How much risk in bitcoin investement ?

[dihari]

The risk you can get from bitcoin investment is directly proportional with the profit you can earn. The more profit you want to take when investing big amount not bitcoin, the more amount of risk you will get when the price is not like what you predict. The good news is, even the price is not run high like what you wish your bitcoin still have value like the first time you buy it as long as you don't sell them at lower price.
If you ask for the right time to invest, I may say you are too late. You should invest in btc at 2011 to be millionaires now.  
But there always beleive in this community that bitcoin will not stop in this price ($1200). Good luck

Investment in bitcoins isn't risk free thing and nobody can guarantee that bitcoin price will not decrease. In my opinion, bitcoin price gan down in short period, but in long term it will only rise, as we already saw in recent years when bitcoin price increased few times. If you really believe in bitcoin, I think you need to buy it, but don't invest more than you can afford to loose.

I think all investment proceeds has an impending risk even if you are investing to something even if it is bitcoin, but the percentage was not quite Viewable right now and we only do a speculations on what we really think the percentage in our own opinion and if you are buying right now I think it is really too late now you can get some value but not that high not if you bought it back at $900 value mark I think that will be profitable when you hit the $1300 mark right now!

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.

i think you can buy directly 3-4 btc for now but i think you need to wait until the price is gets down a little so you can buy with lower price than now. i think you make good decision to hold your bitcoin and i am sure that in future, you can get much of profit but you need to be patience. there is always the price is decrease and its because of the situation in the market and the news that is release and how trader will react with the news. but you don't need to get panic because as many of us will say that the price will be back like before and raise high price.

There is no guarantee that price will only go higher in future and it can crash down too so invest only that amount that you can afford to loose and price is close to $1300 now which is too high so if you want to buy 3 to 4 btc then you should wait for the price drop as if you buy them now and if price goes down in coming days then you need to wait longer to make profits from it.

No one can predict accurately what the price would be in future.It is most likely to go up going by previous trends but if you can't take a risk,bitcoin trading is not for you.

Every time is the right time to buy bitcoin when you are talking about the long term investment with it. Because the bitcoin is great for long term investment, And then the bitcoin price is increasing every year so bitcoin will be god if you buy it and sell it maybe after a few years it will became a huge earning. So for me no risk at all because I trust bitcoin.

there is no fool proof answer to this question. it is all speculation. Every investment has a risk.

You should consider halving your investment in Bitcoin, and spreading the other half to the coins in position 2-5 on coinmarketcap. We are still too early in this game to see a clear winner.

I would also contribute to what others have in which I am sure no one will say in all certainty what will happen in the future as the future is uncertain. All I can add is that if you are sure then you just need to take your time in analysing your course of action and determine the amount of loss you can take in case the worse happen, with that I can assure that there is always a market for you to sell, then you can count your losses and move on.

Why do people just wanna write something and post here so that they can increase their post count..?
To OP: investment are subject to market risks. Similarly even investments in Bitcoin is risky as well.
I would say earn bitcoins rather than investing, that's better.

I can't agree 100 % with your thinking.
Bitcoin, or any other investment, either in crypto currency, HYIP or trading, is always risk, don't forget it.
We can't know what can happen with bitcoin in the future.
It's possible that some other crypto currency will replace bitcoin and become more popular.
In such scenario, less people will be interested in bitcoin and bitcoin price will go down.
In my opinion, perfect time to buy bitcoin was a few years ago, when we could buy bitcoin relatively cheap, for $ 200 or 300.
Now, if we want the same profit, btc price should be around $ 6000-8000 what is very difficult to achieve.
So, please be realistic here and don't expect big profits.

Every investment have risk you need have a self confidence that you have positive thoughts that bitcoin can give you a good profit in the future. Don't think negative once you invest money in any investment site.

I know there are some who are willing to explain in detail how u can make your investment but it will still have to depend on you. If you are really willing to take the risk. Asides the risk u need to educate yourself. If your investment is in altcoins which I believe is lucrative for now, then u will do a lot of research. However, information acquired does not guarantee success, that is why u invest what u afford. And with time your confidence will make u take bigger risk

[Strebba90]

every investment have a risk.
for bitcoin every time is a good time for me. if price decrease, not panic, just hold for a few month and the price will rise again.
obviously you invest only what you can afford to lose.

Positive attitude will never help in making profits if you are investing at the wrong place as those are the places whose main intention is only to scam you and run away with your money so its better not to invest bitcoins anywhere and hold them for a long term and sell when you see higher price in future.

I dont get the main point of this sentence about that the investment in bitcoin is not risk free, lol.

Any investment you are going to do is not guaranteed, and always contains some risk. One may be more risky than the other, but every single one will have this common part.

You cannot really count the risk on the bitcoin, because it is same like buying house or a property, and counting the risk. You cannot really predict the future, how the price on the market are going to change through next few years, especially in such a difficult place like a cryptocurrencies market, where some coins are being created in the same moment when the others are dissapearing.

See there as such is no risk in buying 3-4 bitcoins.
This is because the value of bitcoins fluctuates around a stable value.
That is consider today's scenario the value of bitcoins is stable around 1100$ but fluctuates a bit.
So if you purchase 3-4 bitcoins and if the price rise or growth rate of BTC is slow you won't loose much.

There is no such thing as a no risk investment.
If you're expecting revenue from something then expect loses also.

Assuming there would be a bullet proof investment what would it happen when everybody invest in it?
Where would that profit come from?

Bitcoin prices are all over the place , don't even mention the word "stable".

Very true. Emotional investments are a bad idea. Many have learned that the hard way.

As with all investments, there is always a certain degree of risk.  Bitcoin is generally less riskier than altcoins though.

Every job must have risks. You must be ready to take everything that happens if you want to make a profit. The decision is yours.
