Bitcoin Forum

We can see that blockchain industry is growing continuously and a lot of investors are getting interested. They are becoming aware of the advantages of cryptocurrency and want to convert some of their savings into crypto assets. However I think investing on crypto is not that easy as it sounds. There are lot of risk involve in the process. Would you guys want to share what risks or difficulties investors may have to face while investing on cryptocurrency ? 

Investors must know the risk before they enter in cryptomarket. The volatility of the price can be a big risk for investors but I know big investors always play in long term so I think its more on the security of their money if they will just put in the exchanges, better to have a more secured wallet.

There is nothing free in the world when you want to get something that you do not try to get in the way, especially if the investors are having trouble investing. Title: First Financial Issue. Second not the technical catch year. Third, there is no team in the group, the fourth is not aware of the virtual money market .. I think those who step several virtual money investment path most of the problems. However, people often have the phrase 'There is a need to sharpen the iron' I think this sentence is very meaningful and to those who really want to try to improve their own lives.

one of the difficulties of investing is where you will invest and when is the right time to invest.
because you really need to analyze the price chart of the coin you want to invest in.
there will be always a risk. because no one can predict the future price.

You are right, investing in crypto requires a medium knowledge in IT and online security. From the point having your coins securely stored on your wallet there are a lot issues where you could lose them. This is not the case for regular investment.
Risks:
1) Exchange taking your money
2) Hackers taking your money
3) Huge volatility may be a problem for many
4) Risk of losing your keys to your wallets, risk of losing the wallet if not backed up properly and in sufficient places

The risks faced by each investor may be scam project. Therefore, every investor must analyze the project they are going to follow, looking any information as much as possible about the project.

Investing in crypto currency is not so simple, it's a new market and it needs to be studied. It was easy to invest when everything was growing, but now, the most difficult thing is to keep the profit that you got.

Well I really think the common issue with investing in certain ICO are trust because you will need to have your trust in it 100% that it is really secure and your investment will not be gone forever, Just like what happen with CryptoBnB they haven't reach the hard cap that is why they stopped the ICO and send all the investors money back, Well I have heard certain ICO that run away with the money of investors and this is not a new issue.

Well with investment, there's always a risk. With crypto the most difficult part is setting up accounts knowing when to buy and sell. For you to fully understand, you have to date back to its charts and how it moved since its launched. You have to research and read blogs about a certain coin you wanted to invest. Without full knowledge of it, your investment is of greater risk.

I think their might be a risk here but it is really low as long as the coin continues to develop. For example, the coins that belong to the top most likely in the top 50 are actually great coins. If you invested here, it is most likely you will really get a profit out of these coins. But there is still a little risk because anything can change due to the team and the project development.

The risk that can be involved with crypto's is the volatility.

 there is no such easy way if you want to earn a good profit from any prospect businesses, as a matter of fact many are got failed, just like in crypto, investing in ICO have different aspects  must be considered so that your money will not be wasted. Good concept of the project including white paper,the ability of the team and the product.

One of the risks I can site is investing in a wrong coin/project. Basically, it's not that easy to identify a legit project to the scam ones. To solve this up, you should heartfully educate yourself about the project you are entering, all the necessary infos you have to learned like the concept, the team and many more.

Honestly it's difficult to invest when people dont trust the crypto or when they think the negative effects of it like the lower exchange of money, hackers and risks of losing the wallet. Investing cryptocurrency is not easy.  It's just need to be studied more and learn how to keep the profits that you got.

When you are interesting to invest in the crypto currency and you should choose the best blockchain platform. the best blockchain platform will give you a lot of guarantee such as the future adoption of the blockchain itself and many more. The only risk if you can't get the best one and it might less on its adoption.

There is nothing much to it except that you can loose your money. It is same everywhere with business I hope you know this. Also since it is online business, you will have every problems associated with only business with investing in crypto. People can play you for trusting them with your money. Lost of access to your registered account and password is also a problem.

My difficulties when investing is due to internet network disruption, sometimes also caused by the less RAM so that the internet speed is also affected ,,
If that is the problem I am experiencing ..

Easy to deposit but difficult for withdrawal.
That is the most problem that I read from crypto users. They got in and it is a good thing for us but they did not think about how they will get because of excitement.

You cannot do it for bank transfer cause there will always be a possibility that they will hold your account. Why? Money laundering.
Perhaps withdrawal of just little by little amount would work. But there is always a record of all your transaction so somehow they will see it and stop you once again.

Yes indeed there are many risks when we invest in crypto. I think the risk or difficulty that is always experienced by crypto investors is a very volatile price. Prices can go up and down anytime and in any amount, so investors can get big profits and also can get big losses as well. So investors should be able to analyze when to buy and when to sell. Other risks or difficulties is that not all crypto is profitable (there are many crypto that are scam and fail), so investors should be careful in choosing coin for investment. I think it is a risk or difficulty that must be experienced by crypto investors.

I think there is a big risk of fraud. That is, when exchanging cash for cryptocurrency you can deceive  not exchange money for you, and in the worst case, you can still beat

Investing in cryptos market is very risky for inexperienced people. Most of the people I know are invited to invest in cryptos, in particular, BTC and ETH, when the exchange rate is always rising, and they will be affected by FOMO psychology and will invest in lucrative hopes profit in short time. But after investing, the exchange rate will fall rapidly, they will fear and immediately cut losses to exit the market. Therefore, it is wise to invest in cryptos.

i think the most difficulties in crypto is how to find a good ad undervalued crypto at this moment
if we talk about good coins to invest, you can invest only in the TOP 20 coin at coinmarketcap, but for the higher and better result in profit is if we can found an undervalued crypto in the market, and how can we minimize the risk  ;)

Some difficulties and risks are as follows:

1. You have over a thousand of coins to choose from.
Though you can trim your options down by looking into the top coins via CMC, Coinstats, or Blockfolio.

2. There is no certainty that a coin will actually gain significant value. Therefore you may have to wait for years for a price increase or sell at a lower price to cut losses.

3. Prices fluctuates which is why some choose to day trade. By this may be quite stressful since you will need to monitor your portfolio on a daily basis.

4. Market crash. We need to prepare ourselves for this so as not to panic when it happens. Don't be so easily intimidated or influenced by FUD's or fake news because they will pull you down!

5. Too many scammers now a days. We need to be vigilant in choosing our investments. Don't be a victim!

in long term there is no risk if you invest in right crypto and not in scam or pump and dump coins.You should invest as soon as possible because i dont think we can go more down from 330Billion

The only thing that i always see that brings a lot of trouble in here is the needed of KYC in a lot of crowdsales, and a lot of people just try to avoid joining in there because of that

the difficulty that is still often encountered when investing in crypto is, sometimes we still can not determine to invest at what price, because the fluctuations in the crypto can test our mental and patience

Bro your english needs improvement (sorry bout that :D), but I do agree with your comment. The fluctuations due to corrections in the crypto market is a thing to contend with when it comes to investing in it. It's even hard to pick which coin to invest in, then compounded by large fluctuations.
But don't get disappointed, fluctuations are part of the crypto business. It is volatile and it gains from it.

I think it's very important to invest for the long term initially,
the market short-term can dump as we've seen for the past months.
Beginners will easily get burned if they're inexperienced and not knowing much about crypto in general.

Invest for the long term and I'm sure we'll all be fine  :D

Investing in cryptocurrency is a very big risk. But we cant have instant profit though if we will not risk to it though.But despite of that risks cryptocurrency has, many are still tempted to invest since its very volatile compared to fiat money.

There are many factors to consider when investing in crypto:

1. Consider that you will lose money if you panicked because of the red market.
2. Volatility of the Market
3. You have to take risks for you to gain enough profits.
4. Market deniability, well it's a part of the volatility in the market but it is a huge factor to consider though.
5. Scammers are arising from their bed sheets, stay cautious in the internet.
6. Have proper security when using your own smartphone/s, personal computer or any gadgets that you use for crypto.
7. Knowledge about crypto.

Like most investments, it's a big risk. And like stocks, it can be extremely volatile. But without these risks, return wouldn't be this big. Another thing would be is the legitimacy of one's investment.

Buy and hold Ark! See, that's not difficult at all.

Every kind of investment has it own risk. For example when you invest in ICO project, you will have to face to so many risky things like scam ICO project, bad ICO project and you'll be able to lose a lot of money because of investing in these projects, if you invest in cryptocurrency directly, you'll have to face with downtrend like at the early of this year :).

I think the major factor that investors needs to face is being emotional specially when the prices of what you bought is going down.
 
I know it is really sound simple but if you are actually trading or invested on something this makes you illogical.

The risk of investing in encrypted money markets is indeed high, but it is at an early stage.
So it's still profitable to invest in the encrypted money market, so more and more people are paying attention to it.

the safest strategy is to hold. spared from losses at that time and could also give a huge profit if for the long term. But if not used to be this thing certainly has always been plagued by their sense of panic because naturally afraid prices will not rise again and will increasingly fall. but until now I was holding and it is always promising results in several years.

I think price fluctuation is a common character of this crypto market. But some investors are afraid to invest on this market because they feel they lose their money. So i suggest those peoples who afraid to invest on this market. Invest for long time and chose the good coin. Which performance is stable.

Many projects are a fraud, and it's a dangerous thing.
If you don't have professional knowledge, you may be cheated.

Yes, you are right. There is always a risk if you want to make some good money with cryptocurrencies. The market is very hard to predict and sometimes the whole market goes down hard. But you have to be strong, patience is the key!

Investing in cyrptocurrency has a very high risk because the price is very fluctuating. Many experts are skeptical about bitcoin as a major investment because limitations they can analyze. I think this is what difficulties investors may have to face while investing on cryptocurrency

The most important thing is the correct analysis of the project, because now there is a lot of a scaffold on the forum, which today is generally not controlled at all. I really hope that now many people will check the projects more carefully.

The risk is by nature cryptocurrencies are very volatile. The price is never stable. It can soar up to the moon on one day and the next it is fast falling.  If you are a person who has no patience then cryptocurrency is not your thing.  With this investment perseverance and patience is very much needed if you want result. If you panick easily this is not for you man..if you have a tendency of  depressive  mental illness this is definitely not for you or else you will have nervoud breakdown..The volatility of this investment might kill youm This is what you need to know Before venturing and investing a big amount of money. Goodluck!

mis-information and lack of information. oftentimes, there's also no legal channel via which mis-managed funds can be retrieved, given that many projects make it explicit that they r not securities, u're likely putting in $ into a POTENTIAL future service, and that's abt it...

I agree with the fact that many new investors are jumping into crypto. There are surely a few difficulties in the beginning and the major one is investment into the right asset/project. Many investors get confused between investing into cryptocurrencies and investing into ICOs. The ones who invest in ICOs get further confused as to which project they should invest in and end up getting scammed by investing in scam ICOs. Other than that many new investors find it difficult to choose the best exchange and wallet that suit their needs. They also get panic most of the times and end up selling their assets in a loss.
But as time passes by these difficulties lower and they get more opportunities to make good profits.

The most difficult thing about investment is not knowledge about crypto, that many people have, is also about common sense and sense of reality when making decisions.

The highest risk is getting trapped by scam projects. Other risks are that you miss a swap to another token or own chain and lose all your money due to that.

I can see the difficulties of investing is the risks so a person should know it. Next to this is we don't know really when is the next time of the coins we are investing. So the very important is determined to earned and willing to be learn and patient in investing.

Yes it is not so easy and you need to have proper knowledge about crypto. The price inconsistency is also a hindrance for investment. But I will say if you can trade sensibly and hold your coin when needed you dont need to worry much. You will earn much just be positive.

The risk factor in crypto currency investment is Dependent on the amount you put in into the trading market, the larger the amount of investment, the larger the risk involved, but if you do your home work before investment, it will lessen the tension or the worries you have. have a good market research, check the stability on the market treed, the fundamentals, and the timing when to invest for the said crypto currency investment project.

There are many risk in investing in this crypto world. First we need to deal with scammers. Some of them use crypto to create fake icos then gathered money. You need to take a lot of information before investing in ico. Don't fall quickly with their bonuses.  Learning about the company is good and gives us a good hint if we arw going to invest or not. Also we need to educate ourself with different types of investment here because we can invest too in a altcoins but i think investing in icos is popular to new people here.

Actually I find it much easier to invest when the market stops growing and even more when the market is crashing because the value of the tokens will be relatively low which provides an easier opportunity to buy and hold.

The first problem almost everyone encounters whiles investing is the ability to detect whether the project will be a legit or scam project. There are many projects going on here and you cannot just put your money anywhere and anyhow. You have to be very cautious, do your analysis well and get the best choice. This is a difficult task to do because you risk loosing your money if it backfires

Investing in crypto is very easy but that is also much riskier than investing in other assets. You can diversify your money, you don't need to invest all your money in crypto.

Well definitely the risk that investor mostly got is the scam alert that ICO mostly does. Even the success of the projects doesn't mean that investors are gonna be already satisfied with the returns they get. The satisfaction is the risk also involved in investing or should we call, profitability of your investment. When you became more and more gripped in the ropes of investing and you don't get the scams often, the profitability is now your difficulty in it. The satisfaction you get isn't that satisfaction you get on your first investment in crypto. It becomes more dissatisfying to see that you didn't get quite enough the proper ratio or shares you should get from your investment. Therefore, you intend to raise your standards even more.

The risk you need to take when you get involved in the cryptocurrency is that it is not all rainbows and butterflies everyday. Expect the worst all the time so you will not think these cryptocurrencies are always increasing; remember it always fluctuates to basically it rises and falls most of the time especially now that it is still not stable yet.

The most obvious difficulty for me is the unpredictability of market cryptocurrency, sometimes in a short period of time a coin will drop dramatically. And we find it difficult to find out what factors affect the circumstances and prices of each coin.

One of the most difficult thing in investing is finding a good project where you can put your money and trust into. As we all know, the market is also full of scammers, tricksters and frauds. No one can foretell whether the market one chose to invest on will actually end up successful and eventually give profit. The second one is the volatility of the market There will be a time when there will be no profit, only losses. These are only some of the reason why it is difficult and risky to invest.

Nice question. In order to make investment, investors have to know a lot of things. They have to know the ROI properly with the time value. They must do a proper risk analysis to minimize the risk as well.

it you think There are lot of risk involve in the process, that is only because of our lack of knowledge about the subject. crypto and blockchain is a very simple thing to understand, we just have to studay a bit more to learn about it .

The major difficulty is to find the scam project, Good team, commitment over their project.

Markets are very uncertain right now. We have many scam projects. The best thing now is to invest in big coins like Ethereum, Bitcoin.

First thing is Risk, you must know about risk involved in investing in crypto. It is highly volatile market. And second need thing to find good coin to invest like know about project and their team and commitment towards their project.

Well, here it is enough just to ask for advice and everything becomes very simple, elementarily on the exchanger by the method of translation you can buy any crips currency!

difficult to clear it. the results and the movement of the crypto hard to be known. many people then thought scared to invest in crypto because its value fluctuating very large. with the results difficult to predict it's certainly made a lot of investors also will be a difficulty in guessing what they should invest.

So this is really true, for example, an uneducated person is very hard to invest in ICO, I believe that it is necessary to simplify this system a little and there will be more investors!

that's true, because although it is careful in choosing, because the risk will still overshadow the way of investment. which adds to the difficulty when each new altcoin comes up with each of its own promotions, it becomes very confusing.

Well besides the normal risk for any investment (that is the project not working), I would say that there are some risks of scams. Of course that could also exist outside the crypto space, but since all of these work online and have a good level of anonymity, I would say it's easier to scam people here. Regulation might legitimate crypto, but it will take a while to actually become efective.

Anyway, there are plenty good projects out there, and there is a lot of money to be made. There is a lot of speculation in crypto, but I don't necessary consider that a bad thing. It's almost like a necessary evil.

In fact, the main difficulty in the market is not to earn money, but to not lose your investment. Because very often during the correction period, many investors in the crypto currency are beginning to sell their assets and eventually go into negative territory. Therefore, I believe that it is much more profitable to invest in the crypto currency for a long-term perspective. So you can earn on crypto currency much more.

It is good that investment is not that easy, if not we would have a crowded investment market and that would make it less interesting for people like me looking for high risk.

If the investment is easy crypto then surely already a lot of people come in and get great results from crypto. the problem is very erratic crypto investment results. This has made many people withdraw and reluctantly join forces to invest in crypto.

Personally, I think the bigger risk investors met when investing in crypto are the scams and hacks going on. Being a starter in crypto, it is kinda hard to determine the phishing websites and scams to lure their private keys.

The first fear is that how much the platform is trusted if a investors getinto full trust with the investment platform then surely he will invest invest as much as he can .
And also as we know that this field is full of scammers so for them it take much longer time that whether to go with the ICOs investment or not and also as we know that only 8% ICOs are getting successful , so absolutely here it is a big risky thing for the investors is that how to deal with such things .
Well here if we have better network of experienced people then in that case it is not a big problem to select the perfect ICOs for the Investment in any cryptourrency project .

Investment is already itself implies risks. Many projects accept only BTC or ETH. To begin with, the investor needs to buy one of these coins. This is the initial difficulty that arises from a regular investor.

Yes, as it is very profitable to invest in cryptocurrency but there are some problems also and the main problem is the fake news which affect the market a lot.

the most common risk is the issue of very fluctuating value. that's a common problem in any crypto investment. but if we peel again there are many issues that must be known to new investors. especially in terms of assessment, not all projects or altcoin can be profitable. well herein lies the risk if tempted from big profits or high bonuses. that is why knowledge and experience play a role in the crypto industry especially trade.

I think you've heard the term that no risk no gain. So, for gaining money you have to take some risks. The more you take risk, the more you get to earn profit and this is how things worl to crypto currency.

Perhaps the biggest risk is that you invest money not in a material thing, but in virtual, for many people it's hard to invest big money. So it really can be, if you trust everyone ICO , you have to be more careful.

I think the main risk that awaits investors is the huge volatility and the risks of losing money on various assets

In investing we need to risk money so we can win or lose in that so that's hard another thing if we invest big then we can earn big but if small only then we can earn a little

I think always try to risk because crypto run for so long period of time so this is recommended like even there's no assurance still we need to grab the chance to earn

I think the main risk, it's due to everyone's lack of research before investing.
you first have to avoid scams by checking team members.
when nothing is available (or very little), I avoid.
For all ICOs, it is also necessary to consider whether the project is viable and whether it will not suffer from too much competition in its sector of activity.

I agree that the process of exchanging fiat money for crypto assets is not simple for investors, there are questions of fees, security and misunderstanding how crypto market works.

difficulties and risks for new investors is how to choose coins to be an asset, you can see today a lot of new coins and new ICO but many of them have no value in the market. therefore in my opinion proper selection of coins will make investors gain profit.

The biggest difficult in crypto are scams, because nobody can predict them and everyone can be deceived, even the best. Every new user must be very careful and do not trust anybody because only newbies are the most attractive to scam

the difficulties faced by investors at the time of investment is to determine where the investment of ico in the target can provide maximum profit or not. because now is not infrequently a lot of ico are losers and do not reach sales targets so I think this can be used as one of the more selective steps to choose before investing.

If you know how to find ways to earn cryptocurrency you can realize that you really don’t need to invest money. I start here with nothing and now, I have some fund to use for my trading. Its not difficult to invest money if you are confident about it, keep on learning and take more risk this market is for everyone don’t be afraid to lose some money because after that, greater profit will come to you.

Difficulties of investing
The most difficult things that the investors may face in cryptocurrency will depend on how they invest. Generally, An investor will get some risks: losing their money, being scammed, investing in the dead coins, and panic or stressful because of the very dropped prices. Therefore, before investing in crypto, it is better to consider the possibilities that may happen to them, not only about the profits to obtain.
