Is it time to buy BTC?

I am a complete novice. Plan was to use coinbase to buy BTC of about £1k and leave alone for a long time assuming that there is enough deep right now. I will then spend some time reading and learning about cryptos.

My intention is not to actively trade, just stick to BTC and buy every now and them and add amounts I am prepared to loose. if the market goes, great, I’ll sell some ….. I think I have spent enough time on the sidelines saying I was going to buy and doing absolutely nothing about it. I remember a friend telling me to buy crypto in year 2000 and I turned my nose up on the suggestion. Maybe sticking that £1k to £3k in now could be something in 20yrs!
