Go ahead, throw you money away chasing a dream to get-rich-quick. Reality is that the party is over.
I'm not in this to get rich quick. Yes, you can make much nicer money than traditional banking/savings/investments, but the days of 10000% gains are over.
I'm in this because I believe in the technology. Blockchain technology is changing and will continue to change the world. I believed this at $20k, I believe it now at $7k, and I would still believe it at $1k.
Let's check back in 10 years, and see if blockchain technology is still around.
Nobody is disputing that blockchain technology is going to be important in the future. The question is, will Bitcoin be important? I have my doubts.
