Have sufficient amount of knowledge first before you start thinking to invest at your own risk. That way, you will gain clear understanding on bitcoin and its market and why we are predicting another bull run in the process. I understand that as a newbie, your knowledge is only limited or some are actually know nothing about bitcoin. That's why you have to take your time studying more on bitcoin and its stuff, rather than being left behind and will only miss opportunities to invest in bitcoin.
Indeed, holding investment assets that are very volatile can feel quite scary, especially for newcomers and what you said above is a sentence of encouragement and what is certain is that BTC will always be there and its value will get better in the future, I really believe this.
Holding assets are indeed scary because we really don't know what will happen to it in the future. But it's more scary in the beginning of Bitcoin and that's why many have sold it already and then regret their decision. As compare to the last 7 years as most of us here could have joined that time and now we are full of experience and we know what Bitcoin can bring to us, despite it's volatility - profit in the future. And one thing that can go for those newbies right now and that we can advise them to just HODL and accumulate based on our experience and never doubt that the market will soon go on a parabolic rise, a bull run that we haven't seen before as there is a huge chance that we might see $100k in the future.
