You should buy bitcoins now because it is pumping very slowly but surely. Look at the value today almost reaching forn$10000 and that was unbelievable and really great also. Yes hard fork is kinda alarming but do not mind it yet we still have couple of months to have a great investment and just trust it and have a lot of patience. Do not panic selling whenever the hard fork makes the bitcoins drops they will immediately rise up again after that because we all know bitcoins a lot of people are in to that nowadays and i hope that includes you.
