I have encountered others who are skeptic about this view of zero risk on bitcoin investment but to no avail has anyone been able to prove my points wrong.
If you have to consider the future uncertainty of bitcoin, on what basis precisely are you pointing at? The volatility aspect or future price assumptions such as we speculates based on our personal analysis that we still don't get it correct of it certain date and time of when it would happen? Of of course if that is what you tend to hold upon, that is not the case here because if if investors as I suggested earlier can take absolutely control of their emotions with the uncertainty, then what else do we fear? Or do you prefer the risk on the uncertainty that bitcoin may crash in the future?
I would like us to look into this. Perhaps it is debatable just as you saide.

I'll prove you wrong and it won't even be about the price of bitcoin because I believe that in the long time frame the risk is close to 0 when it comes to price appreciation alone.

THe deal is, you may not be able to protect your bitcoin in full. You have to buy it somewhere. Let's say you send money to an exchange to buy it and the exchange disappears. That's what happened to Mt. Gox, BTCe, Quadriga, FTX and many others.

You manage to get it to send it back to yourself and lose it due to a hack, virus, whatever, that changes your address. Even developers lost their bitcoin due to malware and hacks.
Here's one of the most famous cases: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/100tn95/bitcoin_core_dev_gets_more_than_200_btc_stolen/

You get it to a hardware wallet and lose it in a house fire, or somebody breaks in and takes it, or your envious girlfriend destroys it after a quarrel...

Shit happens and you aren't immune to it. There's always some degree of risk.
