The risk of investing should not be a set back as a bit coin investor

[Odusko]

First, Op, you must refrain from using letter 'U' for 'you' it kills the value of your content at heavy amounts. Back to the thread, Bitcoin have little risks attached for long term investors. Those who are on the verge of losing are those who came into Bitcoin to make early wealth. Consider the El Salvador nation, that made tremendous profits during the bull run after investing gradually on Bitcoin through the help of their leader. It's simple go ahead for a while, and watch the benefits flow.

Has El Salvador sold any of their Bitcoin holdings?
I don't think so, and for that we can't announce them as a nation that made tremendous profits from their Bitcoin reserve funds, what we can praise El Salvador for is their buying mentality, they have constantly bought Bitcoin in frequent past and is highly commendable of them, the current president Nyib Bukele who act as the champion in the El Salvador Bitcoin movement, this should be the most achievement, while other nations are afraid of Bitcoin adoptions, El Salvador took the bold step of making the country the first Bitcoin country and that records stick forever.

Any investment always comes with risk and it’s something that can’t be avoided especially in Bitcoin which has high volatility. I don’t see it as a setback anymore instead I just embrace it as part of my journey. The key here is to stay informed, study market trends and manage risk wisely rather than fear it. Many new investors panic and leave when they experience losses but if you want long-term success you need patience and an understanding of market cycles.

Every action carried out in investing is accompanied by risk and thus risk is an inevitable factor that cannot be eliminated. To say that something is facing means to be not scared or uncertain about it, it is how the persons adapt themselves without getting a distraction. Prices can increase and decrease irregularly and this means that the one who manages to survive is the one that understands that the market is not going in cycles of a single day or even a week. It also goes without saying that one fault does not define the result, because what matters is how people keep on adapting to the current conditions.

Yes, a person's investment journey is not always smooth, full of challenges, obstacles and risks in it. Their experience will make them continue to develop themselves to be better than before, thanks to patience, understanding and adapting from before is the main key to achieving success in the investment world. The most important thing in this case is to continue to learn from past mistakes, by evaluating each of your past mistakes you are likely to succeed in the future.

Every investment has it's risks, it's your duty as an investor to take calculated risks. Fear of risks on investment is the fastest excuse to remaining very poor. In Bitcoin, it's always advised to invest with your discretionary income and build up backup funds alongside your accumulation journey in a bid to mitigate the risks associated with the investment.

Bitcoin investment have risks, although perceived to be very little, but we cannot deny that it exists, but if you dwell in the fear of taking risks and don't invest in it, then on the long run you may see that even not investing into Bitcoin is the greatest risk you took.

[crwth]

What do you mean, not a setback? I believe it depends on who the person is and the financial standing that they have to do some investing. You must manage your risks and know what you are getting into because those decisions will likely determine what the outcome could be. If you are consistent in investing and making sure you are making the right choices, you will increase your holdings, giving you more opportunities to profit.

Bitcoin is just one investment; you should treat it as one, ensuring you manage your risks.

[coin-investor]

The risk of investing should not be a set back as a bit coin investor firstly talking  about risk investment this is a main factor of investment that can not be removed because for every market there must be a risk behind it.

But the cryptocurrency market has big risks compared to other traditional markets; the market can make a sudden shift while traders are sleeping, and the cryptocurrency market has huge volatility; sometimes its hard to keep up with the market without proper research.
You have to keep up with the global news and current events because it will have an impact on the market. If you take a vacation and go to a place without internet, you could lose all your investment. You have to be updated on the news and be quick to dump and be quick to buy so you can profit and keep your investment safe.

Historically, one can't go wrong investing in Bitcoin with a time frame of 4+ years. I'm not saying this is a fool-proof strategy but it's one that can give peace of mind and reduce the focus or worry about risk/volatility (when combined with good budgeting and financial management).

4 years plus is actually a long time for bitcoin to go through what ever price swings it will suffer and recover from it and eventually give the investor profit to be confident about even if it’s not big but it will be something which will worth the waiting period, although nothing is guaranteed but the chances of coming out victorious is high given the period involve.

[Y3shot]

If you decide to enter certain investments, one shouldn’t be fearful just because risks are waiting ahead. Of course, risks are everywhere, it’s up to you already how will you manage the risk and treat as a motivation that connects you more to your investment, and not as set back that will pull you everytime you get closer to your investment success. While risks can be worrying, but eventually if you learn how to turn those risks into rewards and profits, you will be at ease then and get used and comfortable with it.

There are risks in every investment but it's important for anyone that is going into any investment to understand the investment and the risk involve in it. T is important for people to understand that they don't need to take risk investment which they don't know about just because their is risk.  If you are into investment that you don't really understand what the risk are and how to manage it, you may likely lose. The present of risk in investment should be the reason why people needs to have better understanding of every business they are going into.

Yes it's a long time however that is the price of an investment that has a higher probability and return than most others. Of course, that's just how it has gone historically, and one who has studied Bitcoin hard enough can also know (to an extent) that this is how it's programmed to work - though considering anomalies, it's a better strategy for peace of mind than it is to consider a sure bet.

I think most people not afraid with the risk of volatility, but they afraid if they getting scammed.

They don't even know how to buy Bitcoin, if they google how to buy Bitcoin, they either use local exchange or foreign exchange. After they successfully buy Bitcoin and after few weeks or months, they might hear x exchanges got hacked.

They be might be fine because they didn't use that exchange, but if it was their exchange and people ask to move to non custodial wallet, they will have mixed feeling because they already feel safe for holding in CEX instead of moving to new place that they don't know anything.

I think it depends on the person. As of now, I still have some friends who have not invested in bitcoin and they have no intention of investing in it either. And what worries them is its volatility, not any other reason as you said because they never heard about the CEXs collapse nor did I ever tell them that. They told me that they don't like the feeling of riding roller coasters, it makes them feel insecure in life. They accept low returns and invest in real estate, gold...and refuse to invest in bitcoin even though I have talked a lot about the advantages and profits that bitcoin can bring.

Not everyone likes volatility and risk like we do, many people like safety.

That is true though you can as well tell them to venture with the amount they can afford to lose, at least from the list they can let go of them, after which they can try it and see how it works. You can advise them to go for long time or whenever the market seems to be that high in returning back their profits then you sells off, so that they would understand how it works.
Lot of people are afraid to take the bold steps but they still need proves from you as the beneficiaries of Bitcoin investment and when they sees positive results they wouldn't mind venturing into Bitcoin investment.

[RockBell]

Yes, a person's investment journey is not always smooth, full of challenges, obstacles and risks in it.

The most important thing in this case is to continue to learn from past mistakes, by evaluating each of your past mistakes you are likely to succeed in the future.

Life on its own its not smooth but how you ready you will determine how far you will go because when things don't go smoothly are you going to give up or you will try harder, sometimes the challenges you face after investing and how patient you are will be the one to determine if you will be able to continue or not.

There are people that the moment they experience any small challenge they will start feeling insecure and eventually might quite investing. And the obstacles are suppose to be seen as references for you to be able for you to move on that is why you choose what ever you are going through gently and the same time you have to train your mind to be able to move forward even when you fail because there is a very high possibility that it will definitely face so we all just have to learn to accept failures.  This why a mind preparation matters a lot and you don't have to over do things and always go for consultation so that you don't have to worry to much.

The risk of investing should not be a set back as a bit coin investor firstly talking  about risk investment this is a main factor of investment that can not be removed because for every market there must be a risk behind it . It can't be eliminated because if there was no risk the bitcoin market would have been field with various investors which is not possible , the ideal of risk is to show the even at your lose another Bitcoiner has a profit.

Very well you can't dispute risk taking in every areas of life and moreso theres an adage that says most successful people are profound risks takers, and I think they didn't lie about saying this. So many investors in the market are scared of taking risks not to talk about huge risks but they want to get profits, sincerely speaking it doesn't work that way. But then as a Bitcoin investors this is a vital criteria that should be at the back of your mind, because you'll surely get to see ups and down and your success and achievement in it it's all bent on the level of risks you've taken.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

From what we all know, there's no investment without risk attached, just that some investment has a little risk while other have high risk. (For me) Holding Bitcoin is a very investment with low risk. If someoneone wants to archive profit from Bitcoin, they just have to learn and have a proper knowledge of the coin. Tips that helps are, invest just the amount you can afford to hold for a long time, while investing always keep your emergency funds seperate, keep your wallet secure and offline, do not save your coins on CEX, etc.

Yes ,you are right. Entry of person matters a lot in the market because many people enter in the market due to hearing words of friends or relatives or watching videos on YouTube. But it could be risky for new person who has zero knowledge of BTC because Marker situation can not be control by any person. Everyone have to learn to basics of BTC and the core of BTC then they will become successful investor. Don't be greedy when market is going up because that is time when big investors will get profit and they will sell BTC . You should know the strategies if big people then you will become successful in cryptocurrency market.You should know the supply and network of BTC and how BTC is safest investment at over the World.

[Negotiation]

In fact it is not possible to succeed without taking risks so you have to be ready for risks when investing in bitcoin taking risks in investment is actually a matter of attitude. If you are ready to accept and adapt to risks then it is easy to achieve success in a volatile market like cryptocurrency but for that it is important to control risks and be mentally prepared so that you can take the next step without getting frustrated in any situation. It is true that the price of bitcoin can fluctuate rapidly but in the long run those who accept this volatility of the market and invest can get good results in a short time.

Risks are Inherent in every investment, however in Bitcoin, the rush happens to be lesser since Bitcoin isn't a mere pump and dump scheme. Relying on the risky nature as a reason for not investing in Bitcoin is a very bad financial decision. Invest with your discretionary income and plan a long-term investment strategy.

It can't be eliminated because if there was no risk the bitcoin market would have been field with various investors which is not possible ,

Bitcoin is still filled with various investors regardless, Bitcoin market cap is currently $1.62T. and this is made up of various investors who have funds locked up in Bitcoin. It's a community driven project and this large market cap is a product of community involvement.

If you want to invest in something, you should identify the risk behind of that investment so you know how to manage the risk. Most people don't understand and they only join in the investment program without think about what is the risk. They will panic when they know the risk and will leave the investment no matter they lose their money because they want to save their money before runs out and they can not get something.

That is why before someone invest in Bitcoin, they must know the details so they can adjust everything with the current situation. They can not depend on other people decision because investing in Bitcoin will be personal decision after they know the details of Bitcoin investment.

They need to learn more the analysis and other things so they can have a way if they face the problem. They will find how to solve the problem or reduce the risk if the situation is change suddenly.

Real estate is no longer give low returns, I've heard many people said they bought a house worth of let's say $100K in 2021 and when they want to sell the house in 2023 for $110K, there are no serious buyers and until now the house haven't sold yet. Some people even sold below than the amount they bought.

While gold, I agree it will bring low returns, but this will depend on the country you live.

In my country, there's a popular company who sold fake gold and they didn't get any punishment, so it will be very risky for me to invest in gold.

If someone decides to enter the market just by hearing the words of others then it is very wrong so it is very necessary for anyone who wants to invest and first understand the risks so as not to make mistakes in the investment that will be carried out which results in losses.

When someone is too greedy in investing, it is very possible for them to miss out on the profits they have earned and this is certainly due to their lack of knowledge in running investments and it will be very important for anyone to be able to study well before deciding to invest so that they can get the results they want in investing.

Anyone going investment should be prepared for the risk factors that are associated with it because I have not seen a business that is free of risk, So people should prepare their minds for the unforseen circumstances if they actually arise in the future that is what actually makes one an entrepreneur the difference between the poor and the rich is in the ability to take risk with the hopes of making more gain.

When it comes to investments in crypto currency especially Bitcoin volatility is one thing that really impact on the crypto market and cause the price to fluctuate so this should not be a setback because as an investor you should look beyond what you will loose in the process but what you are going to get in return for your investment because anyone who is afraid of taking risk can't be successful in the future

Your points are very right, as a matter of fact an investor should know that there's risk in everything called investment, that's an established fact, what matters is how an individual decides to manage the risk, we can decide not to invest in business we find lucrative just because of a norm, something that we see as a continuous thing, we don't expect to get something on a platter of gold, life has principles so do business, the concepts of business include the risk involved and  what makes us good investor is how smart we are not allow those risk to weigh us down not to invest and how calculated we are to handle those risk too.

Definitely one have to take risk but as I will also say, it must be a calculated risk to avoid being recked, your risk should be in what you already know about and believe in to avoid being a victim of circumstance.
As you've said, in Bitcoin investment, fluntuation is part of the process which people see as the risk itself but this price fluntuation has been known to either favour upsurge or dips which we can't actually predict the actual time this things happens but what matters is having in mind that no matter what happens, the movement of Bitcoin price in the future will favour bitcoiners, the practical examples are there to speak for this investment so I think whichever way, what individual investors sees as risk in the said investment turns to be a favour in disguise in the future for bitcoiners.
