How about when the coin has split? We don't know what's going to happen on August 1. We don't know how will SegWit activation affect us. The days when you can simply hold your bitcoins and earn profit after a couple of months is already over. The scaling issue is being solved and it can greatly affect the price.

Bitcoin investment is risky right now because of the new update. I want to advise that you use an altcoin to avoid the price decrease of bitcoin. When the price of bitcoin has decreased a lot after August 1, bitcoin holders will be devastated but the price of altcoins will increase. Otherwise, if altcoins' price decreased instead, then it's okay. That's the small price to pay for trying to be safe from the incoming wave.

Bitcoin is trending in the present market and also increasing the value of bitcoin. No risks at all in bitcoin investment. Buy and use bitcoins and spread its technology in your regions.

I think there is only a little because if you will study the nature of bitcoin you can see that investing on bitcoin is really good. Bitcoin for long term will make you an instant millionaire. Don't hesitate I'm saying that start now in investing on bitcoins. Make every time count.

I think bitcoin  will be good in future and number of people want to invest on it for future use.if bitcoin price will increase than we  will get benefits and gets the more profits,here we have some changes to decrease but decreasing is not an permanent,we have to wait to increase.

most people will says bitcoin is good as the future investment but the risk still high especially for the wallet itself and normally for long term investment people will save their bitcoin at offline wallet but there is some people did a dumb acts that they losing their access to their wallet because got hacked or losing their private keys then automatically they're already lost their bitcoin so in my view even the price of bitcoin will grow but the risk still high

I just wanted to know that,what amount of risk is there in investing in bitcoins.
Right now i am planning to buy btc approx 3-4 btc and just hold them as i guess the price of bitcoin will increase in future and i will get some good profit.But i want to know what is the risk involved.Can bitcoin price decrease and is this right time to buy the bitcoin.

everything in this world have its own advantage and disadvantage and just like bitcoin,there are greater risk involve and that is why you must be careful not to put all your money into bitcoin ,the price is been driven by speculation and sometimes you can buy at higher price and immediately the price will start falling which can cause panicking and lead you to sell at lower price and this will bring you a loss of your hard earned money,also there is speculation of bitcoin been  divided unlike ETH and ETC and if this happened,the price of bitcoin won t remain the same and investor will loss their hard earn money if this happened
