Hey guys, why do you think people are afraid to afraid in crypto? I mean you don’t risk when you invest 100$, it’s not a lot and you can get 1000$ in a few month.

Can't you see that the space as changed, mostof the ICOs these year are all below the ICO price, so hy do I need to invest in a project that is going to lose value as early as it touches exchanges, I invested in all these project these year and they are all below the ICO price, Naponion X, DAOStack, SynFAb, EDT, AdBank, and Neourotokens

But chances of truning those 100 dollars into 1000 dollars has dropped recently a lot mate! There is no way that any ICO might just turn your 100 bucks to 10x in short period of time these days. Those golden days has gone already and now is the time where we need to take lot of effort to find a perfect ICO to invest in. Almost more than 70-80% of the ICO seem to be scam one and thus you will need more than 100 ICO to be joined per month to get hit by at least 20 of the good ICO's around the globe. However that does seem to me very impossible these days.

Its not that risky if you invest into them when they are in the exchangers.

Maybe because most of the altcoin are just pump and dump only in the trading market, then in the ico project campaign majority of it are scam,

or not fulfilling their promises during the campaign period of time because they run away. And some are afraid due to lack of knowledge in

crypto currency and bitcoin. 

if you are saying it is guaranteed to multiple our money into cryptoshpere,i think you made it wrong dude.
there are many factors can determine the price,such as global adoption,crisis and many more.if goverment choose to ban the cryptos completely,does not that mean the price will be declined greatly ? or even it could die.because of that many people felt hesitated to join the crypto,on the other hand many people who know nothing about cryptocurrency got caught by those scammers,they're doing an ICO and after completed the sales they ran away with it.i heard a lot of people got burned because of that,
and the victims will tell other people to not join the crypto because it's a scam or ponzi scheme.
wait until it's adopted by people globally,until then people will realiaze it's their future and no longer hesitate.but for now,it's still far from it.

If there were less scams, or just failed projects and of course it would be easier, but $ 100 for many the amount that is sorry to lose.

Because not all coins is legit, there is a scenario that they 100% trust crypto and invest in a good coin they think , but they didn't search a lot about that coin because they 100% trust crypto so now their money was lost because of that scammed coin. That's why they afraid to invest in crypto.

There are a bunch of reasons but the few that first come to mind include

-scarred of scams
-not enough knowledge
-don't know how to invest
-don't know how to evaluate cryptocurrencies
-don't know where to get Bitcoin or open any type of wallet

It's not a question of throwing an " easy " $100 that most people can affordt to lose. it's about an UNREGULATED space where the minority control the majority of the market. Like BTC old adopters who owns like 50%+ of the circulating supply, as you can see they are manipulating the prices whenever they feel like.

Crypto isn't the safest place to invest tbh, YES it's profitable & the ROI can be huge BUT you can be burnt too like to what happened to those who joined in the last December 2017 bull run.

I'm personalyl not against crypto to be regulated to avoid such silly manipulation & profiting only the minority (AKA old adopters of BTC).

Not everybody is afraid. Some are investing especially those that know how to manage risks in parallel with profits >:(

It doesn't happen everytime. You will have to look for something that will make your $100 tenfold the amount in a month.
Not all have the same experience as you did, if that is what happened to you.
Some are broke now because of the fake ICO that looks like a real one at pre-ICO.
You will find a lot of that here. They cannot be identified when they are good at it. Moderators here will do a lot of work if they will filter every ICO that will posts here. You have to do your own job to protect yourself from them.

Who is afraid of investing in crypto? I have invested in crypto since more than four years and I do not need to take a regular work anymore. I live frome my crypto investments (and meanwhile stock investments which I made from crypto money) and from crypto work in general. All the people that are afraid investing in crypto are people which usually do hard work for less money but miss the one in a lifetime chance in my humble opinion.

I think that people are afraid to invest in crypto because they do not know how to work blockchain and cryptocurrency. Crypto helps make money, but with the help of cryptocurrencies you can earn big money. Any investment is already a big risk, so people are afraid.

It is not everyone who is afraid to invest in cryptocurrency point of correction, it is those who are not knowledgeable about the resources herein and so ignorant about the power in cryptocurrency but anyone who has tasted the power of cryptocurrency understands the business and is willing to invest a thousand times though there are ups and downs.

A lot has to come in place when you say you want to invest in a project, you invest because you have found a future in the project, or you have found something out of the box about a project or Team.

why people are scared to invest?

A lot has to come in play when you want to invest in about any asset class,  you invest because you want a return over time. Most people are afraid to invest in crypto because of many factors, they don't have sound knowledge about cryptocurrency/blockchain as a whole and/or they are too lazy to do their due diligence.

Though crypto is volatile and prone to sca.m you have to be vigilant and be able to do some google search about the project to determine if you can find any red flag. it requires you to do lots of in-depth research which require a lot of time.

Most people are lazy to do their research, that's why they are scared to invest in crypto. Those who know what they are doing and fully understand the technology aren't afraid to invest.

happy investing.

But you actually can loose your fund because of scam or price start falling down. Today investing in crypto is risky.

Yeah and those are very valid reasons to be afraid. People like stability and you can't just find that in crypto a lot of the times.

They are afraid to invest because the market is very high-volatile and therefore there is so much fear around it.

We could not blame those people who afraid of investing in crypto, probably they do not know much about cryptocurrency that's the reason the did not get involved in this world of crypto. We know if they have time to learn about a crypto an easy way of earning money for sure they will do it because people now always find an easy way of earning money.

A vlog (or video blog) is a blog that contains video content. The small, but growing, segment of the blogosphere devoted to vlogs is sometimes referred to as the vlogosphere.
Some bloggers have included video content for years. However, vlogging is becoming more common as equipment becomes cheaper and supporting software and hosting and aggregation sites become more prevalent. Both Yahoo and Google feature video sections and many MP3 players, such as the hugely popular iPod , support video.

These are what mostly people thinking by investing cryptocurrency business are something risky and they are afraid of losing their money, and those are negative ideas only, because many people who become successful on cryptocurrency business are those people who thinks positively by putting large capital by investing on cryptocurrency business and does not afraid on any risky thing to happened.

Someone is afraid of losing money because of high volatility, who speaks for the unsteadiness of the market and how much the bubble will burst.

Well, I think they are afraid mate because they haven't experience and try to invest on it. It doesn't matter if their going to risk since the important thing we need is to spread the positive impact if ETH in our financial aspect.

Most people are afraid to invest in crypto currency because they say that the market is unstable and may burst in any second.

Very often there is such a situation. The big investors, less are going worried. And small investors are always more worried. I think everything because they invest early they need to start to need have normal capital and then think about investing

People who are afraid to invest in crypto are either uninformed or misinformed. Most haven't really done their own homework to read. They just listen or follow other people's opinions.

People are afraid to invest because of the experience they had early this, bitcoin for example went as high as $20k, many people bought bitcoin at that price hoping it will go up further, rather it start dropping to as low as 5k so i believe that's why people are afraid

They don't know crypto so it's the best to be afraid of crypto on their side. By not knowing what they are investing, they will probably feel scared on it and another thing is that they are afraid of what the government says about it.
It's not that a lot but not majority of the people here is willing to invest that amount.

Some are afraid but not all, because there are uncertainties if they are going to win or loss investment in crypto.  But with those who are very familiar with the project they joined, they have no fear, they have confidence in the project and hope to increase their profit.

I think not everyone is afraid to invest, it's very hard to find a good ICO to invest, many ico are offering the advantage of using low-priced pre-sale prices and offering interesting business ideas, but most of the ICO ended in failure and became Scam, I think we just have to be smarter and meticulous in investing.

Hey Mate ! No pain no gain ! Hmmmmmmmm.ahaaaaaaaaa

People are afraid to invest because market is not yet stable, we have seen more bearish market run than bullish market, so a lot of people are waiting till market show a strong bullish run before they can start investing again.

when you know the risks that there are willing to invest any so not matter because you already understand the risks that exist,
with large capital, the results obtained will also be great as well as vice versa but the most important here is how we manage the finances that we have in order to gain profits by having a predetermined goal

Because cryptos are not usually not backed by the value of real assets. When you invest in a coin, price can drop substantially as there is nothing backing up the value of the coin other than hopes and dreams. This is why we wanted to have our INNBC Token (https://www.innovativebioresearch.com/pre-ico) backed by the value of jdm cars. Because if a Token is backed by the value of actual physical goods you know that there is a baseline value that should be preserved.

People who do not have enough knowledge about cryptocurrency are the one who have fear to invest in cryptocurrency. They think that cryptocurrency is just an online scam which indeed is wrong belief. For us who have deeper understanding in crypto, we should spread out to them that crypto investment is good.

People who are afraid to invest in cryptocurrency are the one who do not believe in the power of bitcoin and what it can do to change the life of people interms of financial problems.

Afraid invest of cryptocurrency for one reason. Bitcoin previously cost 20,000 and now 7300. I think in this all the reason

Everyone has a psychological precaution when referring to the cryptocurrencies market because they do not believe they can make much profit in such a short time. And many greedy people they invest without knowledge of the market, resulting in losses and panic sell. The cryptos market is only for people with trade experience and understanding of market volatility, strong psychology and persistence.

Actually,I agree with it. Most small investors think that having an investment is always a risk because he or she doesn't know what will happen or the flow of the investment. It's hard to monitor the investment straightly and it's more harder if there is no such difference when putting it up with no development. Good news is altcoin is not very risky when investing a normal capital and it's affordable.

Like other financial instruments, Crypto also involves a risk. And the high volatility that exist in the market makes it even worse. Crypto is good. Crypto is profitable but you can also get rekt. I believe that's one of the major reasons that hold people back from investing.

With the recent market movements and ICOs having trouble at staying at ICO price when they hit exchanges, I understand that people don't want to invest, since they are probably afraid that the price would never go beyond ICO price at which they bought in. I hope at the end of the year we will see some bullish runs and the market will be back to normal.

I tried to convince so many people and they are all calling crypto scam.Only one friend invested but the rest dont want to do even bounty campaign because they say where is real money.it will take a while until mass adoption comes in place

There are lots of stereotypes about crypto currency among people. One of them is connected to the other currency like USD, I mean people used to the fact that the most reliable currency is backed with gold, so it makes them feel confident about it. And everyone knows that this doesn’t work with bitcoin and other crypto.
