do you think it's wise to buy bitcoin now?
I'm afraid a little
If you can't look past your fear then you should NEVER buy bitcoin. The price is so volatile that there are unquestionably going to be tough moments and if you're afraid now you'll be so much more afraid then. Fear leads to mistakes.
You need to study bitcoin and understand your decision and then make a decision and stand by it. Be sensible but also courageous.
