No one is forcing you to buy or invest in bitcoin as its your ultimate decision and I even wished you waited till the time you would have gathered your guts together. In coming fully into bitcoin, you don't need to be ready financially enough but also mentally ready for anything that might come out as a result of that.

But the concern here is that you don't come back after one year to wyne about your regrets in bitcoin or how you should have followed your friend and couple of those threads that add no value to current situation.
