The risks in bitcoin investments are so high, you can either become rich or get poor at a glance. Behind the high risks Bitcoin makes you get rich quick, I myself think only of its advantages and try to minimize the loss
Well I agree with you minimize risk of losing money, if you are taking about bitcoin for trading
activity i don't think bitcoin will make the users get rich quick,
 especially bitcoin be used for trading because will be difficult for getting much profit and get rich quick
but we just need getting active profit from trading, slow but sure we will become rich people.

So you are talking about risk. The risk in investing in bitcoin or anything is that you can lose all your money. That is the highest kind of risk in anything. Risk is everywhere in life and investment in bitcoins is also not risk free. So there is no thing in the life which has no risk. But i still think investment is bitcoins has very less risk as it is the most demanding currency of this decade.

it is all speculation, the risks are there but in my opinion price going down in long term has a  very small chance. but in short term because of some stuff that are going on can go down but i won't last long.ut there is another risk that people usually forget, when you are using bitcoin you are in charge of keeping your private keys (your wallet) safe. and if you fail to do that, you will lose your money

There is always risk in any investment but i think in bitcoin, there is only a small risk for investing your money on it. If you invest in bitcoin then you can sleep very well because you don't need to worry for getting a loss because in the long run, the price is always going up and that is good for long term kind of investor. Bitcoin is one of the safest for me and i trust bitcoin for having my money.

Investing in bitcoin was risk in the past when people were new to it and were not having enough faith in it as at that point they had fear of loosing their money in it but now after looking the growth and success of bitcoins I don't think there is any risk of investing money into it.
Now the risk with bitcoin have decreased much, but at the same finding a trusted investment platform is simply a hard task for the users. Because these days understanding the potential of bitcoin and the user acceptance lot have involved into scam attempts and get the people's money in the name of investment. So this need to be overcome while making a good bitcoin investment.

I disagree with you. There is a risk. Crypto currency always carries a risk. We can not guess what will happen tomorrow in this system. But I'm sure that investing in bitcoin is safer than investing in HYIPs.
How ridiculous ... Are you saying that HYIP is a form of investment? Only idiots think that. HYIP is just a way for people to trick newbie users who are not knowledgeable about bitcoin.

That's correct that is why we do not have to put all our money in this investment, diversifying it would be wise IMO.

I just wanted to know that,what amount of risk is there in investing in bitcoins.
Right now i am planning to buy btc approx 3-4 btc and just hold them as i guess the price of bitcoin will increase in future and i will get some good profit.But i want to know what is the risk involved.Can bitcoin price decrease and is this right time to buy the bitcoin.
there is no risk at all , it is because the most of the developed countries are now accepting bitcoin as an way of the payment and also they legalise the bitcoin officially , so no risk to hold bitcoin .
Here in my country , which is India, the government is looking to legalise the bitcoin .

More than most people seem to think. There's the never ending infighting, the possibility of a fatal flaw, many of the businesses and exchanges aint professional enough,  alts might keep on growing, authorities might start cracking down.

That's why there's basically no one here still and why there might be serious growth but don't let anyone tell you it isn't a gamble because that's what it is.
Not sure what you mean by there being no-one here, looking around on the forum there's still a fair amount of people and I haven't been seeing any mass exoduses, even a trickle of users away from the community doesn't seem like a major concern right now. While the market might be a bit of a gamble, it does have some trends that it follows and it isn't impossible to predict movements, just a bit more of a challenge with whales and everything.

Maybe old users of Bitcoin are leaving, but the community seems really vibrant for what it is. I could be wrong.

There is risk in investing with bitcoin right now since the price is too high wait for it to go down and buy some cheap bitcoins to hold long term that is if you want more profit. If you want to get into bitcoin now, then buy now you might still profit from it in the future anyway but there's always the chance of it going down so there's a risk that is not big but not too small. For now it's better to wait before buying.
I agree. If it is in the high point of its rate, volitality should we expect as what does huge traders' tactics do. I think, it's better to wait more and watch if it is consistent enough before buying bitcoins again.

The risk associated with bitcoin would always be there in terms of investments. How much risk one is willing to take is up to him. If a person decides to go all in on bitcoin, that could either be a brave or outrageous move, depending on how much the price of bitcoin has increased or decreased. But if we look at the historical performance, one cannot be blamed for taking more risk because the reward is definitely big.

A Bitcoin investment used to be a lot more risky, this would be I say around a year ago based on the volatility of the market and in one day you could lose 10 percent of your value in Bitcoin if you were holding but it could also go the other way! (Never happend to me I'm not that lucky) The risk isn't as high now, but Bitcoin as a whole is still a currency that has these fluctuations now it just takes a week for this all to happen instead of a day and so on.

This is still more of a better investment than other cryptos such as the many altcoins but still very risky. May want to explore the stock market before doing something so drastic like buying into this.

Bitcoin investment can be risky only if you cannot handle it smartly and if you are smart enough then you will be making good profits from it by taking an advantage of price volatility and if you can do that then there is no risk in investing in bitcoins.

I just wanted to know that,what amount of risk is there in investing in bitcoins.

There is no measurement when we talk about risk, risk is a risk the same thing with gambling, you are gambling your money with investment. It can go up and down any time.
Right now i am planning to buy btc approx 3-4 btc and just hold them as i guess the price of bitcoin will increase in future and i will get some good profit.But i want to know what is the risk involved.Can bitcoin price decrease and is this right time to buy the bitcoin.

Just be ready if ever the price go down and be happy when the price go up. But right now it is worth to take the risk as you said it, the price goes up in the long run.

Over time, bitcoin prices continue to grow.Though it is not smooth sailing, it managed to recover.I think risk in bitcoin is quite less compared to other cryptocurrency. All cryptocurrency is paired with bitcoin as their basis aside from dollar tether  and others.
The price of bitcoin will grow in the future and no one has a second opinion regarding that,most of the times people are looking to find a proper time to  invest as investments made at the right time and the right price will make a difference in how successful you are at trading and with every market there will be a dip and plan on getting the coins with every dip rather than grabing when the price is high.
