7.Risk warning

The participation in or purchase and selling of Digital Assets involves significant risk not generally shared with official fiat 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, these Digital Assets are based on technology and trust. There is no central bank or another entity that can take corrective measure to protect the value or manage the supply of the Digital Assets during a crisis.

Prices can and do fluctuate on any given day. Digital Assets may be subject to large swings in value and may become worthless. Digital Asset prices are susceptible to irrational (or rational) bubbles or loss of confidence, which could collapse demand relative to supply. Confidence might also collapse because of factors within the Digital Assets such as technical problems. That is, if the integrity of the system is compromised, if Digital Assets are lost or stolen, or if hackers or governments are able to prevent any transaction from settling.

There may be further additional risks that we have not foreseen or identified in these Terms.

You should carefully assess whether your objectives, financial situation, needs, experience and tolerance for risk is suitable for participating, buying or selling Digital Assets.
