Depending on which of the cryptocurrency you are investing in, if you buy bitcoin your risk is highly minimal and the percentage between your loses and profits is higher in profits merging that is to say that you likely make more profits from bitcoin more than you make loses, which means your risk is almost none existence.
But altcoins on the other hand have high risk factors that is much more higher to lose than gaining from it investment.
This depends on how much money we invest in Bitcoin, the more money we put in of course the more profits we will receive. It is true that bitcoin has a smaller risk compared to altcoins, alts can disappear from circulation if the alt does not survive well, this depends on what alt you choose, if you choose one whose fundamentals are strong enough in this case it is much better, and of course each investor is different in determining their investment choices, this depends on how investors see opportunities in prices and see the percentage of profit if there is a new increase.
The opportunity for risk to occur will always exist, although in investing in Bitcoin the risk is smaller. However, investment and life are a unity that we cannot avoid. In this life, no one knows in the future how we can plan carefully or well, but if fate says otherwise, for example we experience a disaster, then there will be no more reserve funds in our life, there will only be our investments, if the price falls, of course there will be losses can't be avoided.
