No chart can answer that. This page will not try.
What a chart can do is show the past. The whole past, climbs and crashes. Then you decide, calmly.
Fact one: the long climb. Pick any start day you like. Four years on, the price stood higher. That held for all 4,460 four-year stretches.
Fact two: the hard falls. The price fell by half or more seven times. The worst fall was 93%, in 2011.
Both facts are true at once. Any honest answer holds both.
The record is the past. It is not a promise.
The next four years are in no chart. The climb is a pattern, not a law.
Say you do buy some. Size it so a total loss stings. It must not sink you.
Many fans hold 5 to 10 in 100. The bold hold 10 to 20 in 100. Those counts are of saved dollars.
Use only money you will not need. Not for years.
Try this test on yourself. The price falls by half next month. Would you sell in fear? Then the size is too big.
