In my opinion, Bitcoin has significantly derisked since the ETFs were approved in the US and other countries. It can be volatile, so it’s best to invest with a long time horizon (minimum 4 years).

If you bought £1,000 of Bitcoin on the day that first question was posted (20 April 2016) it would be worth about £140,000 today.
