The main risk in cryptocurrency?

[Irish]

Hello, I want to ask.
In your experience, what risks are the main problem in crypto. Besides price fluctuations. Please share your experiences according to what you have experienced until now. Thank you for your time.

For me, the biggest problem is that we do not know when the cryptocurrency market will disappear. We are just market participants, but the market is controlled by other people. But I think that this will not happen. This market is very important to all of us, so it will only grow.

If we enter the world of cryptocurrency it is very high risk, and do not consider it easy if we want to trade in it, because people can get rich quickly because of cryptocurrency and people can easily be poor because of cryptocurrency, so cryptocurrency is a very high risk investment.

There will be at risk on all investment on all crypto coin that we have now but we should still be vigilant on all our token. Many people are a little bit scared on there investment specially on not so known coin.

There are many risk in cryptocurrency : cyber risk, lack of regulation, uncertainty as well as the slow adoption by business.

To me the main risk is security.  When there are security vulnerabilities it affects the cryptocurrency market. Let's see the hack issues lately,  who wants to see his funds lost in the thin air because the exchange is not secured enough?  The scam in cryptocurrency can easily be handled

The risk if we invest in cryptocurrency is that our funds can run out because the value we buy in crypto will shrink, so our money will decrease in value, but if we succeed in investing in crypto, then we will be people in a short time, and even then it depends on the funds we invest,

In every investment there is always a risk that must be faced, whether it's a small risk or a big risk, in the cryptocurrency the risks faced are very large because the volatility in cryptocurrency is very high, so if we invest in cryptocurrency it's easy to get rich, and also easily become poor.

For me, the main problems are, you are responsible for your money, if you lose them, no one will return anything and the second is security, there are too many hacks.

One of the risk if you invest in cryptocurrency is Cryptocurrency Scams Unfortunately, cryptocurrency scams are widespread. For a new investor, it’s easy to get sucked in. Statistics show more than $2 million was lost to scams in the second quarter of 2018 alone. The two most commonplace scams are fake ICOs and Twitter bots. ICOs are the crypto version of stock market IPOs. And like an IPO, they require considerable due diligence from a would-be investor. Sadly, many people don’t perform sufficient research. Scammers have been quick to respond. They create hype around a fake IPO, but once you transfer your cash, you will never hear from them again. Twitter bots are designed to look like official accounts. They typically promise to pay you a fixed amount of a particular coin in a few days in exchange for a small deposit today. They are all scams—avoid at all costs. You also need to keep an eye for Ponzi schemes branded as altcoins. Some of the most famous include Bitconnect, OneCoin, and Plexcoin.

If we invest in cryptocurrency we will get rich quick, and we can also get poor quickly depending on how you take advantage of the moment in the cryptocurrency, that's what will happen if we invest in cryptocurrency, a high-risk investment.

One of the risk if you invest in cryptocurrency is Exiting the Markets, There may come a time when you want to sell your crypto assets and hold your wealth in fiat currency instead. Unfortunately, the crypto market’s “off ramps” are troublesome for a lot of investors. Yes, the situation is improving, but it’s far from ideal. There are a few factors which contribute to the complexity:
Many crypto exchanges only allow withdrawals in USD. Some also allow GBP, EUR, and JPY, but the choice is minimal.
Exchanges frequently require high minimum withdrawals with withdrawing to fiat.
Lots of exchanges that support fiat withdrawals only accept a few highly mainstream cryptocurrencies. For example, Coinbase—one of the most popular ways to buy crypto in Europe and North America—only supports Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash.
In order to withdraw fiat money, you typically need to go through an utterly tedious verification process that can take months.
Some exchanges have been accused of withholding funds for vague and nondescript reasons. Lawyers sometimes have to get involved.
So, what does that mean for you?
At best, you might be exposed to multiple exchange rates to withdraw your funds into your domestic bank account (for example, IOTA > Bitcoin > USD > GBP), thus introducing uncertainty into the value of your assets and increasing risk. At worst, your crypto assets might not be available if/when you need them.

Every action must experience the name of risk. In accordance with the benefits generated, I don't think the risk in the crypto world is surprising if the risk is also quite large. Besides the missing funds, we also have to be ready to lose the investment that has been entered because we panicked in making a sale transaction.

One of the risk if you invest in cryptocurrency is Market Manipulation
Although it’s never been conclusively proved, it’s widely assumed that insider trading, collusion, and market manipulation is rife across the crypto sector.
Indeed, experts now believe that the huge crypto rally in the second half of 2017 was primarily driven by a small group of people with vast crypto assets working in tandem.
Even on a day-by-day basis, there’s plenty of evidence that points to manipulation. Coins shoot up by dozens of percentage points over the space of a few hours, only to dramatically fall back to their previous levels the following day. These incidents are referred to as “pump and dump” schemes and take advantage of people’s fear of missing out.
Sell walls (accumulating coins cheaply ahead of positive news) and dark pools (anonymous trading away from exchanges’ eyes) are other common market manipulation tactics.
Because crypto is so unregulated, all these morally-questionable schemes are harder to prevent. Nonetheless, they create a considerable amount of risk, especially for novice investors who are not familiar with the underlying market mechanics. If you fall into one of the manipulators’ well-laid traps, you could take a substantial financial hit.

I think that main risk is scam and dead coin... there are many good coins that initially have good liquidity and then after 1 year they simply disappear because no one trade them...
