I think the biggest risk is not understanding Bitcoin enough. There's so much happening and a lot of competing visions. It will take a lot of research to find which direction you think is right and to put your work behind it.

For me it’s the risk of bitcoin becoming very expensive and successful very quickly and a rise in targeted violence to steal people’s Bitcoin aka $5 wrench.

Some of the stories Lopp posts can be unnerving.

I think it’s a risk that increases with price but then can also be mitigated with new tools and technology like multisig / timelocks etc (where the tradeoff in complexity can make you more prone to error)

Overall however I think staying humble and under the radar is the best defence here beyond having guns etc.

I replied quantum but in a far future. The second for me could be government/tax since I never declared to the Tax office all the stupid messages I send to my wife with Lightning.

Being a noob, it probably would be mistake or mismanagement but I can't say which one it's gonna be, not certainly greed.
