How much risk in bitcoin investement ?

[dmamigo]

It cannot be quantified but then not risky to invest in Bitcoin for long term. If you plan on buying and holding then Bitcoin is the he right investment but for short term purposes then I'm afraid you might get unlucky and loose some value as small fluctuations do occur every now and then.

Quantifying the risk percentage is quite difficult, but I believe risk is their for all kind of high return investments. The risk for short term is quite high, but about long term at the moment its kind off similar because many countries are still speculating either to accept or ban, so during long term investment, sudden ban can put you in trouble.

Every investment is risky, especialy in Bitcoins, but depends how much risk are you willing to take. It depends also how you invest Bitcoins, do you trade, lend your coins, gamble or something else. So you have to estimate and be rational but investing Bitcoins is risk worth to take for profit.

I have seen that people investing worth 0.10 to 5 bitcoins initially but it would not be good to generalize any such investment as it totally depends on the financial capacity of the investor. It is always advised that one should not invest more than what he can afford to lose as bitcoin is not any traditional form of investment so staking money more than the capacity would be a gamble.

Yes investing in bitcoins will depend on your financial status as no one will take risk of investing all money in bitcoins as everyone is aware that the future of bitcoin is unpredictable and anything can happen with it in future so its better to invest only that amount that we can afford to loose.

Bitcoin is really a place to invest, you do not need to worry about its risk. In fact, we always consider when investing, however, many people because of lack of determination should have made the wrong decision. So, you have to be assertive, I believe you will succeed.

Yes at this stage I don't see any risk in investing money in bitcoins as the price of bitcoin is moving in a positive direction and bitcoin will grow even more in coming years which will make it even stronger and powerful currency holding some really good price.

Right now, Bitcoin is one of the riskiest type of investments available. Here is my wild guess about its future prospects:

25% chance that Bitcoin will become worthless by 2020.
50% chance that the exchange rates will remain in the range of $1,000 to $5,000 by 2020.
25% chance that the exchange rates will top $5,000 by 2020.

In short, the chances that your investment will become worthless is much higher with Bitcoin (25%), when compared to the other options such as equities (5% to 10%) or treasury bonds (<2%).

where you get the data from?  i think that it's not reliable enough to be trusted unless you have good source of this percentage

Are you blind or something? Take a look at the second sentence in the first line of his post. It is just a wild guess, a speculation, an opinion, a baseless point, or whatever you want to call it. Those are just his predictions and not to be believed by anyone. Though his claim is possible, still it is just an opinion. I suggest you read first before you react/reply. You just focused your attention to the numbers and not the entire thought.

Bitcoin is going very well and it's a well known investment by many technology enthusiasts, but the future is unpredictable and with some issues bitcoin price can destabilize, like the hardfork danger.
If it happens the future of bitcoin can be compromised and the risk of this kind of investment will increase a lot, undoing the progress the crypto currency enthusiasts made on the last years.

There is nothing wrong in investing in bitcoins as the price is getting higher now so its a good time to invest in it but make sure that you withdraw your profits at right time as we cannot afford to trust bitcoin blindly as an investment.

[speem28]

Bitcoin investments are pretty risky, well every form of investment is risky. The percentage of risk will now depend on how much caution you will have. You must check every details, review every documents, or even ask for more derails in order to prove that the company or business you want to invest with is legit. Have a background check and research for reviews about the company or business. Also, invest bitcoin that is not hard for you to give. Just be wise on every decision. The risk will always be there and if you earn from your investment, it will be a big income.

The price of bitcoin might get higher with time but when it comes to investments you must have a proper knowledge about the price movements and never plan on investing before learning about it.I would rather suggest to wait out till you see a small correction in price and then you could enter at a good price ,because entry is the most important feature when it comes to making profits.

I just wanted to know that,what amount of risk is there in investing in bitcoins.
Right now i am planning to buy btc approx 3-4 btc and just hold them as i guess the price of bitcoin will increase in future and i will get some good profit.But i want to know what is the risk involved.Can bitcoin price decrease and is this right time to buy the bitcoin.

You will be very lucky if you buy 3 to 4 bitcoins from now because the price of it is increasing with each passing day the future of bitcoin looks very stronger and a lot of companies are supporting bitcoin and the demand of it is increasing with that strength so you will earn a good profit from your investment.

All investment have risk either small return or high return but the higher profit we aim, the higher risk is needed.  This means we have to invest more money and investing more money means the possibility of higher lost.  The future of Bitcoin is still uncertain so inveting Bitcoin for a long term possibly means higher profit since if Bitcoin survive, it is incline to higher price but if it fails, there goes all your money.

Over time, bitcoin prices continue to grow.Though it is not smooth sailing, it managed to recover.I think risk in bitcoin is quite less compared to other cryptocurrency. All cryptocurrency is paired with bitcoin as their basis aside from dollar tether  and others.

Risk is present in any kind of investment so same is in the case of bitcoin, there is risk in due to instability in bitcoin's price but there is also a chance to increase in the price. If we can predict on the basis of current situation then you should buy bitcoins because it increasing day by day so you will definitely get profit.

There is no specific risk in investing in bitcoins since it can wether pump or dump. Thou must also understand that in every investments, always expect uncessary movement such as inflation/volitality.

[avikz]

The risk basically depends on you. Apparently bitcoin investment involves a huge risk for the faint-hearted people because of its dynamic pricing and nothing else. The price can go down at any moment and can go up at any moment, it is all based on public trust. Also if you want some quick profit, then bitcoin investment is not the right place for you.

If you are looking for a long term investment, then you must try bitcoin but restrict your investment only to a minor percentage of your savings amount. Don't try "All-in" game with bitcoin. Try with a limited amount and hold it for long time, you will surely see the money rolling.

The price of bitcoin will grow in the future and no one has a second opinion regarding that,most of the times people are looking to find a proper time to  invest as investments made at the right time and the right price will make a difference in how successful you are at trading and with every market there will be a dip and plan on getting the coins with every dip rather than grabing when the price is high.

There is no measurement when we talk about risk, risk is a risk the same thing with gambling, you are gambling your money with investment. It can go up and down any time.

Just be ready if ever the price go down and be happy when the price go up. But right now it is worth to take the risk as you said it, the price goes up in the long run.

Bitcoin investment can be risky only if you cannot handle it smartly and if you are smart enough then you will be making good profits from it by taking an advantage of price volatility and if you can do that then there is no risk in investing in bitcoins.

[squatz1]

A Bitcoin investment used to be a lot more risky, this would be I say around a year ago based on the volatility of the market and in one day you could lose 10 percent of your value in Bitcoin if you were holding but it could also go the other way! (Never happend to me I'm not that lucky) The risk isn't as high now, but Bitcoin as a whole is still a currency that has these fluctuations now it just takes a week for this all to happen instead of a day and so on.

This is still more of a better investment than other cryptos such as the many altcoins but still very risky. May want to explore the stock market before doing something so drastic like buying into this.

[Doms]

The risk associated with bitcoin would always be there in terms of investments. How much risk one is willing to take is up to him. If a person decides to go all in on bitcoin, that could either be a brave or outrageous move, depending on how much the price of bitcoin has increased or decreased. But if we look at the historical performance, one cannot be blamed for taking more risk because the reward is definitely big.
