Holding cryptocurrency carries unique risks compared to other investments. Its volatility—Bitcoin swung from $68,000 to $93,000 in three months ending February 2025—far exceeds stocks (S&P 500 annualized volatility: ~18% vs. BTC’s ~60%). Regulatory uncertainty adds pressure; bans or taxes can erase gains overnight, unlike bonds or real estate, which face stabler rules. Hacking and fraud risks are higher—$1.7 billion was lost to crypto scams in 2024
