It's not "a major gamble". That's ridiculous fear-mongering. Yes, it's volatile, but the ema only trends upward. So yes, you might lose a little, but you'll gain so much more. Plus if you keep your investment in an exchange and keep it in a stop loss order and keep your order set appropriately, you're protected from any outright crash.
So I'm able to have my investment and also mitigate my risk of loss. The only stipulation is that my stop-loss point is low enough that it won't be triggered by normal volatility. Also, as the market grows, there will be fewer people shorting, and the volatility will be capped by volume.
So the more people that pump in, the more stable it will become. It's a win-win situation. If the price goes up, I profit. If the price crashes, I buy in the dip and end up making more in the long run. The problem with BTC market is traditional financial market "experts" who can't see the forest for the trees. Adapt and overcome, or you'll get run over by a train.
This is nothing you've ever seen before, so stop trying to fit it into your box.
Key into cryptocurrency now that is still much affordable..... I will recommend Bitshares for future hodling....
