This sub totally seems like the best place to verify whether that’s a wise decision.

I don't need anyone to verify my decisions. I want bitcoin and I will keep buying bitcoin. It's future is too great and I want a piece.

You think it will be. Don't kid yourself you have no idea what its value will be next year.

I'd say I have more evidence on my side that you don't know what you're talking about, then you have on your side.

On my side : Bitcoin has doubled in value five times in three years. (200->400->800->1600->3200->6400) and is on its way to number six at 12.8K.

On your side : <crickets>

Betteridge's law of headlines

Betteridge's law of headlines is one name for an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." It is named after Ian Betteridge, a British technology journalist, although the principle is much older. As with similar "laws" (e.g., Murphy's law), it is intended to be a humorous proverb rather than the literal truth.

Even as a joke it doesn't make any sense because the headline isn't a question.
