****.cupidwhile they might have more-or-less potential dangers in terms of the economy, they holds more tantalising promise for the wellbeing of individuals and society as a whole.The main verb needs to be plural: "they hold." "While" needs to be capitalized.
Whilethe sentence reads well, I can't comment on whether or not it makes sense,
