Only invest in an asset you're very familiar, understand and can accept the risk, if you force yourself because of someone ask you to invest in Bitcoin, you're do a very wrong step. But I can say Bitcoin is the best currency and might the best asset nowadays to invest.
I agree, take yourself some time to think if you are willing to take a risk. Why not study the Bitcoin before you buy, we investors should know where our money is going. We dont need to give you a reason to invest / buy Bitcoin, we are not promoting bitcoin. And if you are planning to buy just be careful and goodluck investing your money.
