What do you guys think are the real risks of cryptocurrencies and are there any ways of overcoming them? I've attached a good article below that covers a lot of the solutions to what people consider problematic at the moment, and it essentially says most of the risks are down to the user and not the technology (i.e. lack of education). Am interested to hear your opinions.

The interesting article: https://medium.com/@DDhopn/what-are-the-risks-of-buying-crypto-ff1c991a6c83

P.S. I am heavily involved in crypto, just keeping an open mind

It will always be the user and not the technology. The lack of knowledge and understanding is really what drives the risks in any kind of industry. Let us have an anology: for instance you would want to learn how to drive a motorbike the risk of being in an accident is not to be blamed to the bike but rather your knowledge and experience on how to drive it.

Users can expose flaws in the technology but if the flaws aren't there in the first place then there's nothing for them to expose. The biggest risk for investors is always loss of capital, aside from that I don't really see any risks.

The risks are simple and easy
Crypto currency can make you very richer than before
More similarly but opposites, crypto can make you poorer than ever and even leave you debts

So be smart and learn your way around

1) User transaction error: Transaction are final in this face. When one carelessly send cryptocurrency into the wrong wallet address.
2) Loss of private key: When the private key is missing, it cannot be recover and all the crypto store in such wallet are gone forever.

These are some of the major real risk of crypto.

There are really tons  of risks. It only depends on the person on how you would see it, lean on the benefits or the cons. If which side are you more inclined then your bias must be there no matter what. So the first should be proper mindsetting and then follow the other discourse that can have effects on your disposition in this space.

The individual has played an important role in this case. As you can see so many people have been taking the wrong decision and that depends on their minds. Basically any risks in crypto can be avoided as long as you have a very good knowledge in the cryptocurrency. So far it's about how good your analyzation to the crypto is/

I agree with you. The main risks fall on the user of cryptocurrency. His safety depends entirely on himself. But one of the risks of crypto is possible regulation. After all, already now there is an active adoption of laws on it and soon there will be only more of them. If the state begins to interfere in crypto and introduce some prohibitions, then perhaps this will have a bad impact on the crypto-currency market.

How about normal phenomena? it is one risk of crypto when something unexpected happens and it affected the area and destroyed the entire of having no internet connection then that's one risk right? We can't use crypto's offline and when there are events like that what do you think is the best solution?

The inherent risks in crypto are there for all to see. The fact that it's make or mar. It could make you rich and equally leave you badly impoverished than ever. Loss of private keys which can result in loss of funds and then hack of one's wallet

as i know crypto with blockchain tech is an experimental project
so, there is a lot of risk in crypto my friend
such as,, if the experimen failed, crypto will have no value in the future,,
but, 100% i believe crypto will be success   ;)

The risk in cryptography is that they are hard to control, but we should be careful, and especially to prevent hackers from attacking our wallets, using meta-mas or 2FA security accounts such as authery. .... that would be safer for us.

The biggest risk is probably that cryptocurrency can die. Then it will be a failure for everyone, even for those who are well versed in this field and always make their investments wisely. But as we all understand cryptocurrency will not be able to die, so we have to be smart enough to minimize the risks.

Big risks in cryptocurrency it is an opportunity to lose all the investments. Who does not risk that does not live richly.

The only serious risk may be a thoughtless decision to invest all the money in one coin without diversification or to invest in trading without a certain approach  ::)

I agree that those risk brought a bad sides to crypto ever since the current problems occurs. However, the moments we been experiencing still part of the growing development of crypto. So the risk will always be there, and without facing it you won't be able to have the potential profits that you wanted.

For me, I consider it a risk in cryptocurrency if it involves luring people to something that is not true and end up losing their investments. This is what happened to me just recently. I have invested in an ICO the previous year, the. Now, I am being exit scammed at. Yes, it is true that cryptocurrency will make you rich but come to think of it, because of anonymity, ceo can just bail out whenever they want--without a track.

Of course everything depends on the user. All risks for safety are born on himself by the user - and has to be. Nobody will undertake them. At the choice of the project you have to rely only on the knowledge. Analyzing independently the project behind the project, you lower risks for yourself to get on swindlers or to be deceived.

I believe that there is always a risk in any investment particularly in cryptocurrencies since there are scam ICO's in the crypto market that are uncontrollable on the side of the forum's admin. I think the most important thing to do atleast to minimize any risk is to gain more knowledge and understanding about cryptocurrency. Research and study the ICO or the existing altcoin you wish to invest. Analyze properly the market trend before you proceed with your investment.

It's the reality. Crypto, as many people said, is very risky. If you only think that crypto gives you the big profits without risks, you are absolutely wrong. Crypto has many risks that can make you lose your money and investment. Such as scams, failed ICO, dead coins, dropped prices, and also unstable market that will elad everyone to lose the money. But, why many people are still here? Because we believe, because we can take the chance of this crypto characteristic to turn into profits. As long as we make the smart and right decision and strategy, we can utilize the opportunity in the market. As what everyone does on the investment.

Investors are at risk in cryptography at the moment, I don’t see any risks anymore, I think that everything will not be so difficult in the future and people will actually create their own projects, they will be appreciated and immediately bought on the exchanges with their own money or directly to the project, but it’s still a long time to wait

The risk in Crypto is when an investor did not secure his wallet very he stands to loose all his funds,  Crypto is still have volatile, prices changes have fast, if not properly monitored you can loose your fund in a short period.

Lack of education, that can be extremely difficult because even in my own religion scripture it's clearly stated that "my people perish because they lack wisdom. I believe this is also having important wrote in Cryptocurrency because most mistakes comes from self made or I call it personal error. Being learned doesn't mean you are wise but it gives you fast sense of understanding and you can also understand others opinion. Though there are series of projects which is Scam and if not care is taken regardless of being learned or not can still fall for it. You just have to be extremely careful.

The real risk is when the investor isn't aware of what he's doing.

He just buy coin as he wishes and that's making him look like ignorant at all. Why he looks like that? because after buying when the coin he bought starts to plummet, you'll only bad words from him and regrets that he bought that coin. Knowing what and where to invest is a real risk for crypto investors.

There are a lot of risks, but usually there where there are big risks and big profits. so I think that you need to take risks, but not all the money, of course.

I see the real risk in crypto currency is that when do in investment or trading it is hard to know if your investment or trading will be successful anytime but if you have to keep on researching and keep all the advices of all the people who are more on experience i think everything will be okey.

It is true, the lack of education with regards to crypto really contributes to the risk of user to lose money. In my opinion, cryptocurrency is not risky and i view it as an opportunity for an individual to get out of financial slavery. Volatility is the number one thing that a new user of crypto must study and know how to work around it.

It is probably quite difficult to find and explain the real risk of the use of Blockchain technology in Cryptocurrency. I think all risks are on the user itself, as we know that crypto currency is p2p transactions that free from any institutions or entity in the transactions. So, nothing an authority want to take responsible for any transactions. Therefore, the best way to minimize and anticipate the risks by much reading towards much better understanding about Crypto. The lack comprehension and knowledge about Crypto will be a big problem and cause risks.

I think the real risk in the Crypto world is that if you invest your money in crypto and experience a bad market like now, of course, you will experience losses and in my opinion these losses are real. that's the risk because Crypto's price is very unstable.

IMF said that cryptocurrency doesn't have any significant risk to global finance. However, in the side of retail investors, especially to ICOs, utility tokens are in high risk, since almost those tokens cannot be applied to any real business and human-life activity.

the most obvious risk is that Crypto be deepening sometimes underestimated by many. many are always in a hurry will crypto and this is a bad thing. as a result, the market is very volatile and full of this scam will be hard to evolve with the circumstances that exist.

In crypto world you can tell that the higher the risk the higher the reward that's why a lot of investors fail because they take risks in investing into crypto specially into icos. Since the crypto boomed and made noise last year many were encouraged to invest in the market without knowing what the market is all about. Greed is one of the factor that will trigger into making risks.

cryptocurency is a technology that may mean the risk that arises for people who use the cryptocurency, in this case investors and devteams, according to me the risk is to go against the law with all the consequences for those who are not legalizing coins the second is loss of capital or loss.

The risk is not caused by the users, it is due to the effect of built-in characteristics of the cryptocurrency which is decentralized and unregulated. It's hard to put the blame to the user, knowing that the technology accompanied in cryptocurrency also has some setbacks and lapses that need to be resolved. When these issues wod have been resolved, I think every thing might follow.

The most prominent risk is losing investment in crypto, this is already a lot of people experiencing, so it's not surprising that many people are disappointed and choose to leave. For those who never give up, they will continue to explore crypto, so they are able to produce.

I somehow agree with your post that most of the risks are because of users and not the technology itself. Well any innovation no matter how advance it may be will always have its flaws, but users must be responsible enough to handle those flaws since it is an s.o.p already that before you go and jump with any venture like cryptocurrency one must be equipped with knowledge so he would know how to handle certain risks. I could say that the very worse risk one may undergo is to lose his money and/or investment capital with icos and others like crypto trading.

I think by coming in cryptocurrency with half baked knowledge about it could be the real risk here, cause the tech in cryptocurrency is keep on increasing and there will be something new anytime and many altcoin that are created from time to time, event that the real deal of just a fake one.
SO we had to gather as many information as possible and keep on learning to really know the risk in this crypto world.

I think that the real risk is not totally with cryptocurrency but it's the lack of knowledge for people participating in doing investment with zero knowledge. People should have basic knowledge capable of understanding the market trend and the capability to do research on a particular coin for investment. With this, I believe the risk may anyhow be lessen if you have the knowledge and skill to do analysis about the cryptocurrency market condition.

Risk are always intact with investment and combined along the way. Especially in this kind of field, which crypto shows a volatile movement of market. I think it will be better to study first before diving into a risky business like this. The article you shared is good source and must a read for newbies but the content always not be the same. Sometime risking is also need brain work, we can relate it to war that needs tactics to win the game.

The main risk lies in the man himself. When he invests his money, fear and greed lead him to lose his deposit.

I would say that the major risks of crypto are in legitimacy issues of rougue tokens, and of obsolecence caused by superior competitive currencies doing what your initial coin did only better. The volatile nature means that as well as generating large fast profits in a bill run they can also drop in value by up to 99% at times also.

In my opinion, the real risk of crypto is when participants are not ready for knowledge, experience and hasty decisions. In addition, market volatility is also a factor for risk ...

Of course there is a risk, which is definitely going up and down, that will certainly happen in the world of cryptocurrency and that is one of the risks, still be wise whatever it is

In my opinion, risk in crypto is due to many factors: attacked wallet, due to market crisis suddenly, due to lack of knowledge, experience of crypto ...

no problem for users there will be no market trend, someone should lose in this game.

The risk of holding less quality coin is that you get the value of your coin depleted over time.  And you can also be stuck on a coin for sometime because it take development for a coin to gain value!

But the most important risk in this market is the price drop, the risk of falling prices can make us wobble and lose our minds, make decisions that are lacking in wisdom, so in my opinion So worry, consider before deciding to invest in cryptography.

No risk no gain bro. Nothing can achieve without taking the risk. Falling price, hackers, and scammer as well are the worst risk in crypto but you want to be the gainer then you must overcome this risk. You must be serious about your assets and wallets security if you do them carefully then you can shine here.

      The crypto market involves the same risks as gambling. You can become richer or poorer. The difference between the crypto market and gambling is that the crypto market is very likely to make huge profits and lower chances to lose. The downside is that for profits in the crypto market, you have to wait longer, being long-term investments. Other risks of the crypto market are related to user security. There are people who lose their private keys and can no longer connect to their wallets and lose their money. Another risk is given by trading errors on different platforms.

The risk of getting looted to scammed is the biggest one. Most of the time people loosing their money in the scam projects only. Otherwise just look at the market, the bitcoin itself is very stable as compared to other crypto coins or at least it has the potential to recover itself whenever there is worst dump that comes up front. So we can rely on it and there is very much less risk involved as compared to other coins.
The risk is only in terms of altcoins. With ever changing crypto related regulations it is now getting hard for investors to believe in some projects which do not follow them and may get ceased, shut down and much more. Basically lots of risks according to situations.

The real risk of crypto for me and many newbies is the constant and stealthy scams of the scammers. We lack a lot of experience in this business, which is good for scammers, so we are taking the bitcointalk to understand more about them.

The investment of encryption is the human factor. We will judge whether the project is good or bad according to our instinct. And then invest. Human emotions play a very important role in this. People's emotions completely affect investment decisions. So we must learn more about encrypt knowledge. Keep yourself awake to the project.

crypto currencies fluctuate, too risky sometimes if you want to trade because of price volatility, we can all see a very drastic improvement in 2017 and 2018 and indeed very much needed here our knowledge and emotional

very good solution, and very beneficial. but my simple solution so that we avoid the risks mentioned is, we have to have a lot of knowledge and a lot of experience, so I guarantee you will be protected from those risks.

There are many risks in crypto. Our wallet, computer and exchanges could be hacked. Crypto value is not stable and we could lose funds, especially when we hold non quality coins. About investment, there are too much scam project and we will lost funds if invest in those scams.

The risk is to do with humans investing in good and bad projects as they will be doing so to make money, but also technology will be a problem as we are a decade away from quantum computing and most are not yet quantum resistant

The cryptocurrency user is in constant fear of losing money from the actions of fraudsters. The safety of the participant depends on itself. Another risk and fear is that government laws can be introduced that limit or prohibit the conduct of work in cryptography.

I think that the real risks of crypto are connected with the fact that not all people accept crypto still considering it the one that you can't rely on. to my mind, it is better to avoid risks and keep coins

Cryptocurrencies have a high risk because there is no guarantee that we will benefit in the future after we invest, simply speaking we can be richer than before, or can be poorer than before. I agree, with the opinion that the biggest risk is to the user, if we don't know and have good knowledge about crypto it will be very risky, and other risks from crypto are that we don't know exactly what transactions we do with, and what kind of person we are connected to

The real risks of cryptocurrencies is that when you are investing in them you stand the risk of losing your money when the coins ends up failing and getting delisted, the market is very volatile so there is a lot of ways you will lose your money as the coins can fall in value. Mostly there is no much risks if you are investing in already established coins

Your thought was acceptable and Bitcoin is risk free cryptocurrency so this will be perfectly match for long term investment. All the crypto hunters have some Bitcoin because everyone know this potential so I strongly recommend to Bitcoin in all the scenario. The current market is really bleeding so this is the best time for Bitcoin investment.

The real risk is that there are countless scams now. It's hard to tell if they are real or a scam. If you are a little careless, you will fall into the scam trap. This is the biggest problem with crypto.
In addition, the current ICO can hardly make you get any return, they often go down the market and fall soon.

2018 is very inconvenient in terms of investing in ICO projects. Many such projects collect large amounts, but their announced project is not in demand and usually the token does not come at the price that was claimed. Very difficult period

Real risk in Crypto are loss of funds which is the general one, most delicate one it identity thief through the kyc we pass through, most of the identities stolen are used for fraud. Which in one way can affect ones day to day activities.

Yes, a lot depends on the user on his experience in this cryptocurrency market and most likely on his greed. Some people do not even think buying some kind of coin in the hope of making a lot of money there and forget about the big risks. The technology also depends a little on its security from hacker attacks, for example, 51% and so on. And from the very developer of the coins, too, he can at any moment throw all his coins into the market and then the price will collapse.

The real risk in the world of crypto currencies is to invest without doing research. you'll lose all of your money at once. Because the crypto exchange is full of surprises. investors should be constantly cautious.

for me the real risk of cryptocurrency is a scam of the coin. Many ICO and many coin are scam, and the team is not work on the company. that's why i always invest my money on the best Coin.

Lack of knowledge about investment in cryptocurrency is the things that we need to avoid because it will bring you a huge loses. The real risks in cryptocurrency is the unstable and volatile market which the price always change and there are time that the market will totally down or up.

This isn't a real risk at all.

You think that slow adoption means a risk? no it's not a risk but its a problem that we have to deal with. But this problem will soon have its own resolution as day after day there are more people that are coming in and starts to get interested with crypto's.

All the risks that you know are present in cryptocurrencies, it's no longer a secret that today cryptocurrency is a high-risk project, which in most cases obliges you to evaluate risks before you invest in anything.

the real risk is when a wallet is hacked and the balance disappears. because we cannot report to the authorities or the government about the theft. the second is the fluctuating price, but I think the risk is already being experienced by crypto users.

The real risk of the crypto is the scammers,lot of people using the anonymity of crypto currencies to scam to people in many ways like creating a scam ICO with fake team or by creating fake wallets or exchanges and sometimes scamming the people without paying the money to them.

Personally, my opinion is as follows. In our turbulent times, there is always a risk, especially when it comes to some kind of investment. And if we are engaged in cryptocurrency, then our earnings depend on the price of some kind of cryptocurrency in the market. And in this case, we can only observe and do small calculations for ourselves so as not to burn out when the price can fall very low down. You need to be always ready to save or increase your investments.

Potential investors should be aware that this is a very speculative instrument. In addition, cryptocurrencies have a number of vulnerabilities. There are cases when hackers received unauthorized access to digital wallets and crypto-currency exchanges. Thus, in 2016, investors ' funds worth more than $ 50 million were stolen from the Fund called DAO.
In addition, the cryptocurrency market is incredibly volatile. The said DAO hack led to a sharp drop in the price of Ethereum. Such events are extremely difficult to predict, and in order to avoid significant losses, the investor must constantly keep abreast of the relevant cryptocurrency community. Therefore, it is necessary to approach the issue of investment very carefully

Risk is the internal character in any business. I don't think ban is the main problem for cryptocurrencies, rather technological advancement can be a problem for crypto if better technology is seen in the upcoming days.

When the use of a thing is not known or when knowledge is is lost, then misuse is inevitable. One of the problems we have as humans is that we sometimes refuse to learn some things that would add value to us and that will be beneficial to us in future.
Most of the mistakes we make as users or humans could have been avoided had it been we had taken our time to learn the right things at the right time.

It is crypto's volatile, well actually who make some countries not legalize crypto, one reason what cause it is crypto's volatile and a lot speculation. But if price only stable, market will only have low volume and it will not good circulated.

Real risk would most likely be included on all sorts when it comes to investment. Lack of knowledge, prone to scams and swindlers, prone to hackers and more. These are the real risk and so as with
trading risk too where crypto prices are way too volatile which causes for you to lose up money instead of gaining. Risk can somehow be managed or be lessen by way of experience and gaining knowledge
gradually about on what you are engaging.

everything related to investment in real life or cryptocurrency certainly has a very high risk. crypto's real risk itself is that it is very vulnerable to fraud because there are many people who want to get profits quickly and easily by making fake projects with teams that don't have a clear reputation

investing in crypto currency has a great risk and to reduce it you need to get as much as possible different knowledge about the crypto currency

Well, there are many, here only a few:

Risking savings or too much money
Many don't use this rule and wake up badly. So don't invest more you are willing to lose and very important, don't take a loan.

FOMO & FUD!
Every research can be ruined if it's driven by FOMO or FUD. It's important to look at the facts and don't let emotions result in wrong decisions.

Avoid being hacked
It's important to be careful of hackers. Don't store too much money in exchanges, check website url to avoid entering your password on a phishing site and don't click suspicious links.

I believe that we risk losing absolutely all of our funds, but at the same time I can definitely tell you that we can earn incredible money, so I think that the risk is quite justified.

The main risk attached to crypto is loss of funds either from exchange hacks, personal wallet hacks or scam ICOs. The one caused by the user is ignorance or carelessness leading to personal wallet hacks. Exchange hacks or scam ICO issues is not solely the user's fault. Proper crypto education will help solve this a great deal, hence reducing risks to minimum.

Just like you have noted, it is all about not being educated adequately, but I'd like to call it ‘lack of information and inability to accurately interpret available information ’... Its is actually a defect that people needs to deal with

There are only 2 risks:
1st is that you will loose money by investing into a bad coin.
2nd is that you will loose money because someone will hack your private key.

I think there are two types of risks. First of all, the price of the coin that we invested in is very low. Second, trade bans stipulated by states.

there is no risk in crypto in my opinion. but if we wrongly follow the bounty campaign and there is a scam it will feel like it's useless. is that what is meant by cryptocurency risk?

The real risk of crypto-currency in my personal opinion is the way it was fluctuate its too fast and too depth. thats why the risk is very high, I think the technology is already there! but the real problem that has need to be address if its possible is to make crypto-currency stable and if possible to control the weird fluctuation trends?! disregard the law of supply and demand trends.

How come you say there is no risk involved with crypto currencies? Are just limiting the whole crypto currency scenario within bounty campaign? If so, than you got a lot to learn about crypto currencies.
Investment on crypto currencies are filled with risks. The uncertainty of the future price is one of them. You might end up buying high and sell low. This in turn might cause you to lose more than half of your investment. If you are talking about long term, then its a different thing.

The most serious and real risk is that you can lose all your invested funds and those who managed to earn all the risks that you need to understand and evaluate, are you ready for them or not.

Risks in the crypto world are increasing due to the lack of insurance for investors. Cryptocurrency is not legally protected.

Yeah, those are the scariest risk to be here. We should be ready to lose our money when we decide to join this crypto world. And remember that we do not only need the money here, but many aspects are also needed. Controlling our emotions, having the patience and having a high curiosity are the example of the other aspects.

I do not agree with you. If there were no risks in crypto then inexperienced beginners would not lose money when trading or investing money in cryptocurrency.

I think one of the major risks we all need to consider is the volatility of markets and the affects that are felt by the proliferation of fake news stories that people pay a greater amount of attention to than they are due. It is very easy to lose 100% of your investment by choosing the wrong coins and therfore any crypto investment in the unproven coins should be looked on as a write off from the start whilst hoping for a pleasant surprise later

The real risks of cryptos mainly lies in the fact that there are always scammers out there who are always trying to steal your coins. That is one of the biggest things we have to worry about as investors. Another risk is the fact that many of the coins that we have in the market right now are scams and they are taking money out of the market and it is affecting the prices of the coins in the market

I think there is one big crypto risk - volatility! Many people came on the market in January 2018 and invest their money in crypto and now their portfolio 90% reduced... Of course u can make money on crypto, but u have to spend all your time here..

the most risky part is how to know this well, cause most of people get involved to this market did not know that it's a very brutal market.
price pump and dump so hard that they just can see balance go down..
they just buy coins and left that for it to bring back some money but... sadly things is not that simple

the real risk as you can see, cryptocurrecy is Fluctuatif and the main point is when developer leave their project and become scam

The real risks in cryptocurrency, it seems to me, we create ourselves. We are waiting for something and do not sell coins until the last moment. That is why now all cease to invest. Too many other people's stupid mistakes that affected the General opinion

The technology behind crypto is indeed good and very futuristic, however considering the business aspect, many people involved have an ideology of making fast money from crypto; and this has led to many frustrations and disappointments.

I agree, actually the real risk of crypto is not from crypto technology, but from its use. we must understand and learn it. and do not arbitrarily take action. which you intended to benefit from crypto, but instead made you a loss

I believe that one of the main risks is also the opportunity to participate in the skam ICO. A lot of them and everyone can get caught. This is a real risk that can overtake absolutely everyone

The cryptocurrency risk I learned comes from multiple sources!
1. The cryptocurrency itself (because many teams that create cryptocurrencies are for fraud)
2. Price control (whale / shark)
3. Hackers (let your wallet or exchange lose property)

It seems to me that only the threat of hacking and data loss is quite acute. Another reason for some experiences I do not see. The chance that you will lose money is negligible

Knowledge is a necessary foundation, but technology is also important for success, as well as its potential development!

You see the real risk of crypto now. If you bought bitcoin when it was $6,500.

The price is now $4,500 so that's around $2,000 loss. That's the risk that you are taking if you get in to crypto's.

High risk, high reward and possible high loss.

One risk is that the market is so fast at making changes. In a blink of an eye, the price drop at astonishing rate.
Scammers are one of the risk and the precaution measure is simple. NEVER TRUST ANYONE.

The real risk of crypto is holding the token without enough knowledge.
Like what is happening now if you dont have the right knowledge in this fall than you might be in depression now.
but if you are smart and thinking good, you are getting more profit on what is happening now.
real risk is the fall but if you will be good at the fall you will gain more for the future.

I think that many people understand that nothing depends on me and on you, there are those who control all this and we just have to agree with them.

crypto's biggest risk is a decentralized trade where all people in the world gather together and buy and sell without arrangements from the government and other parties and this causes very fast price fluctuations and this is very risky for some new people in the market without being aware of the market change quickly

   Decentralization is the advantage that some crypto-currencies have over centralized platforms. I don`t know what kind
of arrangements you are looking for. Remember what Satoshi Nakamoto wrote in his WP, it`s better to trust algorithm than
third-party service.
   I don`t care for this drop, I`m still holding. I`m holding in good and especially in bad times, you need to rethink your
crypto-strategy if you are looking for government permission to do anything in your life.

For all times the biggest risk will be loosing money. Specially for people who think that this market is a gamen and gave money in bank like loans or from friends.

Actually real risk in crypto is to loose the money which you have invested. It's all depends upon the market price levels or which project you are interested. You can loose or gain amount of money but you have to choose wisely.

The main risk will continue to be the same regardless of adoption. These surprisingly, are not related to the technology, but mainly about the way the users handle privacy and security issues, which usually means some regulation will need to be implemented. The moment it is regulated, its design premise fails… so it can no longer be open and decentralized.

Every place of investment will certainly be faced with risk, there is no one place of investment that will always give profit, if then I don't think it is a place of true investment. But someone can reduce the risk that will be faced, for instance he gets a news about the place of investment that will decrease and he decides to sell first or decide to keep holding until the price recovers.

in my opinion the biggest risk in crypto is in hacking, when we experience it we will lose all the assets we have, and the solution is simple, which is how we work and how we take care of our devices.

The real risks that you will lose all the money you have invested because the market is highly volatile and therefore if you are engaged in long-term investment, then most likely you have already lost a lot of money  ;)

The risk of Crypto are very simple. Crypto is not regulated, highly unpredictable and volatile. One can not really determine the action of Cryptocurrency per time and it can go hay wire within a second. When investing in it, just invest what you can afford to lose.

The real risks of crypto are the losing funds. There are so much newbies that are coming to this market with hope to gain good profits, but after several months they are left with nothing. It is rough but thats life. Hope these people would learn from their mistakes and would try to avoid them in the future.

The major risk in cryptocurrency is volatility. If you are the type that invest casually, you may wake up one day and find out the value on your holdings are gone. Cryprocurrency investment require that you monitor the market constanly!

We sometimes complicate things for ourselves, which is why we are the main actors behind this risks we see and get exposed to. Some have even done it to the extent that, they are not ready to learn from their mistakes, despite making a lot of it. One of which is embedded in our nature, which is the desire to acquire more and sometimes driven by greed and selfishness.

To be honest, there are very few real risks. And the main risks-the loss of money only through their own fault. Do not blame the cryptocurrency market, it is not always to blame for your mistakes

There are many risk key points on investment on cryptocurrency, namely your cryptocurrency if not much of a security, it can be exposed on a hacker and can possible stole your funds. Or if you invest on a coin and turns out to wreck also, you go to a zero start. The worst is you can be a potential victim of a many scam ico projects.

Crypto currencies have a high risk. There is no guarantee that market participants will make a profit after an investment. The greatest risk for a participant, if he does not have much experience in cryptography, is very risky to invest significant amounts in the crypto market. The best will happen in cryptography, if a cryptographic insurance system appears at the global level.

Here the question is not about risks, but about money. If you want to give up the money and go into crypto, this is one option. But if you are looking for profits, then now is a very risky time, both for buying and selling cryptocurrency.

I think the main risk in cryptocurrency market is that cryptos is not a money. You have an under-regulated market, too independent and so it has a lot of scams and criminals. But at the same time you can keep tokens in safe.

   The real Risk in the market is the Risk of losing your investment if the market  not favorable to your choice on investment, the market is very Volatile, will never know on what will happen on the next trading market. We've seen the ups and down on the market preview, the unexpected drops on some coin just recently was never predicted by experts on the market, they gave us all possible scensaio on what to expect or just an speculation, the most crucial are the confidence level of consumer's on the market. plus the negative news about crypto, the regulation issue had affected the performance of the crypto, all of this can be considered risk factor.

The real risks are only that today, to a greater degree, people simply lose their money on the fact that they hope for cryptocurrencies, and as we understand cryptocurrencies, this is a high-risk market and you should evaluate the risks and accept them.

I think the highest risk involved in crypto is hacking leading to loss of funds. For example, leaving your coins or tokens on exchanges and when the exchange is hacked, you lose funds. Another big risk is the fluctuating market, which may reduce the value of your holdings. Scam projects are also a big issue in crypto space.

yes,the risk in crypto is very large, but this is what makes crypto very profitable, therefore we must be able to minimize the risk by being careful when choosing coins or ICO and also always monitoring market movements and coins because any decline or increase can be our weapon for benefit from crypto.

Need to sell a crypto now?

The risks involved in cryptocurrencies is that,  you are not sure you are making profit or a loss. You will never know the coin you are investigating in will become successful or not.

The most real risks of crypto is the competition each token faces against each other. IF your project, vision and white paper are better than your competitors' you'll win. Paragon is not the only cannabis coin, however its project is just so unique it is the best amongst all cannabis tokens.

Great stuff. I read fluently. Bookmarked for detailed study. Well, about financial risks, I think they exist everywhere.

I also think the riskest thing is that anyone join this world without having any experience or knowledge about cryptocurrency then they'll easily fall into shitcoin or shit project then they'll lose their money :). But it's not the only risky thing in this world.

The most important thing is that there is always a risk of losing your deposit. This is the most important thing that can happen to you, of course this is the final situation, there are still very small risks, but they still lead to this.

The biggest risks are for people who do not know how to manage their deposits and manage risks, because the coins are now highly volatile and they will be like this for a very long time but the people who earn in the market have not decreased.

I do not even know how to express my indignation. I can only bring an example of the fact that in my wallet the volume of certain coins should have been about $ 1,000 for the price of ico. But today there are only 60 dollars.

Big volatility is the big risk in the crypto which scares the small investors to invest for earning. Due to this reason, thousands people don't like to crypto and keep away from this. But in future, these people will also invest in the crypto.

One of the big risks of crypto is losing, so many people invest and at the wrong time then there is no patience and throw and leave crypto.
This unpreparedness is fatal and feels like a failure.

Your example shows the current worst trend of crypto markets and I guess you are choosing cryptos and ICOs carefully for your investment. The risk while investing in cryptos always there but you must take time to do your own research and analysis so that you may not need to get panic in this down market. If the coins and ICOs you have invested are good for long term holding then you do not need to worry about.

Yes, with the long-term holding we can eliminate most of the real risk of cryptos. Because only in short-term, the total crypto market is looking down but by this time next year they must be having new peaks where most of the reputed cryptos will be trading around.  Risk management is not an easy science. But with respect to cryptos, we can easily eliminate most of the risks by simply choosing long-term prospects coins.

these are not the risks of crypto, these are the risks of BUYING and HODLING crypto.
You can support crypto without owning any.
And considering that buying crypto is gambling, the risks should be pretty obvious even if you hadn't read the article.

I think the collapse of the market is not a risk, the only one is the threat from hackers who want to steal and also the issue of crypto legality from the government which is likely to be banned.

Yes, the technical flaw is that cryptocurrency is the most deadly, but the probability of this happening is almost zero. Especially if the main coin depreciates sharply in the event of a loophole, the probability is very small. Vulnerabilities in trading platforms are usually more likely to occur.

You are not comppletely right here, remember that business itself is defined as a pool of of risk, and i think that even living on this earth is a risk in my opinion.No venture no success, if you enter into a business for instance, you either stand to gain or loss; and those that venture in cryptos, entered to make money but they can also experience lost. I think risk taking is generally a win or loose thing in every business.

I think another real risk in cryptocurrency today is the exposure of anonymity by providing unnecessary KYC to different ICO's without really figuring out if it is legit or not. This might put our lives in risk.

Thank you for the good article. I agree with you. People make business! This principle also works in the cryptro
industry. WE are to blame for the fact that we can not imagine cryptocurrencies without speculative properties. We are to blame for the fact that we do not develop new properties of the blockchain. And we are to blame for the fact that less and less people believe in cryptocurrencies. Since we create ICO scam projects. Of course there are risks as in any business without risk is impossible.

I think the biggest risk of crypto comes from hackers. Almost all major exchanges have been attacked by hackers, which has led many to question the security of crypto.

There is no risk to be seen in crypto buiseness in right way. For this, work should be done in a smooth manner.

I think the real risks of cryptocurrencies are loss of one's investment when he doesn't know the good/bad project. Plus, I see high price volatility as something negative for short-term investors. But, it is no problem for a long-term holder. Mostly, there has to be a stable price solution for the volatility issue. Gigzi is one of the best solution, IMOP. It uses "tokenized precious metals" model to make its crypto-assets more stable in the long-run.

Cryptocurrency will always be subject to risks, and I am 100% sure that they are not always associated with people!

loads of Risks are involved in the crypto business. just like every other financial business. there are ups and down. if you are not profiting, you will be loosing. in crypto, you need to do your own research before investing. try and seek out from your(financial adverser)if you have any. also try and reach out to professionals before investing.
the risk involves is that you will lose your money when you invest in scam project.

A big risk in crypto is probably a loss, if you play in trading (buying and selling). Because if you are inconsistent or selfish, you might lose a lot of money. That is probably one of the risks in crypto. There are very many risks in actual crypto. But I explained just one.

There are many risks when it comes to crypto especially being scammed. If you are not careful and wise enough, your investment would be wasted or lost in a matter of few clicks.

On any investment then risk would be always there. As long you do risk up money just to earn money then its always been accompanied with risk even the simpliest decisions in life do require it.

Being scammed or hacked is always been the risk aside from losing money.So there are lots of things to be spot on if you do like yourself to lessen such loss.

In my opinion, the risk of crypto is that a bad impact can have just how long the period of instability and the fall of the crypto market will last. If the whole 2019 year is not interesting for investors, then we can lose the crypto.

You're right, friend, the lack of experience in trading will have a bad effect, by looking for sources of information about crypto will provide vigilance to the state of the exchange from now, later and in the future.

The cryptocurrency risk curve is its downfall because if the price drops in coins, especially the bitcoin will eventually lose the cryptocurrency and another is token holders and investors because if bitcoin hits them they are blunt.

People are too afraid of the high risks because they think that cryptocurrency is insecure and prone to crime. in fact they don't really know how crypto works and how the rules are. that is a reasonable reaction in my opinion.

I think cryptocurrency has some risks, such as high volatility and unpredictability of the market. But in General, we have to think about our own actions. We must assess our own risks and be ready for anything. That is why it is necessary to invest in cryptocurrency only what is not terrible to lose.

I think for me, the risk of cryptocurrency is that, when I am so addicted to it, it turns out that I spend almost most of my money into it. Not much sufficient for my needs, and what if some coins that we've invested to doesn't return any good profits?

Real Risks of crypto is you have to be prepared for any condition that's going on like a loss, of fraud. Or the project that you're following doesn't work out the way it should. And a hacker attack could also occur.

if I see the thing that makes the cryptocurrency the most risky is the price that always rises and falls very sharply, when going up it will be very fast and so will when it falls,
so this is what you should know and be aware of if you want to play in cryptocurrency,
and the other thing to watch out for is hacker attacks.

I think this Cryptocurrency is a very potential business, and behind all that there is a huge risk. The risk is, security for our money. Because this is open, we must be good at keeping our money from criminals or thieves. besides, the biggest risk of Cryptocurrency is that the value of Cryptocurrency is very volatile, so our money can decrease in value even in a very short time. Therefore, we must be prepared to face all that.

You might have a good technology, yet the coin will still dump. At this point, it is obvious that the people I'm the crypto space are the cause of dump. Sometimes, I still get baffled when people spread FUD on good coin with useful product and those who do not have much knowledge about what they have, still fall into the trap of selling cheap. This is how far the market can be manipulated.

In fact, the way it is. Cryptocurrency is a very risky business. Risks are associated primarily with fraud. A lot of new projects are cheating on their investors and stealing their money.
This is the main risk in the crypto market.

The real risks are to lose everything you have.
To my mind these risks are reasonable and you can easily lose your funds in a moment!

It's true that the risk will down to the users and not to the technology. Well the thing there is that whether or not the user is near on this position technology is the one that is always has a good feedback since it offers advantages the only bad there is that crypto currency is very risky resulting failure to the project.

I think in this crypto ecosystem there is lots of problem at least for now. First is reaching to general people. Cause in this world there's lots of people don't know about crypto or at least they don't know about this many projects are going on in this market. And for this problem there is a limitation in use cases of those project. And the second problem is government. Most of the governments not sure about what to do with crypto currency. In early 2017 or 2018 they think crypto currency is only used by illegal activities. Now they are working on it. If they help to grow crypto then first problem will be very easy to solve. And one more problem is manipulation and fud by whales. And there are lots like this type of problem like scammers failed project or lossing private key it's hard to recover and security hackers. And yes this problems will be solved and day by day the whole technology upgrade to a new level.

they are not afraid of scammers, but they are afraid of what they do not know. they do not understand how crypto tools work and do not know why they are needed as a whole.

Now crypts have such risks as fraud, we need to know where to invest, in which projects we also need to beware of burglary attacks. It also happens that the cost of lately increases, and then quickly decreases. You must be prepared for any situation.

basically, the crypto risk is indeed very high, so for those who still lack knowledge of crypto, of course, they will have a higher level of vigilance because this has already involved their assets so that it is a natural thing to happen. but I think if they already understand well about crypto, of course, they will be more confident to play in it.

I believe that the biggest risk to which every cryptocurrency owner is exposed is hacking his wallet. Also, unsuccessful investments and high market volatility can be attributed to the category of risks.

This cryptocurrency is a very potential business, and behind all that there is a huge risk. The risk is, security for our money. Because this is open, we must be good at saving our money from criminals or thieves. besides, Cryptocurrency's biggest risk is that the value of Cryptocurrency is very volatile, so our money can decrease in value even in a very short time.

Risks are everywhere. In every area of investing are their risks. In crypto risks are quite high. But the profit is much more than on traditional market. So you can lose all, and win all!

You are lacking money management skills, it is fine that you are so excited in cryptocurrencies that you are investing money in them, but you should not invest in this market or in any market so much money that you do not even have enough money to cover your basic necessities, try to establish a budget so you know how much money you need every week or month to satisfy those needs and then decide how much of your money you will invest in this market.

the risk that exists when investing in crypto is that very fast price fluctuations make us have to be able to understand market conditions, we must be able to determine when to buy and when to sell so that we do not experience losses

Another risk is that there are many hackers who can steal our accounts and wallets, so we must really maintain security so that the assets in them are not stolen, besides there are also many project frauds, so we must be careful when choosing projects

the biggest risk is that you can lose your investment assets in an instant. because of price fluctuations that are very fast changing and never stable

The article makes sense. The true value of cryptocurrency is reflected in how many users are using it and paying attention to it, and let it continue to add value. If no user pays attention to and uses this altcoin, it will eventually return to zero.

I think the risks of crypto are pretty easily identified.

1. Investing in a company of tech savvy people with little or no business experience.
2. Investing in a fake ICO project with an exit scam at the end of it.
3. Downturn in the major coins such as Bitcoin and Ethereum having a knock on effect on smaller alts.

The real risk that is difficult to avoid from crypto is loss and theft, I see this is the biggest risk that often makes investors feel anxious or afraid. But it must be admitted that something that can generate big profits certainly has a big risk too, for that, learn from experience to be able to always win and get profits in crypto investment and always be able to avoid the risk of loss and theft.

I don't think so. The biggest risk is losing the money itself because how you can buy something if your money is in the crypto? Your coins still on the crypto, but you don't have money, and this is the most significant loss ever you get. It happens if you are buying unprofitable coins so you cannot make money from the coins and you need to avoid that coins. Once the coins have not worth in the market, then you will start to lose your money so be careful.

We need to learn how to use everything that is created in the crypto world, otherwise it's just useless startups.

I see there are a few projects that are used a lot, but when it gets delist from Bittrex volume it becomes less and less. You can check my words, that project is called Lomostar

I think the risk of crypto comes from price manipulation and hacking, and because crypto is limited by purchasing power, it is easy to make big price changes.

Of course "Loss" is the real risk if we investing in crypto, so you need to very carefully and read everything about your favorite coin before you put your money into that coin..

Most altcoins will continue to drop and will end up with a value of 0, which is very likely, and I am not surprised. The only crypto I support now is Bitcoin. In fact, I am already desperate about the market of crypto. This is really desperate. I intend to dump all my altcoins and replace them all with Bitcoin.

If the risks of this market were so easily identified no one will lose money, the points you enumerate are true but there are many more risks in this market, you left out hackers out of the equation and we know they are a significant risk in this market because as we know cryptocurrencies are digital assets that once lost cannot be recovered and hackers are attracted by them precisely because of those qualities.

I seem not to have fished out some problems being faced by investors but one peculiar thing I have noticed is its acceptance in countries and the issue of scam. Be wise when dealing with cryptocurrencies because you can either lose or gain depending on how you plan.

In fact, most of the problems and most of the risks that a user bears in this market are not related to problems in the projects themselves, but to the fact that investors have an extremely low level of preparation and often invest their money in scam projects. This is precisely the reason why most of these investors have lost their money.

in my opinion the real risk in Crypto is the easy price to go down. for example, last year the price of crypto was far below the previous year so there were many people who issued larger ones including me.

Let's look at BTC
You have such risks:
You can lose your local wallet (that's the most likely risk ;)) so you will loose access to your Bitcoins forever
You store your Bitcoins on a central portal, similar to a bank account and this account gets robbed and again you lose all your Bitcoins
Bitcoin loses market cap and trust and the value of Bitcoin is decreasing again.

100% can lose our money and it is real. here or at cryptocurrency there is a huge risk and of course you have to be careful if you want to invest here, make sure you understand this

I think that everything depends on us and we can easily level the risks with cryptocurrency

The main factor that poses risk to crypto is the disposition of humans to it. If there is any fall or rise, almost every cause will boil down to humans.
There are even times that people deliberately dump what they have, in order to bring down the price.

I think that there are no risks and in the future we will all be able to make sure of this when the cryptocurrency increases very much in price.

Well, you do not lose until selling off, we know many examples of great recoverings. But full delistings and hacks are happen often actually

there is no risk using crypto money as long as you don't convert all your life saving in to virtual money, must take this world as gambling, nothing is guaranted.

The real risks today are what is called playing blind. Many people just do not understand what they are doing today. After all, today a huge number of people are still trying to use cryptocurrencies as assets for the long term, but they are blinded by greed.

Any field of activity involves certain risks that must be taken into account in their work. If we talk about the crypto market, the main threats are the lack of regulation, the activity of hackers and attempts to manipulate prices by the largest market participants.

It is obvious to everyone that the higher the potential earnings, the higher the risk, and in the cryptocurrency you can earn a lot, therefore you can also lose a lot

The risk in cryptocurrency and the benefit of cryptocurrency is 50/50, and in this case, we should have to be careful because of too much scam in cryptocurrency these days.

I think that the risks are much more than the possibility of earning. And it's not just a scam or hackers. also not very predictable impact of the news

In cryptocurrencies there are quite a lot of dangerous moments that are still relevant but perhaps they will be eliminated in the future.  I do not take for example the volatility of the market, the unstable situation with the ICO and a large number of scams in the ICO market and also not taking into account the fairly frequent wallet hacks and less often, but much more significant hacking exchanges.

The big risk of crypto is losing our money and being crazy.
So far, I think that some people lose their big amount of money as the capital and they are crazy because of it.
That is why, to avoid this condition, we must be more ready about involved in crypto, crypto is full of risk, but this is also promising. This is addictive. That is why we must be more careful and smarter here.

I also think that  lack of understanding the new technology is a big problem and the security issues which it brings.
Many people jump into crypto without any knowledge and getting disappointed when they are hacked or scammed.
That all could be prevented by some learning and protection.

I think the real risk investing in cryptocurrency is regulation. If cryptocurrency market regulated by government, i am believe this market can growing more bigger. Regulation needed for investor trust and i am believe it will give big effect to market

Naivety, laziness and greed are the main enemies of a novice investor, any sane person will first study everything and only then begin to invest, understanding the whole risk

It is important to know everything first before you jumped in and place your money, lack of knowledge and not being bothered to look from both side of this industry always place investors at risk, needs to take time learning everything first and what is the reason to believe not just because someone said so, but witnessing the reality and focusing in such advantage will lead you to lesser stress investment.

People who knows how to deal properly with any market situations are people who invest wisely, they can always be calm whatever movements or trend is ongoing around, as they knew or anticipate that things needs to happen but the end result will still give them positive outcome.

For me, the real risk of Crypto as a translator is the projects that did not pay or reward us, translation is a tough job especially if you're working in a ton of documents. We, translators are risking time and effort in an unknown reward.

There are many risks involved when it comes to cryptocurrency, keeping your coins safe and secure is a big task and some silly mistakes can cost your entire wallet to be drained out without your knowledge and the volatility and selecting which coin to invest are all big risks as you never know what the future holds for majority of the coins, the top few coins will sustain a longer period, i would not take risk and invest into anything else other than bitcoin.

Just look out for fake projects and scammers and you will get plenty of them here.

The risk are scattered everywhere when people wants to invest to crypto, like the risk of scam coin, the risk of dropping the price and no chance to recover anymore and other says that the security of your coin is at risk. The word risk in crypto is too broad to elaborate but these are the basic risk that people can encounter.

Regulation is not including on the risk that you will get in the crypto. volatility and scammer should become the main problems in here. Look at how many scumbags are using the name of crypto to steal the funds.

But all the same now there is much less risk than in 2018. When I bought Bitcoin for 10,000 dollars. I buy Bitcoin now too. And the price is satisfied.

for me, the biggest risk in crypto currency is the risk of been bankrupt in a short period of time, like 10 minutes.
Crypto currency trading is a bigger risk but a wise investment if you can learn, and know how to do the right and proper things around the space
because in crypto currency, you can't follow speculation, but you must dyor always

In every investment there’s always risk but cryptocurrency is different due to a lot of things are need to be consider and understand. Unlike traditional stocks and businesses, people involved in crypto should know what they’re doing or they should self educate themselves about the risk.

Crypto is a double edged sword in investing world, it offers high profit and high risk, you can be millionaire in a few years or less than, or your investment can go red in just a few days, because crypto is volatile it's have a greater risk than investing on stock market.

There are so many risk here in cryptocurrency the first one is for the investors because they dont know if there investment will succeed.also for bounty hunters because they work hard and then once the bounty campaign didn't succeed they won't be payed. but the real risk for cryptocurrency is the dumped of the price of altcoins and btc.

I agree. I mean, many people think that since the cryptocurrency market is inclined with the use of technology, that it's easy to master, and that losses can be kept at a minimum. But, that is a great misconception that cost people so much, since they are not really giving much thought on the actions and ventures they do in the market. This market, I can say, is a silent killer, wherein it does follow that when you're tech savvy that you would immediately have the upper hand ensure success in the market. The thing about the market is that it can really turn at any moment, and the investments one made can also go down south in an instant, so if you won't make it a point to be alert and equip yourself with the knowledge and weapons you need, you would sure experience loss after loss.

the most obvious risk is the loss of the trade that you do or lose the assets that you store in your Wallet.
of some of the risks that some people including me have experienced some of these risks.
I have also lost the assets that I have and losses from the trade that I did.

There are a lot of cryptocurrency risks, but it still seems to me that they are all surmountable, even though it will take time and maybe not a little!

Not only the user's lack of knowledge, but also the security vulnerabilities of crypto coins can be a risk. First of all, security is a must, and confidence in crypto coins is reduced if security is not provided.

The only risk in crypto is when time comes that all of our nightmares will happen,and that is when this profiteering turns as a scammings

In have been here for years and i had adopted the whole system but I don’t know what in the back of my mind theres always a doubt about the truthfulness of crypto or maybe i am just being afraid for this has no physical assurances

I think scams are the biggest risks in the crypto industry. If a person do some investment and it turns out to be a scam, not only that the guy looses money but he also looses trust in crypto and with that he along with his newly joined crypto friends will leave this industry.

I will always side with you on this very issue since the technology is static but the user is not. Dynamism in the user might be a factor to bring about many risk on board. There I think users should try as much as possible to learn more about crypto to do away with some these risks.

The biggest risk involved in cryptocurrency is there is no guarantee for your investment at any time it is because of the blockchain system is made up like that there is no owner and there is no labour for that  it is a good and bad thing also.

There are a lot of risks associated with cryptocurrency especially the security of one's cryptocurrencies and fraud. People have lost money to scammers and fraudsters who pose in the different guise looking for who to con.

I think the main risks associated with cryptocurrencies, it's fraudulent. ICO, hacking of wallets and exchanges, as well as a very strong market volatility.

The real risk is losing everything you have! That's the real risk of your activity in crypto and results of taking wrong decisions, bad analysis and being lazy. In crypto you learn fast, because your experience is your money wasted

Frauds were spread around and it turns out that many ICO were fails. It could be easy for them to make that way cause of its anonymity.
We cant be afraid of its volatility cause it is present since before and only we afraid most if someone hack our account and loss everything we have.

The account was hacked between 29.01.2018 and 04.02.2019. All posts made during this period were not made by me.

You need to learn to trade in the cryptocurrency market , I think that not always hold strategy can bring you a lot of money, the main thing is to keep your strategy

I think that investing in cryptocurrency is very dangerous. We cannot know where the market will go. Because of this, our investments are at risk.

Crypto is not a risk for everyone. This is risky for them who wants to be rich in a very short time, so they invest in random coins and start waiting for the moon and most of the time, the opposite scenario happens. Crypto can make you rich and it can make you poor, but it not dependent on crypto, it depends on you! Crypto just a process, everything you make decisions on crypto, you need to be proactive and smart! If you able to pick the good time to buy and a good time to sell, then you are not in crypto's risk zone, otherwise crypto is risky!

Mostly the risks are being easily solved by the working style of us in cryptocurrency so the problem is how we worked in this field if we recognise and change something better for us it will be good for us to maintain our stable profit for a long journey time and it will be the reason why we are losing money also.

At the moment, many projects are dying. The real risk is that you choose the wrong project for investment. This can lead to large losses.

The biggest risk for cryptocurrencies is that people do not understand the technology and how they will benefit from it
and mass adoption will take very long. With internet it was a similar situation and we all know what happened later.

I believed that happened to you because you don't choose the bounty project.which lead to time wasting but most cases as bounty concern the reputation,maturity and experience level of the manager with the total token allocation for the bounty in USD are what you should first lookout for before doing research about the project.
If you my advise you'll risk free per bounty aspect.

Mass adoption will be key to success and there were similar situations for new invented technology on history. Blockchain technology is not for  today's modern tech world so in future we don't need to find the missed part of puzzle.

there are many risks that must be faced in crypto, one of which is a scam project, the number of scams makes us have
to be careful and analyze the projects that must be followed, in my opinion the scam project is the biggest risk in crypto

In my opinion, the real risks of the crypto are always losing hope and money.
Many people have lost their capital of the money that are invested in crypto. This drive someone to be stressful and depression. That is why we must be able to manage ourself to be involved in crypto with smart strategy and right decision.

To me the real risk is to find a good crypto currency with a good market capital and valid team members. Of you are a bounty Hunter then your struggles begins from choosing a good campaign. It's became hard to differentiate a good and a bad bounty campaign and side by side a good crypto coin.

The real risk of crypto is the unstable status and the unpredictable price o f the crypto coin. I believe that if we are going to make a decision without a proper study or maybe if we don't have an experience in crypto we can possibly lose a huge amount of money or asset. So I believe that the real risk is on the status of the crypto coin itself.

For me the real risk would be, If the cryptocurrency is stop working because it loosing it's value due to many people dumping them all together.
I really don't wan't that to happen, i hope the cryptocurrency world will be able to keep on thriving.

Bitcoin is a new discovery in digital payment system technology, so bitcoin is a big leap from the evolution of currencies in the world, so things like this cannot be lost because the world of commerce really needs a digital currency that is global by one person. country and has a decentralized system.
 being very safe cannot be duplicated like a paper currency that is very easy to fake.
 so bitcoin will always be needed in every world trade in the future.

Many projects pay much attention to the security of their networks. As we know, ETH postponed its update because of the vulnerability. Developers work on that, so the situation will be better soon!

If you buy cryptocurrencies believing that someone will pay more dearly in the future then this is a risk and you need to review some things. If you buy cryptocurrencies to be able to send someone or even buy products, there is no risk at all, for example, almost every day I buy DOGE, I rarely get hurt! Because? Because I send to other exchanges and platforms, so I use cryptocurrencies every day! If you view it as an investment it is a risk, if you face paying for goods and services, this article is evil.

The risk is the volatile aspect of crypto. With addition to that being decentralized is another minor risk. Unregulated system can be access by every one including high criminal persons. The advantage of crypto helps almost everyone to provide their needs and to have much better financial status. Unfortunately, somehow it's advantage is also the disadvantage. Due to volatility you can probably get rich easily or you can be much poorer than before.

The real risks are that the market is very unpredictable and nobody can say what would happen tomorrow. Moreover, the market is very volatile and it can increase the price of any altcoin by 200 percent and decrease it by 500 percent within a night.

Part of the risks of crypto is "decentralization". Transactions are at owners risk. No body to report to in case of any fraudulent activities. So it is easier for unscrupulous ones to perpetrate evils through crypto e.g. money laundering.  Also one might not be able to sell whole or part of his assets whenever you want to because it might be at a loss because of unstable crypto market.

According to me real risk is the volatile aspect of crypto. At that time price of crypto coin is very unpredictable and status is very unstable. At that time market is down and nobody can predict what time market is rise or what time market is down.

It was necessary to sell all 3 months ago, it would be a very profitable and successful solution, since prices then fell very much. Those who foresaw this moment could not only make a profit, but also reduce the risks, as well as increase the number of available tokens.

Risks are predictable as always. Today, the risk is the loss of cryptocurrency assets and, accordingly, it is the loss of your deposit as a whole. Therefore, it is necessary to understand this.

the biggest risk is that we lose money. but all that can be minimized if we have analysis and patience. Remember all investments are at risk so it's not just crypto that has risks. I think when viewed from the profile, the risk of crypto investment is quite small.

actually i still doubt about decentralized system, for example forkdelta all people who need money they will sell their money,even if price is not make sense.
they dont care about the impact, they just take they want.
so where you think is better decentralized or cencralized.

in any case, in my opinion, only those projects that will not need to provide personal data will be in demand. Today, for users of cryptocurrency, it will be the most interesting projects.

Investors simply pursue one goal - to earn as quickly as possible and more, they do not care at what stage to withdraw funds and how much, they do not care about the consequences of selling coins, there are many such people and their influence is huge on the overall situation

I agree with what OP says that the users is the problem and not the technology since crypto was created for a transparent and trust less transaction then the lack of knowledge on how to use it relies on the end users, we need more awareness and proper guidelines on how to use crypto to avoid problems in the future.

As far as I know, crypto risk is actually a loss caused by a decrease in crypto prices, which we all know that crypto prices are unstable where they can drop sharply anytime and can also rise quickly. Besides that security is also a real crypto risk that is prone to theft, which can be detrimental to crypto owners, which we all also know that there is no security guarantee given to crypto owners in the event of theft.

You are only talking about the risks that the token holder carries. There are a lot of other risks. For example, we saw a lot of examples of cheating blockchains like 51% attack and other different attempts to hack blockchains. In this case, even if the user securely stores his password and buys at the bottom, he is not immune from a technical error of the developers.

I think the main risk in the cryptocurrency market is primarily the risk of losing investments.
Players can invest a lot of money in the coins of interest and in the end, after a long time, get almost nothing.
This may occur due to the high volatility of the market in the making.

The risks are of course high and who bought bitcoin above 19000 , it is definitely now the majority of people in the red , but I think that if you buy cryptocurrency you should not wait for growth now , wait for it after 2019!

Risks are part of cryptocurrency. You can reduce them if you will study this market well and in detail. The deeper your knowledge becomes, the better Analytics you will do before buying coins or investing in ICO.

One major risk is the risk of getting scammed out of all your money. If you don't take care and be very vigilant, people will dubiously take away all that you've earned. That is why people keep.on warning others to be careful when you enter into cryptocurrencies because the regulation issues are still developing and it'll take time to fully understand the mischievous scammers.

The bigger risk in cryptocurrency is when the coins get drop too deep, and the coins have no price at all, or the project has discontinued and stopped the project in the middle of the phase. I see it's happening in many coins and the coins suddenly have crashed and cannot survive, and in the end, the coins are getting down to the bottom. But as long as we can buy and hold profitable coins, I am sure we can minimize the risk, and even we can make a lot of profit from the coins we have.

Real risks are that exchanges and wallets are being hacked. Fraud is everywhere. Moreover, there's still a bearish trend, and it's a real risk for new investments, including investments in cryptocurrencies!

The real risk of cryptocurrency is losing money from our investment and also if we experience hacking our assets are likely to be lost. so in my opinion right now we really have to be careful in storing or investing

Investing in cryptocurrency is just like gambling as what others had specified. You agreed on something that is very risky but if found out to be successful then one will be able to bring good profit. Probably this because the crypto has high risk especially to the newbies. The real risk of crypto is the market price movement. It will make a 90-100% market price fluctuation and you will not going to like when one day you will be able to see your investment goes down to 60% more but it could also mean that it could grow also to more than 60% or even doubled or trippled.

It's all there is a risk, hacking is indeed the most interesting issue now because when there is hacking on an exchange or wallet it can make the situation very chaotic. the price of digital currencies can experience a very significant decline, which is why security issues are very vital. In the era of digital currencies, security needs to be highly considered. it will greatly affect the situation and when all systems are secure, the situation and conditions of the digital currency will also be increasingly more stable.

The real risk is you can lose more money. I understand why ither people are afraid to invest becaude they did not want to lose their  capital. But better for us not always focus on the risk let's be positive always like seeing the benefits of having cryptocoins and being psrt of cryptoworld. Risk is anywhere or any investment you cannot avoid that even you do something.

Of course in every investment there are risk like losing value of the crypto that you've invested in and turning out to be scam especially in this bear cycle. I advice to carefully plan through where you wanna put your money into, cause this cycle is the weeding of shitcoins. Be sure to throughly research the project that it has real use in commerce, transactions or business not just for speculation.

Any investments involve money is always been a risk and no exception for crypto currency because of the volatility of the prices in the market and doesn't guarantee a sure profit. Not all crypto investments are legit and there some scam ico projects that were popping out last year and that's the reasons why some investors are now doubting ICOs and because of that it suffered a great lose in the market. So, it's best to invest what you can afford to lose.

I think the risk of cryptocurrency is a fluctuating price (unstable). Maybe if you take profit from it then the results will be good for you, but what if the opposite? But I think cryptocurrency will remain a payment system for humans in the future.

Have you ever lost your whole deposit? I did and it shows risks of crypto currency. So if you don't know real risks of crypto, you haven't been in crypto for a long time.
I suggest you to explore all possible risks prior to invest

The real risks of cryptocurrencies are it's users. If the people who uses crypto as a payment for their social or virtual transactions are lacking some enough knowledge to trade or manage their portfolio, there is a chance that the price of some coin/s they are holding will decreased in terms of price. In this case, it is better to hold and wait than doing risky moves or decisions.

If you are talking about Cryptocurrency investments then the money you have invested is risky. If you keep large amount of cryptos in exchange them there is always a risk of being theft. Some cryptos aren't safe for 51% attack like ethereum classic etc.

the main risk is of course material losses and then followed by time losses, one thing that is certain is if you want high profits then you also have to be prepared to face high risk

yes because Crypto is clearly a lot of risk that occurs because each choice has risks and you must be able to avoid risk or fight risk.
good time is not used properly and that is your risk, because it can make you lose not doing at a good time. risk occurs when not choosing a good choice between choices, knowledge is very necessary to start a business if you do not have the knowledge and experience you can be exposed to the risks that can befall you. there are still many other risks that occur because of small things or big things, so you have to be more careful.

that's just one of the crypto risks because there are actually many other real risks, for example, failing to invest in ICO because many ICOs fail around 70% more, and many even just cheat.

Information is key to power and success in life, which cash be gotten through education.
The way some people conduct themselves in the crypto space or the way projects are being handled sometimes, shows how much some people know.
Some people invest in a project or participate in bounty, because they see others do the same and not because they know about it.
When you know something, you get the maximum from it.

as many have said. Real risks are precisely the loss of your finances. Everything else today remains at a stable level when people are just beginning to understand that a cryptocurrency can not only bring money but also take it away, then an old question begins to wake up.

as developer works on reference of service with the dependence on possession with the ideal customs of disciplines the use to gives of way on retail investors to work on pragmatism as applying use with the chance on winning with the decision of expends into the market of finance,
to attains on field of the business as expecting of the higher as might to gains on improvement to collects with the nominal on returns as profit target to collects within the terms of entrance with the field of business.

the most important thing is in the crypto world we must be able to maintain our passions and egos, if you can't just experience loss due to lust and panic then you lose a lot of money, the ego is out of control and you use money that you shouldn't use in crypto

The real risk may be present if you are an investor and have invested real money in the coin, then the risk is present, if you earn tokens as a bounty hunter, then most likely the only resource that you spend is your time and in this case there is no risk of losing money.

That of security one who's new will eventually fall for scam by filling out their private keys in Google form or falling for fishing sites that get their real details. Even the old members still fall sometimes. Security is a big problem out here.

As they say - informed means armed. Risks in cryptocurrency is a huge point and there is not always enough information to avoid them but at least you can minimize them. Many risk holding coins while others risk selling their tokens on the cheap.

you are very kind and generous. i would say more than 90% ico are shit and from 10% only handful icos will survive in next 5-10 years. last year every ico was doing good due to new investors and that's not the case right now.

There are many risks attached to crypto currency. One of them is hacking, the other is the power of persuasion to move the markets in the direction of where the Big whales want it to go to. For example, if I had been a day trader last January, 2018, I would have sold all my altcoins at All Time Highs, but because I was only a holder of coins and tokens and not a day trader, I believed in all the Euphoria and FOMO that the news outlets and everyone was telling us, so I held and lost over 99.85 of all my portfolio over the course of one year. Also, we have the fact that most people are speculators in this space and want quick profits, we need far more believers now in the technology to invest in this space for the longer term and not for just a quick flip and trade, like is happening mostly, in the whole altcoin market.

The risk is that you can lose money because crypto is volatile, you must be careful in taking advantage of opportunities so that you can get profits from crypto.

I totally agree with this one. Well, we need to be knowledgeable about something that is new to us and we need to be careful when doing it for the first time. Aside from being knowledgable, we must do what is right, even though we know all about Crypto then we are doing it wrong then it has no difference at all being ignorant on that matter or worst. Risks are already there, we must know how to manage it.

The real risk of Crypto is lack of knowledge. Some people just want to get involved on something that is on the trend and hot but not interested to know more about it. In the case of cryptocurrency, some people wanted to get rich overnight but they get disappointed when they are not achieving their goal. The problem is that they just invested in a project without doing further research then when it fails, they will say that it is a scam. Some people also were so scared when they have invested all their money in Crypto then because of the bearish market, they will simply dump it because of fear.

using it without chipmixer in a large illegal transaction I guess? But in order to avoid we should use it in a practical way and avoid illegal acts that might lead us to bad habits and scenarios.

this indeed becomes a real thing where each investment has a risk each. including with cryptocurrency the risk is so high in my opinion

Now on the market there are various risks. I really hope that over time they will be able to minimize. The main risk for me is the instability of prices and the state of the entire market. After all, literally overnight, a coin can lose 20-30% of its price. You also need to take into account the activities of hackers, which also scares me.

The crypto price movement is very difficult for us to confirm, sometimes it can bring big profits in a short time but can also cause large losses at the same time. Thus the most real risk of crypto investment is loss, and to avoid the risk of loss, we must be able to analyze the price movements well and be patient in undergoing crypto investments.

the real risk of crypto is loss and loss if in my opinion, because there are already so many people who have experienced massive losses and lost a lot of money in my opinion

Of course, many people lose because they fail and many are successful and get good results.

loss is the risk, if you can't avoid the risk, you will lose. each choice certainly has risks but you can choose a smaller risk, to make it easier if there are things that are not good so the risk is not great. many things can plunge against risk so you have to be vigilant.

Not loss and loss, loss is essential but there's also a win if you will ever sell at the right time. That's part of being in the crypto market and you need to adjust. You need to embrace risks in crypto's as if you're really are embracing real risk in life which can be seen fairly with investments too. So far, the biggest risk and real risk in crypto has been mention by most. Everyone is prone to lose if did a wrong decision.

Only people who didn't make their research lost tears and blood. In this market, as elsewhere, you should not blindly believe any gurus.

I think everything here in cryptocurrency are risky. Because whatever you decide it is always a risk, to buy coins is a risk so we better study what we are going to buy. To hold coins is also a risk, we dont know if we hold coins if it increases or decreases in the future.

at present the real risk that is happening especially in my country is a matter of legality and problems for price and the development has become a risk that will be obtained in its investment

Cryptography and cryptocurrency is an area that is developing too fast, so in the very near future there will be various new risks about which we do not yet know anything, but this should not stop us from continuing development in this direction, because it is thanks to cryptocurrency that the entire financial world will get the opportunity to improve their quality.

Soo high fluctuacion, hack and fraud coin is some real risks in crypto market. By know the risk so we have to put money in to it that only willing to loss. In 2017 alot trader and investor became rich from crypto but in 2018 many people lossing alot of money. But i believe later crypto will give others opportunity to make many people get rich like in 2017.

There are lot of risks but they are all that are not related to the core idea of crypto but the implementation. I  mean there are scamming issue, theft issues, security issues but none of them undermine the importance and utilization of cryptos.

For me, I think the real problem of cryptocurrency is lack of regulation of ICOs. Every crypto going through an ICO should be made to undergo a compulsory regulation to ensure that it's scam free. A hell lot of investors have been scammed through ICOs. And once scammed they become skeptical about cryptocurrency.

Many people can not see what their portfolio falls by 20-30 percent , I think they are not created to take risks, but I think those who want to make big money should invest and believe in the project!

There are always risks in the world of cryptocurrency, and they are mainly related to the fact that having sufficiently large capital you can manipulate the market, and it is impossible to predict the market movement!

Ding Ding Sir, i comes in that "So many people" bracket. in my opinion people like me experienced massive loss because we had no knowledge whatsoever about crypto and its history, we just barge in the cyrpto with our hard earned money due to Fomo and overbought anything which makes sense to us. it was a good learning curve though. 

yes the greatest risk in the crypto space is the lack of education people must be very educated to know all the upcoming risks in the cryptospace you need to know it from all perspective

Thats the reason why ICO concept was created and why it is so popular. Because there are no regulations, there are no limits, only free market. Investors or creators do not have to follow any regulations or legal cases  8).

crypto is risky but also profitable, this depends on how we choose it. it may be true that many people who suffer losses from the world of crypto are not the reason why crypto is risky, it actually happens because they are wrong in making temporary choices what they think only wants profit and in my opinion this is the reason why crypto is at risk.

Gambling I guess? Some thing bad might happen if we allow ourselves to be eaten by the delightful gambling opportunities here on cryptocurrency. It might wipe out all of our hardwork.

The real risk of crypto market is its volatility. People are getting involved and are aiming to make x10 from their 1000 USD within several weeks, but they are only losing money and getting disappointed in the industry. You will reach nothing without cold blood and great research.

the biggest risk is price fluctuations. the crypto market can suddenly fall and this can make everyone lose money. good news can't even stop it. and there is another risk of fraud, there are many scammers here so be careful not to trust others.

because what we invest has no real form and we don't know the background of the people we have to trust to invest so that's what makes cryptocurrency very risky.

One should remember about the 51% attack risks. As we understand now, this is possible enough to be always kept in mind. I still don't understand how to avoid it if we are talking about altcoins... This looks very serious.

Big risks in the world of cryptocurrency may be associated with the loss of money that you invested in cryptocurrency.
Also, risks can be attributed to the time that you can lose performing a bounty campaign for a very long time, and not getting anything in return.

The risk is that crypto currencies might lose its value when there is no demand and no one can assure that crypto will be used by people in the future as well since it can't be accepted as means of payment anywhere in the world but no other risk because its completely safe,no one can steal your funds without private keys and you no need to ask permission from banks to send payment anywhere in this world.

all live in this world I think has a risk. so is crypto. by having crypto assets we have fought that fear of risk. all risks can be overcome with the right car. we just need to learn how to deal with the risks that exist. we all know the risk of investing in crypto assets can make us lose our money, but we must know and look for solutions to these risks, if not then leave the crypto world.

Wow that's a hell of a question! The list is too extensive. And it depends on what crypto you're talking about.

cryptocurrency is now a very risky asset because it is not a regulated market and it is extremely volatile

We all need to understand that cryptocurrency will be accepted as payment tool in 5-10 years absolutely everywhere. And now it is important for you to choose the right coins which can survive for 5-10 years despite the market conditions.

In any case, each investor in a cryptocurrency is in a certain risk zone. I have repeatedly convinced that companies that have shown good results in the analysis of all existing and available information may still be an unfair project.

The most obvious risk is instability. And its reason is the human factor. Somehow, only the coin grows, everyone starts to invest, but she’s booming and has fallen and everyone is selling it. Just a thirst for profit and the fear of losing everything.

I think that the most real threat is that Bitcoin may be unnecessary for people and simply die.

On what basis you can say that it will happen in 5 to 10 years,just based on hope right so you also need to be prepared if that not happened in that time.All people need to have this hope for that to become possible.

The cryptocurrency space is faced with so many twisted and corrupt practices and that makes it difficult for one to know fully the extent of risk in the industry. The obvious risk the ability of one's wallet to be hacked and every coin stolen. Even the most secured wallets could be hacked. Hacking of cryptocurrency exchange is on the rise lately and its quite worrisome.
Another obvious risk cryptocurrency Enthusiasts are exposed to, is the volatility of the market which could render one broke. The extent and urgency of the movement in price could be unpredictable.

Already there is a solution that allow to avoid 51% attack. Read about Komodo project. Also several cryptocurrency project implements that protection. Here are several of they SUQA, HUSH, etc.

But I think and are attracted to come here people as there is a lot of money in this direction , I think the risks are of course huge , but we should investirovat and then you will not panic on the market , this invest the money that are not afraid to lose

I really believe that cryptocurrency has absolutely no risks and questions only about the time when its subject is the whole world.

But what about the risk of losing everything? After all, it is unstable. At any time, can take off or fall. This is the main risk.  ???

The real risk of crypto to me is the possibility that a critical bug could fatally cripple a project and cause people to lose confidence on the project. The blockchain is still relatively new and we have not fully explored its shortcomings

There are many risks,  can steal all your savings, investments in cryptocurrency, you can lose everything if the project you invested in turns out to be a scam, a state ban can be, and much more, there are many risks.
The main thing to believe that none of this will happen

In any type of business, there's always risks and if you are smart enough, you know a way of minimize your risk.
Cryptocurrency can make someone a wealthy person if you follow the rules and you are patient enough, you are going to be successful at the end.

All those who over the past year and a half lost a lot of money and almost certainly even part of the funds can not return, they you clearly do not agree

The main thing is we don't know how much the profit is and when did we get the profit from an investment this two things gives the tension and makes you more risky more than any other field this will be the main problem and also be the good thing in this market

The real risk comes when you invest your last savings. Especially when you invest in a project you don't know a thing about

Some part of your articles are correct people do not really have a goal and a strategy in investing, they just want to invest because experts said so that this coin has a potential in the market,  they just go pick the coin right then and there without knowing the technology underlying it, mostly failed ICO which is just a duplicate of already existing one.

The risk for cryptocurrencies is that it hurts too many interests and there will be a lot of obstacles on the way for mass adoption. Governments and the financial sector will do everything not to lose their control over financial transactions.

Have risks cryptocurrency quite a lot, so if you have decided to invest in cryptocurrency, the first is to think as if you need it. In addition, now the market is falling down, so I do not think that it is worth investing in cryptocurrencies at the moment.

yes indeed the risk is always in all businesses including crypto, in my opinion the biggest risk in crypto is the large number of frauds that occur and we cannot report to the police because there is no legal guarantee from the government, everything can be overcome but if there is a loss, we must handle it ourselves

The real risk of crypto currency is nothing far more than our ignorance.
What you already know is yours.
So most times, we fall victim, because we do not know.
Most times, those who make good it big, achieve that fit, because they know.

There is a huge risk in Crypto, one of which is a large loss due to a very rapid decline in prices so that when a beginner investor is advised to learn more about the Crypto world, because the risk is very big.

The greatest or number one risk of cryptocurrency is the fact that it is unpredictable. That is the reason your portfolio can worth 5,00 USD today, and reduce drastically to 1,000 USD within 24hrs. So volatile.

The most obvious risk is that you can lose your coins. Because crypto is not backed by law, lost coins or lost private keys cannot be returned. So always pay attention to the address before sending a coin.

At the current period of time we see that Bitcoin is falling. Of course tha is pity thing. And it is difficult to say how long this fall will continue. I think it will last another two weeks at most. And then the growth will begin.

I really liked your comparison. I agree that the cryptocurrency itself is not dangerous, dangerous our not meaningful action. I believe that there are many people who earn on cryptocurrency market and all others have to aspire to it.

My major risk I am very worried about in cryptocurrency is the rate of scam
Scam has gotten good grounds on cryptocurrency and this has made investors skeptical about cryptocurrency

Every business have it's good and bad side, the positive and the negative, for crypto, the positive is so sweet, it can give you a very huge profit but what i consider as the real risk is the volatility in the crypto market.

Cryptocurrency has various risks.
But one of my major risk and in a way is a good thing is that cryptocurrency is decentralized which means it is not under any regulations

From the fact that the cryptocurrency has no rules. There are more and more fraudsters. That calls to create more rules. So it's hard to say which path is better for cryptocurrency today.

the tech side looks like a profit and excess. but indeed there are flaws in the user of such understanding was lacking basic mistakes causing and could eventually harm. the real risk that often occurs and also because of the factor of human resources or the individual itself.

In 2017 when everyone was crazy and wanted to buy every cryptocurrency and the price was not important because FOMO effect, we didn't listen expert advices that crypto is a bubble and we can lose a lot of money here. And that is the risk, that we loose money ;).

Cryptography is a new side of our lives. Most do not even have a complete and clear idea of what it really is. People have heard that here you can earn a lot and quickly and they do not care that you can also lose everything quickly. Not wanting to do a detailed risk analysis is a major risk.

If we analyze all the risks that a cryptocurrency carries for a simple user, yes, then we can surely say that the cryptocurrency will not be used among all of humanity. Cryptocurrency will remain currency in certain areas of human life. Not only risks, but also certain difficulties in the use of cryptocurrencies make it very inaccessible for most people.

The team risk of cryptocurrency in my opinion, is attached more to pur inability to learn and gather good knowledge.
I would have said adequate knowledge, but no knowledge is adequate, except you feel you have known all and you need not to know again.

the risk must be accepted by the investors in my opinion the real risk that is obtained is only a loss of time and of course if we do not get a profit loss of capital we will also feel of course

We can avoid this risk by taking simple precautions. don't share your private keys with anyone. keep them safe just like you keep your fiat. use trezor and paper wallet. don't put all your portfolio in exchanges.

All businesses have risks, as well as cryptocurrency. In my view there are some risks in cryptocurrency. First the prices are very volatile, and secondly there is no clear regulation to regulate cryptocurrency.

If the high prices do not come, no problem. I am a sensible person and why not say, who likes the risks. I know I can wake up one day and I lose all my money invested.

I have to join the earlier words of people who say that the risks here only concern your financial means and, of course, with all the circumstances, in any case, you need to correctly represent what you have and understand and accept the risks.

risks in price. This market is very unstable and by investing a large amount you can lose it and wait a long time for price increases.

The real risk of cryptocurrency is the downfall of coins specially altcoins and bitcoin. so once it happens not just investors will affects but also bounty hunters and the  icos and projects.

Lack of Education is most problem of all time because that is 1 of the many reason of risked in this cryptocurrency world. The people always based on the what they heard only not on their own observations.

long wait in my opinion it's not a problem because I'm sure by investing a lot then we will produce a lot too. loss is only valid for people who are greedy and easy to panic, because prices go down and unstable market conditions are already common here that we must be able to accept.

There are so many risk involved in crypto currency but the main fact is many people get into it for all the wrong reasons which is mainly they think its a get rich over night scheme, which they so soon seem to find, one of the craziest risk is losing your private key because once you loose you private key everything you have in that personal wallet is gone forever and there is no way of recovering you lost private key and also , investing in a scam project can really be annoying

The risks involved in cryptocurrency are enormous. The primary risk being hacks, fraud and dumping. Hacks are prevalent in this industry with sad tales shared by a lot of people. Also, fraud is the other of the day with lots of projects absconding with millions of dollars of investors funds. Then the ultimate risk is dumping on the part of weak hands or weak holders. Going into this industry demands a lot of courage and patience. That's how you win here!

the risk of crypto is hard to sleep and make you sick , the reason of that cause you all the time always check the market price and FOMO

The actual crypto risk is that there are still many people who doubt crypto and blockchain and there are even many people who don't know that crypto still has the potential to fall and die.

and although crypto already has a large community, it's hard to die, but the possibilities and risks are still present and real.

The real risk in crypto is when anonymous person contact you with your credential without knowing who they are. So that reminds us that we should be responsible in providing information out in the space.

Every market have some risk no one is only profitable but in crypto main risk is according to me is in crypto is hold the coins.

The risk in cryptocurrencies market are many and I don't think we can completely avoid it except if we decided to avoid trading and investment into it completely.  The hackers are there,  scammers and bad investments decision are part of the risk.

And what is the problem? You do not need to disclose any your personal information when send\receive cryptocurrency. Just public key and no more.

I think volatility and acceptability are the foremost. If one is not careful, huge losses could be incurred and there is no point holding money that nobody will accept

I doubt that so many people keep cryptocurrency for payment. On the account of volatility, well, without it we would not be sitting in the cryptocurrency, as there would be no strong price jumps

It is risky in all areas of investment, you invest in gold, real estate or stocks. They have the same risk of losing money as investing in crypto, but I think crypto has a high risk ratio.

Of course, last year showed us all the cryptocurrency in the cryptocurrency market. I think that we have already become experienced and understand how to invest in crypto assets.

There are a lot of risks in cryptocurrencies. If you have invested in any coin, you understand that firstly the market is very volatile and prices are not stable. Besides, the market is still bearish at the moment. Also, if you are not careful enough, your wallet can be hacked.

The real risks today in the cryptocurrency sector are the failure of the entire segment to work by a legal ban in the real world. Today, the status of cryptocurrency is not indicated. Therefore, everything is fine.

Loss of deposit. I will answer very briefly and immediately, because today there are so many features of the market, which today has real opportunities to fall even lower than normal prices for today.

There are many risks to cryptocurrency, there are scams, changing rules as well as falling price of cryptocurrencies and worse Bitcoincrashes. But it depends on the people who use it they handle situations and cryptocurrency risks.

There is always a risk in everything and we should know more before investing or having this crypto technology.
In the right knowledge that we can have we can avoid the danger and take out the risk.

I would like to rise the case of the awareness of what ideas actually are being supported, as broad variety in crypto projects is undeniable. There is this possibility that at some point, maybe even it is already happened, a project will emerge that will be unobviously harmful to human kind. We have witnessed so many startups, there is no way one can get hundred percent familiar with any given project. Possibility for unknowingly supporting the idea of, let's say blockchain operated killer-robots exist and must be recognised before it will be to late. I'm perfectly aware how crazy this may sound today but that's just a vivid example. Many more potentially dangerous objectives can be crowd funded under false cryptocurrency pretext. Greed have the potential of blinding many to the obvious and so, artificial "intelligence" algorithm that cracks the bitcoin network security could get funded, malicious botnets and so on... 

The major risk in crypto is investing your funds in a project without a usecase. Some of them with use cases and products also fumble.

1. First Risk is If you invest in Fake or Useless project/ICO. These people usually leave their own project after they gather some BTC/ ETH and disappear.
2. 2nd thing is Loss of account due to hack or steal. If anyhow anyone manage to steal your account detail, you will loose all of your token/coin
3. Major correction and volatility, major issues in crypto. People get panicked and dump their tokens to avoid further loss.   
4. Although Crypto is getting popularity, yet very few people know about crypto. Lack of adoption is another risk in crypto
