Possible risks of trading bitcoin 
 

  • Volatility
    Bitcoin experiences extreme price swings in short timeframes. These wild fluctuations can wipe out hundreds of dollars in value overnight, creating both opportunities and substantial risks.   
  • Uncertain future
    Despite growing mainstream interest, questions remain about bitcoin's long-term viability. Market perception and acceptance directly determine its value, with no guarantees for the future.   
  • Regulation threats
    New regulations could eliminate current bitcoin advantages. Government intervention might significantly change how bitcoin functions compared to traditional currencies.   
  • No safety net
    Technical failures, human errors and fraudulent activities can cause irreversible bitcoin losses. No systems exist to reimburse you when these problems occur, unlike with traditional financial institutions.
