When people talk about risk many quickly point to cryptocurrency and forex as the biggest risks anyone can take. However this mid-year August 2025 was a real eye opener. For example my wife invested a lot of time and money in beans this year but when the market crashed the losses were heavy. This shows that even physical investments can be just as risky if not more depending on the circumstances.
The reason why most people point to cryptocurrency and forex as the most risky market is because of the volatility of the assets over there, most cryptocurrency assets can go from 20 to 1000x and also could go from 100 to zero that the risks of the volatilities in that, so we shouldn't be surprised to the point that we begin to get scared for the risks, instead of applying risks management.
