There are five risks in the use of Bitcoin:
The risk of Policy
...
The risk of the law
...
The risk of Speculation
...
The risk of Money laundering
...
The risk of Substitution
...
Everything has risks. Bitcoin is no exception. It's a double-edged sword where people can use it for either good or bad things. I think Bitcoin's biggest risk is the "risk of the law". Governments are devising regulations in order to "tackle" the growth of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin can be legal in some countries right now, but that's subject to change. It's the day where KYC/AML is enforced at centralized exchanges, greatly defeating the purpose of crypto/Blockchain tech. But governments can prevent people from acquiring Bitcoin if criminal activity grows at an alarming rate. Their main excuse would be to prevent money laundering, tax evasion, and terrorist financing. After all, governments don't want people using something outside of their reach. We should learn to live on with these risks, and carry our lives as usual. As long as Bitcoin remains decentralized, nothing else matters. Just my thoughts
