What are the top risks for Bitcoin holders?
I think as a bitcoin holder, my biggest concern is that all countries around the world ban bitcoins, which is a bad thing for bitcoin. People will become less accepting of bitcoin, and its prices will get lower and lower. Now that the world has banned bitcoin, I hope my fears will not come true.
