For me, this is kind of a huge investment, but should I actually do it?
What are the risks of doing this?
it is too risky to buy bitcoin because when the price is not higher than when you buy it, you will lose price of some coins.
when the price is high. I recommend you to buy bitcoins on that fiat price when the price of bitcoin is down. I think bitcoin price is not so high in March-May. you can buy bitcoins on that months. just see the price before buying bitcoin.
