Generally, most people sees Bitcoin as being of high risk , meanwhile, others tend to disagree with the fact of being risky.
We can't dispel this fact as risk is definitely there...if you don't use good security measures to protect your coins then risk of being hacked will exist, if you use a hot wallet and happen to use a computer to surf the internet the risk of being phished does exist, and the fact the scammers and hackers are out there looking for their next target..risk will always exist.
Bitcoin can be understood from different angles on how it will become beneficial to one. Either as a store of value(So as to avoid taxes), Investment or means of payment.
Store of value to avoid taxes can never be the understanding of store of value, afaik this is in the lines of holding or locking in value to avoid a local currency from further depreciation because of inflation or whatever reasons!!
I believe there are a lot of different ways to invest your time and money, with a little work and the right teacher, one can easily invest in bitcoin.
Agreed.
