Regarding investing in AI, everyone must understand — the potential to make money exists, but the probability of losing money is also very high.
Look, over the past twenty years, those who have profited from real estate appreciation actually have only a superficial understanding of the real estate market. People who made huge profits investing in Moutai stocks also can’t really claim to understand the liquor business. Among those who have made big money in stocks, many are complete amateurs. Now, investors making money through the AI concept, to be honest, may not have a deep understanding of technology either.
This is the reality of investing — it’s mixed with too much gambling and speculation, with luck and randomness playing a major role, and human factors adding even more uncertainty. But here’s a key point: if you choose not to invest in AI, you won’t suffer any losses. Your principal remains safe, and that’s the most important thing.
Looking at the timeline in the long run, very few people can truly survive in the market for the long term. Some say don’t miss the wave of an era, but in reality, missing it isn’t that terrible — at least your principal is still in your pocket.
My advice is straightforward: rather than betting on an AI boom, it’s more practical to preserve your principal. Nine out of ten bets will lose, that’s the probability right there.

To be honest, this set of theories sounds reasonable, but there are very few people who can truly protect their principal... Always wondering if the next wave will be even bigger.

That's a really harsh truth—it's true that betting all in almost always leads to losing. That being said, safety of the principal is the key; we've all seen too many all-in bets end up losing everything.

That's right, I didn't get involved in this wave of AI. Watching others make money makes me itchy, but it's not right. Having the principal in hand feels more secure.
The saying "nine out of ten bets lose" hits hard. Really, everyone around me is just being harvested like leeks, not a single long-term winner.
Damn, why does it feel like I see through everything but still can't do anything? I still want to buy the dip...
Keeping the principal safe is easier said than done. Human nature is just greed.
Hmm, most people who are lucky are just guessing blindly and happen to be right, not truly understanding. I agree with that.

That's right, the principal is fundamental. Look at how many people are blinded by FOMO and end up losing everything.

Well said, the safety of the principal is the hard truth. Don't let FOMO control you; the fact is, nine out of ten bets lose.

That's so true, the saying "Nine out of ten bets lose" really hits home. I've seen too many people go all in on AI concepts and end up losing everything, really.
Making money depends on luck, losing money depends on skill, that's just how it is.
It's really just a psychological game; the fear of missing out (FOMO) often leads to even worse mistakes.
Principal is the foundation; this principle sounds simple but is really hard to practice.
Hey, have you noticed? The more abstract the concept, the more people make money from it—ironic, isn't it?
Instead of researching AI, it's better to study human nature; the essence of investing is gambling on human psychology.
There's really nothing wrong with not investing in AI, but the regret of going all in on AI can last a lifetime—that's a huge difference.
Preserving capital first, getting rich quickly second—that order can't be reversed, everyone.
I've seen too many stories of overnight riches followed by a quick return to poverty; it's better to play it safe.
Basically, it's a confrontation between gambler's mentality and rational thinking; most people lose to their own greed.

There's really nothing wrong with what you're saying, but most people just won't listen. They only realize what "gambling" is after they've lost.
