i invest so much in cryptocurrency there is possible a risk? in investing in cryptocurrency, what is the main risk you encounter in investing in crypto
i hope an anyone give me an example a risk in investing in cryptocurrency,

there are many risks of investing in crypto, the easiest example is when you buy a crypto, then suddenly the price falls, this is a risk, especially if the price does not recover and the developer leaves it. another example if you invest in ico and get a ico scam, then you can be sure will lose the assets you have.

these are some examples of risks from crypto and there are many other risks. all risks can be avoided, if you are careful and always do analysis before investing.

Investing in cryptocurrency is a high risk, prices rise and fall significantly, cryptocurrency coin prices may be $0

same risk as buying something and hoping its value increases

There will be risks and gains in the market. At the end of the day, there will be returns if we take on some risks. So, we do need to be bold.

This entire market is associated with risks. Like the famous term, no risk no gain, we do have to undertake risks to get some gains.

There are many risks in the crypto investments. For example, there are risks of scam ICOs. You invest your money in an ICO and that ICO is a scam. After that, there are risks of investing in a coin and after that, the price is falling and never recovering. So, you should invest the amount that you can afford to lose.

There are some risks in the cryptocurrency investments. First of all, the prices of the cryptocurrency never stays the same. If you buy a cryptocurrency, this might happen that the price will go lower and never recover. After that, there are risks of scam ICOs. You need to be careful about the scams.

Without risk we cant get success,the degree of risk depends upon the situation and the type of investment that we are involved in. There are many risks involved in Cryptocurrency-
One of it is the price, that is the price don't stay stable, it always keep on fluctuating, that has become an big problem for the investors.
 Another one is, presence of hackers and the scam projects, because of these scam projects, risk of investing in Cryptocurrency has increased.

If you are investing in cryptocurrency, so please invest that much amount that you can loose. I am not telling you that you will loose all your money but it may be. Risk in investing cryptocurrency is reduction in its value and it can be happen due to following reasons:- 1. Correction in market, 2 Because of rumors, 3 Government regulations, any scam news etc.

Cryptocurrencies carry a very big risk of losing all your money. But just as these investments can make you a millionaire.

I would not risk, and would use more reliable methods of investing

Of course, every kind of investment carry some risk.  When the market is down you could lost some of your investment.  The higher risk, the higher potential profit you will get.

if you don't have experience or research on cryptocurrency, investing in cryptocurrency is very risky, no one knows when the coin will fall and when it will experience a price increase, and the main risk of investing in cryptocurrency is losing all the money we invest

well
ur head will blow up if u choose to be a holder.
or if i be a investor on some ico,
make u sure u choose the right.
the normal risk is maybe the price down dramaticaly.

In crypto currency you are only responsible for the profit or the loss. So first and foremost you need to have fundamental knowledge about crypto. Just do not blindly follow the lead of others.

Choosing off beam exchange and loosing password/ private keys I think some of the common facts that are involved in risk. It is needed to stay aware while choosing exchange and also you need to stay alert about your keys.

As a crypto user or investor no one should keep blind trust on the renowned crypto currency. Besides, no one should be much greedy about making profit and a profit limit should be set on the investment.

There are so many risk in investing in cryptocurrency. Crypto re too easy to misplace and they are still tricky to trade. Cryptos are also susceptible to hacking and other scams.

In my opinion some risks investing in cryptocurrency are like any country banning crypto any time, any wallet hack, rumours, whale market manipulation, any exchange hacks etc.

Calculating the risk is not possible but clearly it is very risky investment but also you can make lots of profit by investing in crypto. Altcoins are much more risky compared to bitcoin.

Crypto investing is highly risky but also extremely rewarding at the same time as well, just buy when you see prices down on long term charts and then wait, you can also day trade if you are good at technical analysis, it is the high volatility that makes it risky and profitable at the same time.

It's really risky if you invest your money in cryptocurrency without knowing anything about this world or having any knowledge about it :). You should know that there are so many traps in this world and if you fall into these traps, all your money will fly away very quickly :). For example, you wanna invest your money in crypto world but you don't know how it work and what it is so you made a wrong decision is that invest your money into a ponzi system then you loose all your money :). I think this simple example is enough to you :).

There's risk everywhere.

Exhanges (can) get hacked
Wallets get hacked
Metamask gets fooled
Fud influences price
Btc drops, alts drop
Alt project dies
Alt project on shitty exchange
Regulations
Taxes
Local law
Investing money you don't have
Hold but never take it out
Buy the dip but the dip is even lower
Don't dare to sell
.....the list goes on and on :)

I think the biggest risk is losing money, the market can be manipulated as we have seen on different occasions and thanks to that the FUD can spread and the value of most of the cryptos collapses, at that moment when you try to withdraw money obviously you will lose part of your investment, because you will be selling your coins for a lower value than you invested, that's why so much emphasis is placed on hodl.

The big risk in every single investment is lost all of your funds. Don't you think crypto have no risk, it wrong. There is many threats you will be seeing like scam, hack, and dropping price as well.

I think crypto currency is the best place for investment. You can’t find any risk free business. If you want to get huge profit from it you have to know the crypto world properly. After that you can get huge profit from here. This is the best platform to invest.

I think its the best time to invest here. No business is riskfree. Its a safeest place i think because if yopu know everything properly you will get huge profit from here.

You should know what risk before you invest your money, the risk could be you got hacked, you got scammed in ico or they just stop working or the product not able to be realize or fail. There is also a lot risk like you might got hacked or someone steal your private key.

It is investing, there will always be a risk.

Just the mere word of it tells it all. You cannot find something that have no risk. I guess that is why we are all here. We want to manage our own investment and never go to a broker which will just add up for payment.
Here it will be direct. It will always be your decisions which will be risky. Better make it as clear as you can before buying something specially with altcoins.

Crypto currency market is very risky and also high Volatility and most people i have seen are entered in this market to be quick rich which make them upset after loosing values of their assets, keep in mind you don't loose untill you sell it in loss. You need to apply different types statergy to make profit according to the market conditions.

investing in crypto market that means you took the risk. main part is when you invest in crypto market you can never predict the market. you have to deal the market wisely.

There's risk involved in everything here man, from keeping your keys, getting dumped on to tons of phishing scams etc flying around.

Crypto is kind of a wild west in itself

It holds the same risk as we use to see a decrease in the value of a asset because of which the price also gets decrease than the price at which we have invested our hardly earned funds. For example you have invested $1000 in a cryptocurrency at the price of $1 and then its value gets decreased to $0.2 because of which you are in a loss of $800 and if it decreases to 0 then you loss your whole funds. 

Hope it helps.

price ups and down is the main risk in crypto market i think. you have to take patience all the time and give time to the market.

So it's a broad variety. So you have the investment risk, these are hyper volatile assets. As with equities or bonds, any particular equity can go to zero, right? Any particular company, any stock, and the same is true of cryptocurrency. So any particular cryptocurrency can definitely go to zero.

The only risk today is that the market is moving very strangely and I do not exactly understand how it moves and what it controls, it makes me think that the market is being manipulated today and it does it very skillfully because there are situations on the market that it is impossible to predict at all.

Yes cryptocurrencies are risky if you will treat it as your investment.

Prices are varying and it can be dumped anytime that we aren't expecting but it can also pump anytime.

You invest to bitcoin with $100 @$7,000 but suddenly the price goes $6,900 so that $100 you invested will no longer worth $100 but it will become lower but not until you sell your bitcoin at that lower price.

The crypto market has hundreds of different risks if you are not careful. There are some common risks in crypto:
Dont know about cryptocurrency and you invest in a cryptocurrency scam.
There is not much time to update the prices and news and the price of the coin you invested fell and you did not sell them.
Your account is hacked because you dont guarantee the security you need for your account and you lose everything

I think there are several risks in cryptocurrency, the risk that often occurs is a decrease in altcoin or dump values ​​that hit the altcoin. If a decrease occurs in a long time you will lose, another risk is security in the transaction, you must be careful in making transactions and protect your private key wallet, hackers use many ways to hack crypto users' wallets and this problem has often happened.

the unpredictable nature of cryptocurrency makes it a very risky investment. You must really check the market to really take advantage of it as prices may rise and fall in just a matter of seconds. but the more you do trading and get involved with it you become confident and knows how to deal with it.

Ok, so you've invested "so much" into crypto, without doing even the smallest bit of research into it? I hope this is a joke, otherwise I would advise you to take out your investment and leave crypto alone. Sorry if it sounds a bit harsh, but my other advise would be to really delve into the projects you are investing in and know what you are putting your money into, this way you can only blaim yourself if you lose it all. And you should be willing to lose every dime you put into crypto otherwise it could be a bitter experience when the markets go bearish and you can't pay your dues.

One risk is that governments likely will limit the currencies' use, such as barring them for tax payments, which would keep them out of the mainstream, and it may not be the last government to act on concerns about giving up control over the flow of funds, the ability to monitor taxable gains or appearing vigilant in protecting investors.

The common risk of investing in cryptocurrency is that the price dropped dramatically and quickly. The worst thing is that if we choose the crypto coin incorrectly, it could be that our investment will be unworthy or  zero. In addition to our charred money, our time and mind are also wasted. So we have to be really good at choosing crypto coins.

By making any investment, you must understand that there is a risk. In the crypto, this risk is quite high. I think the greatest risk is when you buy a coin and after a while the price goes down several times.

Investment itself is a risk. there is no way that we get profit with 0% Risk.when you have a number of currency  you will be able to gain more profit but putting the whole money is also a risk.Be a smart player, buy at low and sell at atleast a bit high than what you purchase.dont sell at loss  :) :) ;) ;)

i think there is no risk if you know the market properly. before joining in crypto market you should analysis the market properly and you should not be get hyper when the price getting low.

The risk can be connected with your lack in knowledge about crypto's trading and investin, for example, and of course changing prices are not so stable as we want.

One of thehe major risk one encounter in cryptocurrency market is investing in a scam project, because you will definitely loose everything !!!

The risk of investing in crypto currency is just that you don't know if you will be buying at lost or at gain

In fact, there are a lot of risks, especially if you invest in ICO which suddenly turns out to be fraudulent!

It is not so evidently now, but after two or more years most of crypto would cost near 0.00$, and your goal is not to invest in such companies.

The obvious risk of engaging in the crypto cycle is the potential loss making, there is no guaranteed returns in the crypto arena and there is no safe investment strategy at all,  anything can happen anytime, making crypto the riskiest investment ever, however we all know that the higher the risks we take the higher the chances of us making it Big, so somewhat its worth it

when someone decides to invest in Crypto, of course the person has understood the risks he will face, the general risk that is often faced by crypto investors is having a loss and losing a lot of money due to a bad market situation, security problems are also a risk for an investor and there Unexpected risks such as investor carelessness due to losing a private key to access their wallet, this is trivial but often happens.

Every business has its risk, every investment is Attached to one risk or the other so crypto is not left behind in facing this risk.

There is a high risk especially when you want to invest here in cryptocurrency. When you buy some coins,then the market goes down it affects the coins, so their price or value goes down also. So it can make a big loss to you, so before you invest make sure you choose a coin/s with a good potential growth in the future.

The risk of investing in crypto currency is that your $3000 investment today can be less than $300 tomorrow...

The worst risk is that you will lose all your crypto assets. Due to extreme price fluctuations and many unclear projects and fraudsters. Maybe one of the things you can do is trade in bitcoin or ETH, because I think it's safe to play both coins.

The main risk I am aware of in crypto currency investing is loss of your Etherum or bitcoin or money
If you invest 1000$ in a project
The risk involved is loss of your capital
The coin could dump to as low as 200$ Or it could rise to 2000$
That’s the risk dude

You will find several kinds of risks when investing in crypto. First, you may lose all your money if the market drops suddenly and if the coin you invested is not able to recover again. Next thing is you can fall into scams.

not only in crypto currencies, all things called investments are very dangerous, because we cannot determine for sure the future of the investments we make. especially in the world of crypto currencies it is very risky for people who do not understand the state of the market. therefore before deciding to invest you must know about the advantages and disadvantages that you can experience when deciding to join crypto currencies

The main risk is that we do not know what laws will be introduced by the state for these or those of our assets. Everything can close in a moment. More precisely not to close, and go underground.

The risk of investing in Cryptocurrency is,  you could lose all your money and become broke and on the flip side,  you could also become rich, so prepare for the worst but expect the best!

Invest some ICO and trashcoin, low price coin. For me you can buy some coin form potential Project already complete their ICO on exchange and hold until the moon (Please read their project carefully before make any order

The risk is in your mind only I am sure, everything here depends on your preparation and knowledge that can help you to make really good money or to lose it.

there are many risks in cryptocurrency investment. one example is if you buy coins and at that time the coin that you buy has a very drastic decrease and the coin is long to recover. the risk is that you will experience a loss.

There are lot of risk when you invest in cryptocurrency. Part of the risk is that there are lot of scam ICOs around and if you invest in them, they will run away with your money. Another risk is the volatile nature of cryptocurrency, you may buy a coin at high price and the coin can fall after buying at high price.

what is risk? depends on you pal but the main risk is losing something. depends on you because it depends on how much do you investing. if you invest a lot you will lose a lot.

Any investment must be attach with risk. Cryptocurrency is new investment and still at early stage. Crypto is high risk investment because this market still not regulated and we can lose our money. But i am believe cryptocurrency is future investment and i am believe crypto is good investment even have high risk

I'm not negative about the risk but don't forget that there's a certain risk to get a reward but to get the reward, there's a possibility that you might lose.

In most popular terms, invest only what you can afford to lose.

Indeed, investing in the world of cryptocurrency is very risky from the very fast price of ups and downs and is prone to data theft investing in crypto must be more careful and ready to accept any risks that will occur

Fiats are not volatile in nature but cryptocurrencies are volatile hence your investment may double at the same time. You will be find the bitcoin value goes cheap in the market as well. Next to that if you are not good in securing your fund.
You will be find the no amount in your wallet then. Sometime people have bad understanding about the cryptocurrencies like it does not have future and not worth to hold the fund. This is not true but for some people it will be fearful view for the investors while they holding it for investing.

The risk is you will lose all your money! Without proper knowledge before investing may cause your investment to go bankrupt. Investor must be research every detail about the project that he go into. "Do not bring a gun without a bullet" As the saying you must always equip until the battle ends.

There are many risks associated with crypto, as well as with other investments. Knowledge through extensive research and experience is important before investing. The risks can be minimized thru different strategies, like diversification and cost averaging method.

Every investment will require the risks. Whatever the investment is. here, we can make strategy and  considerations to eliminate or decrease the risks of losing. The big risk is losing all money in crypto. But, if we make such good strategy with wise and smart decision, we can make profits.

There are a lot of risks, the first one is hackers, you never know when they could stole all your funds, this happened a lot of times in big exchanges, and a lot more times to personal wallets so we have to be careful with that. Next is the volatility of all the cryptocurrencies, one day they can lose a 50% of their value, this never happen in traditional investments. But if we know what we are doing we can make fast money faster than any business.

CryPTOCURRENCY  is a huge currency world. There is no shortage of risks, you should take a lot of thinking during the investment. To avoid risks, you must first take strategic steps. You can adopt many facts as if you have to invest in a coin, ICO and a project, make a deeper analysis of its context. By the way, there is no shortage of scandals, scams in the ICO. The decline in the price of coins, which is indefinitely, is also a risk. Without such risks, there is no flavor of success.

The twobrisk I found in investing into  cryptocurrency is that the listing price in exchange of a coin is usually low to the ICO price, so through this had cause alot of loss to ICO investors

What is the risk? well, you can lose it all very likely. consider your coins like a lottery tickets (if its not like top 10-15 coins)

I think the first and foremost risk associated with crypto comes from its nature of volatility. Hence, it's unpredictable; thou this factor goes either  side.

Secondly, if anyone should invest blinding in crappy projects, then all efforts and money invested will definitely be gone.

There is a risk in investing in anything, leave alone simply crypto. That said, crypto is still under the shroud of uncertainty regarding the acceptance and norms of governmental bodies, so that is a risk in itself negating all else.

If you want a highly risk form of investment then you find the right one, spend on cryptocurrency. Volatility makes it happen. The continues changing of its value makes it a lot difficult than other investment existing. Plus, its not that established unlike stockmarket because it is decentralized and no group of people governing it.

There is always that risk in investing in cryptocurrency due to the volatility of the market. What you can do is to lower that by doing your own reading before investing in a coin or token and learning how to trade.

There is obviously a risk and it's definitely going to be experienced in the crypto investment. It's either lose or gain a profit both it is a risk. need a good investing strategy for the crypto because this is not haphazard and without it then obviously there will be no profit expected in crypto.

Investing in cryptocurrencies is very dangerous, and no one knows when COINS will fall and when prices will rise. Make sure you choose a coin with good potential growth before you invest.

Investment is so risky because of the uncertain movements of the market.Example are I buy some coins and altcoins for a lowest price than eventually prices go up and then a few hours / minutes later it fall into lower prices, but you are suffering from a panic because of the worst to be happening.

The main risk is the risk that you will lose most of your investment without waiting for the market to grow.This mistake is made by almost all beginners.

before deciding to invest in cryptocurrency you should understand what risks will be faced. you can lose money invested in cryptocurrency because everything that uses the internet network can be easily stolen by others if we cannot secure the private key that we have properly. besides, cryptocurrency price movements are very easy to change so fast, you can benefit from it if the price can increase more sharply and vice versa you could lose money that has been invested because the price movement has dropped dramatically.

Volatility is the main risk that you will ever encounter if you start investing to cryptocurrencies.

There's too many coins to choose from but those unfamiliar and unpopular coins are even more riskier than the usual crypto that you know such as bitcoin, ethereum, etc. Investing has with the accordance of risk all of the time and this can't only be found on crypto's.

I think is the risk in cryptocurrency investment is when we invest in a project without making any first investigation or learning deeper about the project, to know the possible end result after the project starting to run.

It seems to me green, as there is a different increase in different currencies. Every time the market makes us happy, then it's green, I do not see any other option. :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Yes, I can calmly explain to a person what this is and how it works, because if it's a pyramid, a person must understand, there one depends on another-this is the essence of the pyramid.  :D :D :D :D

  Investing in cryptocurrency is very risky because price is not stable,anytime it will decrease if not increase. If you don't have enough knowledge in investing in digital currency there is a tendency that you will lose your money as a capital investment.

the risk could well mean the profit and loss statement. but there is definitely a clear fluctuation should be addressed when already entered in crypto. This is a problem that has always been an important consideration and not even is secret again many are away from the market because it is not strong crypto with fluctuations and the fear of their capital. However, when these fluctuations can overcome the condition will certainly be able to master what is in crypto.

You risk to lose all your money. At the beginning it looks simple, you think you will never sell tokens in a minus but the market will force you to do it. This is a risk of investing in cryptocurrency.

There are many risks, but the most dangerous are fraudulent projects that appear more and more each time and have learned to adapt so well

I think the risk when investing in cryptocurrency will be, when we can't watch the market at all time and there is significant price drop.
Cause cryptocurrency market is really volatile.

the risk in the crypto world is that you must be ready to experience the loss of your money and not benefit from what you invest in the crypto world.

All investments contain risks, especially bitcoin which has significant up and down prices. Maybe you are more patient and calm facing the market, when prices fall dramatically, make sure to follow the movement. If prices go up, you can resell with fantastic value

I think that the greatest risk is the claim to you from the state of which you are a citizen. The governments do not want that the cryptocurrencies developed and in the future can put you in jail for shadow financial turnover.

The first risk will be the volatility of crypto is very high,  the price can be crash more than 20% just afew hours and can be going down 90% in amonth.  Second risk is hacking and fraud.  So make sure you only put money that willing to loss in cryptocurrency. But with high risk also will be offer high profit like 10 times profit just in amonth or 100 times profit just in ayears. 

Making investments is a risky way of getting profit, that's for sure. And crypto investments can be described as the riskiest ones. Crypto os volatile, not stable, not regulated. No wonder, it's risky to put money in it, but on the bright side is the opportunity to earn a nice amount of money.

the risk in cryptocurrency is huge, we can find out if the cryptocurrency is currently in a low position and it can cause a risk of loss. but it is all a risk that must be faced by investors so before investing, always pay attention to the risks

Risk of entering the wrong coin, Risk of entering at the wrong time. Here's a live example: Who entered bitcoin at the end of 2017, has now lost quite a few. But the higher your knowledge, the lower the risks and higher the profit.

ok, I will note the private key for wallet protection so that others won't easily steal it, thank you for sharing your experience

All risks are obvious! Many come to hyip in the hope of getting rich quickly and after the fall lose their investment.Investing in this market - you can lose everything.

I think the risk is the high volatility of the markets. You're money is safe in crypto currency since they are encrypted and unhackable depending on how you secure your wallet. Since 2008 Bitcoin has not been hacked yet they may say it has but exchanges only but the main network of Bitcoin is still not yet hacked.

Risk number one and the only one is loss, if people say get stress tell him stress came from loss. Maybe you already hear about stuck and hacked, for that problem I can say you are the problem. Know about the risk is basic knowledge and never enter market with out that, trust me.

Market is very volatile and it really could make you rich or not the way your expecting an investment would turn out.
so crypto market is unpredictable, i suggest you study here for a while. and start reading some thread regarding any interest you would like to invest time and money.

and some scam is considered also risk right.
ill give you quite something for example.
Ill start with Scam ICOs in which ICOs projects will invite possible investors and then just ran and take all the money earn on the ICO. and not continuing the project.
and in some countries are ponzi scheme, in which your going to invest an initial amount and promised a larger profit for a month or so. but in the end its a pure scam.

In this market, the risk lies only in the inability to trade and understand the quality of ICO projects. If you constantly study the information and improve your skills the risk will be much less !

Big risk in every investment loses all the funds you have. Don't you think crypto doesn't have any risk, it's wrong. There are many threats that you will find such as fraud, accounts are hacked, and can drop prices too. You also have to know what the risks are before investing your money in crypto, you get scammed on ico or they stop working or the product fails.

Much more than investing in traditional stocks.

There are several risks involved with investments in cryptos;

1. Sudden price drops after purchase of coins due to high volatility.
2. Scam projects exiting with your investments in their scam ICO, money gone down the drain.
3. Wallet hacks by criminals, you lose everything with no chance of getting anything back.
4. Cease and desist for a project and by extension their coin, hence the token/coins in your possession become worthless.
5. Cryptos not regulated, so scammers hardly get prosecuted.

Those among many are some of the risks associated with investing in cryptocurrencies..

The biggest risk in investing in cryptocurrency is to lose your investment.
The market is volatile and if you invested in some not established coins your investment can go near to zero.
This is why we has to make a deep research prior to investing.

When investing in crypto, we certainly always find the risk of loss, when you buy coins and sometimes the coin price is dumped, you will lose. I have experienced it when I bought it a few times when the price broke, even though the coin was popular and previously had a good price. Maybe this is our challenge as an investor in playing investment, you see prices are stable and then you buy them and immediately the price decreases. It's like gambling, if you are lucky you will be rich and if the price decreases then you will lose.

Calculating the risks involved in cryptocurrency is quite not possible because in an6 investment,  there's risks involved. You need to be smart and alert and be ready for anything which may happen. Just don't put all your eggs in one basket.

the most common and prominent risk is the volatility of digital currency. if you are not well learned about it, you might lose all your investment

There is a risk in every investment and for crypto, its the Volatile market. The price can suddenly go up and down and the changes  can be unpredictable. I also don't want to sugar coat on this so I would like to inform you that there are unsuccessful ICO's that can make your money gone the moment the ICO was finished. From what I know, if the ICO turns out to be a failure, they will not return your money but will try to make things better on their end so you can get a coin and sell it someday.

Investing in cryptocurrency will be very risky if you do not have the experience. If you want to invest in cryptos safely, you should only invest in BTC, ETH, and long-term investments, and invest in altcoins. And the short-term ICO in the current low exchange rate is very wrong.

You said you had already invested in crypto and why you didn't know that the risk is higher than any form of investment. The main risk is you will lose your money if you don't manage your investment property which you need knowledge in this technology.

So far, I want to believe volatility is actually the major risk when it comes to investing in cryptocurrency. Asides from the fact that it is a new space and a lot of development are still coming up as time goes on, it makes it a lot subjected to huge speculation, less usage for what it is and most people just seeing it more as a speculative investment than the real thing. This is one thing that has made the volatility what it is but one thing I believe would become less as we forge ahead and the market becomes more matured.

Everything in crypto is a risky investment so be careful even if you put one buck as an investment. However, if you don't take the risk, you can't gain profits.
Cryptocurrency market is highly volatile that's why we call this investment as a risky investment. I hope you can understand now.

 Like I just read on another thread "Can I start trading with $100" ?

 Well, like the response to that went, I wished to have started with little money to learn the ropes, instead of lot. Every single investment is risky, otherwise we would all be millionaires. The thing is how to learn risk/reward and risk management. And also understand your STYLE of investor. Are you a day trader, week trader? Do you go by price action, fundamentals or TA?

 Then, there is the questions of who holds your private keys.

 Investing is always risky, so learning and information is key

Yeah! The truth is there is absolutely no investment that isn’t risky and the only thing we can do is to be knowledgeable enough to know the risk that is common in such investment, see how it can be curbed to a minimal level and make decisions based on the knowledge we have been able to gain.

A lot of people tend to forget this part so much that all the things they care about is to make money quickly, but things do not happen that way. Knowledge helps a lot as well as patience when it comes to investment.

if you do not know what you are doing, then it is risky!..but if you know and learned everything about crypto, then you are safe!....keep on reading more about crypto for you to see the pros and cons of it!

exactly!..I am also a newbie in crypto industry!..thinking that I will invest my money, I think I need to be careful too!...

There are some risk in my opinion.
You invest first , then the market fall down , and your project will fall down too.
Or the project you invested is a big scam , haha , you lost your money!

Everything in crypto is a risky investment. Just conscious

There are to much risk in the world of investments. You dont even knew what will gonna happen to your money. It will take you into winning or in lossing if it goes wrong. Better to learn more first how to get into investment weather it is safe or not.

You will face the following risks:
- The price of a coin will decrease and never increase
- Coins can be taken out of the trading platform and not accepted on the market
- You will encounter a scam and lose everything

The risks of cryptocurrency are that after the purchase the price of cryptocurrency will fall, and not rise and you are in the red. And the second example, when you invested in ICO, and it turned out to be scammers, you will lose all your money.

Cryptocurrency investment is a risky business. For one, the market is highly volatile. If you are not good in monitoring its movements, chances are, you'll lose. Hence, if you are not a risk taker, just don't do it.

Investing in cryptocurries are very risky but for me it depends on you. How you deal with it. You should have an expertise or at least the basic knowledge of cryptocurrency, how to trade it and its working. Blindly following the lead of others is not going to be fruitful. Yes, in initial phase you may have to rely on expert advice, seek help from social trading programmes available on exchanges. But don’t just leave your money to them and sit back. You need to carry out research on your own. You are solely responsible for the profit and loss.

We can say that in any sphere of life the risk is obvious and you will never be able to predict when it is best to invest. I think that the best time now, when the red color on the market is as long as possible and all the coins are as cheap as possible.

The price of crypto is unstable and a future that is still unclear makes crypto a big risk because not everyone wants to accept crypto. but with unstable crypto prices, you can get big profits by buying coins when the price is low and selling them at high prices only you have to be careful in choosing coins because not all coins have the potential to rise.

The high volatility of cryptocurrency make it risky. Within a blink of an eye, the price of a coin can drop drastically and it value can also appreciate.. You can invest on a scam ICO project that will cart away your investment. These are just some of the risk of cryptocurrency and there are a lot more I didn't mention here.

Cryptocurrency is associated with risks, you have to know that before decided to invest in cryptocurrency. The major risks are sudden ľľ0 of price much lower than what you buy it. ICO scam is another risks associated with cryptocurrency. Sending of coins to a wrong address which you cannot reverse again is also part of risks associated with cryptocurrency. Despite all these risks, cryptocurrency still remains a good investment decisions.

I have heard people telling that you can become rich in really short time with cryptocurrencies, and I think it is true but with the condition of investing high amounts of money as well, after all, the money isn't actually growing in the trees.

As for investing in crypto, Investing in crypto comes with a high risk, Take for instance, you bought a NEO coin on MAY 2018 at the price of $80, with hope to make some profits from it, Unfortunately The Market drops and the price of NEO worth $18 on this day. What do you call that? well That's just it.

The risk is that you expect that the majority of the investors are on the same frequency as you and believe that something good will happen if investing in that coin. Is only when there's no hope that people start panicking, typically due to market drops.

There is always a risk of investing in cryptocurrency at least due to the fact that it can never be known whether this or that cryptocurrency will grow or not. The main thing to try hard to get at the right time and buy when the maximum benefit is obvious. Then the risks will be reduced to zero

The risk is included in trading crypto because nobody can know for sure whether the price of coins increase or not. However, if not taking risks you will never become rich. Every business involves risks

The PISHIN site that sucks all your Bitcoin capital when entering a strange website.
Your Bitcoin balance will be used up when entering the PISHING Website, so be careful friends because SCAMER is everywhere.

I think you should know before you try to invest in cryptocurrency, this is something ridiculous if you have invested without knowing all the risks. especially investment in the long term, there are many altcoins and ico that are not really able to survive according to their profile.

in my opinion, every investment has their own risk to solve or to minimize and eliminate it, from all of it are going back to ourself how to manage our investment from those risks. the main problem in cryptocurrency investment are market volatility, no one can predict where the price will goes. and than we have many scammers out there which can take away your money with all of their effort, from offering very big profit without doing anything or providing promising ICO only on whitepaper.

the risk is only off getting return at right time. this is for sure that you will get good return in long run. if you have money to keep for long term than you will get the profit for sure. but you will not get the profit at right time when you required it.

There are so many risk involved in investing cryptocurrency and like I always say, is there anything that does not include risk. To make something out of anything in life, there are some certain risks that one must take or be faced with. So for whoever it may concern, does the risk that comes with investing in cryptocurrency feel worthy to you?

The risk for investing in cryptocurrency is you can lost your money in short of time if the token/coin price drop and you cannot blame anyone for that. Risk in security, most of us invest in crypto and leave it in online wallet like MEW, but remember many of us using internet, if you don't care about clicking a strange link or if you install some software without reading it first, you can lost your money because your wallet is hacked...

Investing always has a risk of not be returned in money for investors so they are afraid of loss of money. Other problems are not so importnat I think.

Sure, there is a possible risk to lose everything, if you are using trading and margin trading. Short term investment is also very risky. Long term investment is great, because you can invest 1k USD, in a year, it worths 100 USD and within 2 years 10.000 USD

If the market has crashed, there will be a great problem for all of us. And this unknown situation is the reason of risks. I think so because this reason is actual even for the lack pf joining people.

There are a lot of risks. You can lose a lot of money. If you are not careful and selective enough, you would invest your money into a garbage coin during a pump. Within 24 hours you can lose a lot. But crypto space offers also a lot of chances to get rich.

The main risk in investing in crypto is you might get scammed. If you are newbie, just do your own research about the project you are investing. Second Risk is the ROI, you are not sure when it hits exchange if that will be above or below the ICO price.

the first thing you should know is that cryptocurrency has a considerable risk, but of course it is comparable to the benefits you can get. this depends on how you put yourself and look for opportunities in everything. So the most important point is that you must seek knowledge first.

The main risk of investing in cryptocurrency is the difficulty of predicting the fall and rise in exchange rates.
The fact is that the market is affected by many factors from the opening or closing of exchanges, or problems in their work to hacker attacks.
It is also important to follow the global news in the field of legislation and the general circulation of cryptomonet - prohibitions and strict controls, restrictions on use in this area have a negative impact on the course.
It is worth considering what cryptocurrency is attached to and what events affect its fluctuations before investing your money.
Miners who invest a lot of money in the extraction of a currency buying equipment for mining and paying overhead costs, do not risk recouping investments for the extraction of any currency when the exchange rate fluctuates and, in fact, are also very dependent on market trends , from news that can negatively affect the course.

The main risk would be the market volatility. You never know when the prices are going to rise or fall. Today you can be rich, tomorrow you can loose everything due to a bad investment.
Scams also present a high risk when it comes to crypto

Any business that has the capacity of giving huge profit is risky, the major risk associated with Cryptocurrency is its volatility, as an investor you can't determine market swing per time.

When you invest in crypto you will have the classic risks with a few specific additions.

1. Economic risk
    Obviously with any investment, you will risk yielding low returns, if not even making losses. The crypto market is highly volatile, so while you might
    you're having a great week, all of your gains could diminish within one day.

2. Default risk
    While default risks usually apply to banks giving out loans, it also applies to crypto currencies in the way, that developers could just drop a currency
    that isn't performing in the way they anticipated. That could lead to your asset practially diminishing.

3. Political risk
    This could also fall within Economic Risk, as it will influence the performance of the currency. Politics love to meddle with the crypto market, by
    announcing possible bans or restrictions. While this would be mostly out of the hand of the developers, it could affect the market as a whole. With
    traditional investments, political risks would have lower effects on the market, if at all.

4. ICO scams
    Be generally catious when participating in an ICO. While you could never be 100% sure that you won't be scammed, try and be as sure as possible, by
    getting as many infos about the currency, and most importantly, the tech and purpose behind it.
