Bitcoin is still a relatively new technology and there are a lot of potential risks associated with investing in it.The one basic issue is that the value of bitcoin is not "pinned" to anything obvious.  For example, if you buy Apple stock, that is connected to the well being of the Apple corporation.  With bitcoin, it's not immediately obvious what influences the price of bitcoin, which makes it less possible to figure out what can change prices.
The other issue is that bitcoin is still quite new, and there is still a lot of room for unknown.

Of course investing in bitcoin got a risk, and we only can predict the price we cant know for sure how will be bitcoin in the future, and the price can go down like last month, bitcoin price can down if there is a big incident, and judging from the chart and the growth bitcoin can be very profitable for the future, just buy and hold few coin see for yourself whether you satisfied with then growth or not, and everytime is the right time to buy because the demand of this coin keep on increasing
Investing in cryptocurrencies involves very high risk, as prices have been extremely volatile. Many experts are sceptical about bitcoin as an investment primarily because there is nothing for them to analyse.
All investments have a risk, the greater the level of profit the greater the level of risk and vice versa, the main basis before we invest bitcoin is the price that can rise tens of percent per day so for those who are new to investing then everything looks horrible.

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.

We cannot quantify the risk that we are going to face in investing in bitcoin. If we will invest just make sure you are ready with the risk that we are about to experience. Crypto Market is too volatile and everything can happen may we earn or we may loose our investments.

There is no certain answer to such questions as market is always full of speculations and risk always remains present. Price of the bitcoin depends upon the demand of bitcoin.

You can see for yourself now how much of a big risk people have invested in their Bitcoin by the end of 2017, you can see for yourself the price is very far down and this is making big losses for them. Some people will feel sorry not to sell their Bitcoin in 2017 because they can benefit very well.

No one can give you an accurate answer, you can only rely on your own judgment, the price of bitcoin is unstable, it can change a lot at any time.

hard to know.
It seems a "low risk, low return" market, but reality, it is a "high risk, high return".

i think bitcoin is risky because bitcoin prices can rise high and also fall dramatically and will be risky for those who invest in addition bitcoin is also not regulated by the central government then it is at a very big risk to instability. Its value is not determined by the authority but based on the purchasing capacity of the network.

Bitcoin investment or trading involves a lot of risk, it is very important to first study what is this coin, what is its purpose and goals to achieve that. With the recent fluctuation value, made Bitcoin investment one of the most risky investment, This type of investment can be classified as high risk, high reward project.

I think it is impossible to calculate the risk in bitcoin investments. The cryptocurrency market is always volatile. You can easily recognize the bitcoin value by the end of 2017 and the present time. It is also affected by hackers or online frauds. It also indirectly creates a risk when investing bitcoin.

I think bitcoin isn't a secure coin. Because its not legal valid in every country. I think also this is most profitable coin in world. Do invest here you will  get big profit. If you take own risk.

Bitcoin is still a relatively new technology and there are a lot of potential risks associated with investing in it. Below are some of the biggest risks I see facing bitcoin as it pertains to become a widely adopted currency. Note: I'm not a bitcoin "bear", these are just some risk factors.

All investment has a risk and it is depend to you how you handle it because if you invest your money into a altcoin or bitcoin and you choose a short or mid-term it has a high risk i think because you need to see always the chart and guard it and if you invest your target is to gain a profit right so basically all investments has a risk.

Investing a long term holdings of bitcoin will actually at risk of 50% chances to fall now due to expensive bitcoin price; and sell price is lower compared to buying price. But if we thing longer terms of investments, well I guess that’s not risky at all and yet bitcoin has a bigger capability to rise higher of it’s price and it’s been projected to reach from $2000 up to $4000 next year 2018. Don’t think of other investments other than btc and you must choose the right path now the answer is digital currency investments because it’s been profitable for years.

investing in bitcoin involves very high risk the prices of bitcoin extremely fluctuating but if you want high return there is a high risk in investment in bitcoin but bitcoin is very profitable for the future.

Yes bitcoin price always fluctuates and everyone knows that.  Just like you said it is risky.  But in every investment there are always risk.  And the higher the risk the higher the profit.  So just invest what you can affor and okay for you to lose in case it does not go well.
agree with your opinion when you choose the investment we have to learn it does not necessarily immediately invest. it's all a matter of loss and risk that's what every time people suggest before making a decision

Every investment is risky and same goes with bitcoin too as we cannot be sure what will happen in future with bitcoins. So it's better to invest only amount in it which we can afford to loose and diversification is always an best choice for investment.

At a very basic level, there are two obvious sources of risk:
High volatility by definition makes bitcoin risky. A popular cross-rate XBT:USD has a realized 30-day volatility of 43.3% and a 90-day volatility of 67.44%. Not many people can stomach the swings you see in Bitcoin's value.
Security risks. Given the relative infancy of all parties involved in the act of investing in Bitcoin (exchanges, escrows, wallets), the security protocols, interfaces and code, etc. are ripe for attacking from a hacker's point of view. These vulnerabilities have been and are being exposed and exploited fairly regularly. See Mt. Gox, SilkRoad, etc for evidence of this in action.
I'm sure there are many other nuances and more involved risks embedded in a purely digital distributed currency, but for purposes of the average beginner investor, the above two should represent the bulk of "risk" experienced
