Yes, cryptocurrency can be a risky investment. The value of cryptocurrencies is highly volatile and can fluctuate greatly in a short period of time. Additionally, the regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies is constantly evolving and there is a risk of theft or loss due to hacking of exchanges. As with any investment, it is important to thoroughly research and carefully consider the potential risks before investing in cryptocurrency

here are a few more reasons why cryptocurrency can be considered a risky investment:

Lack of widespread adoption: Despite its growing popularity, cryptocurrencies are still not widely accepted as a form of payment and their usage is largely limited to speculative trading.

Regulatory uncertainty: Cryptocurrency regulations vary greatly from country to country, and there is a risk that governments may take actions that negatively impact the value of cryptocurrencies.

Technology risks: Cryptocurrency technology is still evolving and there is a risk of bugs, hacks, or other technical problems that could negatively impact the value of a cryptocurrency.

Liquidity risk: Some cryptocurrencies have low trading volumes and can be difficult to buy or sell, particularly in times of market volatility.

Market manipulation: Cryptocurrency markets are susceptible to manipulation and there have been instances of fraud and market manipulation in the past.

Remember, cryptocurrency is a highly speculative and volatile investment and it is important to carefully consider the potential risks before investing.

The crypto investment risks you mentioned will frighten (fud) novice investors, just like the whales did, so that retail investors sell all their crypto, and the whales will buy crypto at a low price.

Experienced crypto investors, of course, already know the risks of cryptocurrency, both Credit Risk, Regulatory Risk, Liquidity Risk, Market and Operational Risk, etc. Although there is no one right way to avoid the risk of investing in cryptocurrencies,

So as an investor you don't need to avoid risk completely, but at least investors can reduce the risk in the cryptocurrency portfolio. There are three strategies that investors often apply to reduce risk, namely stop loss and take profit points, risk/reward ratios and position-sizing.
