I think the greater risk would be investing at the higher price then all of a sudden the price will go down, you will definitely get a loss with that situation and will hold your btc until it pumps again and gain a profit.
This is why if you are entering the market at this time it may not be the best idea to buy and have the mentality of holding no matter what, you need to be ready to sell, that way if something goes wrong you do not lose as much money, but for those that invested way before this they can afford to hold even if there is a crash.

I think the most risk of holding Bitcoin is its legalization. If all countries around the world ban it, the price can fall down quickly and you will lose your money.

Risk 1: The value of BTC could crash.
Risk 2: Bitcoins can be stolen if the security is not strong enough.

Yes. The first thing you’ve mentioned is also the first thing that comes in my mind when I read or I heard the word “HOLD”. We do not know or maybe the right thing to say is that “no one knows” when bitcoin will crash. Another that is also possible to happen is that what if you’re holding your bitcoin since it is  now huge then all of a sudden your country ban bitcoin. What can we do?
About risk 2 you mentioned, it is something like “hack”. Maybe the can avoid we just have to be very careful. Make sure all our private key are protected. Of course our computer must have a strong firewall, anti-spyware, anti-virus so that some malicious site will be block and cannot harm by someone or get any information from us.
Holding is one of the very effective in earning money today. But by holding we must “take the risk”.

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?

There are also disadvantage of holding bitcoin, since bitcoin price is volatile, you may miss some pump or dump of bitcoin. Buy low, sell high idea.

The risk of holding bitcoin is when the bitcoin value dump. That is the biggest fear of the one who's holding a bitcoin. If I were you, I'll just buy and sell my bitcoin like a trading. Sell high and buy low

So funny? Why do you scare the value of Bitcoin? Although in the past, I also thought that one day without internet, Bitcoin would become useless but it is not the worst situation I must to worry, because there are still many problems when we do not have internet. Wink

Yes i think hold bitcoin and trading have both their merits and demerits. My personal view is that holding bitcoin will be a good decision as compare to short term investment. in short term invest your must need to e too much expert and must have good experience, while in long term investment you can make money even having less experience.

I think the biggest risk in bitcoin is when the value fall. Are you willing to take the risk and hold your bitcoin for a long time. High risk means higj reward.

bitcoin does not have the risk of hohold because of the bitcoin when it comes to buying a bitcoin for the way you earn a big deal, other bitcoin users just make a little bitcoin hold, then they coconvert it immediately into usd. But for sure it's time for me to hold a bitcoin way to earn a bit of bitcoin.

The risk of holding bitcoin if the price is fall down or maybe some  government official  wanted that bitcoin will be officially band  that is the big risk for every one who is working in bitcoin but it would not because bitcoin is our hope in life we want to success in this kind of business .

Indeed their so no such big  risk in holding bitcoin because we can see that price of bitcoin is increasing with time most probably while falling of price is very less so if you can hold bitcoin for some time then off course you can make profit by selling after some time while also make sure that when you are doing holding trading then you need to keep your eyes on price graph on every instant to judge the price of BTC.

One of the risk in holding Bitcoin is wallet hacking ;If somebody hacks into your wallet where you store your Bitcoins you lost them for good. The best way to store your Bitcoins is on disk that is disconnected from the internet.
Another risk is price fluctuations, if price of Bitcoin keep dropping you loose your investment but if it keep rising, you profit soar.

Not much risk if youre watching the market and sell out some before they ever might hit bottom.
No there is no risk now in bitcoin holding because the rate of bitcoin is going increasing like a bullet fire and now all people are holding bitcoins for future because they want to make more money in future from bitcoin.

Asking that question is a good idea when starting to invest in bitcoin. Risking money is the issue when talking about investing yet we tend to ignore the risk. Investing in bitcoin's biggest risk is the volatility on it. Yes, bitcoin's price increases massively but because it is volatile it could one day break and lose its price instantly. Some experts say to avoid such massive loss is to invest only the amount you can afford to lose and keep every profit you earn in your investment.

I think there is no any big risk in keeping bitcoin as it has become very strong currency of the trading market. It will give profit if you keep it for longer time. In case of any fluctuation in the market one should wait for better value of the coin in the market. If you can hold it in the market then its value will go up. Those who are doing short term trading have nothing to worry . It is the currency of the future and it will stabilize its investors economically.

Bitcoin is a decentralised, autonomous currency. Its supply is restricted to 21 million bitcoins. Due to trust and confidence by its investors and traders bitcoin`s price is crossing new targets. Bitcoins limited supply and growing demand making it more and more volatile day by day. Such volatility is risky for any currency. Bitcoins price swings up and down by more than 15% at a time, resulting in profit as well as huge loss for its traders and bitcoin holders.
Look, the BTC's risks are the same as holding onto any other valuables. They are several aliases, he simply can not have the courage that some day was worth, he can be robbed of its owner.

And in the case of the BTC, the owner of the wallet may lose access to the wallet which would result in the loss of their money (this is more common than many people think, some experts say that approximately 3.8 million may be lost forever). If you make a list you will have several items but this is common and most can be bypassed.
