Not every trade is an investment. Because the investment is made in line with certain financial principles for the project of a conscious investor and the product that he believes will solve a problem in the future.
Unfortunately, we see that many people who describe themselves as investors put their money on something without doing any research and examination, without reaching the minimum level of financial literacy, and the result is disappointment.
Even when giving 5 TL to the beggar, “Is he really a beggar?” While we were astonished that people who thought the same thing invested their entire wealth in projects that they heard through hearsay, without any questioning, we were also warned by an important name on investment.
prof. Dr. Özgür Demirtaş made a warning in a post on his Twitter account, including cryptocurrencies.
In summary, Demirtaş said “don’t invest money where you don’t understand” and used the following expressions:
“The details of which you do not know,
You do not fully understand the risks,
Do not invest in Stocks-Bonds-CryptoAssets-Commodities.
Half of the messages I receive are from people who invest money in things they don’t understand and lose.
We have very little financial literacy.
Don’t invest money where you don’t understand.”
