I was considering the possibility of investing, but then I researched more and realized it would be a very risky decision. In addition to Bitcoin being able to take off at any time, there are other factors that could lead to a drop in the Eth price.
One of the biggest problems is that the eth network itself has many attack vectors, which is one of the reasons why it's in the fourth hardfork.
You are right this is totally risky! The best way to learn is by mistakes? Have you ever made a trade that lost value so bad it made puke? if not you are still a rookie
