Please don't offer investment advice; you can't predict what BTC will do. It's an even worse way to gamble than stock trading is.

Also anyone saying to buy, sell, or hold BTC is doing so out of self-interest. People saying to sell? They shorted BTC. Buy? They bought a bunch and want it to climb, they intend to sell. Hold? They have a bunch and are looking for that dank 10x - 100x duplication bonus.

Tell you what. I'll stop offering investment advice if you stop putting words in my mouth. :)

It goes without saying that BTC isn't an investment. It's speculation. But there's nothing wrong with this, and everyone comes to the table knowing the stakes.
