Following the tangent over a year, BTC is still a good buy at $8000USD or less. If you have the money, I would recommend taking advantage of the "Sale" price before it finds its natural price based on inflation so far.
If BTC is looking to volatile for you, look at ADA. The rise from $0.002 to $0.30 per coin (with a brief "bubble" following bitcoin's climb) suggests that at least some investors are seeing the potential improvements Cardano is making in the cryptospace.
As always, I am not a financial advisor and cryptocurrency is a HIGH RISK investment. Never invest more than you can afford to lose 100% of and invest at your own risk.
