[10c]

because what we invest has no real form and we don't know the background of the people we have to trust to invest so that's what makes cryptocurrency very risky.

cryptocurrency is now a very risky asset because it is not a regulated market and it is extremely volatile

The risk is that crypto currencies might lose its value when there is no demand and no one can assure that crypto will be used by people in the future as well since it can't be accepted as means of payment anywhere in the world but no other risk because its completely safe,no one can steal your funds without private keys and you no need to ask permission from banks to send payment anywhere in this world.

We all need to understand that cryptocurrency will be accepted as payment tool in 5-10 years absolutely everywhere. And now it is important for you to choose the right coins which can survive for 5-10 years despite the market conditions.

In any case, each investor in a cryptocurrency is in a certain risk zone. I have repeatedly convinced that companies that have shown good results in the analysis of all existing and available information may still be an unfair project.

The most obvious risk is instability. And its reason is the human factor. Somehow, only the coin grows, everyone starts to invest, but she’s booming and has fallen and everyone is selling it. Just a thirst for profit and the fear of losing everything.

I think that the most real threat is that Bitcoin may be unnecessary for people and simply die.

On what basis you can say that it will happen in 5 to 10 years,just based on hope right so you also need to be prepared if that not happened in that time.All people need to have this hope for that to become possible.

The cryptocurrency space is faced with so many twisted and corrupt practices and that makes it difficult for one to know fully the extent of risk in the industry. The obvious risk the ability of one's wallet to be hacked and every coin stolen. Even the most secured wallets could be hacked. Hacking of cryptocurrency exchange is on the rise lately and its quite worrisome.
Another obvious risk cryptocurrency Enthusiasts are exposed to, is the volatility of the market which could render one broke. The extent and urgency of the movement in price could be unpredictable.

What do you guys think are the real risks of cryptocurrencies and are there any ways of overcoming them? I've attached a good article below that covers a lot of the solutions to what people consider problematic at the moment, and it essentially says most of the risks are down to the user and not the technology (i.e. lack of education). Am interested to hear your opinions.

The interesting article: https://medium.com/@DDhopn/what-are-the-risks-of-buying-crypto-ff1c991a6c83

P.S. I am heavily involved in crypto, just keeping an open mind

One should remember about the 51% attack risks. As we understand now, this is possible enough to be always kept in mind. I still don't understand how to avoid it if we are talking about altcoins... This looks very serious.

Already there is a solution that allow to avoid 51% attack. Read about Komodo project. Also several cryptocurrency project implements that protection. Here are several of they SUQA, HUSH, etc.

I really believe that cryptocurrency has absolutely no risks and questions only about the time when its subject is the whole world.

I really believe that cryptocurrency has absolutely no risks and questions only about the time when its subject is the whole world.

But what about the risk of losing everything? After all, it is unstable. At any time, can take off or fall. This is the main risk. 

[Osamede]

The real risk of crypto to me is the possibility that a critical bug could fatally cripple a project and cause people to lose confidence on the project. The blockchain is still relatively new and we have not fully explored its shortcomings

[voxdu12]

There are many risks,  can steal all your savings, investments in cryptocurrency, you can lose everything if the project you invested in turns out to be a scam, a state ban can be, and much more, there are many risks.
The main thing to believe that none of this will happen

[bohboh]

In any type of business, there's always risks and if you are smart enough, you know a way of minimize your risk.
Cryptocurrency can make someone a wealthy person if you follow the rules and you are patient enough, you are going to be successful at the end.

All those who over the past year and a half lost a lot of money and almost certainly even part of the funds can not return, they you clearly do not agree

The main thing is we don't know how much the profit is and when did we get the profit from an investment this two things gives the tension and makes you more risky more than any other field this will be the main problem and also be the good thing in this market

[ka4ok1331]

The real risk comes when you invest your last savings. Especially when you invest in a project you don't know a thing about

[Saisher]

Some part of your articles are correct people do not really have a goal and a strategy in investing, they just want to invest because experts said so that this coin has a potential in the market,  they just go pick the coin right then and there without knowing the technology underlying it, mostly failed ICO which is just a duplicate of already existing one.

The risk for cryptocurrencies is that it hurts too many interests and there will be a lot of obstacles on the way for mass adoption. Governments and the financial sector will do everything not to lose their control over financial transactions.

[BTCreward]

Have risks cryptocurrency quite a lot, so if you have decided to invest in cryptocurrency, the first is to think as if you need it. In addition, now the market is falling down, so I do not think that it is worth investing in cryptocurrencies at the moment.
