Cryptocurrency Trading Risks

Is cryptocurrency high-risk? Yes, it can be. Criminals eye digital currency because it promises instant profit. Law enforcement authorities in every major country are constantly on the alert for crypto scams in general and bitcoin scams in particular. They are the most dangerous cryptocurrency trading risks.

Knowing The Risks Of Investing In Cryptocurrency

Bitcoin Scams Are Inventive

Quite literally, operators of bitcoin scams think of everything. Want to commit suicide? There are Facebook pages advertising poison pills you can order by paying in bitcoin. Apart from the brashness and ghoulishness of it, the pills are fake. The bitcoin scam wasn’t. It was real. And the bitcoin that was paid (and lost) was also real.

Pump And Dump Crypto Scams

What made Pump and Dump especially viable for crypto criminals and especially dangerous for crypto investors was the glut in under-sold bitcoin alternatives (there were 45 of them by the end of 2017). By the way, speaking from his own experience, Belfort called cryptocurrencies “a wolf in sheep’s clothing.” He added that initial coin offerings (ICOs), the gateways for new cryptocurrencies, were “the biggest scams ever.”

Bitcoin Scam Investment Clubs

They may be popular, but the only ones who profit from online crypto “clubs” are the criminals who run them. Their sites certainly look legitimate. They’re sure to feature photos of satisfied members who claim they made megabucks by trusting the hidden cryptocurrency pros who stand behind the curtain.
But the last time you see your assets will be when you hand them over to these bitcoin scams.

Crypto Scam Exchanges

Fake cryptocurrency exchanges are easy to find. This type of crypto scam is all over cyberspace. They are especially dangerous for first-time investors, who will find it hard, if not impossible, to distinguish fake exchanges from legitimate ones. In December 2017, Korean authorities closed down one of them, BitKRX.

It purposely misrepresented itself in order to provide itself with a veneer of legitimacy. A fake exchange is a very useful front for a bitcoin scam.
