How much risk in bitcoin investement ?

[czvezda]

So you are talking about risk. The risk in investing in bitcoin or anything is that you can lose all your money. That is the highest kind of risk in anything. It is your money and it is a huge amount. You have to make the decision yourself. What is your personality? Do you like to take risks? Do you think bitcoins will occupy a beneficial position in your depot? If so, go for it.

Risk is everywhere in life and investment in bitcoins is also not risk free. So there is no thing in the life which has no risk. But i still think investment is bitcoins has very less risk as it is the most demanding currency of this decade.

Even investing in bitcoins involves a huge risk as no one can predict what will be the price of bitcoins in future but as of now I think bitcoin is a good investment as it will definitely survive for next 5 to 6 years so if you invest now and withdraw your profits at the right time then there is no big risk in investing in it at a moment.

in fact every investment is risky, there is no doubt about this, as same is the case about bitcoin that if you will take the risk only then you can make money from tradinng bitcoiin or alt coins.

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 believe in bitcoin will stay around for a long time, as long as there are users, devs, miners and exchanges that supports bitcoin community, it will continue to rise which has been proven all this time until today. Bitcoin start from nothing and become mainstream, worth $1300.
There is risk involved in every investment, including bitcoin too. But the risk is very small, depends on your point of view, if you want to save bitcoin for long term, then anytime is the best time to buy it.

[Mometaskers]

Well, first things first, is that money you're going to use to buy BTC "disposable"? Do you not mind losing it? Also, do you have other saving that you can pull cash out of, rather than dipping into your BTC? If yes, then go ahead.

It currently is at its peak price a few months ago. You might wait for a few days to see any drop, coz as always, it's better to buy stuff when they're cheaper.

As for risks, if we are just talking about price, bitcoin has shown that despite plunges and plateaus it always manages to raise its ceiling so long-term it's a good investment.

As for the technical stuff, you'd probably see people here arguing on how to fix the current state bitcoin is in, with people complaining about high fees and slow confirmation time. I'm one of those clueless on how it should be dealt with but let's just keep our ears ready for news.

Invest either in a casino or in some cool altcoin projects. I highly recommend investing in some altcoin projects. Try to support the ones that sre actually backed by something and not just dreams of being rich.

Investing into something is basically gambling, you ca never know what can happened tomorrow and you'll lose money and maybe you'll profit.  I'd suggest you to research the market well before investing into bitcoin. Tho, I think that buying and holding bitcoin is a great idea because the price is still relatively low to what it's specualted to be in the future year or two. I'd suggest you to buy and hold but if you're interested into investing bitcoin into something, I'd strongly suggest you not to invest all of bitcoins you have, keep more than half and hold it.

Even though all investments got some risks but bitcoins falls under high-risk investment. Especially now because its prices are almost all time high and we all know that its prices can move both directions quite fast. So we can make fast profits and as well as we can also lose money fast. So we shouldn't keep all our money in these high-risk investments, and also we shouldn't miss these products to make good and quick profits. So just allocate some funds for these high-risk products.

yes risk is not only there in bitcoin investment but there is always risk in all types of investment. and without risky no one can make money from trading and investment. but still if you have good experience and skill in trading and investment then you can surely reduce the risk of losing money, as in trading we do not depend 100 % on our luck as we do in gambling. so you need to have good experience and trading and investment skill while going to invest your money in bitcoin or altcoins.

I think the risk of bitcoin investment is not always about price because I sure if the bitcoin price goes down it will definitely recover again even higher. there is also the risk of time that our profit is only a little than compared wasted a lot of time to profit from bitcoin investment.

Well if not in the price of bitcoin by buying and investing with it, I think it is on bitcoin mining, well investing your money with this machine can certainly cost you a lot and you don't expect to ROI that much if you make expenses more than you are earning, well there are a lot of expenses with mining equipment, electrical and internet bill, I think the coverage of expenses needed for this is higher that you can expect you can earn.

[lienfaye]

In every investment it has always risk the same with bitcoin, there is no guarantee that you will gain from it because many possibilities might happen along the way. if you decided to invest on it make sure that you are prepared for the outcome because investing is like gambling. btc is for long term investment and you need to be patient, imo this is not the right time to buy wait for the price to drop a bit.

[JanpriX]

Even the seasoned traders of Bitcoin can't answer your question. We don't know what will happen to BTC in the future and if you're going to investment money to it, you should stop asking people the risk involved in it. Why? You should be responsible to your OWN investments. Do your own research. Try to read the chart to get the fair price to enter and exit from it.

The price right now is a bit high. But if this price holds for many days, you could try to enter some money into it and see if the price of it will fall or increase more. My advice is to invest to it bit by bit.

exactly and even the price is down like you said, we are sure the price will reach more higher than before. we all know that bitcoin have risk and the risk is only about we are loss the amount of money we buy bitcoin but behind that we still have the best investment that we made because the price is always increase. i think if we want to buy bitcoin, its better to wait for the down price. after the price is increase, i am sure that there are any correction of the price so we can get bitcoin with lower price.

In bitcoin investment, If you use any investment sites than it is total risky, because in it, i have very bad experience of it. Whenever i truest on these sites, than always i get loss. So, i suggest you don't need to use any investment sites. But if you buy bitcoins and hold them in your wallet, then it is safe way, and also in future bitcoin give your double profit.

Yes investing money in bitcoins is safe in compare to investing bitcoin in any online sites as we had bad experience in the past by investing our bitcoins there hoping to multiply them quick but it never happened as those sites were scam who disappeared with people's money.

[mylabs01]

Basically we don't know the risk in every site if you invest money in a site first is you don't know if the site was trusted there are site that can give you small profit but many site are just scamming people who invested.

absolutely correct! no one knows what risks in every site has. if op is planning to invest or buy btc and if he will only prefer to hold it, then he may store it in cold storage or any hardwallets that has no third party involve to have it more secure and with without risk compared to investment sites.

Buying bitcoins and keeping them safe in wallet for a long term is the best investment to make as price has been increasing over a period of time and we may see the same trend in near future too and that will give the best returns if we wait for the right time to sell our bitcoins.

Lets have a quick look on what will you be spending for buying 4 Bitcoins

1 BTC = 1240$ as of April 23, 2017
4 BTC = 4960$

You are almost spending 5000 Dollars for 4 Bitcoin because you "Guess" that it will grow in the future, I might say you are a little bit guessing without supporting facts. Bitcoin right now has an uncertain future with regards to its legality and its demand which plays a big role for its price. Also this kind of currency which is volatile is not suited for Investing rather it is more suited in Trading in which you can take advantage of big price drops that may recover overtime that is proven many times, my advice look at its price chart as you will see clearly the price trend it is going.

I don't understand how is it possible to see the trend looking at the price charts. Actually I strongly believe that nobody is capable of that. Nobody can say with certainty whether the price will go up or down from any given point. That's why trading is risky, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.

[KuromaYoichi]

I can't give you the exact number because different investment hold different risk. But in my opinion bitcoin is one of the high risk high reward investment. If you want to buy 3-4 bitcoin, better wait the price to go lower than right now. It's high that i'm afraid that the bubble will pop.

[bryant.coleman]

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%).
