Spend only what you can afford to lose.

But if you're reasonably confident the value will continue to rise, you could:

- Gradually sell off a partial amount to (eventually) recover your capital. Everything after that is risk free... but not necessarily facepalm free.

- Set long term sell orders that will automatically sell off enough to recover your capital if the price crashes. Again you could be facepalming if the order is too aggressive and a momentary dip triggers it
