Bitcoin's Market Value Surpasses Amazon: An Overview of Risks and Opportunities Faced by Retail Investors
Bitcoin's market value surpassing traditional giants is a double-edged sword for retail investors, bringing new opportunities while amplifying risks.
⚠️ Core risks faced by retail investors.
1, Volatility traps amplify losses.
Bitcoin's daily ±10% volatility remains normal (occurring over 15 times in 2024), and as market capitalization increases, the risks of liquidation from severe fluctuations (with over $30 billion in open contract value) and panic selling rise.
Case: Bitcoin plummeted 15% within 24 hours after reaching a new high in March 2024, with over 200,000 retail investors liquidated.
2, Intensified information asymmetry.
Institutions have on-chain data monitoring (e.g., Glassnode) and algorithmic trading tools, while retail investors are easily misled by market noise (social media calls, false positives).
