Bitcoins Investment: risk or benefit?

[Victorycoin]

Every investment do really have the risk on losing money on it and you cant heard of some investment that 100% profit guaranteed

That is right, there is no one investment or asset that can give you profit with risk attached and in case you find one, please run for safety. It is actually the risk factor an asset has that makes it worth something and attractive otherwise it's garbage. It is your business as an investor or speculator to manage the risks, so that profit making can be possible. Imagine what would happen when you choose to close your eyes and take your hands off your steering wheel

...and we know that bitcoin might crash anytime but......

I don't know where you got that from, but today is bitcoin's 8th birthday and it is waxing even stronger. The ones crashing are the fiats of not one nor two countries. The price of bitcoin won't be high at all times, but that is not same thing or a pointer that  bitcoin is crashing. In fact, the price of every financial asset goes through peaks and troughs as a result of market forces and that is even a very good attribute for traders and investors, because stagnant market brings little or no profit.

-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 is that bitcoin is still a new technology so it is still being adopted and with growth of this adoption, its price will go up and give the investors a good amount of profit.

but at the same time the same thing means bitcoin is still new and needs a lot more development to become ready for the real world (you can say now it is 80 ready more or less)

but i disagree with taxes being a negative thing. taxes actually can mean government allowed bitcoin to be recognized as a valid currency.

To my point of view is a small risk for a big benefit. Assuming that you buy now to invest in the same place as with fiat money it's the same risk but for sure you have at least near to zero fees. If investment for somebody is hoarding, then after eight years bitcoin has gain enough maturity compared the alt coins and is not inflationary as fiat money. So the risk is very low.

Bitcoin has some risk and some benefit but I think benefit is much more than risk.
Bitcoin is very useful and faster than cash. The purchase and transaction is very easy, safe and fast.
about the risk, almost governments are scared of dirty cash, terrorist finance, drugs, no taxes.
However. Bitcoin will must have a legal law to be accepted in the near future.

I think that benefits are much bigger than risk here.
I don't think that bitcoin can collapse in the near future.
In fact, I think that bitcoin will become mainstream soon and its price will jump to the sky
I don't think that any country will officially accept bitcoin, because of international financial regulations, decentralization of btc etc.
Any computer can be hacked but if you are careful and have good security on your computer and change all passwords often, you will be fine.

Bitcoin is just for a person who want to risk. If you dont want to risk, then stay away from bitcoin. Investors are the person who are willing to risk and hope for better result.
You know bitcoin is really worth to risk your money. Because its really profitable. If you are patient enough. You could earn much money.

[talkbitcoin]

this is an speculative matter.
when you invest in bitcoin, you are speculating about the price and like any other investment there will always be risks and rewards at the same time. you just have to learn the basics of an investment and be wise about it to make profit and not lose money.
in other words investing wisely in bitcoin will give you profit not panic investment.

investment with bitcoin itself could give a lot of benefits to you at the same time it also has a risk because we can never be surely that you can grow your money and gain a profit from investing your money in bitcoin as the price is fluctuating we wouldn't know what will be the next movement of it . these people are right every investment has a risk and no investment is safe .

[Mr.Nath]

Since inceptions it has never devalued (if am right)..... It keeps going up in value. That's a great sign it may get even better in future in terms of value.

Even if Governments decide to task us, then they can only do that via banks cos we cant compromise our account for anything. we will have to open a new bank account solely for this purpose.

If you do hear about those investments with 100% risk-free then you should think twice because those things are scam and we should think that in able to earn money we should really take the risk on lossing some of our capital and if we are ready on that then you already accepts the risk.The important thing here is that we should not jump carelessly into investment that we dont know or doesnt include on our interest.

[Kprawn]

All investments have some level of risk, and bitcoin is no exception. We always say, "Never invest more than what you can afford to lose" and

this still stands. If you wait long enough, you might even make some profits. The hacking risk is very high because most people use the

vulnerable centralized services to store their bitcoins. This risk is manageable, if you use the more secure methods to store the majority of

your coins in cold storage.

Honestly holding bitcoin we can consider it as investment and much safe than the other bitcoin investment site. the only risk is if the price will going down or the price will crash.. if you found a site like you said many promises that you money will make profit just to invest without doing nothing for few days those are HYIP and ponzi that almost all are scam never trusting them again because i was 3 times victim of the schemes. better to stay away for those site.

I never thought of countries accepting bitcoin and applying taxes on it, that may happen but not so soon as it seems, and about hacking part, i don't think anyone would come to know that i have bitcoins in my computer so that they can start trying to hack my computer, unless there is someone in my home spying me everyday and comes to know i'm using bitcoins in my daily life and hacks into my computer.

It is all about risk vs reward. You will never make any money ever without taking risks. Ask anyone who is financially wealthy.
If the reward is much better then the risk then I would go for it so long as what you risk is not too much of your capital unless it is a good solid longterm investment that is over 10 years old and well established.

Every investment has risk involved, but if don't risk you don't get much money in return. From my point of view, bitcoin is not 100% safe but is nice to have some in your possession. For sure, if the government will use only the bitcoin currency, I will create a specific wallet and pay my tax and comply with the laws of my country.

After the eight years mentioned here, the value of the bitcoin must have appreciated, but the fiat even if there happens to be some appreciation would be wiped off by inflation and transaction fee. No broker is necessary to be able to buy and hold bitcoin till whenever, because bitcoin empowers the holder to be his own bank.

The best advice I've heard,take risks but also calculate your profits and losses cause you have to be prepared if things don't go the expected way.Risks are what will take you from the place you are now to the place you want to end up being,just be sure that you have a plan you can fall on in case you don't end up in profit.Now you've got the strategy the most important step is to do something about it and take action

[staceyoh]

There are many benefits that you
can get in using bitcoin  maybe you
will doubt in its safetyness but many
will guarantee that bitcoin is very safe.

[iqlimasyadiqa]

I think currently investing in bitcoin is very profitable. we can see that every day bitcoin prices continue to rise rapidly.
we have to take a decision. because success begins with the courage to take action. and bitcoin is the path to success.

[Red-Apple]

as we all know this already in any investment there will be risks and benefits at the same time, you can not separate them from each other. and the benefits of bitcoin investment is not just the more money that you get, the benefits are actually the bitcoin and the fact that you can use it as a currency to pay for things fast, cheap, secure, and anonymously without needing to give them all your personal information and documents!
