Better off buying gold or investing in stocks. If you have like $500-$1000 to just throw away, why not just throw Bitcoin in some cold wallet storage and hope for the best. I truthfully think you will be very disappointed though. More regulations, startup businesses, and worldwide knowledge about bitcoin has grown significantly. Its great to witness, but in part I believe this has caused the price to become more stable. Some people rather have a stable Bitcoin price, but if you are looking for that pipe dream of turning your investment into riches I think those days are over for good with Bitcoin.
