What are the Real Risks of Crypto?

[liuqi]

The real risks of cryptocurrencies is that when you are investing in them you stand the risk of losing your money when the coins ends up failing and getting delisted, the market is very volatile so there is a lot of ways you will lose your money as the coins can fall in value. Mostly there is no much risks if you are investing in already established coins

Your thought was acceptable and Bitcoin is risk free cryptocurrency so this will be perfectly match for long term investment. All the crypto hunters have some Bitcoin because everyone know this potential so I strongly recommend to Bitcoin in all the scenario. The current market is really bleeding so this is the best time for Bitcoin investment.

The real risk is that there are countless scams now. It's hard to tell if they are real or a scam. If you are a little careless, you will fall into the scam trap. This is the biggest problem with crypto.
In addition, the current ICO can hardly make you get any return, they often go down the market and fall soon.

2018 is very inconvenient in terms of investing in ICO projects. Many such projects collect large amounts, but their announced project is not in demand and usually the token does not come at the price that was claimed. Very difficult period

[Awoben]

Real risk in Crypto are loss of funds which is the general one, most delicate one it identity thief through the kyc we pass through, most of the identities stolen are used for fraud. Which in one way can affect ones day to day activities.

Yes, a lot depends on the user on his experience in this cryptocurrency market and most likely on his greed. Some people do not even think buying some kind of coin in the hope of making a lot of money there and forget about the big risks. The technology also depends a little on its security from hacker attacks, for example, 51% and so on. And from the very developer of the coins, too, he can at any moment throw all his coins into the market and then the price will collapse.

The real risk in the world of crypto currencies is to invest without doing research. you'll lose all of your money at once. Because the crypto exchange is full of surprises. investors should be constantly cautious.

[labuan]

for me the real risk of cryptocurrency is a scam of the coin. Many ICO and many coin are scam, and the team is not work on the company. that's why i always invest my money on the best Coin.

[Magkirap]

It will always be the user and not the technology. The lack of knowledge and understanding is really what drives the risks in any kind of industry. Let us have an anology: for instance you would want to learn how to drive a motorbike the risk of being in an accident is not to be blamed to the bike but rather your knowledge and experience on how to drive it.

Lack of knowledge about investment in cryptocurrency is the things that we need to avoid because it will bring you a huge loses. The real risks in cryptocurrency is the unstable and volatile market which the price always change and there are time that the market will totally down or up.

[batang_bitcoin]

I think that the real risks of crypto are connected with the fact that not all people accept crypto still considering it the one that you can't rely on. to my mind, it is better to avoid risks and keep coins

This isn't a real risk at all.

You think that slow adoption means a risk? no it's not a risk but its a problem that we have to deal with. But this problem will soon have its own resolution as day after day there are more people that are coming in and starts to get interested with crypto's.

[kipozer]

All the risks that you know are present in cryptocurrencies, it's no longer a secret that today cryptocurrency is a high-risk project, which in most cases obliges you to evaluate risks before you invest in anything.

[maculeth]

the real risk is when a wallet is hacked and the balance disappears. because we cannot report to the authorities or the government about the theft. the second is the fluctuating price, but I think the risk is already being experienced by crypto users.

[St4yInTh3D4rk]

The real risk of the crypto is the scammers,lot of people using the anonymity of crypto currencies to scam to people in many ways like creating a scam ICO with fake team or by creating fake wallets or exchanges and sometimes scamming the people without paying the money to them.

Personally, my opinion is as follows. In our turbulent times, there is always a risk, especially when it comes to some kind of investment. And if we are engaged in cryptocurrency, then our earnings depend on the price of some kind of cryptocurrency in the market. And in this case, we can only observe and do small calculations for ourselves so as not to burn out when the price can fall very low down. You need to be always ready to save or increase your investments.

Potential investors should be aware that this is a very speculative instrument. In addition, cryptocurrencies have a number of vulnerabilities. There are cases when hackers received unauthorized access to digital wallets and crypto-currency exchanges. Thus, in 2016, investors ' funds worth more than $ 50 million were stolen from the Fund called DAO.
In addition, the cryptocurrency market is incredibly volatile. The said DAO hack led to a sharp drop in the price of Ethereum. Such events are extremely difficult to predict, and in order to avoid significant losses, the investor must constantly keep abreast of the relevant cryptocurrency community. Therefore, it is necessary to approach the issue of investment very carefully

Risk is the internal character in any business. I don't think ban is the main problem for cryptocurrencies, rather technological advancement can be a problem for crypto if better technology is seen in the upcoming days.

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.

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

When the use of a thing is not known or when knowledge is is lost, then misuse is inevitable. One of the problems we have as humans is that we sometimes refuse to learn some things that would add value to us and that will be beneficial to us in future.
Most of the mistakes we make as users or humans could have been avoided had it been we had taken our time to learn the right things at the right time.

[irsykes]

It is crypto's volatile, well actually who make some countries not legalize crypto, one reason what cause it is crypto's volatile and a lot speculation. But if price only stable, market will only have low volume and it will not good circulated.

Real risk would most likely be included on all sorts when it comes to investment. Lack of knowledge, prone to scams and swindlers, prone to hackers and more. These are the real risk and so as with
trading risk too where crypto prices are way too volatile which causes for you to lose up money instead of gaining. Risk can somehow be managed or be lessen by way of experience and gaining knowledge
gradually about on what you are engaging.

everything related to investment in real life or cryptocurrency certainly has a very high risk. crypto's real risk itself is that it is very vulnerable to fraud because there are many people who want to get profits quickly and easily by making fake projects with teams that don't have a clear reputation

[Viklopot]

investing in crypto currency has a great risk and to reduce it you need to get as much as possible different knowledge about the crypto currency
