What are the Real Risks of Crypto?

[MirclIX]

I think the main risk in the cryptocurrency market is primarily the risk of losing investments.
Players can invest a lot of money in the coins of interest and in the end, after a long time, get almost nothing.
This may occur due to the high volatility of the market in the making.

Cryptocurrency is not always extremely risk free, as stock market. I know a one person who invested 20 thousands but those coin price 2000 only.

The risks are of course high and who bought bitcoin above 19000 , it is definitely now the majority of people in the red , but I think that if you buy cryptocurrency you should not wait for growth now , wait for it after 2019!

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

Risks are part of cryptocurrency. You can reduce them if you will study this market well and in detail. The deeper your knowledge becomes, the better Analytics you will do before buying coins or investing in ICO.

One major risk is the risk of getting scammed out of all your money. If you don't take care and be very vigilant, people will dubiously take away all that you've earned. That is why people keep.on warning others to be careful when you enter into cryptocurrencies because the regulation issues are still developing and it'll take time to fully understand the mischievous scammers.

The bigger risk in cryptocurrency is when the coins get drop too deep, and the coins have no price at all, or the project has discontinued and stopped the project in the middle of the phase. I see it's happening in many coins and the coins suddenly have crashed and cannot survive, and in the end, the coins are getting down to the bottom. But as long as we can buy and hold profitable coins, I am sure we can minimize the risk, and even we can make a lot of profit from the coins we have.

The real risks are that the market is very unpredictable and nobody can say what would happen tomorrow. Moreover, the market is very volatile and it can increase the price of any altcoin by 200 percent and decrease it by 500 percent within a night.

Real risks are that exchanges and wallets are being hacked. Fraud is everywhere. Moreover, there's still a bearish trend, and it's a real risk for new investments, including investments in cryptocurrencies!

[laredo7mm]

The real risk of cryptocurrency is losing money from our investment and also if we experience hacking our assets are likely to be lost. so in my opinion right now we really have to be careful in storing or investing

As far as I know, crypto risk is actually a loss caused by a decrease in crypto prices, which we all know that crypto prices are unstable where they can drop sharply anytime and can also rise quickly. Besides that security is also a real crypto risk that is prone to theft, which can be detrimental to crypto owners, which we all also know that there is no security guarantee given to crypto owners in the event of theft.

Investing in cryptocurrency is just like gambling as what others had specified. You agreed on something that is very risky but if found out to be successful then one will be able to bring good profit. Probably this because the crypto has high risk especially to the newbies. The real risk of crypto is the market price movement. It will make a 90-100% market price fluctuation and you will not going to like when one day you will be able to see your investment goes down to 60% more but it could also mean that it could grow also to more than 60% or even doubled or trippled.

It's all there is a risk, hacking is indeed the most interesting issue now because when there is hacking on an exchange or wallet it can make the situation very chaotic. the price of digital currencies can experience a very significant decline, which is why security issues are very vital. In the era of digital currencies, security needs to be highly considered. it will greatly affect the situation and when all systems are secure, the situation and conditions of the digital currency will also be increasingly more stable.

The real risk is you can lose more money. I understand why ither people are afraid to invest becaude they did not want to lose their  capital. But better for us not always focus on the risk let's be positive always like seeing the benefits of having cryptocoins and being psrt of cryptoworld. Risk is anywhere or any investment you cannot avoid that even you do something.

[Sadlife]

Of course in every investment there are risk like losing value of the crypto that you've invested in and turning out to be scam especially in this bear cycle. I advice to carefully plan through where you wanna put your money into, cause this cycle is the weeding of shitcoins. Be sure to throughly research the project that it has real use in commerce, transactions or business not just for speculation.

[raidarksword]

Any investments involve money is always been a risk and no exception for crypto currency because of the volatility of the prices in the market and doesn't guarantee a sure profit. Not all crypto investments are legit and there some scam ico projects that were popping out last year and that's the reasons why some investors are now doubting ICOs and because of that it suffered a great lose in the market. So, it's best to invest what you can afford to lose.

[Peanyut991]

I think the risk of cryptocurrency is a fluctuating price (unstable). Maybe if you take profit from it then the results will be good for you, but what if the opposite? But I think cryptocurrency will remain a payment system for humans in the future.

[James678]

Have you ever lost your whole deposit? I did and it shows risks of crypto currency. So if you don't know real risks of crypto, you haven't been in crypto for a long time.
I suggest you to explore all possible risks prior to invest

[stefany101]

The real risks of cryptocurrencies are it's users. If the people who uses crypto as a payment for their social or virtual transactions are lacking some enough knowledge to trade or manage their portfolio, there is a chance that the price of some coin/s they are holding will decreased in terms of price. In this case, it is better to hold and wait than doing risky moves or decisions.

If you are talking about Cryptocurrency investments then the money you have invested is risky. If you keep large amount of cryptos in exchange them there is always a risk of being theft. Some cryptos aren't safe for 51% attack like ethereum classic etc.

[magnum cyber]

the main risk is of course material losses and then followed by time losses, one thing that is certain is if you want high profits then you also have to be prepared to face high risk

yes because Crypto is clearly a lot of risk that occurs because each choice has risks and you must be able to avoid risk or fight risk.
good time is not used properly and that is your risk, because it can make you lose not doing at a good time. risk occurs when not choosing a good choice between choices, knowledge is very necessary to start a business if you do not have the knowledge and experience you can be exposed to the risks that can befall you. there are still many other risks that occur because of small things or big things, so you have to be more careful.

that's just one of the crypto risks because there are actually many other real risks, for example, failing to invest in ICO because many ICOs fail around 70% more, and many even just cheat.

Information is key to power and success in life, which cash be gotten through education.
The way some people conduct themselves in the crypto space or the way projects are being handled sometimes, shows how much some people know.
Some people invest in a project or participate in bounty, because they see others do the same and not because they know about it.
When you know something, you get the maximum from it.
