CZ’s 3 Rules for Risk: Are You Asking the Right Questions?

1. What’s the worst-case scenario?

Can you stomach a total loss? If your investment hits zero, can you still pay rent, eat well, and sleep at night? After all, those aren’t numbers on a screen! You should know where your limits are. In crypto, losses happen fast, and the people who survive are the ones who know how much they’re really willing to risk.

2. How many chances do you actually have?

If you blow up on the first try, there’s no second round. CZ’s point here is crystal clear: treat each decision like it might not work out. Your longevity as an investor depends on pacing your plays and not swinging blindly.

3. Do you even understand what you’re doing?

This is the one that stings a bit. FOMO is easy, but blindly chasing trends is a fast track to regret. CZ urges investors to pause, research, and actually learn before throwing money at the next shiny token. If you don’t get it, don’t touch it. Because crypto doesn’t reward ignorance and hype won’t save your portfolio when things get ugly.
