Risks are inherent or always there whenever we talked about investment especially Bitcoin and the whole cryptocurrency community. But how do you deal with these risks? What are your experiences or even techniques in managing risks? In minimizing risks or even eliminating it?

Hedging and diversification.

Eliminating risk? Stay in fiat and accept inflation eating away on your savings. Minimizing risk? Know yourself and don't do anything stupid.

This means:

1) Understand what you're buying.

2) Don't invest into something only because it has risen.

3) Don't exit a market only because it has declined.

4) Understand what you're buying.

5) Invest only as much as you can afford to lose.

6) Prepare enter and exit strategies way in advance.


Number 1) helps preventing you from doing stupid things. If you don't understand what you're buying, you're just gambling. If you understand what you're buying, but know it's shit... you shouldn't be buying it in the first place. If you understand what you're buying and are convinced of its merits... number 2) and 3) will be less likely to affect you. Number 5) helps alleviate your psychological burden which makes it easier to not do stupid things. Such as 2) or 3) for example. Same goes for 6).


Note that hedging only helps if your hedge actually acts as one when shit hits the fan. Historical analysis may help the process, but could still fall short.

Note that diversification only works if what you are buying is worth investing in. A diversified bucket of shit, is still a bucket of shit.

1. calculate total of your asset do you want to invest (calculate too those asset that you've already invested in ICO and even that have been already in all of exchanger)
2. make a percentage (BTC, ALTS, FIAT) mostly different asset have different percentage or which one is become the biggest asset
3. when you want invest, just invest a money that you can to lose it, of course big risk big profit, but i wont that a risk like that, i more prefer to split it to other type of investment, not just all in at one place

Diversification and dollar cost average. Buying a fixed dollar amount on a regular schedule. Once a week, every two weeks, etc... And don't look at the price every day, a person can go crazy doing this.

Investment is a matter of risk. If you don't want to risk try not to invest. We don't know what will happens to our investment and even we take care to what we will invest and knows how to manage risky thing, there are investment that fools us! I believe that investment is a gamble, you need to sacrifice just to make gain. It is not about the risk management, it is all about the luck of yhe person who will invest.

All investment have a high risk because in investig we talking about money,liability,asset and etc. too many people dont know how to minimize the risk because they are lack of information of 1 company/banks/crypto/any other business.
If you taking a high risk situation in the field of business it means you are gambling wether you can have a good profit or have a big loss.

I only trade with disposable income and have a firm belief in having zero debt.   No mortgages, no credit lines, even my credit cards pretty much just sit there unused unless it's to purchase airline tickets or pay for hotels so as to accrue mileage points.   I also am invested across a dozen or so relatively independent markets.   So when my crypto holdings lose a third of their value in a month, I don't have to think to much about it.   I certainly notice it and yeah, it doesn't feel great to lose even if it's on paper, it's not something that is earth shaking.   

If you look at the risks that exist in every day life and compare the situation to crypto there can be some links drawn.

Look at driving a car, every time you head of onto the road you take a risk. Every day people die on the roads for a number of reasons, mechanical failures of vehicles, lack of awareness, lack of knowledge of conditions/rules. What do you do to minimise the risk minimise the potential effect of the risk. Pick reputable brands, only drive when your fit, learn the road rules of the country your in and have a look outside and drive to conditions.

Now compare these risks and mitigation strategies to crypto. Mechanical failures could be bad tech, so you pick a reputable brand. Bitcoin is well established and has a strong reputation. Look for trusted products and people.
Lack of awareness - do try and trade when your tired, dont make impulse decisions, think about what your doing and be in a state where you can really evaluate.
Lack of knowledge - do your research, i think crowd theory can work here to a degree. listen to and read as much as you can so you can make informed decisions. Keep on top of the current market, is it bear? is it bull? has something just pumped? has something become oversold.

Most importantly dont invest more than you can afford to lose.  

In bitcoin and altcoin investment, hedging is good way to manage the risk because we know the characteristic move of bitcoin and altcoin.
Other than that, there is one more aggresive way, thats martiangle. It can recover or more loss quicker.

every job has a risk, and risk can never be eliminated, and that is a natural thing
and I think this risk is comparable, with the profit we get, from bitcoin
to minimize, we just need to be careful, especially when choosing, if you invest with altcoin, you should be able to read the coin chart, and instinct is in need, you must have a sharp instinct
and do not ever miss the news, we should always uptudate

While diversification is a good thing in most markets, in the Crypto markets it's really not so. If you are to buy bitcoin and 100 other altcoins and bitcoin crashes 50 percent, the other coins are probably going to go down a shit-ton too. So one 'sector' of crypto is to have problems or crash, most of them are going to.

We don't really have many industries here, we're not like the real stock market.

To avoids risk in investing here are some tips;
1. Do not invest in a single investment. Diversification is necessary. (Do not put all your eggs in one Basket, by Rick Warren)
2. Study the history of an asset/coins you want to invest. (You can note which month it has a dip. Most of the price history repeats itself.)
3. The portfolio/platform of the an asset (Better coin has always may not all have a better platform)
4. Their Vision and mission. (People without vision perish so as to the coins or assets).
5. The people behind the asset/coins. (Expertise, strategy and knowledge always bring profits.)

Hope it help.

Maybe it's the initial reaction, bitcoin maybe the first in the market but when people realize that there are altcoins that has a better use than
bitcoin then we can get back their confidence again to invest. For me, I really make sure I can diversify my crypto investment as we never know if bitcoin
will remain in the number 1 spot all the time.

retain, meaning to tolerate the occurrence of losses, to prevent the occurrence of investment losses, as a result of such losses are provided funds to cope (eg other unexpected cost items in the investment budget)

For me to avoid risk when it comes to an investment. We should be aware of volatilily 'cause it always happened and need to make some analysis what are the circumstance of market, which where the price will go such up and down to avoid loses,  and the most important is to control our emotions when doing trading 'cause i think that is the common reason why we risk because of our emotions.

A risk is a scenario where you have something that you can lose. If you bought low and sold higher last year, you might have gained back your initial investment <ROI>

Last year the price went up with over 800% <So it should have been easy for most people to extract their initial investment>

That is how you reduce or eliminate risk. Get your initial investment back and trade with your profits.

I've experience also the lost in the market of crypto and bitcoins

big money was lost but soon after I have only a little money in my bitcoin wallet

then I just think positive and never stop understanding and studying the market

there's always a ways

to manage the risk in bitcoins and altcoins just do the following(this is my opinion)

1.before starting an investment with crypto and bitcoins understand how it works and understand the market behaviour
2.do not put all your money in one crypto experimenting and buying different crypto can save you when you lose in one crypto
3.Invest only what you can afford to lose do not invest big amount of money that you cannot afford to lose.
4.always think positive the markets always going down and down and down but sooner or later it will rise going up and up and up
5.patience is a virtue great things comes to those who can wait, cryptocurrencies are not one time big time scheme you need to work for it.

Well in my opinion knowledge in what you are trying to invest is important you got to study and gain knowledge about a certain ICO that you want to engage with this is your money you got to be sure on what you are doing before engaging in buying tokens of coins, Second see for your self the people behind certain ICO that you will put your money into if they are well known or if they have done remarkable in their life and they are not involved in certain issues, And lastly what I am always gonna say and partially saying to newbies and certain investors on putting their money on ICO and Altcoins to invest at your own risk we can never know the exact risk we are dealing here you can sure invest in long term or short term your decisions will sure play a big part in your success.

First know that the risk cannot be eliminated no matter how much planning and strategy you want to apply because you don't determine the price neither does it obey you. In mitigating against the risk in addition to what others have done although it might look difficult in keeping to those steps one thing is key BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DECISION.

Don't take any decision because everyone is taking that decision neither be discouraged from taking that decision because people are saying not to. The ultimate outcome will be borne by you. When price was $10000 a lot of people would have wanted to sell then enter later but because of what they see on the forum about someone giving analysis that price would increase in 24 hours they decided to wait only for it to drop further the same might go for increase. Now they blame themselves.

Agree that crypto tends to go up and down like sheep in the 'boat' but I'd still say diversification within crypto is still positive for risk management.   This month was far less bloody than it would have been if I was btc heavy only instead of heavy in both btc and eth.   Add to the fact that the underlying tech involved is fairly varied across the various coins so that means pos or neg news involving the good or bad of any particular tech is more likely to affect the relevant coins more directly as opposed to a crypto wide effect of such news.   A flaw in Tether likely won't bring down the price of Cardano for example in layman's terms.

I stick to the market simple tips:
1) I do not put all the money into the cryptocurrency
2) fewer doubtful operations based on rumors, as well as beware of any pump groups with huge profits.
3) fewer impulsive movements
4) did not manage to sell in time - wait

Well, as Buffett said "If you can not watch how the market falls by 50%, then you are not here! "

Here in bitcoin community or maybe in other cryptocurrency community, risk must be calculated since we do not know what can happen next after a single event. One of the steps you can take is to play safe. if you do not want to get involved in any bankrupt or any loss then playing safe is good, holding anything you have and wait for an opportunity. Another one is to check all of the possible outcomes of an activity that you can do. Measuring all of these can also measure the risk that you may take after those events.

I want to invest as much money as possible. Gold, stocks, bitcoins.
Then try to make a long-term investment and ignore short-term gains, so I think you'll be the biggest winner. ;D

It is very tough job to deal with loss because the main thing when the market go down it some time go down for many days and it creates bad impact to some investors because some investors feel trouble and sell it in the think may the market will go more down and we have more loss,

Eliminating risk could be inevitable in the world of cryptocurrency. I would rather study more about ICO's and always invest at bitcoin for a long term because it really pays off.

Knowledge will be a great foundation to reduce risk.

If your a trader, study the basic trading signals.

If your an investor, never invest money that you can't afford to lose.

Simple tips but the basics helps a lot if you improve it thoroughly.

Risk is there for any investment. It depends on how smart you're. The more stupider,the better.
Oh come on,risks are not always avoidable. Just take the damn risk and see the results,given you're smart or not too dumb.

there are people always saying that they are risk takers but when they get scammed they act like a kid crying and getting angry on the first place no one force you to join that kind of investments right you voluntary join in that kind of scheme then when something happens you do shit things wahaahaha I therefore say that if you want to  minimize the risk in you investment keep on learning the strategies and other things because only the educated person can only manage the risk

I think that whatever you do is definitely risky, it depends on you dare to risk it or not, better dare to face the risks that exist because I think the risk will give the results commensurate with the risks you take.

Due to the volatile nature of cryptocurrency, everything that involves a transaction on it is risky. Especially when it is undergoing its down days and all we can see is red. Investing in a stock like the cryptocurrency narket on bitcoin is a gamble of its kind. This is where we use our brains to filter and our guts to decide on whether we go all in or we fold and cut our losses. Very important that we know the risks before taking them that way we can minimize the damage

Knowledge is not enough, you must have capital management and psychological management

To handle the risk I usually do not buy bitcoin with all the money I have, and I make a reserve fund to keep up when the bitcoin price starts to drop and I buy it and that way I can reduce the risk.

Risk are always there when you're talking about earning money, especially when it come to investment usually the risk is high, the easiest way to deal with the risk is to diversify it, so when one of the coin failed at least you still got other coin, search the strong coin and aim for long term, if you invest in infamous coin aim for short term

Yes, all forms of investment are risky, we cann't completely eliminate that, we can only reduce them to a certain extent. I think that when investing, especially investing in cryptocurrency we need to have strategies, specific plans, learn about the market and select the best potential crypto. It is important to stay calm in all situations, not to lose patience. I'm not sure that these things will work but that's what I usually do before investing

you can not eliminate the risks as every investment is subject to the market risks,  but you can minimize it knowing a few things like,

the investment
the market trend
only investing your extra money
prepare a good entry and exit strategy
and most important is -The Plan B

Investment is also risky,i don't support them invest.you can get up crypto currency market knowledge,then you will understand investment is better for you or not it like that.i think if you have knowledge about investment then you definitely can not try it.my experience and my opinion just like this ...

If we are going to focus solely on risk in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, then one of they ways to manage risk when investing initially is to go for already established coins in the market (they maybe more expensive), this is because they have already acquired some track record. If you are going in for cheaper ones, and you have an eye for trading, then you shouldn't invest more than you are willing to loose. Now if you have invested, try and trade out slowly in the sense that if the market is favorable, and profits are made, you withdraw out your initial principal investment value, and what is left in the market for you, is your profits making more profits. This is all dependent on if the market is favorable, or you have the patience to wait for it on those times when they are favorable.

One important aspect is not to invest all you have in just a coin because it might be a failing coin.
To invest in what you have researched and believed. That is, always believe in yourself.
Grow your investment gradually because structures are not built in a day.

when we invest any thing,it always have risky,we have accept risky and risk management,we have to set limit to cut loss when the market fall down,i allways set 10% to cut loss,some time i hold for long time,2-3 year,i will invest with 20% my money,and i dont't see exchange and only holding

yes of course whatever we live is risky. if there is no risk of course we go all the way smoothly and live all well. because btc is very susceptible to the number of fraud then we need to be careful with the risks faced

I manage risks by knowing thoroughly the decision that I'd be taking, avoiding "quick" decisions to lessen mistakes that might get through. I always do fact-check and search the internet or other sources for legitimacy.

The higher and faster you want to earn is the higher you will need to take the risk therefore if you want to eliminate it then you don't want to earn big earnings in the fastest way because you are afraid to face the risk so better to minimize the risk than eliminate it to do this you will just invest what you can afford to lose but you should understand that the safer an investment, the lower the chances of making high returns.

Risk management its very important thing in trading - its a main rule which we all need to do . Never buy all at one we need split orders and enter to market in 5-6 steps of our depo.

Never trade more than 1-2% of your portfolio. Furthermore you can layer in into positions. For instance when you go long you don't have to buy let's say 0,1 BTC and then hope that price moves up. Of course you did your TA before open this postion. What I mean is you .025 first. With the next candle confirmation candle you add to your position and buy another .05. And then .025 again after that and your in with your 0.1BTC position. Averaging in is also a good way to reduce risk.
Other advise: Never FOMO in. Never ever do that. Or try to revenge trade if you lost before that. If you're emotional, the chance you'll lose is big.

yes you can just minimized the risk to be able to trade what you can always loose and never trade almost 50% or higher of your total portfolio

First if you want to avoid the risk of setting a decent small profit, do not use greed or wish it could put you at great risk, really looking for reliable information and think first before acting because most investors only see a glimpse of market conditions.

This market is very unpredictable so definitely, trading is a risky job, your profit will depend on how you will manage your portfolio when the market is fluctuating. newcomers will take panic decisions this is too risky you will lose your investment. so self-control and investing in good coins will reduce your risk in trading.

Risk can't be eliminated because if that would happen then definitely there would be no return. Because as what I understand about risk, it is simply like a return whether it can be a loss or gain. Well, it is really hard to explain when it comes to handing this risk. Those who involved in a big risk can also achieve big profit. This is why there is no specific reason when it comes to this issue.

Actually we have our kind of unique ways on how to trade, yes it is too risky and it's very difficult to manage. Actually when you will not gamble you can experience winning and success because losing is really part of the game.

The main thing is the right money management. Do not invest a lot of money in one coin, diversify your investment portfolio. And you reduce the risks to a minimum.

It is one of the crucial factors when it comes to the trading or investing. I have lost my 100% capital many times in my initial days of trading when I ignored this factor but over the time as I learned from the senior members and from my own experience, I believe that one should never invest amount more than his loss-bearing capacity even if he FEELS that he will get profit. There is no way to eliminate the risk but there are the ways through which we can reduce the risk and it mainly includes doing proper research, diversification of investment in terms of types and on the time frame and staying away from FUD/FOMO even in the worst market situation.

In every investment there's always a risk so you have to be ready for yourself on whatever happens for your money, its like a gambling that you don't know if you win or lose.

Create a business plan before investment to minimize your risks such as losing, inflations and many more. For the example, i have $1000 to investments in crypto, actually i can losing 100% and it's my risks then to minimize it i can using 40% from my assets to investing in some area differents. I still have a risks to loss all of my assets but i can minimize the risks with the plan like that.

When we invest in a certain area where we have less capital, we have to accept that there are risks because the market is going down naturally so we have to be patient in investing even if the coin decline

According my experience and what I learn, there are 3 ways to manage the risk in trading. Those are cut loss, switching, and averaging. I think all of them are technique that can be used by us.

One way of minimizing risks in investing is that divide your capital to various altcoins/ICOs. for example you invested to 10 altcoins, and 2 of the altcoins dumped but you still have the 7altcoins.

Nowadays risk management is itself a department in every organisation. Risk management refer to diversify the situation or find related alternative to minimize the losses.Risk management if well managed can improve the performance and fruitful results,Crypto world have also risk of loosing when market go down and risk of hacking,Facing these situations use powerful security tools and should invest in different coins if one side you loosing another side you will gain.

Well, you can’t avoid the risks that are involved, no matter how hard you try to avoid them there will still be times they will show up. This is a business that is very difficult and requires a serious study and deep understanding of the market before you will be able to make a difference.

When you become a professional in the business the chances are you will be able to make better profit, but there will still be some loss when you go through your portfolio or reports.

It has do with understanding the market and making accurate predictions of the next outcome which is not an easy for someone to do, the market can fall when you least expected it to.

Risk management refers to the risk of identifying possible risks of risk, analyzing them requires various steps to reduce the risk. For example, a fixed deposit is considered a less risky investment. On the other hand, investment in equity is considered a risky venture. While practicing risk management, equity investors and fund managers tend to diversify their portfolio so as to minimize the exposure to risk. So, to get bigger in life, you have to take risks.

Risk will always be there. You cannot eliminate it but minimizing it is possible with proper approach like position sizing, identifying trend, etc. Having a trading plan and respecting and following your plan can minimize your risk. Plan ahead of a trade. Plan before buying. Identify where to sell immediately if things don't go according to your bias.

Risk management is very important for every individual who have to venture on trading and investment because we all know that here in crypto world all is unpredictable and we all dependent on speculations based on project road map but in reality still the destiny of the coin will always rely on people if they have to patronize such platform, so market movement and changes is depend on the people.

Even we follow this procedures, we cannot say that our investment will 100% successful rather it will just lessen the risk of the people who want to enter the world of cryptocurrency. I believe that we need to risk always to gain profits, we should just have risk management in order for us not to lose. Our capital is just limited and we need to give importance whatever we will do with our money.

If something called as investment then it also comes with risks,the one who knows how to tackle all the risks will get more benefits.The only way to minimize the risk is by selecting the best coin to invest and the investment capital must be affordable for you to lose.

Uuhm… I think you’re very right, though I’m not very sure of that, but it do works. Why I said I’m not very sure of that is because altcoins do fall whenever the price of Bitcoin is falling. So I might have to say that investing only on Bitcoin is the same as investing in several altcoins. Cause whenever the price of Bitcoin (BTC) is going down, they follow it down the path, and whenever the price of BTC goes up they will also follow it up (though not all of them) I believe the best thing is to monitor the price as often as you can to be able to stop your loss. When I mean monitor the price often, I don’t mean a steady gaze on the price to know when you’re losing or winning, you can simply set a price notification.

This is the mistake of most people trading because they do not have a trading plan. Whenever they see a coin that is increasing then they will just jump in and buy immediately because it is hype and then when they were dumped on, they would whine because they lose a lot and they have no choice but to hold the coin or sell at a loss. The biggest mistake is that they go all in in one trade because they wanted to have bigger profit but more of often than not, the opposite happen and they have bigger losses.

This is one way of minimizing risk because you invested in various coins but in a bear market, it is possible that all the coins will be at a loss so even if you invested in one or ten coins, you still lose some value of your investment. If you wanted to manage risk then at least have an acceptable amount that you are willing to take as loss and then sell your coin. You can trade again and get back on track. It is better to lose 10% than 50% because you are still hoping for the value to go up.

There are no big ways to deal with risks when it comes to crypto, once you're here it's like trading penny stocks. All of your money could be gone in a matter of seconds (this is also possible with other securities, but the risk of it happening in crypto is much higher)

You can't really diversify in crypto, it's not really possible -- as all coins go down when the market starts to shift. THis could stray with a couple coins, but it doesn't work NORMALLY.

The most basic rules for minimizing the risks in investments are their diversification, and do not invest all the money

To manage the risks you need to have a trading plan, do not put eggs in one basket, have the knowledge of technical analysis. And most importantly, do not invest the amount at loss of which your financial position will be shaken!

I agree. also in the exchange trade, you must constantly use stop-loss. This is often forgotten by beginners. and do not invest in all shitcoins

all in terms of investment it is no risky.

we take his example of building a hospital, the hospital had a purpose to care for people skait.

the risks of the hospital are:
- What if it's not a patient?
- How if his medical equipment is lacking?
- how does employee pay?

it's all a risk is not it?
same thing with Cyrpto.

We should have to make our own strategic plan in able to satisfy our goals. We should have to bare in mind that we have to be wisely in every decision especially when we have to go through an investment which it is a mandatory call to not putting all our eggs in one basket. And if we'd going to invest in one coin we should study it first and check it's background.

If I am not sure with the things I am going to do or with the decisions I am going to make especially if I know that it is risky, I consult other people. People I know that are properly educated with the things I am dealing with. If I am not really sure with things I am entering and others cannot give me a right advice, I always go to safe. Like example in trading 50% sale 50% hold after receiving tokens from bounty

One is by diversifying your portfolio. You need to put your money into different coins so that if Coin A became a shitcoin, there is Coin B and Coin C that you have and you can profit from that coins.

Second is by doing some research. By doing research especially if you are an investor, you will reduce the risk you have because you know already where to put your money into.

Third is useful in trading. Risk - Reward Ratio. Use this in order for you to become a successful trade. What is this??? Use google to search :).

The best risk management is to never sell. No matter how long it takes, crypto always recover except if it got delisted. So choose your altcoins very carefully because even it does not reach your expectation, be sure that you can still recover your investments from it.

Good analyzation is taking you away from risk we should be aware of our coin movements in market maybe we should keep the coin until the coin give us profit. Panic selling is the worst thing we could do cause there will be a probability that coins will make us regret in the end and also dont let emotions controls your trading strategies.

Yes you only trade with disposable income and have a strong belief to have zero debt. No mortgage, no credit line, even your credit card pretty much just sitting there that is not used unless it's to buy a plane ticket or pay a hotel so it earns mileage points.Diversified and average cost of dollars. Buy a fixed dollar amount on a regular schedule. Once Thursday, every two Thursdays and others. And do not look at the price every day, someone can go crazy doing this.

One of the key features of business-business risk management is risk management. Risk control is needed. Where there is less risk, there is one way to make money by investing. There is a business in the business, put all the eggs in different containers without putting them in one container.This will scatter your risk differently. This can be a lot of risk management.

  Look dude, you would never be leaving behind the risk factor. It never leaves you anywhere so just try to cope up with this along the way. Whenever you are interested in some earning thing and especially when it is just a source of income and there are profits and losses as well. So don’t just be foolish to afraid of this risk. It never harm you if you better know how to take it the path.

This thing do matter most on a certain individual control when it comes to risk management.There are lots of things that can be done but it would end up into your own knowledge and discipline on the things you are engage into specially when we do talk about investments here on crypto which the risk would always been the volatility which management would really be needed up for you to sustain and to lessen the risk of losing money. Number one thing that can help you out is your experience and knowledge,if you are fully aware on how crypto prices do moves you can able to make your own idea to trade.

Risk is really the big problem that the investors faces nowadays,
if you can  manage all the risk that can occurs therefore it help you that you can avoid the possible losses which may arise soon.

There is one way to make money by investing. Buy a fixed dollar amount on a regular schedule. The only way to minimize the risk is by selecting the best coin.

Let us walk through the basics of trading quickly. Every trader has to know underlying  of trading. There are
1 the money management which manages risks
2 the psychology which keeps emotions under control
3 the essential knowledge of trading which traders use before making any deal.

I am absolutely sure that the money management is the most important part of trading

Risk in Crypto investments cannot be eliminated but it is important to ensure that our investment losses never exceed acceptable boundaries. This can be achieved by disciplined practices including diversification, valuation, loss prevention and exit strategies. First we have to acknowledge the risk as the amount we lose during tough time determines how much we have to make during good times to meet our financial goals.

For now in order to manage well with the current situation, we should be patience at all times. Never monitor from time to time whne the current blockfolio you had wasn't good to see. Risking all your coins could give you a good future, and since you're going to face this challenging situation its a great accomplishment when the price pumped to higher price soon.

The experience of dark is not much but I advise you should not hold coin long. If you see a coin increase should sell immediately, if hold too long will easily lead to losses or hackers. And then, when you lose too much, you are affected by emotions, it is not good, you need relax long times until emotions no  affect the trading.

I am not really a risk-taker person, I prefer entering a low risk low profit than
high risk high profit. It's like more defense than offense, I enter a trade only
when it shows strong simple bullish pattern or formation, it is safer that way.

Their are quite some ways I use in managing risks. I mainly invest what I can afford to lose when I want to make investments. Also,.when I research on coins as well, I do make good research so as to curb my risk and manage my investments well and if a token I have isn't doing well, I try to find out why its not doing well and try to manage the risk by adding more tokens at lower prices or cutting losses to invest into something else

Theres no such word when you do talk about safer way as long you do invest there always a certain risk. Going with the flow or bullish trend is a good idea but anytime volatility would always be your enemy and as a trader you should really be extensive or flexible into any kind of situations where risk management would really be crucial because it would cost up money if you do make such wrong decision.

Risks and losses are innately part of trading and investment. Cryptocurrency is very volatile, unpredictable, and uncontrollable. However, I still believe that this can be overcome if we commit to explore more knowledge, learn how to strategize, familiarize its nature, be aware of risk factors, and to continue educating ourselves. We must stay positive, patient, hopeful that whatever challenges we may encounter we all can survive and to never be afraid to fail. Let's take a look at the brighter side.

The risk will be always depending on how much investments you have made and that is the reason why you cannot manage on how much risk you are going to get if you are investing a huge amount.

Good risk management. I'm very satisfied

As you have said risk are always there when it comes in investment specially in bitcoin or in any cryptocurrencies. Yes its probably true, but always remember this mate, the higher the risk that you can take the bigger earnings will you can make in the future, just make sure that you always make the best and wiser decisions for every investment that you do.

For investors with volatility is so high, the rewards are great but so are the risks, Investor's should ensure that they only invest what they can afford to lose , Do their due diligence on their investments which includes understanding the technology, the and look for a prototype rather than a wild concept , Additionally investors should always be on the lookout for phishing scams and suspicious emails.

Risk management is one the things that most traders fails to take seriously in their quest to trade. Cryptocurrency is highly volatile and to keep track and be in profit, portfolio management is one of the things to strictly follow and maintain in order to avoid huge loss. Always have a strategy of how you divide your portfolio these helps in mitigating risks. Some should be for daily trading, some should be left in bitcoin while some should be reserved for HODL and that way you won't be chasing the wind.

If money involved or betiting investing just literally everything comes with risks nothing is certain from this world even raising a child can be risky because you never know how will that child grow up and how will that child can handle task in the future. Trading means buy and selling the risk comes in when you buy whether you will hold it or not it's up to you if you have a plan but if not then your destined to be doomed.

Emotions will take place when we are talking about huge amount, there's a big difference between the actual capital investment that we place into our assets, better to make extra effort in dealing with how much we can take the risk, we need to have good skills analyzing the possibilities and potentials and how long we can hold and how we take loses just in case things won't work according to our plans. risk management is one of those many tools that also needs to study well before entering the market.

Risk management is a broad subject in the academic record and now the people are very expert in this field and i hope that risk can be managed through portfolio analysis and risk is not eliminated but it will manage through skills and talent.

To make risk lower in cryptocurrency investment is always lock some persentase of profit to fiat. You should have more than 50% portfolio in fiat, and for trading always use stop loss to avoid big loss when the price dump hard. Also we should be set target profit because without it we will become greedy and finally loss much money.

For me, managing my risks is so simple for me. I do go all-in in all my trading but I do put stop-loss and when that trade goes different with what I want then I get to another trade and make it good.

Without the control of its risks, it is very difficult to become a successful trader in the crypto currency and in General everywhere. When it comes to trading cryptocurrencies, the importance of this increases even more, as this market is very volatile and full of surprises. Controlling your risks by more than 60% guarantees you success.

No one has certain rules and requirements, they simply do not exist, because each scenario requires an individual approach. Each trader develops it in accordance with their views on the market, trading plan, mood and goals and emotions.

One of the main things that can destroy all the profits of the trader is greed. When you see that the price rises higher and higher, it is best to close this position, but here it comes - Greed! Everywhere the forecasts for further growth, profit and exultation, but here lies the main catch! It should be clearly understood that the stop is sure to be. Be sure to come correction or collapse and then you will regret that you have not sold your position on time. So it happens in 95% of the case I guarantee it! Therefore, if you are a trader, not a long-term investor, you need to gradually fix the profit without waiting for the collapse. The exact moment depends on the fuel supply of the coin and your ambitions.

Always take profit in small parts, one thing is for sure: sell should be on the way to the top and not on the way back down the slope. Do not try to sell the entire position at the top - you are unlikely to succeed. If you are not able to watch the rally in real time, place sell orders in advance.

Don't forget about diversification.
Another key aspect of risk management is the diversification and size of the portfolio, never invest all your money in one asset, no matter how awesome it may seem, no matter what promises its development team makes, and no matter what the excitement around it flares up. This may be a deliberate trap and you will fall for it. Never go all-in!
In a secure portfolio, capital should be distributed between at least ten different coins, preferably more.

 Another important rule: one coin should not account for more than 10% of your portfolio. In exceptional cases, if the coin grows at an incredible rate - up to 20%. If the price rises higher and higher, it is sure to end sometime. Therefore, it is advisable to sell such a position on the way to the top and switch to looking for another coin with the best risk/profit ratio.
Be careful and trade with your head, I hope all of us will succeed!!

Each time they see a coin that is increasing then they'll just leap in and purchase immediately because it's miles hype and then after they were dumped on, they might whine because they lose lots and that they don't have any preference but to hold the coin or promote at a loss. The biggest mistake is they cross all in in a single change because they desired to have bigger profit however extra of often than not, the alternative occur and they have larger losses.

Never invest on the amount that we cannot afford to loss. The only risky thing in crypto is when we invest all we have , we maybe end up losing or winning here and nobody knows what will be the next big thing or trend in crypto feild but one thing for sure we don't have any assurance here everything may change without a prior notice and everything is just a prediction nobody knows what will happen in crypto in the next few days or month so let's take good care and be more practical on it.

the risk in trading that often happens is because of the fault of the trader himself, sometimes they forget the target they are achieving, and always want to take more profit.
how to manage it is to set a target when going in and out of trading.

When we put money in to crypto we should know the risk, the level risk for crypto is higher than others asset because the volatility also higher. And to manage the risk we should have skill and knowledge when best times to invest in crypto and how long to invest on it and what the target profit. After target profit reached we should has diversify risk by move the profit to the others asset that has lower risk.

My best practice is to never buy a coin that has already reach 10x it's ICO price or its starting price the first time it got listed on exchanges. We cannot predict if it goes up and down but we can make sure that we are taking less risks and the people who bought btc last December are my main examples of that mistake.

I think to be able to control the risk that you are better off using your trading capital partially and trading only for short or daily periods, don't let you look for more profit because it will wait too long and eventually make you trapped at a very expensive.

One managing the risk of loss is not to place all coins in one basket. You can share the money you have to buy bitcoin and some altcoins. One coin and the other will support if one loses.

Different people have different risk management. But there is a common relation and adjustment about some basic risk. Here are some. While trading never try for overtrade. Overtrade mean if you see that your opened trade go on wrong direction and you have hope for the trend can be go right or you can reduce lose if you make another trade in the same time and in the same pair. Always try for make trade with maximum 2% from your total deposited amount. No target, no greedy and no trade against trend.

Good post, I totally agree with this. This is actually the right way of managing risk.
Thanks for sharing.

Risks in crypto-currency investments cannot be ignored or eliminated, it should however be managed to levels which will not be detrimental to your portfolio, a good way to do this is in investing in research of projects and diversification

Their are various ways to manage risks. You should use a small percentage of your funds to take risks and to manage your money very well. You need to manage your risks very well

First of all, you have to know and understand what you want to risk... Understanding it requires researching and getting as much information as you can about it.
When you are investing, invest with the amount you can afford to loose, don't put in something you will cry for rather something opposite so you don't suffer emotionally and financially if you loose.

First you need to have tight stop losses to avoid the huge loss that wipes you out.  Second I would suggest diversifying your holdings into different sectors and different market caps.  This may cushion you in case of market troubles.  These 2 when combined can be very effective. 

Problems in tight losses is that its an easy hit of fluctuations

Exchanges knows about it, they will basically hit those losses before going reversals

what would be the safest is to have a little to no leverages on margins, thus if you have an already open order, you don't have to worry and just wait

In the crypto-currency market, risks are associated not only with the loss of the cost associated with the collapse, but also with fraud and theft, in order to avoid the latter it is worthwhile to apply a number of actions that will at least partially preserve the asset ;)

Most of the best hedge fund managers lose 80% of their trades, but they are mitigating risk properly so they are not losing a lot of money just more trades, while the 20% they win make the entire year of their profits.

If I am thinking of entering a trade, I will do my best to minimize risk,
for example I wouldn't enter a trade if it doesn't show strong bullish pattern,
or something like that.

I think this risk will still exist and you must be able to face the risks that exist to be able to get a lot of profit, do not be afraid to face risks, to be able to control the risk at least you already have trading skills.

Risk management, I would say is the key feature that every trader has to think about before starting his activities. it should be included in every trading system and carefully calculated before every single trade.

 Isn't this like a rich persons problem? I do not have enough money to invest into something to have some risks with it.
I spend most of my money into living and whatever I have left usually just stays with bitcoin and nothing else because honestly I do not have enough money to diversify into one hundred different stuff, I do have some investments here and there however in the end I do not really put too much into them, I have a bit on many things but that is not risk management that is just having little amounts of everything and just checking which one will make more for me, kinda like a personal race for me. In the end none of them will make rich for such a small investment.

A really key feature. There is no way one cannot experience the risky nature of the market, most especially as traders, and for this reason, it is very important to learn as that is the only way you can manage the risk at hand and find a way to always make the market be in your favor and even if it does not end up being in your favor, you will still be able find a way to minimize the risk that comes with trading the market. Planning, principle and careful consideration are the greatest attributes and skills a trader should have.

I think the risk cannot be eliminated, but it can be minimized. if you are an investor, to minimize risk is long-term investing. don't listen to daily news that makes crypto currencies worse. don't monitor daily prices. and close the temporary market. then you open again after more than 6 months.

As for me it looks like this: less risk - less profit, more risk - more profit, of course we have to deal with potential losses but without a risk we can't hope to get good profits.

I always keep some fiat money in bank account, and stable cryptocurrency in exchanges. I don't do day trade even it is bitcoin, mostly hold and sometimes trade to increase fiat.

There is always going to be risk in every investment and the only way you can be able to get a better advantage without the risk affecting you is to have the knowledge of the market you are in or the investment you are in as the case may be.

A lot of people tend not to utilize that part of knowledge of their environment and this is why they make the wrong decisions in a risky environment and with that, you are bound to fail.

There is no way you can eliminate risk for good, this is investment and there will always be risk in it. It’s then left for you to avoid it completely or maybe minimize the loss. If you talk about minimizing risks, then how you do that is by cutting your loss when the price is down and investing back when there are signs it will go up again. And by doing that (cutting loss) you’re going back into it when the price is low, which means that there are chances of making huge profit when it goes up.

Well bitcoin's really not a good option for day trading if you ask me. Though i like your idea of having a stash for trading, holding and keeping in fiat. Best way to manage risks is to keep a lot of options available as contingency.

Bitcoin is just like any other investment there is always a risk of losing or gaining its just like the stock market it goes up and down everyday but we still invest in it just remember do not put all your eggs in one backet and never invest more than you are willing to loss because there will always be risks.

To avoid the risk of money in the investment, it is best to invest in small amounts and gradually withdraw money from the initial investment. Only invest on the available profit. That makes you comfortable and has the right attitude.

    You can eliminate risks, but you can take steps to lower the risks you confronting. I think that everything is in the head! When you know that everything
is in your head, only with control over your mind you can deal with it. My technique with crypto-currencies is the same like with my job. I plan something,
I plan it the best I can, I execute it and I hope for the best. There is no stepping back, or withdrawing.
   The biggest problems comes in hard times. In tough times, people panic, people do crazy thing. I`m trying to be calm and do nothing that can hurt my plan.
I try to improve my plan if I can, to add something more, never to cut loses and quit!

Now i have some knowledge how to minimize the risk and to maximize the profit in crypto investment. With high volatilitas crypto will offer high profit even 10 times amonth or 50 times in acouple month, and when reach that profit we should move the money in to others asset that has low risk profile, like gold or stocks. We should be have difersify risk to avoid big loss from down trend of crypto.

In my own opinion, it was hard to mange risk because the coins potential is not the same, that is the reason why you should always look at the potential of the coin before investing a huge amount.

I think you should have a better ICO analysis skills to get good rewards. Because I've been scammed by some lending projects and unmanaged projects. So how to overcome this is to look at the members of the business and do not participate in a campaign with too high bonuses. They are completely fraudulent.

If you are talking about investing, then there is no way to avoid risk. This is a shark market and they manage the market. I think investing in the Crypto market is risky but you will become rich if you invest in the right time.

Risks are part of life and there is no success without risk, but in crypto there different levels and type of involvement and each has its risk requirement. In trading, using a stop loss helps while making an investment, it is what I can afford to lose

We should think about companies and different organizations why they need managers and good management and why they consider it important. If you have no proper management then everything will go irregularly which may affect your procedure. Want to stay away of risks then you have to manage things properly that is why successful people are on the track of success.

Now I just try to choose cryptocurrencies more carefully, which are supported by real activity, an experienced team and the demand for products and banal take profit when any of them achieve 100% growth

Risks is integral part of business and trading inclusive. The risk of loss is the risk involved trading cryptocurrency. The first law to obey in risk management is never invest more than you can afford to lose. Develop a trading plan, determine your Take profit level  (TP), determine your stop Loss (SL) and set it. There is issue of lot size which is based on the trading capital you have. If you have  a minimal trading capital it is advisable that you trade with a mini lot size of 0.01. The lot size is directly proportional to the profit you make that is why you should not be greedy. There is another problem with loss which is emotion. You must control your emotion which has greed in it. Do not revenge trade, this is the most agent of loss and makes you to take unnecessary risks. Revenge trading is when you lose a trade and you want to recover that loss immediately. This will make you to increase your lot size  which if by chance you lose the trade a chunk of your trading capital will depleted.

Rather, the person should not just have ICO analysis skill but general market analysis skill to be able to manage risk. Risks are involved in investing, trading or whatever you want to do and the idea is to be able to know what the risks are, how you can save yourself to some extent from experiencing those risks. With that knowledge, you will certainly be able to discard things that would subject you to a higher risk and be able to make do with what you can.

Even outside cryptocurrency, there are risks everywhere and we can’t hide from them, it is knowledge that can only help us to minimize them. Most commonly, investing only with long term potential of the market where we are getting into is also considered as kind of managing risk and not just how you are buying the market.

Risk management involves a lot of things and as long as you can identify the risks with one of them being not bag holding a shit coin, then you will certainly be able to make decisions to minimize those risks. Risks are always there and the only way anyone can ever get the best from the market is to understand them and put up precautionary measures to limit them.

I guess that is the basic idea when it comes to choosing cryptocurrencies. In this case, you have identified the risk when it comes to picking a shit coin, or when it comes to bag holding one and you would not want to be a party to it, which is where the knowledge on how to manage that comes in.

Now, it does not necessarily have to be cryptocurrency as it could be any other stuff, but the idea is to always be equipped enough to manage them and take precautions when you are dealing with things that involve certain risks.

Risk Management/Money Management is an integral part of trading. But this important part is more often than not relegated to the abyss because of greed. I cite myself as an example. Despite my few years in trading I had often overlooked it until recently when I got tutored of its importance.

This is how to calculate it:
Risk (The amount you want to stake) divided by Stop Loss multipled by ¹/10...

Risk/SL * 1/10

For investors, capital management is widely used for risk management. Trader Funding usually deals with issues such as determining the risk tolerance level (the amount of loss accepted) before placing an order, the appropriate stop loss area, how to stop loss.

Some traders are risk takers, for some who can take the bad news should invest on cryptocurrency the funds they can loose don't put in all your all. That's my candid advice.

Now time in corporate life risk management is a very important term.One should khow how to manage it properly because profit depends on it.Experience and capable people are needed to handle this perfectly.

The risk management works at any market. However in the cryptoforeign exchange market it works much worse than at financial.

It's studied and research well nowadays, as investors/traders are very strict in terms of taking the risk, as we knew by the fact that in any investment
business people needs to understand the actual potentials and possibilities, knowing your grounds and positioning yourself with stop loss will be able to
give you some extra precautions losing your entire capital.

We should always have the guts in taking the risk of managing especially our investment as we don't know when we are going to have profit as the price of the market are unstable that is why it is no also advisable to invest all the money that we do have, invest just some portion of it but not all.

The first thing that a market participant should do is he is engaged in investing or speculating, this is to allocate such a quantity of money that he can lose with complete peace of mind. Psychologically, this mark is at the level of 10% of the monthly income. If you plan to further professionally engage in this kind of activity, do not at all trade in borrowed money taken from relatives, friends or banks. Marginal trading should be approached with the utmost caution, since in this case extracting potentially high profits involves a significant risk.

Many newbies loss money in crypto because greedy,  FOMO and does not use stop loss. This all thing is enemy of all trader and we have to control and manage it to get profit in crypto. Crypto trading without use management of risk and money is the same like put money in gambling.

Risk management is a very important as a cryptocurrency trading part. If you want to start trading so you should learn about risk management without risk management you can't make a better result in your trading. At first you have to know about money management and most important is control emotion then you automatically safe risk management in your trading.

Yeah, and they are always going to be a part of our lives generally. However, the way we are able to minimize those risks depends on our level of knowledge with respect to those risks, how to manage them and how to always take advantage of some of the opportunities that follow it.

As much as a lot of people say you should always learn to take risks, but at the same time, I will say, if you take risks without plan and knowledge on how to manage those risks, you will always fail.

Well, you're right, because every action will have a risk, especially about investment and that in crypto. because crypto has a very volatile value. how to overcome risk or reduce risk? we can overcome, but cannot eliminate. except stop investing. the way is:
1. Don't use full capital on investment. you should only use 1/3 or 1/4.
2. Don't invest in only 1 coin. if only on 1 coin, it should be part of the capital for backup. and partly to buy coins.
3. Invest in several coins because it can reduce the risk of loss.
4. keep calm when you see the dump price. and keep holding for the long term.

Yes, this should be the right way to do it but then many are still panic buying because they have heard from someone that the particular coin is a good buy so they would immediately buy and much worse are those who participate in pump and dump because they want quick profits and what usually happens is that they would just lose their capital because those who are organizing it are dumping their coins to them. Risk management is important in all aspects of life and more especially when it comes to finances so that you will know how much you are willing to lose.

It’s not too difficult for you to minize the risk. Because there are some fundamental factors includes knowledge, skills as well as experience that improve your effort in order that you can reduce the risk. First and foremost you’d better prepare an intimate knowledge, this factor is really neccessary for you because obviously it helps you to understand more, or to analyze the fluctuation of coins easily and efficiently. Besides, having a wealth experience and skills, it will bring you a big benefit as well, which can help you to make a decision accurately. Generally, you should learn from your mistake and most importantly, don’t make the same mistake twice.

Most of them i only use to trade in bitcoins and ETH as their are volume of trades and it is very easy to trade for 1 or 3% of trading as its price fluctuates very fast. Other altcoins i trade only after seeing their volume of trade and which way they are trading. This are the risk managed by me.

No one can to eliminating the risk, but we only possible to minimize it. I think all kind of job, business and others investment have each different risk. All thing that we can do in daily life has risk. In trading we can minimize the risk by build management of risk and money.

yeah there are a lot of strategies to reduce risk such as capital management, of course that is a good thing because you can allocate funds that precisely look at the risks involved in the investment, besides that there are certain aspects that you have to analyze so you know when the right time to buy and sell is a strategy to reduce risk..

I usually trade in several crypto, it aims to minimize the risk because when one crypto trading get loss, I have to get benefit from other trades, so I can cover each other.. and the most important thing is don't be too ambitious to get big profits, if you already feel to get profit, then make decision to sell it

risk is part of every decisions we do, we just need to overcome it and learn to take right decisions to be successful.
