Bitcoins Investment: risk or benefit?

[Bitcoinsummoner]

there are a lot of benefits to invest in Bitcoin. Even so, there are also a few downsides. Bitcoin gets you rid of capital control and for me that is the major benefit. As for the the downside, what I can tell you is that, since Bitcoin is still a fairly recent experiment there is always the chance Bitcoin can crash and lose all its value. However, and judging by its brilliant performance in the last few years, I do think that's a risk you should be willing to take.

I think bitcoin really is not risky because i believe that the price will increase more again if we seen that the price was drop these days i think the price can be still increase again back.. if you know bitcoins already in 2015 if you compare there is the advantage because the price is really increased and we are touch in 800 value and experience to hit $1k value and more price will come i think..
So there is no risk for me if you buy right now.. government still not asking for a tax for bitcoin so better to enjoy what is bitcoin right now.

bitcoin is more of a benefit than risk

Yes i can understand the risk factor with a simple line of msg 

Bitcoin investment is always we have 50 50 chances don't know when the price will increase and when it falls. The only thing you need to be very accurate when you invest in bitcoin, you need to keep an eye on when it increases at that you can sell them at higher price in this way you will make profit.

Every investment has its risk and bitcoin is the market where traders thrive because the market is conducive to day trading with the massive changes you could make a really huge amount of money ,i am not sure about the possibilities of a long term investment but the market is ripe for trading regularly and with the volatility it has it is the best form of investment in terms of returns .

Bitcoin itself can be considered a good investment, due to the potential reward, but it is a risky investment. The Bitcoin market is a relatively new market, with limited liquidity compared to fiat currencies. That brings high volatility, and that's one of the reasons why I see Bitcoin as a risky investment.

yeah but this has been changing. every year there is more volume and more investors apart from the day to day users that are also using bitcoin for their payments online. and the risk has been getting lower and lower. you can see from the history that in the past two years price has been rising consistently.

No the risk aren't getting lower, it's still the same. Just because of the price increase we can't state that bitcoin investment is not risky anymore or had been lowered. It's depend on how people will enhanced their trading skills or any kinds of system they are applying to make sure they are getting benefits in bitcoin.

Look at those persons who bought at $1100 recently and didn't able to sold before the sudden decrease, do you think that's what you called the lowered risk? It's up to their analyzation.

Wake up from your dream, the latest price falling just happened not so long ago and you still say the price has been rising consistently, I honestly even doubtful that you're actually ever seeing the price statistics or not. Well, besides of that thing, I want to say that from my perspective the risk still remain the same because the volatility still high just like as usual
Bitcoin getting used for an online payments is just normal as it should be

-Benefits is you may use that bitcoin to invest in other Bitcoin services and invest bitcoin is safe,profit good
-Risk is that Bitcoin collapses and if countries and government accept Bitcoin, Bitcoin will have tax, your computer can be hacked
What’s your opinion?

The benefit of bitcoins for me, today i can trade with strategy arbitase and exchange bitcoins to fiat via skrill and neteller. And the other strategy trading altcoins for save my capital, because it can use small capital and large of capital.

Risk on bitcoin is high fluctuating of price, even though it is chance for making money on trading altcoins or bitcoins to fiat on the markets.
About bitcoins will have taxes, it is normal for building on every countries and it is not becoming problem for me.
Hacking problem on the computer depend on the owners of computer for protect it, and i think bitcoin can not be blamed because of hacking problem.

There are mainly two types of investments with bitcoin :
1) Direct Bitcoin investment : In this type of investment user can buy bitcoin at current price in market and stake it for price increase. When price will increase user can sell it for getting profit.

2) Altcoin Investment : This investment is quite tricky. As firstly user have to buy Bitcoins . Then have to use that BTC to buy any of altcoin. (may be multiple) And then have to wait for price increase and then sell. It can also call in short trading.

And always financial transaction might be risky but beneficial.

Investment means always risk, none can assure you that you will win always.And there is a matter of luck also.No investment is risk free and if you wanna win you have to take risk.We believe in bitcoin and bitcoin didn't disappointed us for long time.So,we do bitcoin investment again and again.Though everytime we didn't get profit but most of time..

It depend on how you calculate risk to reward. To invest in bitcoin there are advantages and disadvantages, however the benefits pass the risk. For now bitcoin is one of the good think happening to the world and it may interest you to know that most central bank around the world are trying to adopt blockchain as part of their country currencies.

Nothing there worth investing your bitcoins except bitcoin itself! all you need to do is to buy some and hold and sell when price is profitable for you to sell but not all your coins, always keep at least 10 bitcoins for 10 or 20 years.
Nothing to worried about if bitcoin crashes because that is almost impossible.

I think one should invest the amount which he can afford to lose. Bitcoin has great potential the price will reach new heights in the coming future but that’s my opinion and I don’t want anyone (including my friends) to invest in bitcoin relying on my opinion. I think everyone should do his own research before investing and that’s the only way for him to take wise investing decisions.

I'm starting to believe more and more that you should actually split that affordable amount into more "pieces", and although they are smaller, you can invest in more opportunities. For example I thought about investing in Altcoins and which one would you prefer, having $100 in your wallet: investing $100 in Litecoin, investing $10 in 10 different Altcoins or investing $1 in 100 different Altcoins? If you choose the first one, your investment could fail and if it does.. you'll lose everything. But splitting it up into more pieces could mean huge income just from one of them rising.

I agree with this strategy and we all know that ‘one should not put all eggs in one basket’. Diversification reduces the risk of losing the capital and it distributes the risk among the investment options in which we decide to invest. I have my personal experience that systematic diversified investments usually give good returns at the end.

Latest drop in price made me worry, I wont lie. And all this China threating also make me wonder.... So yeah, for me its a risk considering all the latest news. Might be becouse I'm rather new to bitcoin so dont know what to believe or not

[hero1111]

I dont think bitcoin investment  is not risk  if we talk long term investment because if we think short term for 2 months for example i have money and i m m thinking to invest for someting , when i look at bitcoin price it is really hight now and i think people can sell thier bitcoin for bitcoin price can fall because of for sort time bitcoin investment is risk but for long term, bitcoin investment is benefit .

[Mr.grin]

investment actually was very helpful, especially for the future. we do not know what will happen in the future, and what problems we will encounter. so very good to prepare for any eventuality that by way of investment. maybe it would be a bit risky, because the benefits of direct investment can not you feel. it takes a long time until he could be something useful.

It is relative and with good financial management tools in place you can minimize your risk and make a long term profit. For instance with the current pump/rise I always had a suspicion that it was going to drop somehow but just didn't know when so any critical financial investor would have sold his/her bitcoins after the first drop and would wait for it to stablize after the fall to go buy back all his bitcoins at a cheaper Cody and make a descent profit as a result.

[Oggy1987]

I wrote before somewhere, I saw it isnt healthy rise... Usually when it rise too fast, it drops soon. And I'm sorry now I didnt sell it, would have been nice profit. Im here for the long term, and ofcourse I didnt put all eggs in 1 basket. It's sort of a gamble, and i dont bet with money I cant afford to lose

[avikz]

Almost every investment is subjected to market risk and bitcoin is exposed to even greater amount of risk as there is not central authority. So if the price starts crashing, no one will step ahead to prevent it. Also it is not back by any asset like gold or any other precious metal. Hence bitcoin investment is always riskier.

However, bitcoin also has the potential to reward you suitable if you are willing to take the risk. Those who are investing in bitcoin from long time now, they are already sitting on a huge profit. So invest wisely and wait for long period to get a good amount of return in bitcoin. No other conventional investment will be able to give you that much of return.

[angaper]

I have realized that the possibility of carrying out anonymous transactions with bitcoins has meant a great opportunity for scammers to offer alleged investment options, most of them simple ponzi schemes that are prevailing in several countries, and this has led many people to lose money and trust in the bitcoin economy. That is way we need to be aware of where we decide to invest our coins.

[jak3]

the risk level in this case is pritty lower because the chanses of collapsing of bitcoin is 99.99% and if we take that that lowest value and see it like a risk then also we have lot more cryptocurrency options i am sire if bitcoin collapsed then the whole crowd will be split into many smaller groups and will be distributted into the whole market

[Ewinsane]

i think recently hold your bitcoin is much more beneficial than investment of bitcoin because bitcoin increasing its price with fast and a lot of people buying bitcoin and then hold it for higher price of bitcoin to make a big profit.
