Did you get burned since you are so insisting? You know that crashing markets will affect all people, even if they don't invest, right? Unless maybe you live off-grid in a cabin somewhere in the woods. Market crash = Massive inflation. The poor gets even more poor. The rich gets less rich but still survive and enjoy life.

However what is the alternative? Stockpiling your money in a safe, loosing value over time? There is no way around investing, unless you prefer to work your life away for scraps.

Is it guarranteed to make you rich, nah, but not doing it is 100% guarranteed not to make you wealthy unless you have some sort of other masterplan, that does not involve working for other people for peanuts.

Smart investors don't sell during panic. I never did and I never will. I slowly buy up instead. Following the plan. Grabbing profits during highs, buy during lows.

Notice how this keeps shifting from "my strategy works" to "anyone questioning it must be broke, scared, or anti investing."

That’s not an argument.....that’s ego.

First, nobody said don’t invest, please show me where I did. Investing is important. Building assets matters. Letting inflation eat cash forever usually isn’t smart.

But there’s a massive difference between Invest responsibly and "My buy every dip, never panic, markets always recover" mindset is the smart universal answer.

That’s where this goes off the rails with you.

Yes, doing nothing has risks. But pretending aggressive conviction is the only path is nonsense.
No one’s saying don’t invest. Investing wisely requires risk management, diversification, and accepting that you are not immune to being wrong.

Because markets don’t punish only fear. They also punish arrogance.

And no I have never been burned, at least not yet. However, at this point, you seem to need the last word more than an actual discussion, so I’ll give it to you.

Genuinely, I wish you success. Just be careful that confidence doesn’t quietly turn into the kind of ego that makes someone stop questioning themselves...because markets have a way of teaching that lesson eventually, and usually not gently.

Little ego here I'd say, just stating reality when people talk about crashes, bubbles and generally miss out while screaming and complaining about high prices, expensive gasoline or food, whatever. If you were smart to begin with, these price increases would not matter too much. I don't think about these price increases too much.

I know people who said for like the full 10-12 years I have been investing, that crypto will crash next year. You will loose all your money. Stock market is less volatile but many said stuff like "next financial crisis comes soon" or that WW3 starts soon haha, and never invested themself in anything, loosing out on huge gains, still clinging on to a small salary every month and risk getting fired when inflation pumps.

I help friends and family invest too and they made alot of money from it, to the degree that their initial payment is long safe, probably made them 100 times more than their initial payment, just by telling them what to do. Some of them were afraid, I said I would cover their losses in the beginning if it went wrong (initial payment). That is ego? I try and help where I can, and I even gave 50% off on rent for like 10 people living in my apartments because they could not pay, I said alright just pay half
