wow, this is so bad. why do it now and introduce complexity and debt if you can do it later when you actually need it? you are just riding the hype wave and trying to get most out of it but that's fine.

The same reason I don't wait until it snows to buy snowboots. I know my environment, topography, scale, risk-profile, and costs, and can concieve of innumerable use-cases for when they will be necessary, even if it's only May, when snowboots happen to be on sale ;) What's a little closet space and the burden of locking my door when I leave the house in the interim?
