What are the Real Risks of Crypto?

[Dimas99]

at present the real risk that is happening especially in my country is a matter of legality and problems for price and the development has become a risk that will be obtained in its investment

[Ambers]

Cryptography and cryptocurrency is an area that is developing too fast, so in the very near future there will be various new risks about which we do not yet know anything, but this should not stop us from continuing development in this direction, because it is thanks to cryptocurrency that the entire financial world will get the opportunity to improve their quality.

Soo high fluctuacion, hack and fraud coin is some real risks in crypto market. By know the risk so we have to put money in to it that only willing to loss. In 2017 alot trader and investor became rich from crypto but in 2018 many people lossing alot of money. But i believe later crypto will give others opportunity to make many people get rich like in 2017.

There are lot of risks but they are all that are not related to the core idea of crypto but the implementation. I  mean there are scamming issue, theft issues, security issues but none of them undermine the importance and utilization of cryptos.

For me, I think the real problem of cryptocurrency is lack of regulation of ICOs. Every crypto going through an ICO should be made to undergo a compulsory regulation to ensure that it's scam free. A hell lot of investors have been scammed through ICOs. And once scammed they become skeptical about cryptocurrency.

Big risks in cryptocurrency it is an opportunity to lose all the investments. Who does not risk that does not live richly.

Many people can not see what their portfolio falls by 20-30 percent , I think they are not created to take risks, but I think those who want to make big money should invest and believe in the project!

There are always risks in the world of cryptocurrency, and they are mainly related to the fact that having sufficiently large capital you can manipulate the market, and it is impossible to predict the market movement!

[Maady]

the real risk of crypto is loss and loss if in my opinion, because there are already so many people who have experienced massive losses and lost a lot of money in my opinion

Ding Ding Sir, i comes in that "So many people" bracket. in my opinion people like me experienced massive loss because we had no knowledge whatsoever about crypto and its history, we just barge in the cyrpto with our hard earned money due to Fomo and overbought anything which makes sense to us. it was a good learning curve though. 

[HichemFetoui]

yes the greatest risk in the crypto space is the lack of education people must be very educated to know all the upcoming risks in the cryptospace you need to know it from all perspective

[FLHippy]

For me, I think the real problem of cryptocurrency is lack of regulation of ICOs. Every crypto going through an ICO should be made to undergo a compulsory regulation to ensure that it's scam free. A hell lot of investors have been scammed through ICOs. And once scammed they become skeptical about cryptocurrency.

Thats the reason why ICO concept was created and why it is so popular. Because there are no regulations, there are no limits, only free market. Investors or creators do not have to follow any regulations or legal cases  .

crypto is risky but also profitable, this depends on how we choose it. it may be true that many people who suffer losses from the world of crypto are not the reason why crypto is risky, it actually happens because they are wrong in making temporary choices what they think only wants profit and in my opinion this is the reason why crypto is at risk.

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

Gambling I guess? Some thing bad might happen if we allow ourselves to be eaten by the delightful gambling opportunities here on cryptocurrency. It might wipe out all of our hardwork.

The real risk of crypto market is its volatility. People are getting involved and are aiming to make x10 from their 1000 USD within several weeks, but they are only losing money and getting disappointed in the industry. You will reach nothing without cold blood and great research.

[sulis sudibyo]

the biggest risk is price fluctuations. the crypto market can suddenly fall and this can make everyone lose money. good news can't even stop it. and there is another risk of fraud, there are many scammers here so be careful not to trust others.

[Red_Evil]

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.

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.

Big risks in the world of cryptocurrency may be associated with the loss of money that you invested in cryptocurrency.
Also, risks can be attributed to the time that you can lose performing a bounty campaign for a very long time, and not getting anything in return.

[Thanasis]

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.

all live in this world I think has a risk. so is crypto. by having crypto assets we have fought that fear of risk. all risks can be overcome with the right car. we just need to learn how to deal with the risks that exist. we all know the risk of investing in crypto assets can make us lose our money, but we must know and look for solutions to these risks, if not then leave the crypto world.
