No one is able to give you the answer to that, that's going to be based on yourself and only yourself to be able to decide what's best for you and everyone in your life. Though the biggest thing I say right now is if you could live with throwing the money down the drain, then please do enter the world of cryptos because big losses can be incured in a couple seconds and there's nothing you can do about it. If you're fine with entering a bull market and praying that this bull market is going to last then yes it's a wonderful idea.
Holding bitcoin for a long period I think is a good way of making money. For example, people that were able to buy bitcoin when the market value of Bitcoin was $200 to $400 would make a lot of money if they are to sell at current bitcoin price of $2,450 currently. And am pretty sure the price of Bitcoin will still increase not minding what the outcome of 1st August, 2017 meeting.
This is like anything else dude, you can't use it as a reason. Yes if I bought APPLE FUCKING STOCK when it first went on ICO I'd be an insanely wealthy man now. But, THATS WITH ANYTHING GOLD, SILVER, AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.
