Anybody can loose money in bitcoin, but when you loose money you don't allow thinking or emotions affect you because being emotional to your losses otherwise it might have negative impact on you. But it is necessary to be very careful where you invest your money so that you don't easily loose your bitcoin. For example, there are people who loose their bitcoin by investing in ponzi schemes, some people also loose their bitcoin because they invested in the wrong platform, and others loose their bitcoin trading. So while loosing our bitcoin asset can be painful careful investment, and investing in the right place will surely reduce the risk of loosing your bitcoin.
In bitcoin investing hodling is the best, and reduces the risk of loosing your Bitcoin once your wallet is safe, and secured.
In principle, we always take a risk when we invest money in something. Absolutely any investment can carry risks, we can never guarantee 100% that our money will be safe. An investment itself can turn out to be unprofitable due to unforeseen circumstances, and we can also lose our money because of carelessness or fraud. And this doesnt depend on whether its an investment in bitcoin or any other option. Bitcoin is just one of the possible investment options that can potentially be profitable. But how and how responsibly someone manages it, what risks they are willing to take, and what decisions they make ultimately depends on each individual.
I agree. In essence, there isnt a single investment instrument thats risk free, including Bitcoin.
However, losses arent always the result of a drop in Bitcoin price, in some cases, they stem from mismanagement which is far more dangerous. As @AmaGold70 mentioned, these include losing Bitcoin to a Ponzi scheme, losing it due to a problematic exchange, or even sending it to the wrong address by mistake, resulting in its loss and the most extreme and absurd scenario is losing your own seed phrase. These possibilities always exist. Therefore, investing shouldnt focus solely on accumulation. Another crucial aspect is safeguarding your assets as best as possible to avoid/steer clear of anything that could potentially lead to the loss of your Bitcoin.
