It's true that the risk attached to Bitcoin can be reduced to the nearest minimum when held for a very long time, but that doesn't mean that it has no risk, and by saying that Bitcoin is not risky anymore is misleading in my own opinion, so do not ever use such statement on newbies that are trying to invest in bitcoin because that's the worst way to preach bitcoin to a novice, in order not to be held accountable if things goes wrong for them in the future while they are investing in bitcoin.
When I say that bitcoin is not risky investment, it doesn't mean that newbies start to sell everything and put into bitcoin. I meant to say that they should invest in bitcoin for long term and with the extra money they have. For example, if one is willing to invest in property, he can change his mind and invest that money in bitcoin.
OfCourse, such person should understand that bitcoin investment may not be fruitful immediately but in the long term (5 to 10 years) it can give better returns than property or any other investments. Even if you invest in gold, the ROI in 10 years time may be less as compared to bitcoin.
People often get emotional when they hear some certain things or people use some certain words. I share your opinion, with the standard bitcoin has set and the way it’s going, the risk level has dropped. When you invest for a long term there’s little to no risk attached, all you have to do is keep accumulating. As a newbie who wants to invest you just need to have discretionary funds and basic knowledge of bitcoin and how to buy, whether someone tells you it’s risky or not is not important. Planning for emergency funds while investing is what’s important to protect your holdings.
Even with the historical performance of bitcoin people are still wasting time to invest in bitcoin, people often give unnecessary excuses, for things they don’t fully understand.
