There are some risk in my opinion.
You invest first , then the market fall down , and your project will fall down too.
Or the project you invested is a big scam , haha , you lost your money!

Everything in crypto is a risky investment. Just conscious

there are many risks of investing in crypto, the easiest example is when you buy a crypto, then suddenly the price falls, this is a risk, especially if the price does not recover and the developer leaves it. another example if you invest in ico and get a ico scam, then you can be sure will lose the assets you have.

these are some examples of risks from crypto and there are many other risks. all risks can be avoided, if you are careful and always do analysis before investing.

exactly!..I am also a newbie in crypto industry!..thinking that I will invest my money, I think I need to be careful too!...

Making investments is a risky way of getting profit, that's for sure. And crypto investments can be described as the riskiest ones. Crypto os volatile, not stable, not regulated. No wonder, it's risky to put money in it, but on the bright side is the opportunity to earn a nice amount of money.
Yeah! The truth is there is absolutely no investment that isn’t risky and the only thing we can do is to be knowledgeable enough to know the risk that is common in such investment, see how it can be curbed to a minimal level and make decisions based on the knowledge we have been able to gain.

A lot of people tend to forget this part so much that all the things they care about is to make money quickly, but things do not happen that way. Knowledge helps a lot as well as patience when it comes to investment.

 Like I just read on another thread "Can I start trading with $100" ?

 Well, like the response to that went, I wished to have started with little money to learn the ropes, instead of lot. Every single investment is risky, otherwise we would all be millionaires. The thing is how to learn risk/reward and risk management. And also understand your STYLE of investor. Are you a day trader, week trader? Do you go by price action, fundamentals or TA?

 Then, there is the questions of who holds your private keys.

 Investing is always risky, so learning and information is key

Everything in crypto is a risky investment so be careful even if you put one buck as an investment. However, if you don't take the risk, you can't gain profits.
Cryptocurrency market is highly volatile that's why we call this investment as a risky investment. I hope you can understand now.

The first risk will be the volatility of crypto is very high,  the price can be crash more than 20% just afew hours and can be going down 90% in amonth.  Second risk is hacking and fraud.  So make sure you only put money that willing to loss in cryptocurrency. But with high risk also will be offer high profit like 10 times profit just in amonth or 100 times profit just in ayears. 
So far, I want to believe volatility is actually the major risk when it comes to investing in cryptocurrency. Asides from the fact that it is a new space and a lot of development are still coming up as time goes on, it makes it a lot subjected to huge speculation, less usage for what it is and most people just seeing it more as a speculative investment than the real thing. This is one thing that has made the volatility what it is but one thing I believe would become less as we forge ahead and the market becomes more matured.

i invest so much in cryptocurrency there is possible a risk? in investing in cryptocurrency, what is the main risk you encounter in investing in crypto
i hope an anyone give me an example a risk in investing in cryptocurrency,
You said you had already invested in crypto and why you didn't know that the risk is higher than any form of investment. The main risk is you will lose your money if you don't manage your investment property which you need knowledge in this technology.

Investing in cryptocurrency will be very risky if you do not have the experience. If you want to invest in cryptos safely, you should only invest in BTC, ETH, and long-term investments, and invest in altcoins. And the short-term ICO in the current low exchange rate is very wrong.

There is a risk in every investment and for crypto, its the Volatile market. The price can suddenly go up and down and the changes  can be unpredictable. I also don't want to sugar coat on this so I would like to inform you that there are unsuccessful ICO's that can make your money gone the moment the ICO was finished. From what I know, if the ICO turns out to be a failure, they will not return your money but will try to make things better on their end so you can get a coin and sell it someday.

Calculating the risks involved in cryptocurrency is quite not possible because in an6 investment,  there's risks involved. You need to be smart and alert and be ready for anything which may happen. Just don't put all your eggs in one basket.

When investing in crypto, we certainly always find the risk of loss, when you buy coins and sometimes the coin price is dumped, you will lose. I have experienced it when I bought it a few times when the price broke, even though the coin was popular and previously had a good price. Maybe this is our challenge as an investor in playing investment, you see prices are stable and then you buy them and immediately the price decreases. It's like gambling, if you are lucky you will be rich and if the price decreases then you will lose.

The biggest risk in investing in cryptocurrency is to lose your investment.
The market is volatile and if you invested in some not established coins your investment can go near to zero.
This is why we has to make a deep research prior to investing.

There are several risks involved with investments in cryptos;

1. Sudden price drops after purchase of coins due to high volatility.
2. Scam projects exiting with your investments in their scam ICO, money gone down the drain.
3. Wallet hacks by criminals, you lose everything with no chance of getting anything back.
4. Cease and desist for a project and by extension their coin, hence the token/coins in your possession become worthless.
5. Cryptos not regulated, so scammers hardly get prosecuted.

Those among many are some of the risks associated with investing in cryptocurrencies..

Much more than investing in traditional stocks.


go with your gut.

We're building a security token which will be used in the funeral industry. Just created this profile, but you want to invest in companies which have an excellent product, which is able to go live and be useful now. Not 5 years from now. invest in security tokens backed by assets and revenue and projects you'll earn dividends on. Invest in projects with MVPs either live or beta testing (shows they have skin in the game, are putting in work and committed) not just an idea and whitepaper.

Without going into detail (wait until official release) our project will revolutionize the entire funeral industry and enable families to plan a funeral from beginning to end. We're making it so they don't have to deal with salesperson's or spend the day dealing with the industry; worldwide. We're launching a beta in NYC for testing.

Blockchain uses include
- local and global death certificate registry
- obituary services & lookup
- Memorization and legacy saving
- and much more


We're working on the MVP and haven't launched our site or ICO site. If you're curious to know more; follow us on twitter for updates.

Message me on here if you have any questions. We'll be posting more information soon.

Big risk in every investment loses all the funds you have. Don't you think crypto doesn't have any risk, it's wrong. There are many threats that you will find such as fraud, accounts are hacked, and can drop prices too. You also have to know what the risks are before investing your money in crypto, you get scammed on ico or they stop working or the product fails.

In this market, the risk lies only in the inability to trade and understand the quality of ICO projects. If you constantly study the information and improve your skills the risk will be much less !

i invest so much in cryptocurrency there is possible a risk? in investing in cryptocurrency, what is the main risk you encounter in investing in crypto
i hope an anyone give me an example a risk in investing in cryptocurrency,
Market is very volatile and it really could make you rich or not the way your expecting an investment would turn out.
so crypto market is unpredictable, i suggest you study here for a while. and start reading some thread regarding any interest you would like to invest time and money.

and some scam is considered also risk right.
ill give you quite something for example.
Ill start with Scam ICOs in which ICOs projects will invite possible investors and then just ran and take all the money earn on the ICO. and not continuing the project.
and in some countries are ponzi scheme, in which your going to invest an initial amount and promised a larger profit for a month or so. but in the end its a pure scam.

Risk number one and the only one is loss, if people say get stress tell him stress came from loss. Maybe you already hear about stuck and hacked, for that problem I can say you are the problem. Know about the risk is basic knowledge and never enter market with out that, trust me.
