Every kind of trading is risky. Bitcoin has a very small market cap, so fluctuations are frequent. Bitcoin is often considered one of the most attractive currency for trading, due to high volatility. But there can be a risk of scams and fraud. So choose wisely.
I would only agreed on you that trading would only be risky if traders don't have enough proper knowledge in doing trade. But if you know the process of doing in the trading platform, well I guess the world "RISK" I think has no space anymore. But the risk that they are talking about for what others said here, if your prediction is wrong, everything you had for sure will disappear at once in just a matter twinkle of an eye only.
