Crypto currency, such as Bitcoin, is a highly volatile asset class, can become illiquid at any time, and is for investors with a high-risk tolerance. Crypto may also be more susceptible to market manipulation. Crypto is not insured by any government agency including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). 

The commodities industry can be significantly affected by commodity prices, world events, import controls, worldwide competition, government regulations, and economic conditions. The precious metals market is extremely volatile, and investing directly in physical precious metals may not be appropriate for most investors. 
Prospective investors should be aware that investments in private funds or alternative investment strategies are suitable only qualified investors who do not require liquidity and who can bear the economic risk, including the potential for a complete loss, of their investment.
