     One of the factor that scare other from investing into Bitcoin is that it is not legalized by some countries and not acceptable . Bitcoin is not a commodity or currency so people scare to invest in Bitcoin . Since Bitcoin is a decentralized in nature no third party is involved in it. The identity of the seller or buyer is not revealed and it is a peer to peer deal so people fear to invest in it. The lack of awareness is one of the factor that scare people.
Several factors inflecting people to enter and invest bitcoin in crypto currency, like being a decentralized system they afraid of losing their assets because there ia no third party involve and bitcoib main engine is an internet and people think that it is risky to be hacked, but if they only understand about blockchain system and the bitcoin they will build self confidence of using bitcoin such that it was the direction of world technology or we like it or not crypto currency will be our future form of universal currency.

among the factors causing people to be afraid to invest in bitcoin. because bitcoin prices are not as stable as to make people afraid to invest in bitcoin.
let alone anyone say that bitcoin prices such as soap bubbles with time lapse will be lost and not worth anymore .therefore bitcoins should be able to prove to them that bitcoin prices are not like soap bubbles. .

I think people have a particular fear before investing in bitcoin. I think the biggest worry of many investors before deciding to invest in bitcoin is unstable profit and the big threat from the hacker. So few investors agreed to take the risk to make a profit from bitcoin.
Not all investors are brave in terms of investing. Some investor's are not decided to invest in bitcoin cause the value is unstable they cannot take the risk and the big threat from the hacker they have fear because of this. But some investors are willing to earn in bitcoin no matter what happen they are accepted all the risk to make from there investment.

Some factors may be the that people are afraid of the security issues pertaining to it and also they think their monies are going to be stolen when they invest into it.

One of the factors that scare others is its legality for bitcoin is not used world wide infact there are still countries that banned the use of bitcoin. Also they are scared to be scammed as we all know that scammers are everywhere and even in bitcoin there are people will do anything for easy money.

I think the biggest factor is is volatile nature. Specially when the price falls ofcourse as it can cause loss of investment for us. Nobody wants to loose their investment right? There is no guarantee in bitcoin,

There are several of them. One is that Btc is not legalised and so those who fear to take risks will always runaway way from it. Others also run away because of lack of knowledge about the whole thing and so there have fear to invest

The number one factor is Bitcoin's volatility. When you introduce bitcoin to a new person, you're gonna tell them the positive sides before the negative one. You got their interest at first but when you're gonna tell them the negative side, look at their disappointed faces. Because all of us here should take the risk of losing. They must know that being included in the cryptoworld isn't easy as they think. There are times that you need to hold and wait, there are times you win, and there are times that you'll lose but it depends on the situation. This is only one factor that scares most of us, especially the newbies or the beginners.

A large number of people just do not fully understand what is the bitcoin and the world of crypto-currency in general. I do not see anything strange in the fact that many people stop it. Moreover, even those who know and are well versed in all this, very often carefully consider all the details before investing in bitcoin or other crypto currency.

Most people are scared by their own unfamiliarity or ignorance of Bitcoin. While there are others who are saying that the main reason why other people are scared investing into Bitcoin is the fact that it is considered a bubble to some, I would say they are scared because they do not know the real deal of Bitcoin. If only these people will try to understand Bitcoin better, they would not be this easily swayed.

One of the factors that make others afraid to invest bitcoin because of lack of understanding and awareness,it may be one of the reason people do not invest in bitcoin,they believe media stories about bitcoin prices are down,bitcoins are unacceptable to a country and more media about bitcoin dificiency.They do not do their own research and try to understand what bitcoin is and how bitcoin work.

There are many factors, one of which is the afraid of being scammed, or lets say we are not being paid after our work in joining bounties and airdrops. And also being hacked, our account is prone of hacking that we may lose what we earn.

Most people here in the Philippines who doesn't have prior knowledge to bitcoin think that bitcoin is a scam and very risky. It is because of the ponzi schemes that dragged bitcoin into negative news in TV.

The biggest scare factor can be the legal status of Bitcoin. Even now, Bitcoin is not fully legal in 90% of the nations. Only in a few nations such as Japan, Germany and Singapore it is legal.

Because bitcoin is currently an investment. Currently not money. The average person who usually buys money with money can not use bitcoin because it is harder to get than the local fiat. If the employer pays it in bitcoin, then bitcoin will be used to pay for the items it needs.

I think the factor that causes people to invest the bitcoin is because with the disadvantage of bitcoin for now being down if the people investing now will definitely get the loss, but I myself do not think like that even I should.

Probably the volatility(the ups and downs of the price) and the security of bitcoin. Well, nobody in this world wanted to put their money to waste. If they invested on something that is not secured, then they're just wasting their time right? It means that people needed a secured profit by investing.
