If you think being risk-loving means richer, you're wrong. Only a small group of risk-loving people are successful, you never heard stories of unsuccessful one because, well, who want to hear unsuccessful stories. You may suffer from
survivorship biasBeing risk-loving is bad for most of the case, in the long-run you always lose.
That's the thing with risking a lot as there's a high chance that you won't win at all but once you do, it will worth it. I'm not saying that if you're a risk taker then you're likely to get rich easier than those who play safe and find something that's more easier to manage rather I'm saying that the higher the risk, the higher the reward.
For example, BTC, if you've invested on bitcoin on 2013 and up until now hold unto it then you're very likely to have earn too much and might be a millionaire than those who've known bitcoin on 2013 but only invested on 2017. Also, you can have the risk higher and earn more by trading those bitcoin you have time to time throughout 2013 up until now which can bring more profit than just holding unto it but it involves higher risks and might put your investment to a downfall with just a wrong move.
