How much risk in bitcoin investement ?

[twitami1]

Now bitcoin will increase the desire for centralization. This is due to the fact that the exchange rate is becoming more active in the biton's exchange rate, where they sell and buy this crypto currency. In addition, the very "mining" of bitcoins is gradually concentrated in the hands of a fairly narrow circle of people - owners of the latest technology, which makes it possible to extract new bitcoins.

A very important advantage is the high volatility of bitcoin prices. Since the beginning of 2017, the bitcoin course has soared by 900%, updating more and more highs.

If you plan to invest in the long term, your risks are significantly reduced. But you have to choose a very secure way to store and don't trust no one to log in to it.

The risk is high since the market value is volatile aside from it is not govern by the government authorities. You need to be a risk taker, invest only an amount what you can afford to lose. The opposite side for this risk looking not just the technology itself is the value of Bitcoin which is more interesting. But until such you don't make profit from it make it as a part-time.

We are all deeply afraid that bitcoin may fall sharply in price and no longer grow in value. Unfortunately, this can happen despite the fact that the probability is very low.

At the moment I think Bitcoin and Ethereum are by far the most secure cryptos that you can investo into. And by secure I mean with the least risks.
Other crypto currencies may not have a solid project behind therefor you will be exposed to higher risks, even scam.

The traditional measure of risk is volatility. This determines how much the price of the underlying asset deviates from its mean over a specified period of time. Bitcoin's volatility is very high in comparison to other asset classes. What this boils down to is that bitcoin can basically make you a lot of money or lose you a lot of money because the price can move extremely in both directions which are totally unpredictable.

There is always the risk to lose everything. Of course, the bitcoin price can fall sharply, but it won't go to zero suddenly, as long as the blockchain is functioning. However, there are many other pitfalls:

1) The computer/usb/hardware wallet can be hacked or just break and you might lose your wallet and all of your coins.
2) The exchange can be hacked, if you keep some coins in an exchange (what you should never do btw). This can happen to even huge exchanges as we have seen in the past (Mt Gox, BTC-E, Cryptsy etc.).
3) You can make a mistake and send your precious Bitcoins to the wrong address. Sometimes a typo is enough and with all the forks such as Bitcoin Cash going on, it is easy to mix it up.

Overall, there are many chances in investing in Bitcoin; however,  there are also many pitfalls regardless of the Bitcoin price.

Actually these should not be considered investment risks, but risks inherent in the Internet security, because unfortunately that is a problem that is not exclusive of cryptocurrencies, but of all those that depend on the internet to exist, so all databases, financial systems and users in general will be at constant risk of suffering such attacks so we must always be a step forward in terms of security measures.

For me I do not see volatility as a major risk because I am into long term investment.
if you look at the price movement, there is always a pump and dump that is gonna happen but yearly it has give a good increase which is beneficial
for people like us who are holding for longer term, we just have to be a real believer so we will not gonna panic easily.

BTC investment is very risky and so is investing in cryptocurrency as a whole. the market is very unpredictable and unstable, the price today and the the prices tomorrow may represent a very huge difference. thats's why its advisable to only commit the money you can afford to lose. veteran investors however understand that high risk investments often bring back high returns, and that's why they take the chances. do not venture into BTC is you aren't ready to lose.

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.

Volatility bitcoin make people afraid to investing in bitcoin. That very often happen in a days sometimes it goes up and down quickly, chance to buy and sell is less. People should pay more attention to the chart so as not to miss the chance.

I agree and add that tha higher risk,, tha highest return!  this is basically how it is.higher return then you risk is more risky.bitcoin first saw so many profeses that they are some believers and now they are worthless! especially those who head thousand  of bitcoin when tha price was a  fraction of each present. those who have been able to buy bitcoin before.now has become very rich so this bitcoin will increase as much below as possible,,, our perfect time..

Investing with a large or small value if the loss is certainly the same impact, but the value of the investment alone will be a problem because everything is based on speculation and prediction.

 In my own opinion there is no any measurement can used to measure the risk in bitcoin. All I know is the company and management of bitcoin do their best to secure all moneys of their investors.
