The "am I too late" question that literally everyone asks about Bitcoin (and why it's kinda missing the point

saw that post asking if it's too late to buy Bitcoin at $117k and honestly this question comes up every single cycle. when it was $1k, people asked. when it was $10k, people asked. at $60k, same thing. now at $117k, still asking.

but here's the thing about "too late" nobody knows where the top is. could be $200k, could be $500k, anyone saying that they know is lying.

what I do know is that asking "is it too late" usually means you're thinking about it wrong. you need to ask "do i understand what i am buying".

if you're just now learning about Bitcoin in 2025, you're probably not early but you're definitely not late either. we're still in the phase where most people don't own any and governments are figuring out how to regulate it.

saw a post mentioned feeling overwhelmed by the complexity in 2017 and now cursing himself for being "too late". honestly that barrier to entry kept a lot of people out. now you can buy Bitcoin on any major platform in like 5 minutes. that accessibility means we're probably still in the adoption phase, not the "everyone already owns it" phase.

the bottomline is that it's never too late to buy, if you are patient enough and have a stomach for long term. Of course there may have periods of price dips. but if it rises again we will see another wave of questions asking whether it is too late to own bitcoin.
