Finra Alert says bitcoin more than a bit risky

[TERA]

Wow Bitcoin is a high risk investment? Who would have known? You don't say? Surely nobody will invest now.

you didn't answer the existential question. you only have x number of waking moments in your life. why do you waste them with relentless negative trolling here?

at least fonzie seems sort of young and stupid. my guess is your days are more numbered.  tick tock, my friend.

That's my decision how I use my time. Some people see it as good use of time to cheer mindlessly about bitcoin, but I use my time to bring them back to earth.
I think that it's better when illusions break sooner then later. I actually see that I'm doing a good thing here by warning people about the dangers they are involved in.

It's healthy to have opposing views on here. If you strongly disagree with someone it is still a good idea to take in their ideas and analyse them and their reasoning.

Obviously when someone is emotionally invested in an opinion it will be very hard to change them, facts or no facts, but healthy all the same to have differing opinions.

I agree. The truth mostly comes form the balance of different opinions.

I'm a believer in crypto but I'm not delusional either that a lot of early big stake BTC holders probably ARE criminals or at the least dabbled in small level black market sales, I don't know why people get emotional about pointing that out, it's completely fair to say Las Vegas was built by mobsters. However such elements can be weeded out over time when the general public buys in.

I think people are smart enough that they can make their own decisions. Most people who lose simply lacked the facts.

Rather than warning people about Bitcoin, which in itself is extremely safe; perhaps they should narrow the list down a bit and warn people about specifics while reinforcing safe practices. Mainly proper security, common mistakes, known bad actors, international wire transfers, etc...

These warnings aren't productive because everybody knows that there are two sides to the story with only one being mentioned...

Bitcoin isn't going anywhere. It's not going to fall to zero unless SHA-2 is cracked.

"Warning: alert on life! Living is "more than a bit risky." The alert was intended to caution unborn children about the risks inherent in living. This includes risks from eating and breathing, the alert says. The move came after the death of a living human in late February, who died for no good reason, apparently they lost the ability to live. "Life is not safe, if you choose to live, we can't protect you from death" the alert said, which also warned about the lack of safeguards in place for living people, the irreversibility of death, and its association with scary things. It's safer to avoid living under any circumstances."
