I think people who "only invest an amount you can afford to lose" still end up losing their money. Because after all is said and done, the human psychology will view any investment amount that took convincing yourself that it was "ok to invest" as a risky amount.

And they will fall for FUD and FOMO almost just as hard as if they invested an amount that they couldn't afford to lose.

The right saying should be: "invest an amount you are comfortable with losing". That way, you won't keep looking at charts every 2 minutes with your finger on the sell button.

Yeah but the difference here is.... they will lose a small amount as against losing a huge amount if they would have invested more than what they can afford to loss, one way or another if you are not careful, you will lose money, to me, i think they interpreter the same thing, nobody wants to actually lose any money no matter how small, if it happens, the impact won't be to hard because the invested amount is withing what you can afford.

Losing something which you hadnt anticipated will surely create that kind of emotion or mindset on being that impulsive which would cause even more problems if you dont have that kind of good

self control and you should really realize that investing or spending the money that you could afford to lose is a must whether you are investing or doing gambling or something in related to it.

You wouldnt really be that stressful in case you do lose those money, what matter most here is to sustain despite of that condition.

"Only invest an amount you can afford to lose."

Probably one of the most common advice I've heard when it comes to investing in bitcoin; and I've used it a lot of times too. But honestly, in our current situation where fiat is getting printed like hell, I started to use that statement less and less. It just seems that holding bitcoin is now totally necessary.

Don't get me wrong, we should still be heavily educating people when it comes to proper investing in general with DCA-ing and probably not going all-in on one go and stuff, but I think bitcoin is a lot less risky of an investment now compared to the past few years despite it still being volatile.

Thoughts? Opinions?

those who are smart today definitely choose to invest in bitcoin over other types (gold or property)...

Bitcoin is indeed very volatile but if we want to make big profits, volatile assets are what we need the most. just compare the growth of gold, property assets around you with the growth of bitcoin in the last 10 years then I am sure you all will see Bitcoin -> the most extraordinary price growth.

Yes, for people who don't fully believe in bitcoin, they only trade and store part of it, there are many processes that must be passed to invite people to fully believe in bitcoin, if you look at its development, bitcoin actually has very little risk if we understand and always follow its development, so that we can increase the maximum profit.

Invest in cryptocurrencies in such a way that you can survive even if you lose your profits.There are some people who directly invest huge profits and later they become self-absorbed in flexibility.So don't go into this cryptocurrency and invest as much as you can afford so that you can survive if lost.There are many people who lose their profits and drop out of the cryptocurrency. They invest a very limited amount and you can survive in the market even if you lose later.

As long you arent dealing with futures or leverage then you would really be always having that chance of recovery since you could just simply hold and wait for recovery compared into those people who

do make out some panic sell/cut losses or simply being liquidated by the market which you dont really have the chance for any possible recovery or something like that.Speaking with investment funds

then once you do step your foot into this market then always consider out on using the amounts which you could afford to lose.Fund management is really that important i should say.

The worst investment we can have is fiat holding. Fiat depreciates all the time. Not only this time. Check decade(s) ago in your country and compare your fiat purchasing power as at then and compare it to now, highly inflationary and depreciate fiat will be the 100% result.

Inflation makes fiat valueless and worth little but what then is the way out of people not holding fiat? Is that even possible to do?

You are not investing for loose your money you are investing for earn money and if you want to earn then you have to make research and then invest any project but if you wanna loose money then invest without any research of project.

Nobody will plan to loose money from the beginning before investing, otherwise he will not invest there. Research is good and it helps to alert people from investing in nonsense projects but it does not mean it can prevent all scams from happening. Sometimes scams happen because they are programmed to happen and must happen.

Well said , war is going on and infliation is heading towards it's way. Some of my friends do investing on crypto without doing any anlysis , they think if they invets now it will be profitable anyway. after facing fund loss they get realized my advice .
If you talking about fiat money , yeah it's now increasing day by day . Just think about it if we need to go shopping with a luggage and return from shoping with a shopping bag.
It's horrible man , but it can be reality though money is just printing like a shit.

"Only invest an amount you can afford to lose."

Well, this is the very basic rule when making an investment or trading.If you have money that has not any use for you then can invest the money.Before making an investment or trading make sure that you understand what is it all about. It is not how much we can earn but it is about how much we are willing to lose in the market.

So bad, some people usually gets into Crypto without having any background knowledge on how it actually works. Which often leads to them losing huge amount of money. Is very necessary one probably conduct enough research on cryptocurrency before getting involved in it. "Invest what you can afford to lose" is an simple rule in Crypto Investment. Because we all know how coins behave funny sometimes, and also there is no way you can avoid losses especially in daily trading.

Investment is like gambling.Some people want to invest more and earn more, but in many cases, the consequences of this idea are beyond people's affordability. When many people invest a small amount of money, they are always misled by others "be brave and try boldly." If they make money, they will be very happy and they will invest more and more. If it fails, it may require great psychological and financial affordability.

Yeah I also think that investing is like gambling, because we don't know what will be the outcome of our investment, because this is crypto and we know already that this is a high volatility market and changes is already been expected. That is why I think that investing an amount that we can afford to loss is a good idea, however taking more risk is also a way to big profit, so we need to decide by our own for good, because no one know how market looks like in the next few days, weeks,months or even for years.

If you can start investing with a huge capital, the result will most likely a bigger profits. But its not all the time that you will gain profits, as investing may also lead into losses. This is the reason why we should always invest on the amount we can afford to lose, so that if we lose, we will never end up in a mess having an empty pocket. Invest first on a small basis and when you're already making good returns from it, slowly increase your capital to come up with a bigger profits too.

Invest on some amount which you are capable on doing so and not to tend to go all in because its never been recommendable on doing so and only invest on the amount which you could afford to lose or something that

wont totally wrekt you out if ever the market would go against you because not every investment would really turn out to be positive which it is really that important to be mindful about on risks so that you wouldnt really

get surprised whenever you do see sudden conditions.Invest on what you can afford to lose and diversify as much as you can.

Live with peace and enjoy life!

This is how any investment should be done.Only invest an amount that you can afford to lose.Which means before placing a trade or investment,think about how much money you're willing to give.Because trading/investing can be risky if you dont have enough knowledge.Also,you cant even predict what will be the outcome of your investment..Thats why it is crucial to start with something you can afford to lose. Dont be so greedy, because greed will leads you to poor money management.

Brother is talking right. Whenever you go to invest in a job or something, you buy as much as you can afford.Because if you want to take more than you can bear, you must be in big thoughts Accept as much as you can handle.

this is the basic principle in investing. we don't know what our future investment in crypto will be. no matter how deep you research, the risk is still there. this restricts us from investing only in money that will not affect our lives when the money is gone. However, many people make the mistake of investing, which is to take 100% of the risk. invest by borrowing, or even using all its assets. and when the investment does not go well, they are depressed, stressed, many even hate what they invest. However, this is a basic principle for you to learn that investments have high returns, but also have the same potential risk.

investing is something that needs to be prioritized when you are able to make money every month, because investing can make finances easier in the future, before we make an investment we must also be prepared with the existing risks, the ideal amount that we need to invest must be adjusted to the income we every month, we have to set aside 5% of our income to invest, because considering our income is mediocre.

^ If the 5% is the amount that you can afford, that good enough.
This advice "Only invest an amount you can afford to lose" is something that makes me shudder whenever I hear it.
Why? Because it is really not good advice for me. Of course, it is important to remember that all investments involve risks, but should you just put money into something you're willing to lose? Please, please, please. The same as saying "don't put money into it or do not invest!". I don't want to risk losing the money I have put in. Taking measured risks is something I am willing to do.

I am absolutely sure that many of us invest in cryptocurrency much more than we can afford to lose and make a decent profit in this regard. It's all about what coins and tokens we invest in and whether such a risk is reasonable. If we want to have more profit, we must take reasonable risks. The few percent of our savings that we can afford to lose does nothing for our profit. We know that the more we invest, the more profit we can get. You have to choose whether to take risks or not.

things that make sense, invest according to ability and dare to lose, where we are taught to be more careful in choosing coins other than bitcoin and determine the purpose of why we buy the coin, for the long term or short term

There is something that I have learned, and I learned that in a book called "The little book that still beats the market" there they say that you should choose the action to invest very well, because in the long term it can make you a millionaire, and also in some books of Warren Buffet, he always studied many the stocks in which he was going to invest, in fact it took a long time to determine which was the best stock, and when he determined it he bought and waited for 8 to 10 years and he was already rich, now do the same in the Crypto market, it is known that the action in this case in BTC, so if we wait 8 to 10 years, we will be very, very rich too, considering that the btc accumulation stage lasts 3 to 4 years about.

Since we are in the bearish market, it will be better to invest an amount you can afford to lose because many investors are using this opportunity to invest a huge amount of money on bitcoin. Bitcoin price just reduced to $41k for any investors to buy bitcoin and hold for the market price to go higher to make profit.

Many investors will not allow what happened last year 2021 to repeat itself again by investing all the money on bitcoin hoping that the price will hit $100k before December that made many investors to look uncomfortable during the Christmas and new year celebration. Now that the price has dropped in the exchange market, many investors will invest wisely by invest little to watch the market very well before the end of April not to fall victim in losses.

Please, please, please. The same as saying "don't put money into it or do not invest!". I don't want to risk losing the money I have put in. Taking measured risks is something I am willing to do.

That is why we should think very carefully and invest wisely. As our money can just lose quickly if we are not doing well. Even though we can afford to lose such an amount (5%), it doesn't mean that we are just careless. Of course, we take extra precautions and do the right thing like going to choose the best and most promising project in order to save us from losing.

We shouldn't just follow what people said, It was also a need for us to analyze and know our capabilities. As we know that crypto investment is risky, the more we have to be careful.

I believe that as long as we manage the funds correctly, we can win, that is, if we have a specific capital, it is best to have a percentage of that balance for investment, otherwise, another percentage to do something commercial that is 100% willing to be willing to lose 20% of what you want to diversify, and the other balance could be thought of stocks, gold or real estate, which is not a bad idea, the idea that it's all about being able to diversify and being willing to lose decreasing substantially the possibility of being lost.
