Its not guaranteed that price will be higher at halving, as price is not moving up with a good pace, its stuck to $650-660 range, so buying at this price will be risky if price doesn't go higher at halving.
Maybe that the price won't increase much this year from the price today but I am quite sure that it will do so next year and the years after that as we progress through the years. Patience is needed.
Majority of people lack patience and last week when it touched to $780 it gave an additional hope to the people that $1k is easily possible now, but price started to go back again, so not sure what will be the price at halving.
