Bitcoin $100K in May? 3 Crypto Risks You MUST Understand First

So, the crypto oracle has spoken again: Bitcoin to $100K by May? Look, I'd love to believe it. Imagine the yacht parties! So before you re-mortgage your home and invest in JetBolt (JBOLT), Solana (SOL) or Injective (INJ), hold it right there. That’s the truth, but maybe it’s time to take a reality check. That’s the discussion we should be having — warning people about the hidden dangers.

Altcoins' Allure: More Than Just The Hype?

Everyone’s going crazy about how function, scale, and execution are going to fuel this altcoin craze. Okay, fair enough. Haven't we heard this song before? Remember ICO mania? Wishes for a blockchain-mediated decentralized utopia powered by vaporware and a whitepaper scrawled on a cocktail napkin? This time might be different. Maybe. But let's not pretend that good marketing and a slick website don't still play a massive role. JetBolt being “beginner-friendly” is nice and all—so was Pets.com, and you see where that left us. An anticipated Bitcoin breakout towards $100,000 will surely increase trading volumes and media coverage. This unprecedented wave of interest will place a larger focus on altcoins, pushing overall market bullish momentum. But this new visibility—and its promise—comes with more scrutiny and heightens the risks already inherent in investing in these digital assets.

Regulatory Wildcard: Uncle Sam's Watching You

Here's a thought: what if the real innovation in crypto isn't the tech, but the cat-and-mouse game with regulators? Today the SEC is engaged in a catch-as-catch-can crypto whack-a-mole approach. If/WHEN Bitcoin gets to $100K, just wait for them to break out the sledgehammer.

Think about it. Increased trading volume? More scrutiny. More retail investors piling in? More pressure to "protect" them. And would you believe that the fish end up in the crosshairs? Your shiny new altcoin investment. Even if Solana and Injective are legit, and even if they one day make their way onto major exchanges, that does not render them immune. And JetBolt's presale? That’s all the more reason for regulators to take a closer look. Immediate self-custody looks ideal on paper. You’re going to end up having to explain to the IRS why your self-custodied tokens disappeared in some unexplained smart contract exploit.

It's like the Wild West all over again, but instead of bandits, you've got government agencies armed with subpoenas.

Rug Pull Roulette: Is It Really Decentralized?

Let's talk about trust. Or, more accurately, the lack of it. I thought the whole beauty of crypto was decentralization, right? No central authority to screw things up. What does it mean when “decentralized” really just means a few anonymous developers with all the keys.

• The promise: "Democratized finance!"
• The reality: A rug pull, where the developers vanish with everyone's money.

A rising tide might lift all boats, but it will just as easily expose the teeming ones. The projected rise of Bitcoin to $100,000 is expected to increase trading volume, media attention, and market momentum across altcoins. But that tide can take you under in a second. You’ll land on the ocean floor before you ever get to say “impermanent loss.”

JBOLT's presale offers immediate self-custody of tokens, which is a good thing. It also means you are full burdened if that goes wrong. No FDIC insurance here, folks.

Unexpected Connection: It's like investing in a startup run by people you've never met, operating in a legal gray area, with a business plan written in emoji. What could possibly go wrong?
