Of course, there is a little bit of risked involved in buying now... But I think it will be okay. And if you really want to gain a lot, you can't run with the herd. You have to buy when people are shitting their pants. Which is right now...
Amen to that. I'm still not sure whether I'm extremely confident or extremely stupid, but I'm pretty sure that things will turn out better than expected - even with a hardfork looming in the near future. Yet I still wouldn't touch the markets on July 31st, mostly because I don't trust exchanges to handle potential upcoming clusterfucks properly. Regardless of that I would expect the best prices to be from today until maybe the 28th of July. I don't expect the price to go much lower than 1800 / 1700 however. If you absolutely want to enter the market try to ease yourself in.
