Worth it to buy ETH right now?

Ok ok ok, I know most of the replies here will say “yes hodl” but I am fairly torn, although I do believe it can easily 3x in a relatively short time period but also feel like it’ll be back at the 2.5-3k range after this cycle… I like ETH long term, but don’t wanna be stuck holding a bag of ETH at an average of 4.5k when the ETH price could very realistically sit at nearly half that till the next cycle / bull run.

Iv also been saying this since the price of 2.5k so maybe I should just say screw ur and hodl but would like opinions and thoughts
