Is Bitcoin really risky as they say?

[Adbitco]

Your knowledge on bitcoin depends your risk factors.. Lest say before venturing into bitcoin you are well aware of the risk associated with this investment so it will be better easier for you to reduce or minimize the risk with time or as you keep growing, those who focuses on the risk aspect of bitcoin never hold for long because they believed that they could lose the little profits they have made earlier and these sets of people quickly sells off when there seems to be little changes in the market without knowing is just a mere market correction.
Permits me to say that today's life or in real word scenario there is no investment that doesn't associates with risk either but the only way to reduced it is to apply the principles that governs the investments, So sincerely speaking bitcoin is not only risky but highly volatile.

[Sim_card]

It all depends on how we see bitcoin and the purpose why we bought our bitcoin. Some people thinks that trading is the best way to make profit from bitcoin and such people will end up losing their bitcoin because trading is very risky. On the other hand,if you decide to invest in a long term investment, it is very easy to hodli because it is easy and less risky compared to trading. Keeping your wallet safe from hackers and malware,and also don't allow anyone access to your seed phrase or private keys. This is only what you need to do when you are a long term holder. Why is it like that,due to bitcoin volatile nature, the price pumps and dump and this can make you run at loss when you sell at the wrong time.

All types of investment have definitely its own individual’s risk. And bitcoin being a high risk asset requires more knowledge and understanding from its buyer so he won’t end up increasing its risk itself. However, the good thing about high risky investments is that they also promise bigger amount of future profits. And bitcoin is a living proof. Moreover, if you can’t afford to buy a single bitcoin, then do the DCA and buy portion of bitcoin every time you’re capable to do it.

[bananaunana]

Yes, Bitcoin is more risk like compared to Gold and normal stocks because Bitcoin is very different.

Keep in mind it is relevant what are we comparing to Bitcoin.
But overally, Bitcoin is very volatile compared to stocks and also Gold.

All types of investment have definitely its own individual’s risk. And bitcoin being a high risk asset requires more knowledge and understanding from its buyer so he won’t end up increasing its risk itself.

Very good point.
Bitcoin is not like stock, where we don't really need education, only a bank manager.
For Bitcoin, it is very difficult to receive and we need to store it in our own wallet, where we need knowledge before doing it to avoid beginner mistakes.

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

Every investment has its own risk but the risk aspect of Bitcoin investment can be avoided or corrected if have the standard knowledge about cryptocurrency investment and risk management.
Nevertheless, those who see BTC as a high-risk investment are those who lack the perfect understanding of how to use the DCA strategy and 4-year cycle momentum to make a profit from their investment in BTC.

I think the particular set of individuals that bitcoin investment becomes risky for them are the ones that don't actually hoard or hold their coins for long and by that I mean the short term holders and traders who prefer trading and getting off some little profits to their portfolio instead of steadily buying and holding for bitcoin price to actually get high. And also bitcoin investment becomes really risky when you lack proper knowledge of the basic concept of the technology behind it too.

You have a point about the Bitcoin investment only being risky for people who lack the basic concept of the technology behind BTC but holding for the long term and knowing the basic concept of BTC technology is still not enough for the investors to avoid the risk because no matter how knowledgeable or long term holding an investors practice about BTC investment if she still lacks the understanding 4years such investor will continue to sell when the price is yet to maximal its ATH price.

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

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.

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.
This is believing... Knowledge is wealth

knowledge is not wealth but a weapon, yeah your weapon to face everything that might happen in your life and also your weapon to secure your finances because currently there are many fraudsters out there who are after your money.

I'm still new to bitcoin but I will continues to deepen my insight about bitcoin, it is very important so that when there is news of propaganda attacking bitcoin to create an effect of fear, I have weapons and shields to fight it all.

Everyone who studies the world of investment must understand that in this world all investments have their own risks. It's just that there are certain levels of risk in each different investment field.

But basically the risks that exist in every investment field can be minimized by developing our knowledge in the field we are going to enter.

Trust me if we invest in property that is said to have low risk. But for us it can be very high risk if we don't understand and study it first before entering it.

For example, if we buy property in a disaster-prone area. Then it's the same as us throwing away our money. Because the price will continue to fall. especially if it is land prone to landslides and so on. Which even the previous owner would have left behind.

But when we understand it properly and study it carefully first. Then we can minimize the risk as small as possible. Because we already know which ones have potential and which ones don't. Which ones are worth entering and which ones are not. Because basically investment is about seeing potential in the future.

So now we apply it in Bitcoin. Indeed, Bitcoin is also an asset that has a high level of volatility because its price fluctuates. And yes, this makes many people say that Bitcoin has a fairly high level of risk. But actually, some things are true and some are not.
Because it depends on how deep one's insight into bitcoin itself. If someone can enter Bitcoin investment at the right time after going through a lot of analysis and he has seen the potential in the future. So he can minimize the risk of loss because he entered at the right time. that is, when there is a decline. And then he plans to get out when the bull market comes.

But for beginners who don't study it in more depth. So they tend to enter without taking into account or without careful investment planning due to limited knowledge. This can make the beginner considered investing with high risk. Because he has entered in a field that he is not good at. So the conclusion is high risk is for those who enter in fields that they do not study. And the risk is low for those who enter a field they have mastered.

[ThemePen]

If anyone has knowledge. And he/she knows when they should enter in the market and when they should go out and when they should wait so for them Bitcoin is not risky. And if anyone has ability to hold assets so for him Bitcoin is not risky.
But if anyone don't have knowledge that when to buy and he/she gets panic when he/she see the loss so for them Bitcoin always be risky.

And in my point of view Bitcoin is the name of trust if you trust Bitcoin so Bitcoin never gives you loss. Just believe and hold.

Generally, bitcoin has risk but the risk is worth taking because we cannot say completely that it does not have risk, what does not have risk is something that will gives you guaranteed end result of your investment that you're not going to loose than earning some profits, do for someone who knows what he's doing with bitcoin, he sees bitcoin with no risk because he knows how to go about having a better experience with his understandings, but for a non knowledgeable person that makes mistakes and loose money will also believe it has high risk.

In fact, its volatility makes it more risky to invest. People suffer from constant losses especially for those who are uninformed about it and can’t stand about its high volatility and price fluctuations. Furthermore, by investing into bitcoin without the right knowledge and proper attitudes towards investing, it will also increase the risk and become more susceptible into mistakes and losses.

Is Bitcoin really risky as they say?

The risk that is obtained from crypto is greater because there are so many types of crypto that are in the crypto space that end up being disposed of. In contrast to the risks contained in bitcoin. This difference is because Bitcoin has a clear vision.

Afraid of the risk of investing in crypto such as altcoins and shitcoins, choose bitcoin. As well as being good as an investment asset, bitcoin is also good as a long term hedge asset.
Still also afraid of the risks, means the crypto space is not a good place for such people.

They didn't examine well how the market move and if they could just research the latest news about bitcoin maybe their investment decision may became different and instead of deciding to hold they come up with doing some daily good trades. Bitcoin is a good coin but volatility is quite mysterious so if we don't want to get caught for something unexpected we should be more cautious on taking any decisions.

In my opinion, Bitcoin is currently considered the most secure of all crypto currencies. Well, crypto currency is a risky market, anything is possible and there are many things to keep in mind while investing. Here it is very important to know about Bitcoin and crypto currency market before investing. Investing in Bitcoin is not about blindly entering the market whenever you want.
This is why many people make the wrong entry and panic sell their assets at a loss when the market goes down and then blame Bitcoin for the loss of their investment in Bitcoin.


In fact, this platform is a useful platform for newbies where experienced people provide you with all the information you need about crypto currency, Bitcoin and more. From which many people are benefiting and gaining knowledge and experience about crypto. So newbies should get knowledge and experience from this platform like you and then go ahead and think about investing in Bitcoin or crypto currency, because wrong entry and investment in wrong coin can lead to loss.

Bitcoin investment is risky. It is something that one will give careful thought before engaging oneself into it. In any bitcoin investment, one should expect to gain or loose, especially in the case of a short term investment. It is very vital to be watchful before engaging in any bitcoin investment generally. Make serious research to know the best avenues and sites to invest in, to avoid huge lose at the end of it all.

[Humblevirus]

 
Every investment involves risk, but the trust is that it will be so risky when you don't have proper knowledge before you invest in it. Many people who are saying that Bitcoin is very risky. I may say that maybe they have to get to understand Bitcoin properly. I agree that Bitcoin involves risk because of its volatility in nature and other scam activities that involve the cryptocurrency industry, but when you have good knowledge, you discover that Bitcoin doesn't involve that much risk because you will know how to keep your Bitcoin safe.

[sokani]

Well, every business investment comes with a risk but I think there's a lot of misconception about Bitcoin. Some person's first cryptocurrency investment was a ponzi scheme or some scam project that ended badly for them. So because of the scams and uncertainty attached to crypto investment some persons see Bitcoin as every other pump and dump coins.

Bitcoin is volatile asset but it's not like every other cryptocurrency. So I wouldn't call it a gamble or a risk because with proper knowledge of the market and discipline one can realize good returns of his investment.

[Ever-young]

Bitcoin is risky just like every other assets which has the volatility nature just as bitcoin do, the price up and down which is not stable and can’t be predicted is what make volatility appears to be risky and at the same time that’s what makes bitcoins assets to be profiting since it’s not stable in price it helps holder to benefit from the price change and make some profits.

Another thing which makes bitcoin appears to be risky is if one want to trade the coin in a hurry, I mean when you buy today and want to sell it off tomorrow but the price has dropped below what you bought it at, it has made you lose few cent from your invested amount which loss don’t not look so good in business.

Security is also what makes it appears to be risky, that this part is guaranteed base on individual, if you protect and keep your bitcoin wallet very well, then you will not have to worry about your funds security, but if you are careless with your phrase and other form of wallet security then your funds are likely to be misplaced and stolen by those who do not work for it and it will never come back to you again.

If one can learn how to manage the risk, then they can be less worried about bitcoin being risky or not.

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

It depends on where you stand and how much you understand Bitcoin technology. If you are unfamiliar with Cryptocurrency technology which has been widely discussed offline and online, of course you will consider Bitcoin investment to be high risk. But for those of us who have been on the Bitcointalk forum for a long time and are often involved in discussions about Bitcoin developments and already have knowledge of how to invest in Bitcoin, of course we will assume that there are many benefits that can be gained from investing in Bitcoin.
First learn the ins and outs of bitcoin starting from all its advantages and disadvantages, then compare it with the news you read in several articles on the internet. If you find something positive about Bitcoin investment, then you will place yourself among the people who view Bitcoin as a profitable investment.

[Ojima-ojo]

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

Not that people sees Bitcoin as high risk,  Bitcoin and every other investments are high risks so we have to identify that fact so as to be able to coordinate our self through our bitcoin journey and avoiding possible loses that may come along the way.

Fact that bitcoin is highly volatile makes it risk also in high degrees.

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.

That is the truth,  because to be able to properly and adequately hienese the benefits that come along with the risk in bitcoin investment,  is based on the level of the knowledge of the investor.

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.
 

Best form of investment is by buying Bitcoin and holding it in you wallet with your keys properly saved by you.


Then also there are other high risk Bitcoin activities that could help you earn more profits,  such as trading and gambling,  but both are even higher in risk than holding 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.

Bitcointalk have been a home for many of us who are seeking after knowledge on Bitcoin and its related discussions.

Also knowing when to sell out my investments for profit, permits me to say more of a paper hand(panic and sell when the price is down) and this should not be encouraged.

People can say that Bitcoin is risky because they failed to understand the volatile part of Bitcoin, they only rush to invest in Bitcoin with the mindset to get rich quickly because they saw a testimony of someone making a huge profit from Bitcoin investment without them knowing that the person had been holding Bitcoin for a long time. In the end, their investment in Bitcoin turned out not to be successful because they didn't get x2 or x3 of their investment and they ended up spreading false news against Bitcoin that it is risky to invest in Bitcoin.
