of course. the higher profit you get, the more risk you have. that is the rule and you must accept. but i believe that, the money will come to the people who trust and be patient enough
Being patient is key but it is not the only thing, many people do think that is enough and that is not true, you need also to get as much knowledge as you can so you can invest in icos or small cap altcoins, if you are able to become good enough at that then you are going to become rich without a doubt even if your starting capital is very small, it will take some time but it is completely worth it however if you go that route you also need to understand and accept that you can lose all your money.
In the crypto market there is no risk if you are well experienced and have knowledge about the market and the nature, actions and prices of cryptocurrencies.
If you are desiring for Bitcoin then go for it after getting all the knowledge and experience so that you may survive besides which all the other less valuable coins are available but without knowledge you can not survive so this is a risk if you are entering here without knowing anything.
