There are always risks in business and if you want to make BIG gains then you'll have to take BIG risks too. In last few months, Bitcoin hasn't moved much up or down after the January's hype and dump. So I don't think engaging in Bitcoin puts us at any risk.
Yes I agree with you. Engaging in this industry of cryptocurrency is also kind of a risk and desicions. If you want to gain a large amount of money then you should also take a risk even if it is hard to you but you should do it to be able to reach the goal you've always wanted.
