I have a strong feeling that bitcoin can give me good returns in future so I would choose to invest in bitcoin as the price is too volatile so I can earn a good profit from it.
Depending on bitcoin too long is not a wiser thing to do, as you said the price is too volatile anything can happen in future, either bitcoin can make you super rich or you loose everything.
Yeah investing in bitcoin is too risky and if you can afford to take that risk then you can surely invest into it, but I would choose gold as it is more stable and it can give me good returns in long term.
