when people give you advice, their intention may be good for you, but unknowingly to them that they have temporarily or permanently made you lose a lifetime opportunity that's if you listen to their advice. after listening to individual advice, it is your duty and decision as a person to filter the advice before making use of the ones you see that will be helpful to you. There is no harm in trying new ideas, just imagine, if I had attempted such innovations, even if is with a small amount of money, may be by now I would have been rich.
You are not too late and you can now make your decision because still have time to enter. But maybe you will make a new topic about your mistake if you miss this opportunity. After halving we can predict a huge pump.
After all it's your life and the decisions are your. You must have knowledge about others advise and research more to know about what you are going to do. So before investing everyone should have at least basic knowledge about his investment and it's a must. If you could learn about the advantages and the risks of investing in Bitcoin. it will make your investment as a potential investment. Without having knowledge will make your decision more worst than gambling. And Bitcoin investment isn't a form of gambling at all. So Now I think you are conscious about your decisions.
Best wishes for you OP.
