I think bitcoin is not the best way to invest your money.  You still have a lot of options and decisions to make but the free market is the core of bitcoin, the reaction to bitcoin's value is the free market.  Fundamentally in my opinion, bitcoin is the hope to change the financial game - where the free market gets a free currency.  Hesitation is a normal state in investing but looking at bitcoin's value history represents a testament to the fact that bitcoin's real value derives from the beliefs people aspire to.
