Digital assets are speculative and highly volatile, can become illiquid at any time, and are for investors with a high risk tolerance. Investors in digital assets could lose the entire value of their investment.
The price of bitcoin is volatile, and market movements of bitcoin are difficult to predict. Supply and demand changes rapidly and is affected by a variety of factors, including regulation and general economic trends.
Bitcoin exchanges may suffer from operational issues, such as delayed execution. Digital asset exchanges have been closed due to fraud, failure, or security breaches. Assets that reside on an exchange that shuts down or suffers a breach may be lost.
Several factors may affect the price of bitcoin, including, but not limited to: supply and demand, investors' expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, interest rates, currency exchange rates, or future regulatory measures (if any) that restrict the trading of bitcoin or the use of bitcoin as a form of payment.
There is no assurance that bitcoin will maintain its long-term value in terms of purchasing power in the future, or that acceptance of bitcoin payments by mainstream retail merchants and commercial businesses will continue to grow. Bitcoin is created, issued, transmitted, and stored according to protocols run by computers in the bitcoin network. It is possible the bitcoin protocol has undiscovered flaws that could result in the loss of some or all assets. There may also be network-scale attacks against the bitcoin protocol, which result in the loss of some or all of assets. Advancements in quantum computing could break bitcoin's cryptographic rules.
