Risk Disclosure
Effective Date: April 17, 2026 Last Updated: April 17, 2026
This Risk Disclosure statement is an integral part of the AskAustin Terms of Service. Please read it carefully before using our Service.
1. Cryptocurrency Market Risks
Cryptocurrency markets carry inherent and significant risks, including but not limited to:
- Extreme Volatility: Cryptocurrency prices can fluctuate dramatically within short periods. It is not uncommon for prices to move 10-30% or more in a single day.
- Market Manipulation: Cryptocurrency markets may be subject to manipulation, wash trading, and other artificial price influences.
- Liquidity Risk: Some cryptocurrency markets may have insufficient liquidity, which can result in slippage and difficulty executing trades at desired prices.
- Regulatory Risk: Cryptocurrency regulations vary by jurisdiction and are evolving rapidly. Changes in laws or regulations may adversely affect the value of your investments.
- Technology Risk: Blockchain networks and cryptocurrency protocols may experience bugs, vulnerabilities, hard forks, or network congestion that can affect asset values.
- Total Loss: It is possible to lose your entire investment in cryptocurrency. You should never invest more than you can afford to lose.
2. AI Analysis Limitations
AskAustin uses artificial intelligence to generate market analysis. You should be aware of the following limitations:
2.1 No Guarantee of Accuracy
- AI models are probabilistic systems that can produce incorrect or misleading outputs.
- Historical data patterns do not guarantee future results.
- AI cannot account for unforeseen events (black swan events, regulatory changes, protocol exploits, etc.).
2.2 Data Limitations
- Market data may be delayed or sourced from a limited number of exchanges.
- On-chain data may not capture all relevant market activity.
- Data feeds may experience outages, errors, or gaps.
2.3 Model Limitations
- AI models have knowledge cutoffs and may not reflect the very latest market developments.
- Different analysis models may produce conflicting conclusions for the same data.
- Technical indicators and patterns are backward-looking and have varying degrees of predictive reliability.

AskAustin is an informational and educational tool. It is NOT a financial advisor, investment manager, or broker.
- We do not manage your money or make trading decisions on your behalf.
- We do not have any fiduciary duty to you.
