There's no risk if your holding bitcoin. but ofcourse the risk of trading it everyday is very high. Even governments will shut it down not all countries will listen because there are counties that accepts bitcoin. but for sure all countries will unite as one if China will regulated it.

The risk of holding is that some big move of the big powers against Bitcoin leads to its price to crash. Or that the whales decide the want to switch to gold.

The risk of holding bitcoin is not holding it. I am sure you must have seen bitcoin prediction in terms if price and you must have thought to yourself how ridiculous they those predictions are. The truth us those predictions are the potential of bitcoin.

I don't think a bitcoin whale will change to gold , i agree about the big powers if you mean it in the form of government and big financial institutions . If they feel threatened by bitcoin they will for sure forbid it.

The big risk is your bitcoin loss. It's so many reasons to make your bitcoin loss, like your wallet hacked with hackers or your have lost your password so you not have access to your account anymore. I think no big risk except loss.

Correct those are the big influence behind, the government that felt the threat are the ones who wanted this system being crashed, as people around this business relied on how the financial institute moves and take the advantage of riding with the flow, so we will see more unusual movements and one of the risk is to panic when you are unable to analyze well and thinks that the value won't fly back.

The risk is that you hold to much bitcoins and it means you hold more money.  Don't worry because you will just hold it, there's no chance to steal it from you.  It's the time to monitor your coins that it may fall or rise. But we wise to cash out your coins cause someday it will crash out get nothing from your earnings.

Holding some BTC resounding to some people who have some interest on you,but it can exposed their to cryptoworld who knows your next door neighbor have all the potential to earn a lot of BTC.

This is not true. This will only apply if you are keep boasting in your neighborhood that you are earning some BTC. I barely talks about my neighbor and the only one who knows that I'm earning some BTC are the closest one to me. My mom and my sister, so it is impossible that your neighborhood will have that kind of interest unless someone or you tell them your story.

Holding or selling bitcoin pose a risk, if you hold bitcoin, the biggest risk is if the bitcoin price suddenly drops and does not go up again, so you have to keep track of bitcoin developments so it does not happen that way.

Bitcoin holders are aiming for years, not weeks, not months. The dip and ATH of prices is nothing new to them. They are just waiting for the right time to take place because they bet on the new generation of money long time ago on how far this can go.

As history has shown us the risks always exists but,We can evoid this risks if we make right actions and if we learn more from History,I know that History is not always determinant but in this situation we can learn a lot from here.
I think,The risks associated with the price are second issue,Because the main problem is sustainability of this system and price  will depend on that,Thats a real problem,Despite the fact,I hope this problem will be solved, but it takes some time.No doubt that the future is in the hands of this system In the financial sector,What we need is just a patience,because this problems are temporary...But it is not excluded to create another coin which will have more advantages.So this means that this is a very complex issue you need daily observations.

But I want to know what the biggest risk is to hold Bitcoin?
yes for bitcoin the price is always increasing, though sometimes it decreases. though it remains the best. I think the risk of bitcoin is in loss. but to hold bitcoin in my opinion is also good. means the system uses long-term in trading. if it loses bitcoin, it also includes a big risk.

I think holding a bitcoin gives advantage and disadvantage. I would say risk is always there, in terms of money just like betting in a lottery, it may lose or win. The advantage factor is when you invest already and the value of bitcoin will increased for sure a good profit will come but the disadvantage side is when you invest and its value getting low, well you can't have any profit at all

Holding Bitcoin in future for getting more profit. But the price of Bitcoin not growing but also decreasing thousands of rate. Initially you hold it at higher price but future you sell it lower price. In the end, those who are willing to hold will always reap a big reward and we all want that

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

My view is the following. You risk all what you put into BTC. It all should be certainly risk capital what you invest, you should be able to afford to loose that money. BTC might fall to dust if other coins are taking its place, while I am very bullish on BTC I still do not consider it as a "safe bet" - the risk with any coin is very high.

Bitcoin is the currency of their boss. Investing in bitcoin is just as profitable, as is the risk.First of all risk, if your personal keys are stolen by hacking.To hold bitcoin, I'll ask you to use off-line wallet to keep bitcoin safe.Moreover, the price of bitcoin will be sold when your purchase price increases.

Investing in bitcoin in my opinion is not a strong risk. Every year bitcoin only grows. Correction, too, is, but after them it grows again. Given that now there are large injections of money int
Yeah I have not seen any risk in bitcoin currently,, as if you are having 100 bitcoin then you hold for bitcoin long time then you wait for more than one year it is sure that your money will be more than double in very short time.   It is easy and free source of making profit so bitcoin is helping thousands of people to earn and get into bitcoin this way bitcoin does not have any risk but its growth will increase your profit as fast as you want,

The risk of holding Bitcoin is that Bitcoin fluctuate a lot and if you are not the type that can absorb and decompress,  bitcoin movement can generate stress that might affect your health.  So I say weigh your options!

The risk of keeping bitcoin is minimal. I do not think that the price of bitcoin will fall. And as time shows - the price of bitcoin only grows.
