Yes, it really depends on how a person describe Bitcoin based on their perspective and experiences. If they profited a lot in Bitcoin and called it as a source of profit and some planning to have a long term investment from it so in the future they could have a financial freedom. Bitcoin could really gives a lot of opportunity to the people on how they manage it. But let's not sugar coat it and be biased on Bitcoin there would be a risk involved and won't avoid the losses in the process.
Sometimes someone is too complacent about Bitcoin so they ignore the risks that will occur.
These risks can make them turn around and stay away from Bitcoin. When at first they always had a good view of Bitcoin, they changed drastically when they experienced problems and some losses due to a lack of knowledge on Bitcoin investment.
Covering up risks will only make things worse. All investment instruments even have risks including Bitcoin as a decentralized digital currency which has higher risks.
In fact, I always tell everyone that Bitcoin is more risky than anything else, but it will also provide benefits for those who are serious.
