Understanding Risk and Volatility in Investment

Traditional financial education often equates volatility with risk, but this perspective can be misleading. In the realm of cryptocurrency, particularly Bitcoin, volatility presents opportunities rather than threats. The best investors actively seek out volatility because it often indicates market dislocations that can lead to significant returns. Rather than fearing fluctuations, investors should recognize that the real risk lies in the potential of an asset, like Bitcoin, depreciating to zero.
