RISKS
The trading of goods and products, real or virtual, as well as virtual currencies involves significant risks. Prices can fluctuate on any given day. Due to such price fluctuations, You may increase or lose value in Your assets at any given moment. Any currency, virtual or not, may be subject to large shifts in value and may even become worthless. There is an inherent risk that losses will occur as a result of buying, selling or trading anything on a market.
Digital Currency trading also has special risks not generally shared with official currencies or goods or commodities in a market. Unlike most currencies, which are backed by governments or other legal entities, or by commodities such as gold or silver, Digital Currency is a unique kind of “fiat” currency, backed by technology and trust. There is no central bank that can take corrective measures to protect the value of the Digital Currency in a crisis or issue more currency.
Instead, Digital Currency is an autonomous and largely unregulated worldwide system of currency firms and individuals. Traders put their trust in a digital, decentralized and partially anonymous system that relies on peer-to-peer networking and cryptography to maintain its integrity.
Digital Currency trading is probably susceptible to irrational (or rational) bubbles or loss of confidence, which could collapse demand relative to supply. For example, confidence in Digital Currency might collapse as a result of unexpected changes imposed by software developers or others, a government crackdown, the creation of superior competing alternative currencies, or a deflationary or inflationary spiral. Confidence might also collapse because of technical problems, for example, if the anonymity of the system is compromised, if money is lost or stolen, or if hackers or governments are able to prevent transactions from settling.
The abovementioned is not a closed list, there may be additional risks that we have not foreseen or identified in our Terms of Use.
You should carefully assess whether Your financial standing and tolerance for risk are suitable for buying, selling or trading Digital Currency.
Company uses banking providers in order to receive Your funds and to make payments. Our banking providers do not transfer Digital Currency, exchange Digital Currency, or provide any services in connection with Digital Currency.
COMPANY DOES NOT GUARANTEE ANY PROFIT FROM TRADING OR ANY OTHER ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE SITE. IN LIGHT OF THE RISKS ABOVEMENTIONED, WHICH ARE NOT A COMPREHENSIVE LIST, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER IF HOLDING DIGITAL CURRENCY IS SUITABLE FOR YOU DEPENDING ON YOUR FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES.
