I would say that you can absolutely count on the 4-year BTC cycle giving it a higher price within the next 18 months than it's at now. It's important that you do factor that in, because I think it would change your decision making.

If you were certain that what is worth $5 now will be worth $15-$50 in 12 months, would you spend the $5 now or wait to do the project?

Unless there is some reason you MUST do this now, I would say you are picking a self-defeating time to begin. Focus on other things this next year, things that don't make you spend any more crypto than is absolutely necessary. Because we can absolutely count on the market in general being at least 3x higher in a year than it is now.
