Hello,
What risks are there when one invests on cryptocurrency and also what precautions can be done ?

However bitcoin is risky of invest,but bitcoin accept many other level people.So bitcoin invest is not fully risky in our country.We are some invest very surely profitable.

The actual reason of investing is to have a profit. To be successful in this field we must have good knowledge of the market and everything related to this. After taking all these steps carefully we can make the percentage of risk low. Anyway investing on crypto-currency is quite risky when we don't know all about it. With proper knowledge and experience we can make good profit by investing on it.   

To invest in crypto is better you do research first on the coins you want to buy, because crypto is very risky. And when the price falls, do not you panic and think you will lose, but hold the coins you have because crypto will not fall forever and surely will someday increase its value.

losing your money. all of your money and time.
example.
1. Trade, If we trade with arrogant nothing use the strategy, we just spend the money and time. So for the better, we must know the strategy. trading strategy.

2. ICO. If we will invest the money in ICO we must know the platform, the technology, the innovation, team. and for the important thing, we must know the fund for what. from all the thing I say we can know the better of ICO, so your investment will safe or will profit.

Other than the obvious point of the risk of losing part of your investment due to regular price changes and such, there's over extending yourself with all the various leveraged trading accounts that are offered these days.

Then the big one that we see over and over resulting in people losing all of their investment being lake of securing their coins and various accounts. Even people who are well educated about Bitcoin and crypto in general make mistakes that result in losing access to their crypto. Whether it's them making a mistake that results in them losing access to their private keys(losing a seed for example), or actually having them stolen by someone else, it happens too frequently unfortunately. And it's always sad to see.

risks are you may lose your money you invested or the other way around which is to gain profit. my humble advice is to search about the currency you are about to invest with look at its fluctuation history and reviews from analysts which coins can survive and which are not. and most of all if you are that sure of investing just invest money you can afford to lose,never go all out.

Investing in bitcoin is not risky.  It should be taken decision prudently.  Wait and watch market trends .  Buy at lower levels. Inpatient actions need not be taken haste makes waste.

all types of investments have risks, if you are not prepared for the risks, I recommend to silence. Investing here in crypto certainly has a risk, if you make one wrong move then surely you will lose depending on how much you invest

First of all you are the one choosing the risk when you invest like if you want to have some huge profit you gonna invest more of your savings but if you like less risk then invest only what you can afford to lose. that's the main rule of investing.

There are a lot of risk in investing in cryptocurrency and I believe that the risk in investing in here, is too big. And the biggest thing in here is all ining your money in your investment in one coin. Diversify your portfolio is a must.

Any kind of investment should be risk if your not knowledge in skills.Specially in cyrptoland  the votalite and unpredictable price is hard to predict that even proffessional,trader will not always win ..much better to learn before decide to invest,cause you must only responsible to your own risk if your money will lose, due to your own mistake, reminder if your mind are full of knowledge your pocket will be follow.

Witnessing my personal experience, some common factors involving risk are:

1.Choosing the wrong exchange
2.Panic selloff
3.Loosing passwords or private key
4.Choosing wrong ICOs and cryptocurrencie
5.Being too much greedy
6.Keeping blind faith on popular cryptocurrency

A common risk that often happens is a hacked wallet.
As recently as there are frequent attacks on Myetherwallet accounts, Many MEW Users lose their tokens due to carelessness in entering private key on phishing websites.
The most appropriate way to solve the hacking problem for MEW is to install Ad on EAL, Cryptonite and Metamask also anti-virus to kill malware.

so be careful for entering as much as possible if this site are look so unfamiliar make some research for it before you trust it and of course there is such point that ypu dont have to enter your private key on it.

the name risks of investing inevitably exists. and we how to go through and through the risk itself. if we can meliwati we will win. if not then it will be a loss and just the experience and story we get without any result .

There are many risks to invest in this cryptocurrency. but the main thing is that we will lose money and time. and to overcome the risk, you should analyze the market movement if you want to profit in investment or make 2FA in your wallet so as not to be hacked

The risk that can be invested in crypto is between token or coin scam and that happens a lot this month.
But it can be prevented by the way we have to thoroughly look at the project website and see the development path ico a project, you should choose an open project so you can see the progress of the project and you can monitor for the future coin or tokens that you hold.
You have to believe and believe if you have invested because do not get the wrong step when you are in the middle of the journey because you can not get maximum results.

Investment is to get more profits, but the most important thing is not to lose your capital. It's hard to do it. The encryption market is always accompanied by this sharp fluctuation. It is the most important thing to control our risk.I think the most important thing is not to buy all at once.

The biggest risk when investing in crypto is that you will lose all of your capital when you pick the wrong coin or fail the project. To prevent this, you only need to find as much information as you want to choose altcoin or invest altcoin. And when the price of your coin down do not panic then you sell your coins away from the price of capital when you buy it.

Risk is clear in participating in ICO but to see scam project sometimes it will remain vague until the end of the public sale like what happened in savedroid.
The only way to reduce the risk is by a kind a personal research for an ICO in any trustworthy sites like icorating. So don't invest for the amount that you are not willing to lose.

I do not see any risk in investing, because this is a fairly stable system.

Well there are many risks involved when one invests in Bitcoin. Some of them include getting your coins hacked or stolen, losing your private keys, forgetting your wallet password, the price dropping heavily due to some bad news and many such risks. But with these high risks you get high rewards too.

Whenever you make an investment there is a certain degree of associated risk. It varies in size based on the type of the investment and the amount you invest. These risks are governed by multiple factors, both internal to the organization as well as external. The stability of the company/coin/stock, trustworthiness, growth potentials, team, etc. are some of the internal factors and the inflation, news, competition, government policies, legislative matters, etc. are the external factors. Hence, prior to any kind of investment, the investor must do a proper financial analysis to find out the risks, ROI and other important aspects of the investment and based on that the investment decision should be taken.

And how do you think yourself?  :) you came here and right after created a new topic about the question which was repeated here a hundred times for sure. Why not just to use search and type there your questions? You have found how to start a new topic, I guess it won't be hard for you to use 'search'. Surf the forum few days, if you really a newbie and have tons of questions you will be able to find all replies on all possible questions of typical newbie :)

Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile, so your huge profits can turn into losses anytime. Due to their anonymous nature these could be used by scammers or criminal to fraud people. Cyber crimes can easily take place due to the absence of central authority. There are no rules and regulations for solving the disputes related to cryptocurrencies. So investors cannot seek any legal help in case of any fraud.

The risk of investing in cryptocurrency is loss. Which can come in several ways including failure of ICO and bad trading. Loss through ICO can arise  as poor management of the projects. You can mitigate the risk by making sure you researched on the projects you want to invest in.

There are many risks in invests on Cryptocurrency. Like, risk of loss, risk of invest in a scam project and lose all money, risk of hacking. There is a risk in every business or investment. Some are normal some are accidental. Before investing anywhere everyone has to learn well about the product and every related thing with that business including risk factors. Then must make a plan how to avoid risks and make a profit from the investment.

Investing is risky I do admit it. But if we can follow some rules like: knowing the market, achieving experiences, having acute passion for better timing and some more things. If all these are combined together then we can take a safe risk-free action on investing on BTC. Then BTC can become your love of investing source.

I will say yes Investing on Bitcoin is not risky if we buy on the dip and sell on the top. or hold if the price going down.

Yes, that is true. Its undeniable that there's always risk in making investments. Its like you are gambling wherein you have only two options, to win or lose. Success in investing on crypto can only be achieved if you follow some strategic moves. You have to select the best coin to buy and follow the "buy low, sell high" strategy to have good profits.

Investment always has the Risk Word; every investor is taking this risk to make something useful. The safest invest is now to invest in Bitcoin. Ask me why? Then I would recommend you to look into the crypto market, what is happening now? We saw bitcoin hits 20K USD, and now it is under 8K USD!! So, what proves here? It means it is the best and the safest moment to invest in bitcoin. For me, there is no risk, for now, to invest in bitcoin. Buy now this dip, and you will make good profits within few weeks.

The market can go more down, but that will not big deal if you buy now. Buy now and keep them hold for 2 or 3 Months. If you want to earn quick money, then you shouldn't invest in Bitcoin.

one of the risks in investing is the fall of the coin price we have bought but if we patiently hold it and wait for the price of the coin back up it certainly is not a serious risk in my opinion

There are too many and too great risks whenever one is investing on cryptocurrency. Of which it includes the sudden dump in its value, the banning of the currency itself, or a fail ICO. This is why you must learn how to earn cryptocurrency by participating in bounties.

I'm very new to crypto and am really glad i have found this forum. Lots of great advice, thanks!

One of the biggest types is that the virtual currency Bitcoin is not provided with anything. Absolutely all national currencies. Electronic currencies are secured by the assets of the companies that created them. And here at кpиптoвaлют such maintenance is absent!

The risk is only when the price falls but you still will not lose it entirely, if you can not be patient you can still take the money you have invested even if it is not 100%, the most important action if investing in crypto is to be patient and stay confident if the market will recover in the future. If you are able to be patient for a long time, then you will have the opportunity to gain a good profit as well.

Crypto currency now brings very good profits. However, in any kind of business, there is a rule that if it is able to generate high profits, then the higher the profit opportunity, the greater the risk that this kind of business will have. Crypto currency is no exception. It is believed that the most risky in the crypto currency is investing in ICO projects and trading on exchanges, that is, where there is a possibility of obtaining the greatest profit.

Losing?
Precautions may be setting up a stop loss maybe?
I dunno pls write below what you think let's brainsto... hafgaahaahahahhahah ;D

There are many risks, except the risk that coins easily crash while can also give 100% profit in a day, hacking and unpredictability are significant risks.

it is very risky though it is subjective depends on the country you are living in as there are many restrictions in many countries and the n there is a risk that the prices may drop drastically and if you are not cautious enough you might end up loosing a lot of your money so before make yourself familiar with the market and do keep an eye on the news and forums for daily updates and make sure you dont take decisions in a hurry and plan your move before investing

Investing in BTC or one of top 10 alts is a pretty safe bet in the long run.

all investments are very risky as well this crypto is an investment that can be profitable and make your loss should be ready it. learning a lot of science about coin projects, candle analysis and all about crypto is very important to prevent loss and get the profit

His name is also business, the risk is common. We are investing in Cryptoxurrency certainly hope we will benefit in the future. but it does not mean that our efforts to invest our money into Cryptocurrency without risk, In krypto we also can lose. for example we do not get a profit, or even the value of our assets decreases. and the most severe is our money lost because in steal hackers.

The major risk is that the company owners would run with your money if the project in which you are investing is a scam and also its pretty easy to be fooled online as it only requires some basic knowledge and a few hundred dollars to build your own project, but the way of marketing makes the difference.

Well the main risk is the price itself mainly due to fluctuations. Though btc has become quite stable compared to 2017 where there was a tremendous change in price at every instant. Other risk is rate of return sometimes with crypto there will be a long waiting period before reaping any profits.

Yup, Investing cryptocurrency are very risky, It requires timing, and the best time to invest when the market are bloody because crypto's are normally fluctuating, All you have to do is hold your coins and never panic, just wait for the right time to bounce back. :)

Yes in the long run but of course your profit are still not guaranteed and there is always risk on your investment. First, risk on securing your wallet, because a lot of scammers are doing well on scamming the wallet of every investors so you must protect it. Second, the risk on losing money since this market is highly volatile even a good coin can make your money lose so make sure you knew this thing before you invest.

It all depends upon what all coins you are planning to enter and the price at which you are planning to enter, it is the most important thing you have to consider before investing, the markets are really volatile and never sell off the coins at a loss, there are a lot of projects and ICO coming out on a daily basis, make sure you learn about the project carefully before investing and never listen to reviews or opinions that the price would get to a certain level in a short period or invest in pump and dump coins, make sure you only invest in top coins in the market.

Don't ever invest more than you're okay with losing.

yes crypto is very risky. you must be sure before investing. use your money by selecting a coin that has a good prospect before you invest and use the correct method of selling and buying everything should be right and be careful

The risk is the same than the other type of investment such as stock market, VUL, mutual funds, etc. Why is it? Volatility is there and you must be aware of it before investing. Most of the newbies are investing to crypto's and hopes that they'll earn and take out the profit for a very short period of time. Some are in success and some failed, to those who failed, they are the ones who are complaining that the market is too volatile but the fact they never understand on how crypto works.
Friendly tip.

everyone knows that investing has a big risk like risk if the declining trend of the crypto you invested, Scam ico is big issues, the chances of buying into a scam is increasing with the introduction of a lot of junk altcoins designed to steal your BTC through direct trading of BTC to those coins. Also the many iCOs enabled by ETH are a concern as they are backed up by nothing,You should therefore carefully consider whether trading in digital assets or any levered or derivative digital assets is suitable for you in light of your financial condition.

Crypto generally for now is risky because it is going through perilous times now. A lot of people, countries and many more are against it now. But if it wins. Then crypto world will be in charge of this world. So it's your choice. It's worth taking the risk now and enjoy later

One risk of investing is the risk of loss, you have to learn about the market to be able to know the basic and the needs to become successful, to invest is to risk. But risks can be avoided if you are able to deal with it properly. To take risk is taking a challenge on how to become in the top of the field you invest on.

Investment of any kind is full of risk. If you cannot invest in right place there is a chance of loss. Your investment may not return. Similarly if you cannot choose the right coin from crypto market then there is a chance of huge amount of loss.

So, before investment everybody should study the market the take the decission for investment. We should also know market related news. Without knowing anything we should not proceed to crypto market.

By default investing means that your giving something with belief that you will get something more in return.
There are always risks involved when you're investing in something.
If you can't make the risk then don't invest.
BTC is dropping in price right now but it should go above 10k by the end of the year.
Is that a safe bet or not It's up to you to decide.

There are many risks in if we want to invest in bitcoin but we can prevent the risk by minimizing the possibility of losses that we will get.

Cryptocurrency is the most risky place to invest, but behind it also the benefits are huge. to prevent it does not seem to exist, but we can minimize a loss by stopping at a point where we will not lose too much

investment risk is very small if compared with trading, when you invest in bitcoin, you should pay attention to your wallet security, if you have a large investment, I suggest that you keep your investment assets in hard wallet, like ledger.

and besides that, you must always check and analyze all good factor that can make bitcoin rises.

It is an investment so it is risky just learn how to take risk and also it is a good idea to invest in crypto.
Crypto have a potential to grow. Do some research in what coin you want to invest in and minimize the possibility to of losing.

When you enter the world of cryptocurrency make it sure that you can take a risk because here  in cryptocurrency when you invest you are always taking a risk and when ever you go that all investment was to risky even the stock exchange is almost same formula and same risky their is no assurance that you earn or lose because of the value fluctuation so that you need was patient and taking risk.

Before we will invest in cryptocurrency, then we must know in advance the risks we will face.
the first risk is, vulnerable to hack. Hacking is happening at the end of 2017, one of the existing digital currency exchange dikorea back attacked by hackers that resulted in bankruptcy in the company.
the second is the occurrence of "Hard fork" which resulted in unstable price.
the third is the nature of fluctuating cryptocurrency, the price can change so quickly every second.
the fourth is the emergence of new technologies that can turn off the old technology.
and the last is there is no security when our property is exposed to hacker attacks.

for the prevention of always being careful in investing, first recognize the project and invest it with unused property so as not to lose if one day it happens.

Crypto investment is truly a risky investment.Only thing which could be done is that prior analysis must be made to track the most under valued coin before investing.

Investment risk whether in cryptocurrencies or in other ventures will always be present. We can never be sure if we will earn or become successful in our investments due to a lot of factors such as competitors, market value, econimic stability, media influence, government intervention, etc. Investment is not always a fairy tale where there is a happy ending. It will fall on us by making the right decisions.

Any investment was risky even this crytocurrency or stock exchange was to risky because there is no assurance that you earn specially as of now the value was falling down so it means when you buy in the high value and now its fall it means you lose so this is the risky what i mean but you need to do was patient.

You are right, despite a big risk but cryptocurrency also brings huge benefits if we are able to reduce these risk factors. One way is to learn the techniques of market analysis, update the news. If we are afraid of risk, we can never move forward.

But i think you will never get lose if you don't make panic selling in time of dips.Just learn to be more patient and continue holding your coin.I think investing in cryptos has alwas been risky so learn to choose potential coins where to invest and do not put all your investments in one basket,diversify them.

Any kind of investment is very risky not only on crypto currency. If you want to hold coins it is better to hold BTC or ETH.

If you want other crypto you must first research something about it first especially if the coins is just came our of the market.

And lastly have patience don't sell your coins if you see market is going down, just wait it will pump again.

Indeed, the risk in cryptoworld is very high that can actually make your capital lost especially if you are not familiar yet about cryptocurrency. We can minimize the risk by keeping yourself updated about the current situation and know how to trade and invest properly. Keep yourself busy knowing new things and don’t ever give up easily.

The most important thing is never to rush into investing it's risky, instead careful observation, research and analyze should be taken before investing.

 when talk about investment beside on that is risk , risk interm of your money loose. So risk and loose is the way to your success. Is like a learning process if you loose  right now maybe next time you succeed. but if you hesitate to do that way to invest even a small amount of your money im very sure that you are not success even ones in your lifetime in trading.

In every investment, there is always a risk involved. To be able to minimize the unseen risk, I would suggest that before you make an investment, see to it that you had made your study and research on the coin for you investment. Analyze the market trend and use the graphical price history record as your reference in your analysis. Then once your done, you may start to invest with a coin that you are potentially convince that will give a promising profit.

I agree, when investing you have to take such risk. expect the worst so that you don't regret anything in the end. Its your choice.But, also it will be a win win situation if the amount that you invest grow. Guard the highs and lows of bitcoin graph

Risk of Bitcoin investment I think : stress, time, opportunity costs
So I no longer check the chart when I bought it.
The chart doesn't make Bitcoin go up, it's all about stress.
You just watch the situation.

As i know,in every investment there's a risks,but there's also a rewards. You should make first a plan,better strategies,to avoid the risks.and to earn more profits in every investment.

The risk in investing in cryptocurrency is loosing of ones investment but it can be avoid if follow the right procedure. Meanwhile, the precautions which I will advice you to do is always ask question about the project (ICO) you want to invest in but if you want to invest into altcoin I will advice you to always go for coin which is available on different exchange, good historical data with volume and always swap your holding to Tether if any bloodbath or worst want to occur to avoid loosing your money.  Besides, don't sell your coin at lost price an it better for you to hold and wait for the price to pump back before selling.

There are always risks when investing. In order to minimize them you need:
1) Carefully analyze the market of cryptocurrency.
2) Choose the most promising.
3) To invest 10-15% of the bank in each of them.
4) Do not panic if the price falls on them (but there are exceptions).
5) Keep the cryptocurrency for a long time.

Investing in cryptocurrency is very rewarding than risking but if not correct coins is selected to trade one you may lose all that you have. That is why profit must be withdrawn periodically to invest in tangible things so that when you risk what is left you must have something to lean on.

There are several risks in investing in cryptocurrencies. One of these include investing in ICO and the project failing. Huge amount of money can be lost in such situation. Another way is through hacking. Your account can be hacked and all your coins stolen. One way to prevent all these is to read and do extensive research before you invest and again understanding and applying all the security measures for your wallet in order to be safe.

When you invest in anything you can lose your money in anysecond because of many problems can happen like the stolen of your invested money by hackers or by the creator of that investment program also if you invest your money in hyip investment sites you can lose your money because of closure of these hyip investment sites

At present time, investing is extremly risky - it's like gambling. The reason why it is so, that all altcoins depend on price of bitcoin and eth, everyone knows that now we cant predict its price. Also, there are lots of scam projects, and at the end, everyone can loss his money.

Not for at present time.. all of the time all investment in crypto have a risk. like you say, it’s a gambling. for all cryptocurrency, if we don’t have a strategy and knowledge for investment or trade, we will lose our money. Predict is riskier if we use the wrong concept.

With bitcoin as well other digital currencies even if they're in the wallet under our control we'll get the earning when the price peaks. With investment we give it under the control of a third party getting a periodic earning. This why it is risky than normal holding.

1. You can lose all your money. Therefore, do not invest credit money, only those that you can lose. 2. Choose reliable exchanges. 3. Protect your system from viruses. 4. Keep your passwords and keys to your wallets securely.

As of 2018, no investor has been able to win, but has suffered constant losses. Even the pre-eminent eb quality ICO has suffered at least 100% damage. People are not investing in these market factors anymore. and they are trying to get rid of their losses.

It is a big risk cause if you invest in some alts which are not sure and their price is speculated to go up at the same time could just fall down, so investing in coin need to be thought X times before doing anything.

The risk is that you lose the money you invest.

Precaution: Don't listen if someone is fooling you with the coin they invested and tells you that it will be a big coin soon.

What I can suggest you is learn before you invest in crypto currency. Crypto currency is indeed very risky, specially because the price fluctuates a lot. But, it is for long term investment. In short term you may face loss. But, gradually you can make a huge amount of money out of it.

Cryptography is risky in principle. Here you need knowledge and iron endurance. And when the price falls, you should not panic. Keep the coins that you have, surely their value will increase

But for example if you buy now 1BTC/ETH and put it on your hardware or paper wallet and hide it somewhere where only you know, what is the risk of being scammed?
You're just hodling and your money isn't on any exchange. You're waiting for the right moment to sell and make a nice profit.
Of course, the risk is there because everything could crash at any moment but come on, when you're investing in something the risk will always be involved.

Investing in crypto is risky. The prime reason behind this is the market inconsistency. The precautions we can take are to invest in right time and sell it at the right time. We should have a good knowledge about crypto to understand the market. Then we will be eligible enough to bear the risk.

Arguably, the risks are marginal but you should average cost down and don't buy during hype. Always try to get in early. For example, now would be an excellent time to get in  ;D

Every investing there's a risks,but there's also a reward. If you have a doubt to invest,much better if you will gather first some strategies that can help you how to become a successful investor. Also,the acceptance for all the possible results of your investing is really needed,much better if you invest only a enough capital that you are willing to lose.

every single business in this earth has some risk man, you have to be smart enough to overcome those risk. smart people are treading here, and becoming gainer also.

The risk of investing in cryptocurrency is that you can not be sure of the growth of the price of one or another token in the future

A lot of risk with investing in crypto is with being scammed...because there's open-source code and it's decentralized, it's not difficult to fall into a scheme if you aren't informed. Use precaution by having a secure wallet, like hardware, and know what types of scams are out there and how to avoid them which we discuss more in our blog post:

Hope this helps!

Time is your worst enemy. And time can also be your risk. Why? If you’re going to invest in crypto, you must learn how each currency behaves. You lose some, you win some. Now, why time? Cause investing money is easy, but time will keep you busy. Sometimes you waited so much you earned nothing. You’re money is still there of course, but you lost your time and effort for nothing, and that can be one cause of laziness to keep up in crypto.

The biggest risk is that, if you make a wrong move, then you might end up losing all your cryptos. To prevent this from happening, you have to be very careful. Do a thorough research before investing on any cryptocurrency. Also, use a hardware wallet to store them.

Risk and return are two related things. In the market of crypto currency every coin has risk that’s why you will have profit. There is no gain without risk. But you will have to choose the coin that has low risk compared to its return. That coin is bitcoin. It has risk that is low but high return.

In my own opinion every investments there is always a risk not only in crypto but all kinds of investsments.Not all the time the prices of the couns are high that is why we need a lot of knowledge before starting to invest.

The crypto market is extremely risky with high volatility, so only invest what you are comfortably willing to loose.  And because it is a new and mostly unregulated market, there are a lot scammers out there.  Just be extra careful and do your own independent research. 

When something is in our hands and the same is yielding as profit with regards to the growth, the risk is less when we keep it more secure. The same gets increased risk when invested, because we are leaving it on to a third party for a regular income based upon the amount. Here anything could happen, all that we do is on mutual trust.

There are of course several risks to consider before investing, some could be: market risk, default risk, inflation risk, mortality risk,liquidity risk etc and many more.
So the best thing to do I will suggest is to Spend some time to think about the risks of your investments. You may discover that your tolerance for risk is lower than you expected or that you’ll need to adjust to accepting more risk in order to meet your financial goals.

Investing is a fast profitable way in Bitcoin. But the risk is make sure that the website that you will willing to invest is a legit. Another risk is when the value of the bitcoin will decrease. If that happen, to much money will loss for you.

every balanced portfolio also includes a portion of bitcoin and co. each asset is filled to different parts. At kryto, the risk is only higher

Balanced portfolio is very important. You should never have fewer than 5-6 coins. If you invest everything in one coin you're risking a lot.

Investment without research is quite dangerous. For example, it is necessary to carefully investigate the distribution percentage of tokens per period, whether the team exists properly

There are risks in everything you do and crypto is not an exception. You have to read about the whitepaper paper and project you want to invest in. You dont have to put all your eggs in one basket so that when you lose, you will lose massively.

risk comes with zero knowledge. if you have proper knowledge about any alt coin their aim, targets, uniqueness and you truly believe the team will deliver than is is obvious that investing in such project could reduce the risk of being failure but if you invest in any project without having technical or fundamental knowledge you could lose your hard earn money

If the world curbs crypto currency, it ends.

I think if you choose good projects with nice team to investing in ICO or buy tokens on exchange it's too risky but can be hold give more profit than stable BTC/ETH

The biggest risk of investing in cryptocurrency is ICO, followed by your blind investment. To avoid these risks, you should first understand its project in detail before investing, and even communicate with its team!

In every business there is risk. But before you invest you have to read more about crypto and know more about the kind of investment you are going into. By even if the coin falls it will raise again with time. 

Risk is you lose your money in investing. precautions that can be than is Research the coin that you wanted to invest in if it's promising coin or have a high chance that you will gain profit.

Risk = You put in money and you lose it all.

The crypto space is currently pretty speculative and high-risk.

I would spend a solid few days learning about any crypto you are wanting to invest money in. Use sites like CoinCheckUp, this forum, and news sites like CCN to learn about the crypto.

Cheers and good luck!

Any investment can be risky, and that is true not only for the crypto industry. There are a few rules I would follow when investing. The first and most important rule is to check who the crypto is offering. Just go through the web search engine quickly. Do not forget to how much activity team has. If he communicates daily on social networks, he tries to answer questions to investors and regularly reports on the next course, you have nothing to worry about. I would also divide my portfolio of investments into multiple cryptos.

Three risks of investing in crypto that every one should be educated about:

1) Your account is hacked!
It is a risk that when your exchange account is hacked, there is high chance that your amounts will be completely loss. To prevent this, invest in offline cold storage, not on the exchange house network.

2) Scam broker!
