Question about an investment

Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and such don't really have much to show you the risks of your investment. Like if you were to invest in stocks there is always a general knowledge base to give you information to make your own prediction, but with crypto its almost like a blind gamble. The prices can fluctuate without any predictions on whether it will go up or down. You could end up making a lot of money or losing a lot, and that's the biggest risk.

This probably wasn't very helpful but id also like to learn more about the subject.
