I would buy it, along with some altcoins. I hold a bit of ether, bch, and litecoin, in addition to a ton of btc, and am looking into dash, monero, zcash, and ripple.
I don't see the scaling issue/tx fee/block size debate being a bitcoin-killing issue (and apparently neither do the bitcoin core devs), but it's obviously pushing attention and transactions onto smaller blockchains, and that's only going to continue as tx fees rise. I think bitcoin will be around for a long time as a store of value, but other cryptos are already behaving more like "currency" than BTC (bitmain is only accepting BCH last time I checked!), so being diversified into the larger crypto ecosystem seems smart right now.
The problem with any crypto (except ripple apparently?) is that no single blockchain can support every transaction in the world, no matter the block size or frequency. So any blockchain that gets popular will end up with high tx fees and people will start using newer blockchains to do smaller transactions.
