According to Benjamin Graham, you don't really have to take a higher risk to achieve a higher reward.

Yesterday, I came by an informative video of the summary of the book "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham. What intrigued me the most was when it mentioned that risk and reward aren't always correlated which is very different as what most of us had heard "the higher the risk, the higher the reward." With this new perspective, I have been given a new idea that it is not always the case. There is this quote that I came across in the this informative video:

"Maximum return is not achieved by taking maximum risk, but rather by exercising maximum intelligence and skill."

It might be better for you to watch the video yourself for you to understand it even better. Here is the link to this informative video. As such, I researched further to understand it even better what does it mean. You might find this article helpful.

What does your take in this? How could you apply it in trading cryptocurrencies? Are there any interesting books, articles or an informative video just like what I have mentioned that you might wish to share?

I agree with you because gone are the days when the cliche way work/hustle hard but now it has been change entirely to work/hustle smart. I believe it applies in any aspect of life especially when it has to do with investments, it is not always about taking bigger risk but the best is taking calculated risk. In a market as volatile as cryptocurrency market, taking huge risk is not an healthy choice. Although, alot of people turn billionaire through that approach but still, it isn't worth it.
