I think it's bad idea. Bitcoin's best days are over. It's still overpriced. I'm sure that in 2018 altcoins will grow a lot. I'd rather invest in Ethereum, NEO, Cardano, IOTA, Ripple and other promising altcoins.
Tell me why its a bad idea? It is bad because the best days of bitcoin are over, or the fact that he is asking advise something that involves money and he is not doing his homework?
Hello
Am I a novice and should I invest in bitcoin?
If I advise you not to invest are you going to follow? Bitcoin investment is not a trial basis. You need to do your research and homework instead of asking people around because most of them will tell you exactly the same answer. YES.
Just don't buy the hype, how many times we see novice bitching out here and losing their investment and panics every time the market is down? Good Luck to you though, and if ever you are ready, just invest what you can afford to lose.
