Agreed, and as a newbie, it would be best to start in BTC and ETH. How long would you hold it, be mentally prepared for it, and keep reading the news from time to time so that you wouldn't be tempted to sell it early. Also, it is always the perfect time to buy bitcoin, as we know it has a future. I recommend reading some expert news and analysis, joining forums and visiting Wall Observer prices of bitcoin to see what others think about the current price of bitcoin.
