Is Bitcoin really risky as they say?

[Franctoshi]

Yes, It is undeniable that investment in Bitcoin involves some amount of risk, but when you compare the risk factor which lies in its volatility side, and the benefits that we get from it, Generally, the Benefits outweigh the risks when you take a look at the problem it has come to solve in our society today and therefore it is worth taking an investment risk in BTC because it's minimal even when you compare it with fiat that has inflation risk.

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

To many, bitcoin is a high risk investment and this is mainly because of how volatile bitcoin market can become. Bitcoin price is very unstable which is why it's been tagged a high risk investment and considering how profitable bitcoin can become and also how easily it can be for investors to lose money when they don't understand how the market work, it's indeed a high risk investment. There are various ways which an investor can use to minimize the risk which one of the popular ways is investing through DCA but not everyone has the knowledge on this and that's why they keep losing to the market. Not everyone is used to the risk that come from investing because they're not used to investing before they heard about Bitcoin.

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.

On the contrary my friend, Bitcoin investment is just only one, and not as if there are many, but what we have are different exchanges and wallet where one can buy and hold his/her Bitcoin for the specified duration he intends to. But when we talk about loss in Bitcoin, what we mean is a small fraction of your capital (i.e decrease in respect to percentage) and not a whole of it, just like in the case of Ponzi schemes and many other online scams were many persons have fallen victim, which on that note, my advise to newbies will always be to use reputable exchanges to buy or sell your BTC (i.e Binance, Paxful, Coinbase & Luno), and not any upcoming platforms were its reputation is still under test, so as to avoid not losing fund.

Owning a Bitcoin have risk because there are things that you need to do. These are the some of the things that a person should understand and know why it is also risky. First, is to keep your wallet safe and secured. Second, choosing the right wallet that you will use to store Bitcoin. Third, be wary of connecting your wallet to a website (if you don't mind, don't use main wallet yo connect to a website). Fourth, price of Bitcoin is not stable which means if you have $1000 worth of Bitcoin but the price decrease then you don't have $1000 but the amount of Bitcoin you have is still the same where it's value is different from before.

Any investment has risk. Like all investments, Bitcoin is risky. Good research and purchasing at the right price at the right time are among the factors that reduce the risk of investments. For example, the risk you take when BTC is $ 65000 is not the same as the risk you take when it is $ 15000.

I'm planning to buy it until the new halving period. I started taking it when I was 30K, I continue to add as it drops. I invest regularly every month. Currently my average is 27K

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

I'm one of those who believe Bitcoin isn't risky when compared to altcoins. Those who think otherwise haven't deeply studied how Bitcoin works. For me, the only risk there would be making wrong entry or exit predictions while buying it. If we're referring to market dump as the risk Bitcoin can be thrown into or exposed to, then we should know that Bitcoin is like a cat with nine lives. It never dies. It has the ability of rising from its ashes. We've seen it rise from serious dump on several occasions during the bear seasons after each ATHs in the past.

I agree with the people that say bitcoin investment is risky, but bitcoin is also less risky. If you are making bitcoin investments for a short period of time, it is kind of risky. If you are making investments in bitcoin for a long period of time, then I can say the risk associated with bitcoin is less compared to when you are investing for a short term or trading, but that does not mean that bitcoin is not risky and you should end up investing all your money in bitcoin. With every investment you make, there should always be a backup, and you shouldn’t invest all at once.

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.

The forum has really helped me a lot, and I can’t even mention the aspects in which I can say the forum has helped me, because I learned lots of things about bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general after joining the forum here, and the most interesting part is that all the things I learn on the forum here are for free, I didn’t pay anybody for that. The forum really helped me learn about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies faster.

risk for what? risks regarding liquidity? regulatory risks? risk regarding value? political risks? risk disappearing from the earth?

the conclusion is not only bitcoin which can be very risky even safe investment instruments such as government bonds, gold or deposits still have risks too, if you want your future to change then don't be afraid to take risks, so far bitcoin has tested its reputation and will never make you lose unless you do panic selling.

Re: Is Bitcoin really risky as they say?

At the end of it, it will all depend on how knowledgeable a particular person is.

A person who don't know anything about Bitcoin will really see it as a risky asset. A person tend to see Bitcoin as a risky asset at first when they first hear or learn it, but overtime, if they will try to learn it, research on it, and be interested on it, they will realize that it isn't as risky as they think at first place.

TBH, I saw Bitcoin as a bad asset when I was a newbie. It being volatile, and me being a newbie is a perfect recipe for that kind of mindset, but my curiosity got me. I did some research, and found out that it wasn't that risky at all as long as you know what you're doing. Overall, Bitcoin is risky only for people who have little to knowledge to it, and vice-versa.

I will be a hypocrite if I will say that this forum helped me learn Bitcoin in different ways.

Aside from Youtube where I always watch documentaries regarding Bitcoin, reading some threads here in the forum really helped me as well. I'm not an avid reader, and I don't read that much, but when curiosity is there, you will do the things that you don't often do, and that includes reading here. TBH, I'm still reading some of the posts here from intelligent users because why not... I mean it's an additional information for all of us, right?

[landheer]

Investing in Bitcoin is of course very risky, and of course many people who invest in BTC experience losses, of course many will give up and end up no longer wanting to invest in BTC. and usually people who are successful in investing in BTC are people who don't give up and continue to seek knowledge and learn from experience even though investing in BTC has experienced losses.

So investing in BTC is very risky, that's why many people say that knowledge must be prioritized before investing in BTC.

It is clear enough about what you are saying that the importance of knowing the risks in any job has become the main thing before doing any work, including work in the crypto space itself. I also quite agree with the explanation you gave because as long as we don't panic and sell at a low price, then clearly there will be no losses, although the key is to be patient to wait for another increase and waiting and being patient is also part of the risk.

And actually everyone can take risks based on their abilities because if they take too many risks it can also create a heavier mental burden. Another example is when someone wants to invest in Bitcoin with the capital they have without feeling forced to do so with a larger amount of capital. Because when someone who starts to dare to put some capital into Bitcoin for investment, he is also directly able to bear the risk based on the amount of capital he uses.

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.

You too have experienced losses, right? Those that mean you made an investment without being aware of the risk? It is impossible to invest in bitcoin for a long time and lose money; either you do it for a short period of time, or you do so without sufficient information. Those who view bitcoin as a danger believe that you cannot profit from it and that those who invest in it ultimately lose the most money are missing out on an opportunity. Even though there may be other ways they invest and fail, they may believe that investing in bitcoin will put them in the same position as they loose money. We cannot accomplish anything without understanding about it, as you mentioned; knowledge is wealth.

Investing in Bitcoin depends on whether it is low or high. If the investment is done at the right time, the risk is low and if the price of Bitcoin rises, it is possible to get profit if it is sold at the right time.
But you have to understand that investing according to the market up and down is a good investment. I have invested in Bitcoin myself I don't think risk myself because I invested during Bitcoin Dip market due to which I have profit at present. Keeping bitcoins in a strong wallet and investing for a long time is better.

The more think about risk, the more we get bothered about what we are going to do and most of the time it creates worries. I agree that we need to understand how Bitcoin investment works to avoid such emotional stress and doubts. Although we can't set aside that crypto investment is too risky but must try not to think about it instead, think about how to fit into the situation in order to avoid losses. Understanding the behavior of the market will help us calm and remain positive.

I think investing in Bitcoin is not as risky as you think. Profits and losses are an integral part of any investment. Of course, people will lose in Bitcoin too, but I don't think it would be fair to blame Bitcoin for that loss. .Anyone who invests without knowledge, without experience and without understanding the ups and downs of the crypto currency market will definitely be at a high risk of loss.

I don't think people who lost in Bitcoin will withdraw from Bitcoin investment but if they realize their mistake then they definitely invest in Bitcoin whenever they get a good opportunity. will I think the most successful people in Bitcoin investing are those who understand the market and enter in a good position and exit the market with a good profit. That's why I think Bitcoin investment is risky if you don't know when to invest in Bitcoin and how to do it. It is very important to know about Bitcoin or any other investment before investing.However, in my personal opinion, Bitcoin investment seems very safe to me.

Bitcoin is a high risk asset, this is true, but at the same time the degree of risk of bitcoin investment lies in the term of investment. Most people who lose money on bitcoin have a small investment period, up to 1 year. This is just about the least effective period of bitcoin ownership. The only exceptions may be during bull run periods, as was the case in 2020-2021. In other periods, the use of short and medium-term strategies is unprofitable and ineffective. The beauty of bitcoin is precisely in the long-term strategy, where your coins can lie around for at least 3 years without any action. It is this behavior that reduces the risks of owning such a high-risk asset as bitcoin.

[inthelongrun]

If someone wants to invest and hold bitcoin for only a short-term period then it is indeed very risky. The price history of bitcoin in the previous years speaks for it. Financial analysts call bitcoin risky for some reason. We need to invest with long-term goals and be able to hold in spite of small ups and downs if we want to earn big profits. That is why it is very important to invest using only a part of our extra savings otherwise we could be forced to sell at a low price when an unexpected financial downturn happens.

Well, compared to other assets such as real estate property or bond, Bitcoin is definitely a lot riskier, but the reason is mainly because the volatility is still high, and it's not something thath is totally bad, because it means that Bitcoin is not simply high risk, but also high return. Other reason why Bitcoin is considered to has higher risk is might be that because Bitcoin is fairly new compared to other investment, investor still trying to figure out the nature of the market

Short-termism is not a solution to investing in bitcoin but there is a risk that they will lose half the value due to the decline in the price of bitcoin due to cyclical or other factors.
I think almost all investments must have risks depending on how much time he determines, but in bitcoin there is always high volatility that any price can fall, at least investing in bitcoin for 4 years and above will produce better results.

So it's pretty clear if anyone asks bitcoin is risky? Then I will answer yes

Yeah, but the good thing at the same time is that Bitcoin is decentralized. It is just riskier since there are plenty of factors that contribute to its volatility. The hypes, the news and all those things that can affect people's decision in investing in Bitcoin.

It is just that even if it volatile, as long as it's not your house/land invested to crypto not just Bitcoin, you're gucchi.
