Every step or activity in life is all about one risk taking or the other, even sleeping and waking up is all about taking some levels of risk, let alone investment. There are risks in crypto so also other investment avenues. Whosoever that cannot take risk I don't think such a person can be successful in anything in life. Great investors and successful businessmen are risk takers. So in every step we are planning of taking, we should know that there are some amount of risk(s) associated with it, we just need to weigh the risks with the worth of such step, if the gain far outweighs the risks then we shouldn't be afraid and vice versa.
