I heard that investing in bitcoin is dangerous. How true is this?  ???

IMHO, it is best to think of it as a highly volatile commodity and treat it as such, for now.

Investing in Bitcoin is less dangerous than investing in ICOs. Bitcoin is relatively stable cryptocurrency. Its price fluctuation in percents is not that big. Only concern about Bitcoin is that it's not growing in last weeks, so for now you won't earn anything or maybe will even loose some money. I'd better look at some promising altcoins.

It is risky because you will never know when the price will go up or when will it go down. that is why most people are saying that it is better to wait for the price correction before investing in bitcoin. but for me it is also good to invest in bitcoin even the price go up already if you will decide to invest in long term it will still give you profit. investing in bitcoin is only dangerous if you dont know how to keep it safe.

It is true.

There is a risk involved so you will have to be courageous to continue.
If you are not used to this kind of dangerous things then you might want to stop for a second and think again.
But if you do have experience with forex then I guess you know what danger is glued to this kind of investments.

There's a risk, so always remember that you just invest what you can afford to loose. But if you do so, it's an awsome opportunity to get much more money!

Investment in BTC is very safe in my opinion.BTC is really trust-worthy place.Many people have benefited from the investment here till now.Even now all the money is safe.It turns out that it is safe to invest BTC from another place.

Every thing has some positive sides and some negative sides. Not only Bitcoin but every investment has some kind of risk involved in it.
Investments are subject to risks and without risks you can't earn more money. Bitcoin is highly volatile in nature and this why there are many people saying Bitcoin is a risky investment. But the thing is that although there are risks, the opportunity of making profits are more than that.
This is why BTC has grown so much popular over the last year since it made more than 15x times it's price since the beginning of the year.

It depends on how you manage and take it. Bitcoin has no safety mechanisms. Typically, you'll get a private key or random words which protect your wallet. If you lose your key, your funds will be gone with it. There's no support to contact, no way to change the password, and no way you could verify your identity to get your account back. When it's gone - it's gone, there's nothing anyone can do. But bitcoin never dangerous.

I don't think dangerous is the right term to use. It must be risky. Investing in bitcoin is risky because its value is fluctuating. No one can predict if its value will go up or down.

ofcause it is. i only invest 1 % of mine money in it

Bitcoin is the top 1 in the list of cryptocurrency and it is impossible that it is a shitcoin. I think it is dangerous in a way that you may not earn profits if its price instantly goes down. I think those people who are saying that did not know the essence of bitcoin or they are scared that bitcoin will fall.

Investing money in to bitcoin is not dangerous. Just plan to invest for long-term that is the secret.
The people that invested money in bitcoins 3-5 years ago are now millionaires, that is what you too should plan for.

Investing in BTC is safer than alt coins, because alt coins are more volatile where bitcoin grows steadily, in the last two years bitcoin price was around $1300 now it is up to $14000, it shows that bitcoin is safer and not dangerous . Bitcoin is first crypto currency among all other crypto coins and has become popular world wide.

Bitcoin is the mother of cryptocurrencies. and the most stable. so it is even safer to invest in bitcoin than ICOs

COINS can be thought of as a kind of investment, the investment is risky, if you want to get high returns, will have to bear the corresponding risks, if you want to get a high return and don't want to get risk I think this is impossible

Exactly yes, Investing in bitcoin is very risky and dangerous. You may lose your assets without any compensation. Then bitcoin price is very volatile, you can lose your money within a few days otherwise you can get rich in few days.

But, up to the present people who are investing in bitcoin no one loses, it all makes a profit. As a suggestion, if you want to invest in bitcoin do with a little bit, don't put all your money in bitcoin. I want to say, investment in bitcoin is dangerous if you don't know about bitcoin.

Although there are many investments in PONZI schemes, there are also safe bitcoin mining investments. Safe investment does not mean fast profit or ROI quickly. In general, bitcoin investment will benefit after 12 - 16 months.

Yes, investing in bitcoin carry certain risks. It is either you make lose money. In fact, all investments come with risks. But I don’t see an investment pay as well as crypto.

Yes, Bitcoin & any online investment always something risky mind it.Specially BTC price is not stable digital currency.So anytime price will be increased & falling down.But i think BTC investment is valuable for future.

Not only bitcoin each and every investment has its own risks so you have check what are all the risk there and invest on it. For example, if you invest your fund your money in crypto trading platform as price fluctuates you may find the amount reduced.
If you buy and hold the bitcoin also you may find the price drop and increase in the chart. So you wait for sometime to find the growth in the chart. Early investors on bitcoin and ethereum making big profit by holding itself.

Investing in Bitcoin depends on the user because they are the only ones who can make those big decisions in investing their own money. If they believe that bitcoin will still have their value higher than this present value, they will gain profit which will be good for the investor.

Yes that's true, it is risky investment considering other investments like stocks, properties etc. It is also hard to estimate risk in crypto investments.

It depends on you and which money you are putting into investing in BTC, I wouldn't recommend investing with all your savings just invest small amount which you are not planning to use for something else.

you are wrong, nothing harmful from bitcoin, but rather risky. because it has a fluctuating value. this is why many people misunderstand about bitcoin. bitcoin was created to tackle financially more efficiently and unlike the banking capitalist system

What gives us the most profit and the shorter the profit is, the more dangerous. The bitcoin price is also very high so it is very risky so I think it is advisable to make the right decision when investing in it.

Answer in one sentence: NO risk NO gain.
also another sentence as a suggestion: if u have 100 USD, then invest 20 or 30$ for BTC / ALT coin, rest amount keep as safe money for ur backup.

There will be risks in all investment and the more you take, the more money you gain.

I never feel a danger in bitcoin investing, I think bitcoin is actually the safest and most profitable place to invest because we can benefit from the bitcoin price increase.

I don't think investing into bitcoin is dangerous. In early April 2013, the price per bitcoin dropped from $266 to around $50 and then rose to around $100 in July closing $1,242 on 29 November 2013. There is a possibility to hit 50k or more by the end of 2018. There is never too late to buy BTC as long as you willing to hold them long term IMO.

never invest in BTC, BTC is not very suitable for people who have weak hands, who are easily provoked by issues or false news

]As far as I see it is dangerous or not, it  depends on how you do it. In fact, there are a lot of people who view  btc as a formal job and many of them have become richer. However, some people have invested a lot of money in investing in btc.

i think it depends on the trader hehe. But me personally, i really don't see how this could be dangerous except for when you sell your house, car and belonging only to put into BTC. This irresponsibility is in my opinion the most dangerous thing about Bitcoin hehe anyway, good luck

Why some people say bitcoin is dangerous? While I find the maximum results with the help by bitcoin, I honestly say that I found something different since I know bitcoin. My finances have increased by investing in bitcoin ,altcoin and have been widely trusted by people in my country on this.

It is mostly those who are against most notably the bankers and the media who are always attacking the cryptocurrencies especially bitcoin because they fear it's potential because they know that they are not going to be able to control it in the first place.

Most investments are dangerous, it is just a matter of how dangerous. In my opinion investing in Bitcoin now is not as risky anymore as it is quite stable compare to altcoins. Altcoins prices are far more unpredictable at this moment in time becasue of they are relatively less established.

Investing in anything or in any market is a combined work of skill with patience.This quality develops when you have large heart and positive state of mind.People who thinks negative and does not have ability to resist pressure can fall quickly and than it becomes more difficult to achieve profits.Investment is a risk work and risk comes with fear of loss.Fear can help you take cautious decision or can make your decision difficult. BTC market is no different as you have to be patience and skillful with your decision,Your risk will be much lesser.

Actually, all kind of investment are dangerous because there is a chance that you could you earn high income or you could lose your money and capital. In addition to that, bitcoin is also a risky investment because the price is not stable and we all know that the price of bitcoin is volatile and I think it is the reason why you can it is dangerous.

Everything has some positive sides and some negative sides. Bitcoin as well as each venture has some sort of hazard engaged with it.

Speculations are liable to dangers and without dangers you can't procure more cash. Bitcoin is exceptionally unstable in nature and this why there are many individuals saying Bitcoin is a dangerous venture. In any case, the thing is that in spite of the fact that there are dangers, the chance of making benefits are more than that.

This is the reason BTC has developed such a great amount of prevalent in the course of the most recent year since it made more than 17x times it's cost since the start of the year.

I would agree that for every investment there is always a risk involved  however for BTC, the risk probability is not that high considering the volatility in the price market since it is normally happening. Certainly, per history of BTC has a trending of upward increase in its market price value. As for bitcoin investors, the skill is very necessary and the depth knowledge about the cryptocurrency world.

Before you invest be sure you have check the background of the company and that you have fully understand the rules and guidelines so that your investment will be worthy.

I am very lucky Investing in BTC is safer than alt coins, because alt coins are easier to change where bitcoin growth continues, in the last two years bitcoin prices around $ 1300 now reach $ 14000, this indicates that bitcoin is safer and less dangerous. Bitcoin is the first crypto currency among all other crypto coins ..

If you want to invest in anywhere then you must have to take a risk, it's a natural process. without taking a risk no one can gain any single amount of money. Bitcoin is not excluded in this system. I think Bitcoin requires a little bit more risk because of its decentralization system. but you could get more profit from here.
that's why I believe that bitcoin is not a dangerous investment platform.

Well this is too dangerous because it focuses on the high fluctuations of digital currency exchange rates.
Which are very vulnerable to hacking and the absence of a legal umbrella for Bitcoin. But you do not worry, not all policies look negative Bitcoin.
The Federal Reserve's Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Bitcoin could be a useful means of exchange, if it could be well managed and not misused for money laundering as it has been.

Volatility character of bitcoin really affect the mind of people thinking that having invested in this currency is in high risk. Not to say it is dangerous because it does not harm to us, in fact the number of investors are increasing even though a lot of FUD's coming around. Is just like to say that, bitcoin is risky but in such a way people have a chance to go further than of their life before.

Bitcoin is a good investment because we just use the power of knowledge which means the skill of an individual on how to illustrate their understanding about the topic that being asked. We need to invest for us to save for the future although it is risky but atleast you did your best eventhough you are just attached to technology. You gain money at the same time you save it. That is a good investment.

Not so sure ! But if you invest you m0ney in bitcoin make sure you have a strong foundation and ur willing to handle that situation that you lose m0ney.

from my research so far, ICOs are more dangerous than BTC.
and i think BTC is the best so far...

Having a good investment,it could really create a good profit too. Lot of people doing investment with crypto(especially bitcoin) because they believe that their will be huge profit after a months of holding. People take the risk because they know that it is worthy of having this and of great return.

Those who understand blockchain technology will not think btc dangerous but the opportunity and the challenge.

Not only bitcoin but everything in life has its own risk if you invest in something. The good thing is that you can gain a huge profit out it. Just don't invest on something you can't afford to lose.

Bitcoin is not an ICO.. we talk about here a bitcoin, the common coin that we invest with... Bitcoin is the right and best way to invest for long term.

I think BTC investment is safe, because BTC prices are now stable and many people use BTC to invest so do not hesitate anymore.

investing in bitcoin is not that you think easy,there are so many ways to invest....
theres a lot to commentment in bitcoin,joining to signature campaign that every minute you need to posting and sharing opinion about bitcoin...

You are not going to lose any of your money if you are going to hold it in the long run, that way you could assure yourself that you could get the profits in time. Investing in bitcoin is the best investment for me so far, it have the higher chance of making profits than those HYIP sites out there which are investment also that are only legit for a while, but will turn into a scam after few days.

base on my research about investing bitcoin is not dangerous but its risky specially if you are a short term investor because you might be loose or gain your money due the unpredictable price of btc.

Exacly, bitcoin is a long term investment portion and not just in short term because as what you said it can cause you lossing some of your money in that way. Longterm for sure can gives you a high amoun of profit

I believe it is dangerous for inexperienced people. Some people just go in without doing any research and end up losing all their money. If you want to invest, at least do some research behind whatever you are investing in.

I think one of the bitcoin assets can be invested, it shows that the bitcoin can also be inherited to the family including children, I am happy to pass it on if one day family or children when they ready to learn

To earn you need to invest. Investing has both good effect and bad effect. That is you may get profit or may get loss. But to me, the rate of profit may be little bit more than other currency. Last year the price of bitcoin raised at a huge rate. So if this rate continues then this year that price will reach to 30k$. So to me investment in bitcoin is a little bit risky......

Investing is good investment for long term where you can gain huge amount of income but some people says it is dangerous and its because of unstable price on online market. On the other hand, be a risk taker if you want to have a lot of income and money.

Many people now want to invest in bitcoin because they trust in bitcoin that there investment is safe and gain high profit. Our money in bitcoin is fully safe and profitable.

Investing in BTC is safe and also dangerous. It totally depend on you. If you continue research about bitcoin market and invest in BTC is safe. If you can't know details about bitcoin and it's market policy you fail and dangerous.     :)

I do not think it is dangerous to invest Bitcoin. So, the popularity of Bitcoin does not increase so much. He may think that it can not invest in the right way. If you can invest Bitcoin properly then hope you do not feel that Bitcoin investment is dangerous .

Yes.I agree with you. There is nothing wrong to inverse your money in bitcoin.Bitcoin always give you additional money for your inversement. You should not do of panic selling, only this makes you some loss.Don't do panic selling.

The world is becoming ever more reliant on the internet.
So, really:
It is no surprise that Bitcoin, a secure, global, and digital currency has claimed the interest of investors.
Bitcoin is open to everyone and provides an exciting opportunity to delve into an entirely new asset class.
Investing in bitcoin may seem scary, but know that it takes time and effort to understand how Bitcoin works.

Any investment of money carries a danger. It is important to understand that the risks should be commensurate with the profits received. So far, investments in bitcoin are profitable, as nobody will know later on.

Investing in btc is the fastes way how to be rich :D

i don't think so. but you  only invest 10 % - 20% of your money in it

In my opinion, investing on Bitcoin is not risky. It is far safe than investing on ico. Bitcoin is on now volatile. But within short time it will be rising again. Day by day users of it are also increasing. I think it is wise decision to invest on BTC.

harmless bitcoin I think is dangerous in what field first?
if the law I think is not dangerous for me because in my country there is no regulation about crypto currency or its ban

I think investing btc is never too late, simply because the whole ecosystem of crypto now has to go through a bitcoin to be able to circulate all the money, and bitcoin is a revolution on the flip side. The whole world is dizzying, and I think the bitcoin investment is still too early.

I think investing in bitcoin is not dangerous because we can freely sell Bitcoin we have at any time. the only problem with investing in bitcoin is panic.

In my opinion, any investment approach does present some risk. btc investment too. Perhaps it is too new for most people so they think that investing in btc is dangerous. But investment in btc is like playing stocks, high profit but high risk.

indeed risky. but with bitcoin can sometimes make us fortune. and also loss. and in bitcoin there is no legal body guarding

If you don't want very good profit in very short span of time then investing in BTC is dangerous because BTC is that superstar of cryptocurrency world that is always going to be in lime light. Millions of investors declared BTC an asset which would be used by future generations. Although in the first month of 2k18 the valuation is deflating but the future with BTC is always very safe and secure.

because they can hardly define bitcoin's price movements so people say it's dangerous to invest in bitcoin. But for me, it's good and safe to invest in bitcoin especially if long term investment because year by year it's price are increasing.

every coin/token have a risk, including bitcoin because we dont know when the price will up or down. but if we follow the updates news from bitcoin and can take the opportunity there to make a big profit, i think its not dangerous investment.

every investent is risky

For me not, because bitcoin still profitable for me, I know the price will down, but just a little bit. I think still normal.
Bitcoin price sometimes increase fast and amazing.

how much you trust, and how much you know about bitcoin. if you enter the crypto world there is much you can do, but it depends on your knowledge. I agree with bitcoin is dangerous, but for beginners and not a scam. risk is part of the investment.

No i dont think bitcoin is dangerous because it is good investment now and day by day it increase their value.there is no any investment without risk so my opinion is btc is still a good opportunity to new investors

Think of it as stocks

     Well, the way i see it, butcoin is really dangerous if you don't know sht about what you are doing with it or why you have or have not invested in it yet. But if you have an appropriate knowledge about bitcoins and how it works, there really shouldn't be any problem. Seriously. The only danger i see is the volatility of this currency/asset. But other than that? Nothing. As of now though. You know what i think is far more dangerous? It is the capability of our minds to over think everything and at some point, never get bithered about it. Both of these really did make lots of investors lose big money. So i suggest that everyone should take control of their emotions, do not get greedy, know your facts, and always set plans and boundaries. This way, you can decide more efficiently and more effectively.

Some people say investing in bitcoin is dangerous, as a result of the fact that it has not gained global recognition and has not been accepted by some governments. But be it as it may, investing in the cryptocurrency should be an investment one should engage in, being that the innovation is at its early stage.

What do you exactly mean? You can treat Bitcoin as a currency or a long-term investment. I understand that you might be scared of losing your money in case Bitcoin value drops dramatically but every kind of investment has a risk factor. You can't earn a lot of money without taking a risk. Many people who invest in Bitcoin blame it when we are in the middle of the correction. Why they can't simply wait?  Don't invest if you don't know anything about BTC and if you don't want to lose anything.

investing in BTC has its risk just like all other businesses you can think of. the risk with BTC is if the price falls after you must have invested. when this happens, the value of btc you have drops and this can be heart breaking. another risk is that of getting your wallet hacked and loosing your btc. so in this case, you have to be security cautions.

Dangerous from financial side? Well in short-term you can receive no profit but anyway till the end of the year his price would be near 50000$

the risk is obvious, you can lose money in a short term even for a night if you are not a patient person, but on the other hand it can bring a lot of profit and you can earn your salary in one night.

why is it dangerous? I see so far bitcoin gives profit to every investor. maybe those who say it is dangerous only those who are afraid to invest there. because maybe bitcoin is still illegal. and have not yet received strong legal protection, but even so I do not think it's a problem to start investing there

Yes it is true that bitcoin investment is very dangerous but you need to know that it is high profit too.
Dangerous for people who does not know how to manage the trading and by knowing the knowledge we can reduce the risk.

Bitcoin is risky if you don't know technology or you don't know how to keep it. but for me Bitcoin is not risky in the long run it will go up eventually and price doesn't bother me in the first place.

Yes, it is very dangerous if you decide to invest with bitcoin without having basic knowledge and techniques in cryptocurrency.
Moreover, you just carried the current hysteria, then invest without calculations. You will only be disappointed if the price goes down and not in line with your expectations. Whereas the rise and fall of the price of cryptocurrency is a natural thing.

Every investing have a risk thats the art of investing just don't get in if you don't have a guts
And save your money in bank if you afraid
In bitcoin no pain no gain thats hig risk but high return if you learn it first

In every investment there is always a risk because you would not know if you will win or lose. And for you to succeed you have to take the risk but just invest the amount you can afford to lose. Bitcoin for now has experiencing a little movement in price compare to what happened last December that's why maybe they think that it is dangerous now, but one thing is for sure that bitcoin price will continue to increase so there is no need to worry.

   




Investment is a risk but here in btc in not a risk, because btc grows massively. So don't think investing at btc is a risk coz that of what i am right now believing and waiting my profits at btc. Just be patience.

I think investing on bitcoin is safe. It is safer than investing on ico. Bitcoin price must be increase day by day and you can get profit. But you need to wait till the price rising. So it is a wise decision to invest on bitcoin.

Actually it is not dangerous but by the way I'm not advice you to invest for BTC because of its value.
If I were you then I will invest for ICO and good alter coins.

for the investors bitcoin is a good platform to invest and become a billionear if we invest 1000 dollars in the bitcoin we will deffinetly get 10000 dollars profit

There's always a risk in every investment and as for bitcoin where 80% maybe of our population were still unaware of it. The risk is very high because they don't know if it's true or a scam so some investors are in doubt to gamble their money on it. But if we look on the other side, high risk produced big income and to prevent the losses in investment we need to conduct more research about it.
But as of now I can say that it is good to invest on it due to high demand but you must be careful where you put your money because there's alot of mining sites/ faucets that attracting investors with great promotional ads but in the end there is no payout and your money will taken out.

There is advantages and disadvantages of bitcoin. For me the advantages is investing in bitcoins is good when you hold your coins for a long time. This means investing for a long term of period while the disadvantage is that when you joined the high yield investment program of bitcoins or HYIP that you can earn more at the highest interest rate but in the short time it will become scam. So better invest bitcoins by just simply holding it.

Of course, investing in a Bitcoins is risky, as investing in anything else.
The man must know his risk profile well and know how willing he is to risk.

Investing in Bitcoin is risky and it really makes us lose money if it gets too high. And many traders are too selfish because when prices go high they see the profits they can get so they sell all of their Bitcoin that causes prices to go down.

It is dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. Like investing all you money in bitcoin and buying bitcoin at a high price. Which is much the same as investing in stocks. Or even not protecting your password or private key for your wallet. Which is much the same as your online bank account or credit card. In short, bitcoin is as much a danger as everything we have been doing before.

Bitcoin is approximately as dangerous as carrying around cash in a wallet. If you lose the wallet, or it gets stolen, then your money is probably gone. This is analogous to having your private keys or seed phrase stolen (although this is much more difficult than stealing your cash wallet). If you don't take the time to adequately understand what you're dealing with, you may end up victim to a scam, similar to how telemarketers pray on the unknowing.

Simply this, take your time, understand how the technology works, learn how to protect your assets, and then invest.

investing in bitcoin is depend on your judgment weather you want to invest your money for some time or for a whole year or more long term. before taking your final decisoin you can enquiry about it or you can have information from market and after that you can earn money in coming years by getting profit.

Why are you saying investing in Bitcoin is dangerous?) IMO, let's say investing in Bitcoin is risky. The fact that the Bitcoin exchange rate has been decreasing recently has led to a gradual decline in investment in Bitcoin and more investment in altcoins in the early part of 2018. But I still believe the BTC rate will increase sharply. Expected to exceed $20,000 by the end of 2018

Investing in bitcoins must be risky. Investing in anything is risky. You want to be rewarded. You have to take a risk.

Yes, investing in BTC has some risks. But risks cannot be avoided in all investment. That is why you have to research before investing in any investments.

Risk will always be a part of our life, admit it and the only way to survived is to take risk. People are too scared to do so, that is why they remain poor. Bitcoin is a great investment, its high risk but the return is very promising. Investing on bitcoin will become dangerous specially when you know nothing about it, so learn more.

For me it is risky because you don't know if the price is going up and down so if you want to invest in a long term you should wait the bitcoin price if it is higher but now the bitcoin price is higher so it's better to invest now.in fact you have to take a risk for that investment.

That really depend on where you invest your bitcoin. There are a lot of HYIP out there and there is a really big risk of losing your bitcoin in investing on HYIP sites so if you want to be safe from them, then you should avoid investing on it. There are a lot of danger on losing your bitcoin like losing your private key or sending it to someone you didn't know etc. So invest what you can afford to lose.

You have a point, but for me I think some Icos have potentials now so it is still better to invest on some altcoins now compared to btc that is very unstable now. Anyway, there is always a risk when you invest, so better invest what you can afford to lose.

Yes it is very dangerous because it has a high volatility, meaning it can rapidly increase or decrease and its very unpredictable in terms of its movement. Due to high demand by mean time, the price starts to hike and when it will happen they will sell their bitcoins and so the price decreases. It is a win or lose situation when you get there, better have datas to study and lots of patience.

if you are investing yes there are risk of losing money when investing there is always risk if you are investing risk is existed everywhere on the crypto world and money too. even investing in ico's there is a risk although its much safer if you got the discount in buying the coins.

true, investing in bitcoin is quite dangerous and at great risk. but not with a scam or ponzi scheme. bitcoin is knowledge, and involves experience. so you should try to find various knowledge about bitcoin and crypto.

Investing in bitcoin is not dangerous why so many now become millionaire in investing in bitcoin. Bitcoin world is continues increasing they want to join to invest and earn money to become millionaire. It is risky but not dangerous.

No only rumors, risky but not dangerous. Investing in bitcoin is good fortune for us to become financially stable and successful. There are so many people now want to invest in bitcoin cause they know there money is safe and gain a profit.

Of course there are risks when investing in Bitcoin. Note that any investment has risks, and this risk is proportional to the amount you intend to profit (the higher the profit the greater the risk). However, I think Bitcoin has an advantage, because I believe that in the long run, the risk may be very small.

Investing in BTC was dangerous but now what will lost your total income?
move your ass and planning to make some bitcoins

I think investment in bitcoin is a great idea. bitcoin is less dangerous than other investments bitcoin is really trustable and also a best scope of earning online income .

Just look at the graph how bitcoin rises and goes down rapidly in a span of minimum time. Unlike, any other investment that it takes week for the investment to grow.

Bitcoin investment is not dangerous,  if you have good knowledge in BTC then it is not dangerous,
and remember "Don't put all your eggs in one basket "

For me, risks will always be  a part of investing. For me it is not kind of dangerous to invest in bitcoin rather, it is risky. There are risks in investing such as hackers, price, etc. You need experience in order to avoid and pass through these risks. Despite of the risks, the rewards are truly big and worthy.

The choice only two, being a millionaire or bitcoin vanish before 2020

Yes, year 2020 is my target year for holding most of my bitcoin. The risk is too high ? Of course but I dare to take the risk rather than do nothing

there are some who say bitcoin is risky to invest, even the government will not be responsible in that regard. but I still conclude that bitcoin is good for the future

no its not, its nothing more dangerous in bitcoin, maybe the word "dangerous" in bitcoin is the word "risk", yes its very risky if you invest all your money in bitcoin and nothing left to you. because if you are a newbie and have no knowledge in bitcoin then you are very hot/greedy to buy/invest in bitcoin for a stuff, this decision is very dangerous/risky for you, because there are times that bitcoin volatility is making you more panic if the price of these bitcoin decrease from how much you bought this bitcoin. ofcourse as a newbie you will sell all your bitcoin just to cut loses which is not the right things to do. so meaning bitcoin is dangerous/risky in a investors that have no knowledge about it.

Dangerous enough if you don't invest at the right time with the right amount. If you invest in bitcoins with a low value but with a high buying price, you literally wasted money. If a crash or dip comes up, the value of your bitcoins may probably end up zero. But the possibility is veru low so I suggest you still invest even if it is dangerous. Place money you're willing to lose.

There is nothing to be afraid of if you understand the cryptocurrency correctly. If you understand the basic cryptocurrency, you will surely know all the risks that must be faced if using it, either as an investment or commodity. That is what beginners often fear, prices are volatile, but that is a natural thing because cryptocurrency depends on market demand and supply.
Be calm and learn it all deeper, and you will not see any more fear.

For me is 50 50 basis I guess , because despite the value of bitcoin , investing through bitcoin can assure you have a good and better future but the price is unstable so you need to take the risk. It's either goes up and downs , because  of the demand on the marketplace.

Not at all dangerous if you have money to lose, but more of a risky kind of dangerous since bitcoins have a very unpredictable behaviour. The first hour it is priced ar $10,000, and then suddenly the second hour, it costs around $30,000. It sort of a seesaw type of movement.

presently I prefer investing my money on altcoins than investing it on bitcoin. Bitcoin is a failure to me already, not until they find a solution to the high  transaction fees and slow blockchain confirmation.

Bitcoin is risky but you must know how to work it out in order to gain.

In my own thoughts, investing in bitcoin is not dangerous but risky in a minimal level, you would have no fear of losing all your hard-earned money on investing with bitcoin because as we can see and observe its value rate is very stable and fast-growing. Which means any loss fron the last month could be recovered in the next. What's dangerous in my opinion is the fact that there are many scammers out there ready to put their hands down on your bitcoins. So as a rule of hand you should be mindful of what you surf on the internet and don't easily trust websites that ask for your bitcoin wallet or such.

They say investing in bitcoin is dangerous because you are not sure if it will profit because bitcoin has no stable value in the market.You must study first the currency before invest all of your asset.In short you must be smart.

You are right,BTC investment is risky,but there are also hide a big success in your because it can be more profitable..

Investing in bitcoin is a good idea but risky because the value of it is unstable that can fall down or raise up in a moment of time. But it's good idea because you can have a much profit when you keep holding it. Bitcoin value is continuously moving although it's value now is low but I'm sure that it will go back to it's high value like before. Just keep investing in bitcoin in a long period of time so that you can have a much profit and earn a lot of bitcoin.

There is a lot of knowledge that you can get from reading in this forum. bitcoin, harmless as some governments say. But I agree, if bitcoin is very risky. same thing as other crypto. all investments in Crypto are potentially at risk.

Technically, everything we do has its risks, so it all boils down on how confident are you in putting your money, time and effort on it. Just like the saying "No guts no glory!" :)

bitcoin is very dangerous, if, we can not minimize the risk
and, if we do not have great patience, it's about fluctuations, bitcoins change at any time without being predictable
If you are provoked by negative news, then you will lose yourself

I think you over-used the word "dangerous". It's not that dangerous like your life depends on it. It is risky, yes. Risky in all aspects and anything you can think of investment. It's hard to invest when you are scared to lose it. Investing is a risk-taking activity which one's money is lent to a certain person or platform for you, him, or the platform - make it grow. So never ever invest on something you never sure of.

not if you understand the basic concept of bitcoin, bitcoin must be properly learned first
before you dive in this crypto world
because if you do not have the knowledge capital, about bitcoin
then you will be difficult, even you will be destroyed by bitcoin

Investing in bitcoin is much more safer than investing in ICOs. You see, some ICO's are scam so if you really picked the wrong ICO to invest, then you're very unlucky. Also highly volatile is much more a good term to use than dangerous. There is nothing dangerous in investing in bitcoin.

It is not really dangerous and besides, all investment whether it is in real estate or not has risks involved. The same with Bitcoin that is volatile, but the thing in Bitcoin is that, for a long run, its market value is continuously increasing. It is just that at this moment, Bitcoin is experiencing contonuous backdrops which made its price low.

Yes Invest in Bitcoin and Forget few Years

It is very good to invest in bitcoin because now the era is changed from paper money to the fiat money and the advanced countries have some rules that in the 2018 the bitcoin and other cryptos will be legal for every thing it will be used as payments and those who have some knowledge and the expertise of bitcoin they will be the lucky people So investment now is a better strategy while investing in other way.

Investing a huge amount of cryptocurrency is very risky depending on how in depth your knowledge about the flow of market. There are investors today who are suffering a huge amount of investment loss because they tend to sell their coins even at the lowest price when there's a huge down time in the market.

You cannot say its dangerous, its risky. And risk will always be there even if you invest in bitcoin or any other crypto currency. But if you will invest now in bitcoin and hold them for atleast a year then most probably you will get good profit.

it doesnt matter whether you invest huge or small amount because they are still both risky. any invest is always risky and not just on cryptocurency . we do always need the risk in order to earn but if your only sticking on your comfort zone and not taking any risk , then you cannot possibly improve or become succesful in life. overall investing in bitcoin thesedays is still recomended because bitcoin has not yet reach its full peak.

It is very good to invest in bitcoin because bitcoin is the center of cryptocurrency now. And bitcoin is very volatile which make it to increase in a very short time. So for me, it is advisable to invest in bitcoin

Yes I agree with you!Investing BTC is the best idea to make our profits grow and on how it's really works to expand our income to considered as rhe best assets for our future.Thanks a lot of bitcoins because when it is exsist my profits also will go up high on it's value and how it can motivate for evry people right now.

BTC is dangerous? For me me BTC is not dangerous, all you have to do is read some articles here in BTC and read some thread about BTC. to know how to invest, sell & trade then where you can invest, sell & trade BTC. In doing BTC it not enough that you just invest, sell & trade by not knowing the right way because you might loose all the BTC that you have.

If you have the sufficient knowledge about bitcoin, you are not going to bear any kind of loss. Bitcoin has made lives of masses all over the world easier and stable. Those who were holding degrees but living a life of poverty are running their businesses just because of bitcoin. It is not dangerous.

I think investment in bitcoin is a very good source of earning income . Investment in bitcoin is much safer than investment in ICOs

Investment in the BTC can be very good and it will also give it a bad return. It depends on the amount of bitcoin when it is at a high price that is guaranteed to be great and profitable if the price is lower than that.

We can earn money so many way from bitcoin. Investment is one of the major way to earn money from bitcoin. There are so many people invest in bitcoin. Because bitcoin is a very secure to invest.

All investment has risk. The only risk in Bitcoin is its volatility but knowing that it is a normal thing, i think it is not that much of a danger. Bitcoin investment is surely profitable because the increase on its value is continuously increasing for a long run. Do not mind the dumps that much but rather take it as an opportunity to earn huge profit by investing whenever its markat value is falling.

How the hell , in a BTC forum and the answer of the "investing in Bitcoin" question ends up with a rather no answer ?

I would like to share my experience of earning money on the crypto currency invest in the KCC monitor project was verified personally by me.

Dangerous for what?)
for your capital  may be
for your life suppose no
Really didn't know what else you scared about?))

 ;D ;DYES, bitcoin can be dangerouse, but only for ho want a quick proffit invest... If you want be "rinch" in 10-20 years, invest a good quantity in BTC ;)

Why not you can undoubtedly  invest your money in Bitcoin because bitcoin is first decentralized and digital currency. nowadays bitcoin is most popular and most valuable all over the world. I think you should not say Bitcoin dangerous and its risky.Bitcoin price is now increasing and bitcoin has a bright future and bitcoin will be $25k in this year.

In my own point of view, i look in these both bitcoin and ethereum as good coins for investment, i am not particularly using it or anything else but i bought it for trading purposes only, and my bet is always bitcoin because this is the safest investment. ETH is also good and if i have extra more money to invest, i love to buy also this coin.

Of course there are certain risks, but if you want to make good money, then you need to accept these risks. But I've been investing for years, and so far everything's fine.

I do not see anything risky and dangerous in bitcoin. If you choose a competent strategy of earnings and correct, safe storage, then your earnings using cryptocurrency will be successful.

Bitcoin is a payment system that provides some more benefits as compared to that of traditional payment systems. It is not the instrument to earn speculative gains in the first place but still, most of us are doing it. This technology is still in the early phase of development and no is sure what is going to happen down the road so it is strongly recommended to invest not more than the loss-bearing capacity of the investor. Investing in Bitcoin without taking any information is more dangerous than investing in Bitcoin after knowing all the possibilities including 100% loss.

No, I don't think investing in bitcoin is dangerous. However it could be dangerous in terms of your money because it is not all the time your investment is profiting. So that I could say it would be dangerous to invest in a huge lump sum amount of money.

Yes. that is the risk that you to have to take and understand. How many newbies FOMO during the December peak? A lot. And how many got burned when the price plummeted in the last 3 months?

So its really dangerous if you don't know how and why are you investing on it in the first place. Don't think that its a quick rich scheme because its not, otherwise if you have that kind of mindset, then you will end up losing more.

The simplest way the Average Joe can invest in Bitcoin is to outright buy some. Buying BTC today is simpler than ever, with many established firms in the US and abroad involved in the business of buying and selling bitcoins. For investors in the USA, the simplest solution is Coinbase. The company sells BTC to customers at a mark-up that is usually around 1% over the current market price.



For Americans, Coinbase has an option to link your bank account to your Coinbase wallet. This makes future payment transfers easier. The company also offers automatic bitcoin buying at regular intervals. For example, say you want to buy $50 in bitcoins every 1st or 2nd of the month, right after you get your paycheck. You can setup an auto-buy for that amount on Coinbase. Take into account a few caveats before you start using this service. If you issue an automatic buy order, you will not have control over the price at which the BTC is bought. Next thing to note is that Coinbase is not a bitcoin exchange, you are buying/selling your coins directly from the firm, which in turn has to source them from other buyers. This creates issues or delays when executing orders during fast market moves.

Whether one should invest in bitcoin or not depends on whether you think Bitcoin will become a long-term trusted store of value.

If it does become a long-term trusted store of value, BTC should trade around $2,000,000 a coin (depending on how many coins are lost and are actually in circulation). That is over 100x the price of where BTC is today.

If BTC does not become a long-term trusted store of value, its likely price will be close to zero (unless it becomes a "cool" collectible... which is a possibility).

So if you think BTC has a 10% chance of becoming a long-term trusted store of value, it is a good investment with a nice expected return. It is still very risky but professional investors should invest some small portion of their portfolio in this case.

Bitcoin is a crypto currency, if bitcoin is dangures then all the cryptos too dangures like bitcoin. The up and downs of value based on its demand in crypto market. This risk included in whole cryptos. But we have to face this risk if you have a wish to earn more money.

It is risky to invest Bitcoin when it goes down and when it goes down, it does not go right. If you buy Bitcoin for a longer term, you may be able to profit because of price increases. But if the price decreases, you are more likely to suffer. So Bitcoin will have to invest in thinking. Investing in Ikote Bitcoin I think less risk father

There is nothing more or less risk in case of bitcoin. It contains the same ratio of risk that the other cryptos have.As per the popularity and experience in crypto market comparatively low risk is in bitcoin, so I think its the genuine crypto.

investing in bitcoin is a very profitable business! if you look at the past years, how capitalization has grown, you will see that it is growing in geometric progression! so I'm sure that in the next few years the price of bitcoin can increase several times! the more it is extracted very quickly and it gets smaller and smaller!

Meh thats not true. All investing is risky you know not just about bitcoin and we just need to underdtand how it work and we can gain a profit from it

There are risks, but they are minimal. Cryptocurrency is gaining more and more trust from people, and even governments are gradually ceasing to see bitcoin as an enemy. Therefore, invest and do not be afraid.

There's is no danger in in investing in bitcoin, it has less risk compare to ICOs and other cryptocurrencies.

Yes, bitcoin is not stable yet, its price is constantly rising, falling, but this does not mean that investing in it is dangerous. Bitcoin volatility is a normal phenomenon, it allows us to earn. So nothing to fear.

To invest in bitcoins it is safe and harmless. It depends entirely on you. You can continue your research on bitcoin markets and invest in secure bitcoins. If you can not know the details of bitcoin and its market policies you can fail and be harmful. 8)

Bitcoin is a high-risk asset without a doubt.
If you are financially constrained, I would recommend to refrain from buying this asset.

If you protect your bitcoin by organizing the right storage for it, you can avoid the minimum risks that are present when investing in cryptocurrency. So be afraid of nothing.
