance and that is really what we need to secure first before making a step. Partially I believe in "No Risk, No Reward", it can be changed if we do something.

For you to be successful in live ,it involves a lot of risks, Not looseguarded risk taking but as an entrepreneur it should be moderate risk taking. Because the worst risk is not taking a risk .we should not think of its negative or positive outcome, so just try ,if you fail you learn but if you win, you gain. Generally no risk in taking a risk .
There are alot more stories like this in this forum, where Many get scammed because they want to learn about or invest in crypto, to me that not really the risk in crypto. To me the real risk in crypto is to be a be to face the bull and bear time of a particular project, knowing when to buy a coin, trusting your instinct and so many more but All the same in the end NO RISK NO PROFIT
There is no investment without risk even if you agree to fiat investments (bank deposits). I'm sure people know what investment risk is, but they're too optimistic about returns that it seems right for them to ignore the risk.The higher the risk you take, the higher the return, it's actually not always justified especially when you get random investment offers like Ponzi and other scam investments. The risk must be commensurate with the return you want, so it's a good idea to really understand what the great potential of each asset option you want to invest is.

Investing in crypto is profitable but not all the time. You should learn about risk management and have much knowledge about any project before investing.
Then you may take risk for the reward.

if there is no risk in business there might be no reward" and I concur!
In as much as I would want to agree with you on this statement above, I still believe there are few(if not actually many) exceptions to this.There is what we call Risk management.
And under risk management, we have three major risk levels, and they are - :
- Low level Risk
- Medium level Risk
- High level Risk
And as a sensible person, you shouldn't just go out there and start investing in all sort just because somebody or some persons told you that "without risk, there's no reward", this is a very wrong idealogy, you have to learn risk management, there's what we term as "taking calculated risk", you have to know how to calculate your risk.
Knowing the above will help you to know how to "invest only what you can afford to loose" (one of the mighty rules in crypto investment), this also means knowing exactly how much money to invest in a particular project, that won't affect you physically or mentally incase everything goes down the drain.
Alot of people in the past have made life threatening mistakes(some even ended up commiting suicide) due to ignorance of risk management, going "all in" in a wrong time or on a wrong project, all in the name of taking risk - they paid dearly for their mistake, no one want to have an experience of what this feels like.

Risk in terms of unexpected external factors because bitcoin fluctuates, so yes it can be juxtaposed with rewards as returns. However, stupid investment management decisions will not have any return such as being attracted to hand over your investment to a scam service. It's closer to the term, "no research, no money back)
Risk taking really determines the level of profit you will expect, because of the say which state they "the higher your risk, the better your reward" but that is not the case always. You need basic knowledge about cryptocurrency trading and Bitcoin first before you come to think of investing in cryptocurrency. What has happened to you and your friend comes as a result of lack of proper understanding in cryptocurrency, but as it is now, try and learn more before investing.
It's only half true the no risk = no reward because you have to learn how to take managed risks in investing so you don't just lose money (especially to scams).
The no risk, no gain syndrome is not totally wrong and should be more correct. You take risk and the risk turns out to be a good risk, it is OK. Just to buy bitcoin at dip is already a risk because there could be more dip. Just to sign in the internet to scout for job is already a risk already. Then there is q calculated risk according to you. Someone buying bitcoin at 35,000 with $10k is taking a calculated risk than someone buying bitcoin at 44,000 with same $10k.
I have also seen someone who has not lost money in cryptocurrency and he has gained and still gaining in crypto. Maybe saying he has not lost money could be wrong, it can be that he has gained more than he lost.
In general, yea. But also take note that the cryptocurrency space shouldn't necessarily be the place for everyone to take risks. Some people are simply better off starting a typical brick and mortar business because not everyone is technical enough to take cryptocurrency bets.
people who enter crypto are people who must be prepared with all the risks. so indeed if someone is not ready to take the risk then do not enter. and enter into other fields that are at least less risky. but all fields still have risks. and the risk becomes low if we are proficient in that field. for example, we are proficient in the field of crypto, so crypto becomes minimal risk. 
Better late than never so even today is good for long term investment on Bitcoin.
Even I have the story which made me a billionaire now because I had opportunity to buy few hundred thousands of bitcoin in 2014 if I am not wrong but I made wrong investment on other business which completely went bankrupt.

This is a typical statement of no risk no reward. Everyone is quite familiar with it but taking risk must also be accompanied with smart move or action. There are plenty of risk takers on degen, and somehow they lose some money cause they arent aware how it works or didnt review carefully. If you gonna take a risk make sure you are at least confident with the investment or project your betting with.
The terms is familiar to everyone " yes i concord on that" but the problem is that some of use misunderstood the fact, no risk no reaward is making some people to lose their finance in the name of taking risk, but it's very obvious that a risk taker who propagate during investment, has already microscopic and make an intelligent research of the project before venturing into it, is not every project you can take risk of, because it has become obvious that before someone achieve success in cryptocurrency sphere you most take risk...the newbies who are new into cryptocurrency investment take such languages as a priority or constant scenario.
You have a relationship that does not have good project analysis skills, he needs financial support from you to invest in a low-reputation project until it ends up being a scam. The second attempt, your friend tries his luck on Bitcoin investment then increases until he reaches a profit to tell you. If you met me from the start, then I advise you to invest in BTC over top altcoins even for new altcoins.

NO RISK, NO REWARD
So that's not the point of all this discussion, no one is risking investing in risky projects especially if you don't have any fundamental knowledge about crypto investing. You must have investment knowledge beforehand and be wiser in deciding to invest in the right coins. 
My first experience with Cryptocurrency made me zero my mind of it, which I later realised was a very terrible mistake. Some years ago a friend spoke to me about Cryptocurrency, how we can invest in it and make profit, he had the idea about Cryptocurrency, I have the money to invest it. I was shocked when he later came to me that we have been scammed, the he had trusted to teach him and put him through have duped him.
From then, whenever I hear about Cryptocurrency, I always say it's a scam and I was really angry with my friend.

obviously, you got something mixed up here. If an "investment opportunity" accepts Bitcoin as a method of payment and payment of potential profits, it is not a necessary investment in crypto. you will certainly not blame the US dollar and the US government if you were deceived by a prince from Nigeria.
you don't even know what exactly you invested it in, but you put a barrier in front of cryptocurrencies. You are starting to learn on your own and that is a good step, I hope you now understand the previous mistakes better.
