- #Susah untuk diprediksi

Cryptocurrency seperti Bitcoin, nilainya sangat dipengaruhi oleh tingkat kepercayaan masyarakat. Volatilitasnya bisa menjadi sangat liar.
Karena itu, sebelum Anda memulai investasi Bitcoin, Anda harus sudah memiliki tingkat kewaspadaan yang tinggi dikarenakan nilainya yang sulit diprediksi.
- #High risk
Although the level of security is quite high, Bitcoin is arguably vulnerable to hacker attacks. This is because Bitcoin is stored in an online "wallet" connected to the network, making it quite risky to be harassed by hackers.
Surely already know, if the transaction has happened can not be canceled? In other words, if your digital money has been transferred to another account, you can be sure you will not get it back.
To minimize the risk of losing your money, you can increase your Bitcoin security by storing it in an offline wallet or so-called cold storage. Save most of your digital money in cold storage, just set aside a small part in the wallet online.
