Is Bitcoin really risky as they say?

[taufik123]

Bitcoin is a risky investment. But the level of risk is not as high as many people may portray it to be. There is a particular time that the price of Bitcoin will be as stable as because it is consolidating but there's also a particular time within few minutes the price will skyrocket or the price would depreciate so much. So this is where the high riskness comes in. It is better that people are warned and exaggerated to than for them to treat it like nothing.
Which kind is risky and that is why it is advised to use a word" invest with what you can afford to lose. This is the best you can follow to be safe in the market.

In short, Bitcoin or cryptocurrency has a high volatility that will provide rapid price movements.
it is indeed a kind of high risk but can generate a lot of profits and losses, It is just a matter of how one does it right or not.

Lay users or those who do not know fully about Bitcoin, must be given the knowledge that the risks and profits are within reasonable limits.
Because every market has its own risks and advantages.

I even always tell new users who want to enter that Bitcoin or other crypto has a high risk, and must be followed by sufficient basic knowledge in order to avoid these risks.

Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, and as that there is absolutely no risk in it whatsoever. The problem is that some people like to treat bitcoin as something it is not, an investment. As an investment and because bitcoin price is volatile, obviously there are certain risks involved.

There is no investment without risk. Because the price movement is volatile, this makes the profits greater since the risk is great. ÷This is a rule in various types of investment.
I don't understand your opinion on why Bitcoin should not be considered as an investment. This changes nothing from the fact that it is a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. I also believe that considering Bitcoin as an investment is one of the most important factors helping to spread it and increase the adoption of its use, whether by individuals or companies that provide investment services.

Bitcoin will not be risky for you only when you are fully focused on it.It is normal that before every good thing there will be many bad things it is bad it is not good it is bad it is not good it does not go with our society etc.People with poor perceptive and evaluative skills, lack of proper understanding of digitalization, etc. will easily say that Bitcoin is a risky system.Ignore the fact that the hawk has taken his ears, put your hand in your ears and see if you have ears You can answer all those people that they were not wrong and at the end of the day you will be successful Finally I can say it is an electronic system because we can't see the electronic system, so we have a problem to distinguish it if we could see it by hand maybe it wouldn't be so much problem and here you are You can earn a lot of income by doing a lot of different things by making different investments etc. when you can do it you will feel that it was never risky Many people try to bully it as gambling etc. and give wrong advice you can invest or work here blindly I believe it as a newbie I will do it in the future because everyone I have seen is in a good position.

Bitcoin is only risky when your patience is low, your mentality is bad, you think new If you don't try to do something, if you listen to bad people, if you don't go to war, if you express your opinion about war, etc., then you have to obey.

I find it difficult to grasp the concerns surrounding Bitcoin's risk compared to other assets. If you have a deep understanding of its four-year cycle and can effectively navigate both bear and bull markets to maximize profits, you can effectively manage the associated risks. No other asset class offers such a well-defined and predictable cycle to plan for and mitigate risks.

It shouldn't be difficult to understand the risks in Bitcoin when everyone already knows about the four-year cycle in Bitcoin so it can make it a little easier for everyone to navigate certain moments through Bitcoin. Because when there are many people who want to wait for profits by relying on a four-year cycle, that means everyone has to be very prepared for risks, even though this still has to be remembered and doesn't mean it has to be forgotten.

Only for this kind of thing I seem to prefer what you say because when everyone knows how to maximize profits by waiting for a certain moment as has happened in a four-year cycle. They should no longer think about risk because they already know how to manage it well in order to achieve their ultimate goal of maximizing profits through Bitcoin.

The reason why you consider Bitcoin is an investment and the price is really volatile because you always compare Bitcoin price with fiat where the value is keep declining due to inflation. In Bitcoin it's always 1 BTC = 1 BTC as long as you're not send your coins.

But most of people are like you who think Bitcoin is an investment and interested because of making more money, since people are always look a way to make instant profit, they're started to buy Bitcoin.

Generally, most people sees Bitcoin as being of high risk , meanwhile, others tend to disagree with the fact of being risky.

It's a lie when we say that bitcoin does not have any risk at all, that means we are lying because bitcoin has its own risk, but when the importance and advantages anything has over it's demerits, we could say that such risk in it is worth going for, people preferred bitcoin in this present economy because bitcoin offers them what they want and they understood that the advantage is far bigger than the disadvantages if they invested in bitcoin.

Bitcoin can be understood from different angles on how it will become beneficial to one. Either as a store of value(So as to avoid taxes), Investment or means of payment.

Part if the interesting aspects with bitcoin adoption is that it provides different solutions to the people in many ways which serve as part of the reasons why they adopted bitcoin, some for an asset, exchage currency, investment, employability, financial freedom, privacy and trust they wanted with using a decentralized network over the centralized one.

Bitcoin is only risky when your patience is low, your mentality is bad, you think new If you don't try to do something, if you listen to bad people, if you don't go to war, if you express your opinion about war, etc., then you have to obey.

Bitcoin is less risky compared to other coins out there on crypto exchanges, but it is also very risky if you approach bitcoin investment without gaining knowledge about it before you start.

Most of the risk associated with bitcoin is related to a lack of knowledge, which results in the risks involved, which involve losing everything with a single mistake due to a lack of knowledge or understanding on how to handle your bitcoin in your wallet or the risk of leaving your bitcoin in centralized exchanges to control it for you, which you can lose if the exchange gets hacked.

[GeorgeJohn]

The only reason why bitcoin becomes risky is when you are trying to own or achieve it without the basic knowledge about bitcoin. You could have end up losing your money through scams or just by simply buying and selling at a very wrong timing, or when the market is not having a good market entry. However, if you acquire knowledge the you need before buying or investing into bitcoin, you could have done it with caution so won’t fall into its high risk of losing.

You should right with your opinion, because its obvious that you have to understand the basics things of bitcoin before investment, when you fail to learn or study the regulations of bitcoin properly and you invest, that will make you to venture into the risk which is involve in bitcoin regulations, so what I want you to know concerning bitcoin is that you most know the rules or the rudiments of bitcoin first before you kick off investment, many people who seems bitcoin as a risk are the people who lose in bitcoin and they did not comprehend how the system of bitcoin  works before venturing into it, I can blame then, but what I know in bitcoin transaction is that it needs concentration and it needs more time to study the regulations.

I tend to agree with the first opinion, but not with the second opinion.
Bitcoin is still risky because bitcoin is a fluctuating asset, but I agree that each user's risk tolerance varies.

You can never generalize everything is the same because in fact the risk of investing in bitcoin is a must. Not only will you lose the value of your investment due to price volatility, but you also have the potential to lose all your assets just because you failed to secure them. So the risks of investing in Bitcoin should not be ignored even if you are 100% sure that it is safe from all forms of threats.

Any investment involves risk because you are investing your money into it in order to make a profit, and I believe that Bitcoin is a high risk investment. Since Bitcoin is volatile, the price can rise and fall at any time, which I like because if the price does not fall, investors can buy it at a high price. Anyone who claims that Bitcoin does not include risk is deceiving people into investing in BTC, which is not the case. Before you introduce someone to Bitcoin, you must inform him of its upside and downsides. or he has not learned anything about BTC and is only hearing people talk about it, which is why it is said Bitcoin did not involve risk.

I believe there are a lot of different ways to invest your time and money, with a little work and the right teacher, one can easily invest in bitcoin.

In a case where some persons tag Bitcoin as being Risky(Yes it is), I have experience losses because I lacked those vital principles one should understand even before investing. Also knowing when to sale out my investments for profit, permit me to say more of a paper hand(panick and sell when price is down) and this should not be encouraged.

This forum has helped me very extensively on different levels, knowing when to buy, how to buy and wallet much safer to store my investments.
Being on this forum has helped me a lot I now know how not to fall for scams and by foolishly Linking my investment wallet for Airdrops or giveaways.

We live in a wonderful time when, having knowledge, you only need Internet access to earn money, also withdraw it from the exchange. You can even order an online card and order clothes and food for yourself at home. Isn't that amazing? Therefore, I agree with the author of the topic. Of course, with all the knowledge, you also need to be very careful, because you can fall into the trap of hackers. I considered myself cautious and knowledgeable, until in 2019, part of my deposit was stolen from my Jaxx wallet. My friends were amazed - they knew that this wallet is not reliable. Aot I didn't know. In cryptocurrency, such "lessons" are expensive. But the main thing is not to be upset, but to continue saving and studying.

Bitcoin is risky but if it is well understood it is something the risk in it can be managed. The best way to avoid the risk in bitcoin is not to be fast to invest or trade when their is no understanding about Bitcoin. Going into bitcoin investment without knowledge is very risky that can lead to losing all the money that was invested.  The risk in bitcoin is not just about bitcoin,  also investing without having knowledge about wallet and security of wallet and scams is also risky,  these are things beginners needs to know before going into investing. When their is lack of information and knowledge this is when bitcoin becomes so risky.

Bitcoin can be considered as 'anything' by the owner of the coins, either a hedge, a currency or an investment, but the creator of Bitcoin designed it to be electronic cash, i don't think speculation was on Satoshi's mind when he created Bitcoin, so it isn't wrong if one says that Bitcoin should be identified solely as electronic cash in their opinion.

Having said that, Bitcoin doesn't have to serve only a singular purpose, since people have found other use cases for the coin, and all of them together has helped it grow to this level, then i can have no complaint. Bitcoin can be a currency, investment, hedge and many more, thus it is up to the individual to see/use it how they want.

First we would have to see what we mean by risk, but in a general way we can say that yes, it has risk because it is a volatile asset. Then there are things that have more or less risk. For example, trading Bitcoin has more risk than investing in the long term. And if you add leverage even more risk. Although it can also be more profitable. In the same way that buying fixed income has less risk and at the same time is potentially less profitable than buying shares of a small cap.

I would recommend the OP to educate himself about economics and finance and learn about risk management.

This is a rather vague definition from which it is impossible to establish how competent their opinion looks in relation to bitcoin. Will you listen to the opinion of a novice who claims that Bitcoin is dangerous because he lost his savings trading futures with a leverage of X100? Or you can listen to the opinion of another about how he bought BTC 10 years ago and now thanks to this he is a millionaire.

The problem is that some people like to treat bitcoin as something it is not, an investment. As an investment and because bitcoin price is volatile, obviously there are certain risks involved.

I don't understand what you mean by saying that bitcoin has no risks. I always place bitcoin as a high-risk investment, this is because the price of bitcoin is too volatile. I don't dare to put a lot of money in bitcoin, I just keep money that I don't really need, because if I need money when the bitcoin price drops, then I will lose big.

I try to divide my investments, I provide cash for living needs, safe investments I choose gold because I can sell it at any time, and bitcoin, on bitcoin I plan to hold for a long time

Even with the false definition as an investment, whether we can call it risky or not depends on the situation and what you do. For example during a bull run the risks are a lot lower compared to the sideways market where things are uncertain.
It also depends on what money you are investing. For example if you are borrowing money (or generally money that you can't afford to lose) to invest in bitcoin, then the risks are extremely high.

I don't think your explanation proves that bitcoin investment has no risk

No investment is without risk. practically all investments have some level of risk depending on how robust or weak the structure of the investment is. Because of the volatility of crypto, bitcoin is thought to be a risky investment. Those who dispute that reality view Bitcoin as a get-rich-quick scheme, which is not to be so.

Many people have benefited from the forum's knowledge about crypto. Many of us have improved ourselves with understanding of crypto, thanks to this forum. We have all benefited greatly from this forum, and we continue to learn new things from her every day, including how to protect our finances, avoid scams, and only invest with money we can afford to lose.

[Frankolala]

Bitcoin isn't risky because it was created to ba an alternative to fiat currency. People took the advantage of bitcoin potential and made it an investment,and don't forget that there is no investment without risk.

Greed is what makes people say bitcoin is risky because they want to get rich overnight and this makes them think that bitcoin is the only solution. They forget that bitcoin is a volatile assets and investing in it should be a long term investment,rather they use the money that they loan or for something important to invest in bitcoin and needs profit overnight. When the price goes below what they bought,they will panic and sell off because they thought that the price will only be pumping.

Is really clear and you should know that Bitcoin it self is a risk and everything in life is all about risk, nothing comes that easy. When you engage in investing never forget the down side of it.
And don't let anyone tell you that investing in Bitcoin doesn't involve risk.

Being in this Forum has taught so many users how roll their dice 🎲 when it comes to investing and trading too.
I know a member who's happy to be in this Forum, so much loss whenever he tries to invest, scammers also gained from him not until he found himself here.
Being here doesn't mean we're not surrounded by scammers, we just have to be careful and believe me you came to the right place to achieve something greater.
Like you said, knowledge is wealth, I'll say Knowledge is power.

It is high risk when you do not understand what you are doing and the risk that is in it. Knowing the risk reduces the risk by half, not knowing the risk makes it riskier. Bitcoin is high risk when you do not know how to secure your bitcoins after investment. People have complained of how their bitcoins was stolen or lost, and it can all happen due to one very silly mistake or knowledge that you do not have. If you have invested in bitcoins and you are a member of this forum, have of your problems have been solved, because there is always a new discussion about an old security risk or a new one.
