not too sure why there is much doom and gloom.

Sure BU is a "threat" but bitcoin has faced many threats before and in the longer run it has weathered them all fairly well.
And as regards the price dropping? hell we were below $500 a year ago and nobody was saying they were going to commit suicide or by alts or whatever. Why so much noise about it dropping to $1000?

Except for a few months around the willybot period if you bought bitcoin over time it has served you well even if we go to say $600 for a while. It will go up again


Bitcoin has a huge number of manipulators in it with powerful armies of both funds and market influence so it will have periods of massive "uncertainty" as those people try to maximise their profits.


the best advice was what they said during the second world war to the british people  - Stay calm and carry on
