Where there is no risk in life you will learn something and if you win you will lead. So there are many risks in our entire path from birth to death.So I would say you can never win without risking your life.
There are many benifits of using Bitcoin but there are some disadvantages. If you trade Bitcoin and its price will dump it can give you a loss. And if your account is scamed then what will you do. But don't worry if you forgot your password you can easily recover your account if you shared your private keys to anyone then its hard to recover.
Maybe what you mean is fluctuations in the price of bitcoin that can provide losses or gains. If the price goes down you don't sell it, you just have to wait for it to go up. All trading requires strategy and strategy requires basic trading knowledge. do not trade without the provision of knowledge about trading, it is the same as you plunge into a steep abyss.For wallet security it is the duty of an individual or the responsibility of the owner. Keep your wallet private key and secure every device connected to the main wallet. must be alert.
If you trade Bitcoin and its price will dump it can give you a loss.
This is not only happening in Bitcoin. All kinds of investments have the risk of losing money. Even you invest in Gold, you also can lose money if you don't use a proper way (strategy). Pump-dump won't be always bad for you if you know how to take advantage of this. Make sure you will buy Bitcoin when it is dumped and sell on a pump then.
With some of the risks involved, it doesn't mean bitcoin is the most dangerous investment. Of course, all investments have their own risks, not only bitcoin. With the existing risks, we use them as lessons and make us have to be more vigilant and careful so that our assets remain safe. Of course, behind the existing risks there are also advantages of investing in bitcoin that are not obtained in other investments and are certainly profitable. So we are really smart in investing and managing our own assets.
BTC is currently a huge place for criminals to take advantage of money laundering, and most central banks are still hesitant about accepting BTC as a payment currency because BTC is unstable and has a high risk thoughts of those who don't acknowledge the technology background of BTC. Most of the time now BTC is more accepted and popular but we all have to admit that BTC is not a coin that stabilizes a price over time like traditional stablecoins.
Bitcoin is just an alternative and not created to replace fiat money. It was decentralized digital currency that government don't like because they don't have an authority over it. Government can regulate but can't stop bitcoin because people will always find a way to use it despite of a lot of risk it can give. Bitcoin is risky but profitable and useful.
I don't get it. Money laundering? Your kids is selling drugs? You stay straight and you avoid all the tossery.

There are five risks in the use of Bitcoin:
I think there are more than five risks involved with using bitcoin, there is also the "risk of the unknown" - imagine the possibility of a disaster that took down technology, electrical grids and the internet world wide, there’d be no way to access your bitcoin?
Also, there is the risk of investment-
Investing in bitcoin is the greatest risk of all because unlike the futures markets traded on the exchanges, disputes can be easily resolved because they are regulated. However, the reverse is the case when you enter the world of cryptocurrencies. It is both unregulated and decentralized. Anything can happen both gain and loss.
In all, one has to make up his or her mind to accept the risk involved, because without risks there are no rewards.
The money laundering somehow gets controlled by the government by doing KYC verification. I had seen that quite a lot when using any custodial wallet involving crypto. That is what they fear of.
Though at some point, I wouldn't let anyone get hold of my money anyway. I wouldn't send it to anyone that is surely not part of what I am aware of interacting at everyday.

It seems to me that you think about Bitcoin as a dummy. Have you ever heard that Chinese government started replacing gold by Bitcoin in offshore yuan security. I mean that nowadays Bitcoin, corn, cotton, copper are collateral of offshore yuan.
Anyway I am ready to take risks to get profit, as I consider Bitcoin to show us big increases and potential in the future.

To be honest, I haven't heard of that thing you said. I only know that the Chinese government has denied the currency properties of Bitcoin and is not allowed to circulate and use as a currency in the market, but it has not denied that it is held by people as a valuable asset.
Although I said the risks of using Bitcoin, I still hold Bitcoin firmly. same as you.
There are five risks in the use of Bitcoin:
For me, that's the only real risk. The rest enumerated can be associated with fiat too. So, no biggie. However, Bitcoin is even receiving nice reviews now than it did half a decade or so ago. It's a given that a few years down the line from where we currently are the reviews will be far better than what we have now. The law risk is because a lot of nations haven't seen the need to support Bitcoin through legislative means and certify it a legal tender yet. These nations may not be able to hold this position longer than necessary when they find out they're getting left behind with this paradigm shift if they don't key in. It's just a matter of time, and Bitcoin (by extension cryptocurrencies) will become the ultimate winner. - The risk of the law

The price of Bitcoin fluctuates greatly, and investors have greater trading risks. Many Bitcoin traders obtain spread income by selling high and buying low Bitcoin on the trading platform. At this time, traders need to bear the arbitrage risk of Bitcoin's skyrocketing and plummeting. If Bitcoin is used as a trading medium, the huge fluctuations in the value of this currency will bring huge risks to users.
Bitcoin's anonymity makes its transaction records difficult to track, and it also provides channels for illegal and criminal activities such as money laundering, drug trafficking, smuggling, and illegal fund-raising.
Whether the blockchain technology that Bitcoin relies on can withstand the test of security, and whether the anti-risk ability of the Bitcoin trading platform can match the rapid increase in transaction volume. Bitcoin trading platforms in some countries have experienced incidents such as security vulnerabilities being exploited by hackers and causing the loss of Bitcoin hosted on the platform, which would have caused significant losses to Bitcoin investors.

There are many benifits of using Bitcoin but there are some risks of using Bitcoin. If you can invest and trade Bitcoin and market goes low it can effect Bitcoin price and you can loose your money but if you patient and wait for market pump you can earn profit and there are some account scam issues can happen but if you will not share you private key, password or seed phrase you will not loose your account.
Bitcoin is just like any other investment, the opportunity for profit and loss is the same, this makes us have to be good at choosing the right time to buy and sell, but based on my experience when buying bitcoin, patience is the most important key because the bitcoin price trend is always rise.
But yes, patience will be the key to controlling emotion and not panic because of the price. Besides that, when you invest in bitcoin, you can decide when you want to sell but do not sell if the price does not increase higher because that can make your profit not bigger.
Bitcoin is not a risky investment, those who are against Bitcoin are making us think that Bitcoin is at risk for its instability and security. But in terms of security, Bitcoin is irresistible and volatility makes it suitable for investment. Already the price of Bitcoin has surpassed the price of gold, now everyone is just waiting for massive adoption, its full worth can be realized when the majority of people will accept it.
I also experienced this risk when crypto is not legal as a currency in my country. So, when I am found using crypto as a manner of currency to pay something, It means that I don't obey the rules and I will get punished.
But, every risk may also offer other joys and profits. Sometimes, we may get the risks in using Bitcoin.
But as long as we can see where it is, and what is Bitcoin is using based on the rules that are allowing it, it may not be a matter.

The main risk of using Bitcoin is that you could turn into a toxic maximalist asshole that nobody who isn't into crypto wants to be around.
I think, you should not focus on the negative side of crypto. Investing in bitcoin and other digital currency always have pros and cons that you should understand and accept before start using or investing on it. Owning or holding bitcoin and other valuable digital currency is your way to make huge profit for a short and long term period. The volatility of bitcoin, even other currency always gives you profit if you really know how to ride on the market movement. Investing in bitcoin is risky, that's true but it was profitable. You should take all the risk if you want to earn profit.
all things in the world have good and bad sides, so we must have a broad perspective to be wiser in determining attitudes. anything can be used as a tool of crime, but when it comes to crypto or bitcoin, the problem will definitely get bigger and wider, because basically bitcoin is full of pros and cons.basic knowledge related to the world of crypto and investment is needed to be able to profit here. The first and most important thing is that we must understand the risks of high crypto market fluctuations, so we don't arbitrarily spend capital to buy certain coins.

^ It does not mean you are a high risk-taker you are also can be able to make a high profit. That is not how BTC investment work, you need first how to understand the market situation, the market price flow, and the behavior of BTC price. There is a big risk, yes, and that is why OP gives some point of managing risk that possible we can handle and so if we are already there, let them be. I can consider BTC investment is very crucial the most investors, it could be the reason that their money was lost.All investments have risks, including investing in Bitcoin. But the risk of investing in Bitcoin may be much higher than investing in other assets
such as gold or real estate. We don't know when Bitcoin will be in the internet world, moreover Bitcoin is a technology that can be replaced with
other more sophisticated technologies. Bitcoin can just disappear, if there is no longer demand, then that makes Bitcoin more risky for its volatile price.
This makes the money we use to invest in Bitcoin can be lost quickly, if the wrong decision is made. Therefore we must have knowledge before
deciding to invest in Bitcoin, at least can understand the basic rules of how to invest in Bitcoin safely.
If you do not take risks in life, you will never succeed.So the bigger the risk you take, the more successful you will be at some point. Investing in Bitcoin here makes you feel a lot of risk. Yes there are a lot of big risks but if you do your luck favors you are short term In between you can become rich. So I would say that where there are more rickshaws, the chances of success are much higher.

There will always be a an incalculable residual risk when you invest in intangible assets like Bitcoin. The same way Bitcoin appeared out of nothing and conquered the markets' interest by storm, the same way it could disappear due to another innovation coming from nowhere. It is quite a matured technology by now in the sense that people do trust it, that they do believe this will be around for a while, but you should know that in the digital space surprises can wait behind every corner in a much faster way than for example in the real estate market where you can actually see and analyze market sentiments and movements.
