Investing in cryptocurrencies can offer potential rewards, but it also comes with a range of risks. It's important for investors to be aware of these risks before deciding to allocate funds to cryptocurrencies. Here are some common risks associated with investing in cryptocurrencies:

1. Price volatility: Cryptocurrency prices are highly volatile and can experience significant fluctuations in short periods. While volatility can present opportunities for profit, it also increases the risk of significant losses.
2. Market sentiment and speculation: Cryptocurrency markets are often influenced by market sentiment and speculative trading. Prices can be driven more by hype and speculation than by underlying fundamentals, making the market vulnerable to sudden and unpredictable price movements.

Price volatility is actually the best thing about cryptocurrency, the only thing all crypto investors want from cryptocurrency is its price fluctuations, and they are investing on crypto in order to get profit through the price volatility, of course it is very risky and we all can lose our money from it but one of its advantage is its price volatility.

As we all know, the price of crypto currency is never stable. It could be on the rise today and in a blink of an eye the price value might be dropping. I believe the major risk in crypto investment is it's price value.

If you invest for a long period, then most of these risks disappear, because it is impossible that the price of Bitcoin will not increase in 10 years. It is necessary to select the assets in which you invest more carefully, then there will be no risks
