The Risks and Rewards of Cryptocurrencies

[ajaymukund]

BBC recently did a interview around the volatility of cryptocurrencies. I think we are still so early in this industry but I would love to know your thoughts about where we are going and how you think the landscape will change.

People in the podcast include:

Marc Warne, Founder, Bittylicious
Jemima Kelly, reporter, FT Alphaville
Dave Jevans, CEO, CipherTrace

In my opinion, our year 2019 will not change much, the price of Bitcoin will fluctuate around $ 8000k - $ 6k5. This is considered a time of accumulation for many major investors. they are buying more bitcoins, the strategy is still the same as in 2018. when the whales deliberately pushed the price of bitcoin to $ 3k3, it was also the time that they bought more bitcoin. We can predict a very beautiful future of Bitcoin in 2020, its price could rise to $ 20k. how do you think ?

in my opinion, risks and rewards in crypto are things that will be in trading or investing in crypto, because volatile crypto prices cannot guarantee good luck will always be with us, so we must be prepared with whatever happens

I agree, we don't expect what gonna happen if we take a huge risk investing and take big rewards. the market is very unpredictable and as of now the price is very bad and everyone is in panic mode. I can't say that this month is good or not but you can accumulate if you want to take a risk. for me if possible we may take a hard time to read all what we need to know to avoid big loosest.

It's needed to have more knowledge regarding to this venture of investment, you need to make sure that you are willing to take the risk and prepare yourself for the bigger picture. Time will come and the value will surge up again. But while everyone are on the panic mode make sure to have a good funds to accumulate more cheap coins and wait for another bounce up.

Risk of cryptocurrency when price of bitcoin or altcoin have lower and we bu with higher price, many investor and trader always allowing with what people said and they investing with coin suggestion by the other, when you buy some coin by recommendation from some one you make mistake because he has sell his coin and make you buy it.

Well that's what happen most of the time but I'm sure that there are some good advices coming from other professionals which usually are paid advice however following someone else's suggestion is the same as letting other decide whether your money will grow or opposite and people with right mind will never do that.
If you want some suggestion try to seek professionals with no motives otherwise it's basically the same thing.

It happens for a very natural reason, market is speculative. Seeking professional's help is a way of making your decision based on what the other's view on the market which I totally not recommend. Another thing is, one's view depends on the experience and affordability to lose, I bet these professionals had also lost and already have an idea what the market could be which everyone would not uderstand.

If you want some suggestion try to seek professionals with no motives otherwise it's basically the same thing.

I don't see professional people here, imo, just experienced ones. Not talking about the financial advisors though. Seeking professionals with no motives? what do you mean by that?

This is a great opportunity the price is having problems moving up and after it reached 7500 it began to go down once again and now we are at 7200, the price is moving in a very tight range so anyone that is looking to get bitcoin for a fair price has an opportunity that may not last long, personally I think the price could go even lower but nothing like what we saw one year ago so in my case I am holding off buying more bitcoin until we reach the absolute bottom.

Risks are always in cryptocurrency and what is said in the video confirms this.

It is not just the case with crypto currencies. There is no investment market in the world which is free from risks. We all know that people are aware of the risk they have in any market and invest accordingly. If we talk about estate market, at times the taxes increase and people stop buying selling properties which ultimately result in losses. Crypto is not an exception to this risk thing. Every business has risk.

Do you want people to put on headsets and listen to this podcast for 28:33 minutes? why would people do that? I think you should listen to the podcast and then summarize what they said and post in this thread the summary you made

I would love to know your thoughts about where we are going and how you think the landscape will change.

if enter a lot of money in the crypto market, I believe that the volatility will not be very high as it is today, at least we will not see high increases and followed by very large falls

The volatility of prices in Crypto market can not be reduce by this money thing you said. The market might increase with this but later, it will balance and the fluctuation will begin again. The best to do is just to still invest at the right time so that you could gain. The market will always be volatile.

[slashz9]

just listen to what is necessary, it is not possible that everyone will listen even though there is a name experienced in the crypto world.
I don't really agree with this, it's like they indirectly ordered us what they said.
for me arghh it's very annoying.
none of them knows for sure how crypto will develop, this is just my description, no offense.

People will never be satisfied with the stability of crypto currencies because they were attracted to it because of its volatile nature. This is the reason why this market appeared unique to rest of the regular investment markets. If there would have been any way of making this market stable, people would have already done so. I personally feel that whales would not let it happen by any means.

[bdivrik]

Gaining experience in this market means a lot. You may not be able to predict the movement of prices. But you need to learn some habits. For example, the price that has gone too high is surely making a comeback. You can calculate at what rate this will happen.

[criza]

volatility is product of pure manipulation which people call pump and dump

It is also because of the number of its supply and demand that makes its price high or low. Supply and demand for me is always opposite at each other, when there is an increase in supply there would be decrease in demand and if theres is a decrease in supply there would be an increase in demand. Take for example in the normal market wherin it is time for holidays like Christmas and the demand for good and services are high so it would mean that the supply would definitely decrease and the price would be high or would pump drastically.

I for one don't think it is so much about volatility itself

On regular markets you can get comparable volatility as there are a multitude of investment instruments that are specifically designed to be volatile (for example, so-called volatility indexes, abbreviated as VIX). The difference between regular markets with their volatility tracking indexes and cryptocurrencies is twofold, and neither aspect or factor has anything to do with volatility as such

First of all, cryptomarkets are easily available to regular folks which is not the case with regular markets (the ironic pun seems to be inevitable here). And then, the instruments that such markets offer have a rather short life span as they quickly expire forcing you to liquidate, no matter whether you are in the red or in the green. With crypto, you can just sit on your hands and patiently wait out the bad times (not always helps, but the option is available at all times anyway)

There are a lot of possibilities we should have to think with regards om cryptocurrencies. We should think about the supply and demand of our economy because it helps to decide on how our economic growth been stable in it's status.There are many possible ways on how we should be satisfied on our income and daily earnings because of working online. Like, having a stable and concrete investement in some particular currency that will help you a lot with regards in your money.Gaining more knowledge is the best way on how you will get more rewards and stay away from possible risk in our way on achieving our goals in life.We should be wise on our decisions and make our life better with the help of our prior knowledge.

There is problem with this evaluation, if there is a decrease is supply mean you cannot expect a demand especially because the demand depends upon the coin, if you take ETH do you have an idea about the total circulation and still the price is above $100, when it comes to bitcoin the amount of coins that can be mined will be reduced by halving and it will have an impact on the market and that is what is expected and hence the price will increase and that is the idea behind halving when Satoshi introduced and if you follow his path then we expect the market to move higher after halving.

Of course, it would be nice for the supply of coins in the cryptocurrency market to decrease and then Bitcoin's performance would improve several times, but how to create such a situation is not known.  So far, speculators manipulate the cryptocurrency market in this way, regulating the amount of bitcoin in the market and getting exactly the price that is beneficial for them to buy or to sell.

many hope that by halving the amount of bitcoin, it will increase the price, let alone coupled with increased demand. and for its global effect all altcoins will follow suit, as happened in 2017. and that is what is expected of crypto holders, this will have a positive impact on the recovery of people's trust in cryptocurrency

[monineklutak]

of course the risks and rewards that users will get will be comparable,
when you get a lot of prizes then you will also lose a lot, this is like a natural law

[Argoo]

What do you expect from a speculative asset? Of course there will be volatility and we can't simply escape that. Right now is just an example, reaching as high as $13800 on some exchanges and now down to $9800. You do the math as how much it drop? Just two days ago it was around $13200, and now below 5 digits again, so talking about volatility. 

I agree with that, to be honest when you are talking about risks and rewards most of the time here, we will encounter much more risks and failures rather than rewards, and as what they have said what do you expect? Bitcoin-sphere is a free platform wherein foreign people are free to join, invest and trade here which we don't know if all of the transactions were done legitimately and I can say ome of the things that put us to risk, scams.

The high price volatility of cryptocurrency is one of the features of this market and you need to get used to it, since the high volatility of a decentralized cryptocurrency will not disappear. It is also the instability of cryptocurrency in the price that attracts investors and traders. The high price volatility of the cryptocurrency must be used to make a profit, but for this you need to know the cryptocurrency market well.

It is the reason why we should identify both rewards and the risks before we make investment. I only take a risky investment if the rewards is greater than risk. We should also know how to compute risk and rewards ratio in order for us to be aware if the investment is worth taking or it is just a shit investment that can make our portfolio to become full of losses.
