Does engaging with bitcoins put you at risk?

[meritbygrace]

Life its self is a risk. Bitcoin is a second risk.I love risk.

[Sarastiche]

Every profitable venture is globally is filled with risk, If you cannot take risk then you not ready to earn in life, Bitcoin is still emerging digital currency, several individual has earn from the currency do not be left out because of the risk involve.

[Akoldi_ibk]

If business or venture promises a smooth ride (no risk), then run. Investing in Bitcoin is risky considering it is still emerging and at infant stage. One can gain everything and still lose it all. The question I ask myself in any venture is that does the risk worth it?

[kokliko]

Many countries are worried about the consequences of bitcoin caused such as money laundering, drug trafficking ... More and more websites, forums open to entice, guide how to play, how to "dig" Bitcoin. There are websites that offer examples, successful proofs as well as "real" swap transactions from Bitcoin. However, no one can authenticate these "real" transactions in fact.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

You can compare it to dealing with cash, which everyone does. 
I guess it depends on what kind of transactions you do and with who.

That's definitely true.  PayPal just reversed one of the payments made to me for bitcoin--and it wasn't a chargeback, it was PayPal's suspicion.  Not sure what the issue was, but I don't want my PP account nuked.

I heard many of my friends say, investing in Bitcoin or cryptocurrency is like a gamble. If we are lucky, then surely we will get a lot of money from investing in them. Otherwise, we would seem to lose everything.

Yeah, yeah, it's a gamble.  So is buying stocks or artwork.

I know this thread was started by someone who needed to start a new thread for whatever reason, and I'm not sure why he's asking what he's asking--but I would say that since BTC is still associated with dark market transaction and scams, people are going to look at BTC transactions and the people who own BTC with suspicion.  Why do you think Coinbase cancels accounts associated with gambling?  Why do you think banks haven't gotten involved with bitcoin?  Why don't payment processors allow businesses to accept payment for things like kratom?  They don't want to be associated with vices, that's why.  And bitcoin is inextricably linked to them. 

There's a reputational risk at best, but I don't care.  The banks and everyone else will come around eventually.

Every transaction you have with bitcoin is risky, whether you are just transferring bitcoin or you are investing there’s a risk. So before you make move, make sure you are ready for that risk because this market is full of tricks that you must know how to solve it.

This is business, and since that bitcoin was being categorized in it, obviously there is risk involvement. Once you are investing your money on it you are risking your capital which you believed you will gain more about it due to the trust you have in the business,isn't right? Especiall, in bitcoin if you buy of course your going to hold it in a long term for believing that it will goes up in the near future, even your risking your investment for it in the time which you are not sure about it but because of trust your still doing it.

[basyang]

Yes if you want to do a successful business then you must have to take this risk and for me the best idea is to participate in this currency and many other altcoins are coming in the world which is also a good way to be in the crypto market.

Yes. Indeed. If you want to succed then you might took all the risk, its either you will learn from it or gain from it. Life is a matter of choice and opportunities. Nowadays, opportunities is there but you always afraid you take it because you think what might me the risk of those opportunities. In crypto market you need to take or hold for a moment to have a better earning because the prices of cryptocurrency is so unpredictable and you need to take a risk to wait before you gain to have a profit.

[MMysterious]

I can say that when you invest in bitcoin you're money in on risk already, Just like any other investment instrument there are no assurance that you will have a fortune or even a profit when you invest in it. The market is so volatile that you can see price manipulation of big players in the market. And also bitcoin is not regulated by any government entity so we can say that bitcoin is not legitimate yet and there's no law that can protect you from fraud and any illegal activity regarding bitcoin. So there's so much risk regarding bitcoin, but I can say that Im a believer of bitcoin and risk is essential 

[adpinbr]

engaging in bitcoin is both a honor and a responsibility.  engaging in bitcoin will somehow guide you on what businesses are like but the cons about it is that your family starts to depend on you. When I was still a student I support myself and at the same time I also support my family. it is actually burdensome but I manage to stabilize myself and be where I am right now. The stress of being independent is now gone.

Being in cryptocurrency is more or less like taking some risks. You got to be a risk taker aside everything and engage in activities with investments. You have to bear in mind that you can lose or gain in cryptocurrency.

[finlandais]

[TANGERE]

Each venture needs to take a risk.If your outlook is that on the off chance that you joined bitcoin to wind up rich then simply quit in light of the fact that it isn't so much that simple to do.Success originated from hardwork and theres no effective agent that doesnt take a risk.So everything need to go for broke to accomplished all you wanted and to be fruitful.

We, as physically and intellectually healthy individuals, strive and survive to achieve our dreams, establish our roles in the society and fulfill our needs and wants. But in order to do this, we are also required to be financially healthy. The lingering fact is that money is not achievable as a single candy you can buy in the store. Sometimes, people risk their lives and reputation just to get a handful. Bitcoins are not officially a currency that you can just see in a certain country, that are being utilized and used. So, is dealing with bitcoins and other things related to it also puts us in a risky gamble?

Of course it does knowing that you are gambling the money you are investing on something that has no assurance yet. Although that's the situation, you should not be afraid to take the risks knowing that after conquering it, great rewards are waiting that is beyond your imagination. It is natural to have risks in bitcoin and you should learn how to evade or reduce it.

No I do not think that engaging with bitcoins is risky.It is only that bitcoin is volatile and its price depends on the forces of demand and supply.Bitcoin is a money making machine and we should definitely take advantage of it.It is the best option for investment purposes in today's date as the price is rising and the users are getting good profits returns.Bitcoin is like an extra income or pocket money.If someone has bitcoin then that person can live independently as it is very expensive.

Engaging in bitcoin  is at high risk , bitcoin is the highest risk i ever take in my life i put all my salary on it still hoping to make profit

[Zero504]

the biggest risk is the crypto world does not have a level of security that can be accounted for by regulations and even law, it is very risky because all responsibility is charged only to personal management, price fluctuations are not very important because all stock businesses also apply the same, but bitcoin naturally likes to give surprise and that's the sweetest risk I know.

[nabinkhadka]

Investing in Crypto currency is very risky investment  so engaging with bitcoins will definitely put you at risk. YOU should only invest what you can loose in crypto because you can loose all your investment in short time.

Everything is at risk here, a highly volatile and unpredictable market is an
uncertainty that has always associated itself with bitcoins and cryptocurrency.
But some of the risk pays off, it's not all the time that they do. At least for a
lot of people here who has experienced the pros and cons of engaging and
investing bitcoins and cryptocurrency in general. Sometimes risk is what
pushes the boundaries in order to thrive, learn and prosper. It's more like
a leap of faith, calculated preferably.
