Risk limits come before a price chart

Start with the source

Bitcoin.org describes confirmation delays, fee conditions, and price volatility as distinct risks. Read the Bitcoin.org getting started cautions before using this exercise. The source explains the general process; check its date and any product-specific instructions before acting.

Work through the decision

Set a hypothetical maximum loss, time horizon, and reason for holding before looking at a price move. Do not turn an example into an allocation recommendation.

Write down what you know, what remains unknown, and what evidence would change the plan. Use hypothetical figures or a blank template if you are sharing the exercise with someone else.

Check the boundary

This practice note is educational. It does not establish a live market price, a guaranteed outcome, or a personal recommendation. For a real decision, verify current terms and seek qualified advice where appropriate.
