That depends on how long you are going to HODL your bitcoin. If you buy bitcoin now and HODL it for the next 5-10 years you are going to make a huge amount of profits. Imagine the people that bought bitcoin in the last 5-8 years? Those guys bought bitcoin around $100 to $200 range and yet they can now sell their bitcoins for roughly $8k minimum. Bitcoin is a very good investment for the long term.
5-8 years of risking the money you didn't own. Its more than a gamble if you think about it risking much money that didn't came from your own wallet and work and money that you need to return with interest. There is no assurance that bitcoin will still sore up in that span of year, we can't say if bitcoin will die in few years you must expect the unexpected too sometimes.
