What are the Real Risks of Crypto?

[Kryten12]

I would say that the major risks of crypto are in legitimacy issues of rougue tokens, and of obsolecence caused by superior competitive currencies doing what your initial coin did only better. The volatile nature means that as well as generating large fast profits in a bill run they can also drop in value by up to 99% at times also.

In my opinion, the real risk of crypto is when participants are not ready for knowledge, experience and hasty decisions. In addition, market volatility is also a factor for risk ...

Of course there is a risk, which is definitely going up and down, that will certainly happen in the world of cryptocurrency and that is one of the risks, still be wise whatever it is

The risk of holding less quality coin is that you get the value of your coin depleted over time.  And you can also be stuck on a coin for sometime because it take development for a coin to gain value!

But the most important risk in this market is the price drop, the risk of falling prices can make us wobble and lose our minds, make decisions that are lacking in wisdom, so in my opinion So worry, consider before deciding to invest in cryptography.

No risk no gain bro. Nothing can achieve without taking the risk. Falling price, hackers, and scammer as well are the worst risk in crypto but you want to be the gainer then you must overcome this risk. You must be serious about your assets and wallets security if you do them carefully then you can shine here.

      The crypto market involves the same risks as gambling. You can become richer or poorer. The difference between the crypto market and gambling is that the crypto market is very likely to make huge profits and lower chances to lose. The downside is that for profits in the crypto market, you have to wait longer, being long-term investments. Other risks of the crypto market are related to user security. There are people who lose their private keys and can no longer connect to their wallets and lose their money. Another risk is given by trading errors on different platforms.

The risk of getting looted to scammed is the biggest one. Most of the time people loosing their money in the scam projects only. Otherwise just look at the market, the bitcoin itself is very stable as compared to other crypto coins or at least it has the potential to recover itself whenever there is worst dump that comes up front. So we can rely on it and there is very much less risk involved as compared to other coins.
The risk is only in terms of altcoins. With ever changing crypto related regulations it is now getting hard for investors to believe in some projects which do not follow them and may get ceased, shut down and much more. Basically lots of risks according to situations.

The real risk of crypto for me and many newbies is the constant and stealthy scams of the scammers. We lack a lot of experience in this business, which is good for scammers, so we are taking the bitcointalk to understand more about them.

The investment of encryption is the human factor. We will judge whether the project is good or bad according to our instinct. And then invest. Human emotions play a very important role in this. People's emotions completely affect investment decisions. So we must learn more about encrypt knowledge. Keep yourself awake to the project.

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.

There are many risks in crypto. Our wallet, computer and exchanges could be hacked. Crypto value is not stable and we could lose funds, especially when we hold non quality coins. About investment, there are too much scam project and we will lost funds if invest in those scams.

The risk is to do with humans investing in good and bad projects as they will be doing so to make money, but also technology will be a problem as we are a decade away from quantum computing and most are not yet quantum resistant

[Sissebrahima]

The cryptocurrency user is in constant fear of losing money from the actions of fraudsters. The safety of the participant depends on itself. Another risk and fear is that government laws can be introduced that limit or prohibit the conduct of work in cryptography.

[loveinberlin]

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

[azisjz4]

Cryptocurrencies have a high risk because there is no guarantee that we will benefit in the future after we invest, simply speaking we can be richer than before, or can be poorer than before. I agree, with the opinion that the biggest risk is to the user, if we don't know and have good knowledge about crypto it will be very risky, and other risks from crypto are that we don't know exactly what transactions we do with, and what kind of person we are connected to

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
