As with most investment advice, it totally depends on your risk tolerance, age, and other life circumstances. If you’re 25 with a solid job and some surplus money to invest, a high risk strategy may be worthwhile. The upside can be immense while the downside (losing nearly all your invested money) may not actually be all that life changing.

This same advice would apply to lottery tickets. It’s the opposite that’s actually true, if you lose 25% of your assets right away, that will compound to become millions of dollars in the future. I’m not saying to invest conservatively, it should be aggressive. But investing in a crypto ETF, where most people agree 90% of the coins will and should go to $0…that’s just reckless.
