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.
Risk cannot be limited to digital asset and investment alone, we literally take risk to engage in our daily routine only they it hasn't occurred to us most of the times that we are in for another risk actually. When we try to make money, we have to risk some amount, the reason most persons take the risk within the digital space more seriously is because of the volatility that is often experienced around that space but fail to recognise that even offline there could be some very tough risk investing.
Business in any form involves risk, be it investment, trading, manufacturing, distribution or services bothe offline and online, they come with their own level of risk that the investors, traders or speculators have to bear and again this is both online and offline. Some offline investment risk can be even very high such that you will not believe as compared to some of the risk we take with digital assets.
