I argued that someone treating a limited, potentially total loss as acceptable is not thereby advising others to risk all their savings. In a reply addressing @hodlhodl33, I challenged the leap from one person’s risk tolerance to another person’s decision to invest their life savings.
The hypothetical investment I described was 5% of net worth, with the investor prepared for it to go to zero.
I said that if someone loses their savings this way, it is entirely your fault.
I did not name the investment or identify the person making the hypothetical 5% investment. This was an argument about interpreting risk, not a report of an actual investment or outcome.
