Why Saving Money Is Riskier Than Trading...

Zak Dakkash
About this episode

In this episode, Zak is joined by Richard Nasr — professional trader and coach — to unpack one of the most misunderstood and debated topics in modern finance: cryptocurrency trading.At the center of their conversation lies a bold and often uncomfortable question:Is trading just another form of gambling?It’s the elephant in the room — and Richard is here to break it down. Together, they explore why this comparison is not only misleading but deeply damaging. Trading isn’t about luck — it’s about structure, discipline, and emotional control. It’s a skillset, built on strategy and consistency, that anyone can learn and master — much like a language.Richard also dives into two critical financial habits that many overlook: saving money at home and treating gold as a growth investment. In a time of rising inflation and shifting markets, holding onto cash or relying on gold may feel “safe,” but can actually mean watching your wealth quietly lose value.This conversation redefines how we think about risk, money, and the mindset required to grow financially. Whether you're curious about crypto, skeptical of trading, or simply looking to make smarter money decisions — this episode will change the way you see it all.
