> What risk?

Financial, health, relationships, reputation, opportunity are some of the risks.

Are you saying that an employee getting a salary has the same risks as an entrepreneur?

In what way do employees not also take all of those risks? The degree of risk might be different but employees are also betting on the success of your business. You only have to look at the recent US election to see that people are taking all these risks.

Whilst I imagine a lot of people on HN see these risks as negligible they do still exist and it can go wrong.

The degree of risk is completely different. We can keep on arguing but there are some things you will only understand when you take the leap yourself.
