Yes, there is a loss in business as there is profit. It can be beneficial to invest in any place, as well as loss and risk. Bitcoin prices rise in the market. If you increase the price then you can benefit, and if you take it down you will have to stand in front of the loss. So it can be said in the Risk.
I don't consider investing in bitcoin any risky activity now because it has an enormous demand and supporters. When an asset has a limited supply rather very limited supply and its users keep on increasing with time, then all the dangers vanish. If we were at the early stage, then we could have thought about bitcoin as some risky investment.
Yes, the risk is less if you invest in bitcoin today. 5 years from now it will give you a fortune. But of course we can never really tell what the future holds. But as we look the history and the trend, bitcoin is increasing in value and more people are going to use it in the future. So the more demand, the higher the price, the bigger the profit then.
