Yes indeed investment anywhere is not always safe and has a high risk because we get profit from fluctuations, we cannot get it for sure. So that we have to be careful and do overall consideration in order to avoid these risks. I agree with what you say that invest anything we can lose. Because we must always be ready with the results that will be obtained.
There is no gain when you do not take the risk though. Our life always succeed on every challenges and find a way to get out and rise again. We cannot predict about the result easily when we invest but we do not have to wait with nothing. Invest what you afford to lose and diversify them.
You are so on point mate, it is better to try than not to try at all, savings is not enough to keep one financially free for life because every blessed day comes with its own challenge that will tend to take that savings away and except you have a river that never runs dry, you might not meet up.
So, it better to invest in lots of businesses no matter how risky they seems, there is 50% possibility of whatever business we risk to be success, life is full of risk generally and except we take it before we can come out with a life decision. Just like crypto trading, I see a lot of people condemning it every day while some have taken the risk, at least with little income to try it and see where it leads them, and most have been successful.
