For me, this is kind of a huge investment, but should I actually do it?
What are the risks of doing this?
Yes, becouse if you want to grow your money, bitcoin is really potential for this. But there are still some risk in bitcoin, it is a new concept of payment system and the price is move so wild, you can get so many profit or suffer a financial lost. I also suggest you for only hold your bitcoin until the price rise or if you have a skill to do trade, you can do it.
