For me, this is kind of a huge investment, but should I actually do it?
What are the risks of doing this?
1,000 is not a very big amount for me. But I don't know about your situation. If you are a student or someone with outstanding loans, then I would advice against investing in Bitcoins. I agree that the exchange rates have increased by more than 400% during the last 12 months. But some of the analysts are saying that there will be a major correction very soon. So be careful.
