The biggest risk of holding your bitcoin is loss.. Because the bitcoin price is may getting down or getting up on anytime.. So when you think this is the correct time to exchange our bitcoin on there the bitcoin value may decreased and that time you could reach loss..

As I said in the title. I was interested in putting my money into Bitcoin because of the ever-increasing price.
But I want to know what the biggest risk is to hold Bitcoin?
Currently, I do not see the risk that bitcoin can bring as its value increases and there is no stopping, signal so the risk it can give is equivalent to zero.  Grin Grin Grin Grin

They're right, the biggest risk really is, your money might lose. Because we are not controlling Bitcoin's price moves, it may fall unexpectedly. But that's the way it is, if you want to pursue life, you must first sacrifice.

In terms of losing your investment, the risk is low and depending on where you come from the only risk is the legality and regulations that are making owning bitcoins a nightmare.

They're right, the biggest risk really is, your money might lose. Because we are not controlling Bitcoin's price moves, it may fall unexpectedly. But that's the way it is, if you want to pursue life, you must first sacrifice.
I agree to succeed in life we need to risk a little but the blockchain technology has allowed bitcoin to prosper and i don't see its price falling as described.

The  risk i can think of is the risk of being hacked when your wallet is not protected.  Also when bitcoin gets banned.
Yes, there’s a risk of holding bitcoin, if your wallet is not safe to store or you might lose your access in your private key so we should better to store our bitcoin in a secure wallet and always check it. Bitcoin is an investment and just like other investment opportunities it has always a risk but we should know how to minimize it so that we will not regret it at the end. If you’re planning to buy bitcoin make sure that always updated and don’t easily get panic if bitcoin price gets down.

To be honest, I don't see any  risk in holding BTC if your looking for a long-term investment, the future of Bitcoin is just really bright.
However if you're into short-term investments, BTC is still quite volatile, within a day BTC can fluctuate 20% and dip 40% on the next day.

for now holding bitcoin is not too risky, because bitcoin prices always rise, my estimate in the month of january bitcoin prices will return to the price of 5k.

I agree with most people here, like any asset loss of value is the biggest risk. Though many people do not think it will go down, there is still that tiny chance that it will happen. Say for example China having 70% of miners all over the world suddenly bans mining, then for sure it will have an effect on the value of btc. You will never know what can happen. Some other catastrophic event that affects its value can happen anytime. It could be new technology ir a new altcoin.

I actually think that the biggest risk holding bitcoin is that you don't hold enough ETH instead Cheesy

I think that now risks to BITCOIN is very small. He has huge popularity, it now fled the most delicious of money.
The only thing may be detrimental impact to Cue this policy. Let USA now say the cue ball outside the law and close 2 their exchange POLO TREX there may be boiling to begin. In General I think the risks come from countries that may prohibit it

One thing you need to know the price of bitcoin is uncertain always increase, but it is only predicted from the users because we don't know what will happen in the future,I think the biggest risk is the fall or even loss of bitcoin value, I suggest you if you already invest in bitcoin don't easily panic.
We are trading bitcoin as trading and trading is always risky. In fact we cannot predict about the result of trading. But Still using our skill and experience we minimize the risk of losing our investment. In fact bitcoin price is not predictable but we use our analysis about bitcoin price and but still we are not 100% sure that either our prediction will proof as correct or wrong.

Bitcoin price is not always increasing, it is not stable there are times bitcoin price decreases so that is the risk we could lose our money if bitcoin price does not increase but as more people use bitcoin and invest in it bitcoin price have a high possibility to increase

Bitcoin in long term has no risk i think but if you are observing for short time trading then it may provide you loss due to unexpected movement of their price but if you are holding for long time purpose then you have no risk.

The biggest risk when you hold bitcoin is the chance that you can easily lose your money, we all know that bitcoin dont have stable price and anytime the price can be worthless and if that happen we lose are money that's why before you hold make sure that you are aware in the situation of bitcoin and also you should know that bitcoin is a volatile.

I think the unique real risk of holding Bitcoin is that price drop down and become with low price. This risk is nowadays minimized because Bitcoin keep growing up daily and its value go up as well day after day. So holding Bitcoin actually works and its profitable for the long run.
There is also a small risk that you lose access to your wallet or to your private keys.

I think the biggest risk would be being unaware that the price of what you are holding onto went high. That’s the thing about being a trader. We pften hold onto our bitcoin for quite some time, knowing that it’s price could go higher.

The biggest risk of bitcoin is getting banned by some countries and the value devaluation of it. Otherwise done, bitcoin will be surviving well in the next months and years. The future of it is bright.
But even a banning is not going to be every effective against bitcoin since it is almost impossible that all the countries of the world ban bitcoin at the same time, so I think  that even if some countries ban bitcoin, the world is too big and there is a lot of money to be made for those willing to invest in bitcoin now despite that risk.

The times hardfork and Segwit do bitcoin much discount. But over time hardfork and segwit, bitcoin still stands today. Currently, I think there is no reason to stop the bitcoin increase in the coming time.

Well, whether you lose it or gain more of it. As of today bitcoin is totally increasing and it was $8000 already. It was so great to hold some.
