Is buying bitcoin too late?

[BenCodie]

Short answer, NO.
Long answer, depends on how much money you got to spend.
If you have 5k to invest, you can now buy 0.005 BTC. But few years ago, lets say 2017, you could have bought 1 BTC and have some change for 1-2 ETH.
So yeah, depends really.

I think you're living a bit far in the future there buddy haha...$5,000 will get you 0.05 BTC, not 0.005 BTC. You scared me for a moment I'm also surprised no one picked up on it so far!

To answer OP - Think of Bitcoin as your shield against the arrows of the economy. We are nearing the tipping point where Bitcoin is less so a vehicle to get rich, and more so a vehicle to protect yourself. In the long run, protecting yourself and surviving is most important.

If your short answer is NO, why would the amount you have available to spend on bitcoin relevant? I can't make sense of your statement. If bitcoin is still a solid buy and someone has 5k available, you say it doesn't make sense. But if someone has 50k available, then bitcoin is a solid buy again? Huh?

By the way it is not 0.005, but 0.05 BTC for 5k. But this doesn't change the fact that your statement makes no sense. Either something is worth buying or it is not, regardless of how much money you have available and in terms of bitcoin your statement is even less relevant because bitcoin is divisible into 100 million units as you know. Someone with 5k may not be able to buy a certain piece of art, but they might be able to buy a satoshi. Couldn't be further from the truth what you have posted.

Some people will think it is too late to buy bitcoin. It is not too late because just 6.8% among the people in the world have both cryptocurrencies. I do not say bitcoin but cryptocurrencies.

As of 2024, we estimated global cryptocurrency ownership at an average of 6.8%, with over 560 million crypto owners worldwide.

Is it too late to buy bitcoin? No. Bitcoin is like gold. Still it is not too late to buy bitcoin now because its value continue to increase after a very long time.

It is never too late to buy bitcoin. Although the price is currently very high, bitcoin has a good future and still offers the potential for great profits in the long term. It all depends on each person's perspective on the development of bitcoin. And I am sure that many people believe in blockchain technology and the potential for greater adoption of bitcoin in the future, so that the price can continue to grow and now is still the best time to invest. Moreover, now there is increasing institutional interest and the possibility of clearer regulations in various countries.

People's interest in Bitcoin is increasing rapidly, especially the new President of America is moving forward with his plan for Bitcoin, which is why people have faith in it. Meanwhile, leaders of countries in different parts of the world, including America and Europe, are talking about Bitcoin reserves. This is why the price of Bitcoin is sure to increase. It can be said for sure that Trump is working as he said in his election campaign. If his plans are implemented, the price of Bitcoin will increase many times. Those who can guess well about the future prospects will definitely be more profitable in Bitcoin investment. Moreover, the most common thing is that most of the people in the world who are away from Bitcoin will definitely accept Bitcoin at some point and those who invest now will definitely be ahead of those investors.

After a couple of days or not even a day or two, the altcoin that's been suggested plummeted resulting to the losses of many hype investors that just got in due to someone's suggestion without doing further research.

People are too careless because they think bitcoin is already expensive when in fact it is not, people think they will continue to buy if they know there will definitely be an increase even though it is bullish, but unfortunately their minds are diverted to altcoins that have no potential or think altcoin profits are much greater than bitcoin but the results are even a loss, this is due to their own mistakes.

In the next 4 years to come the current Bitcoin price of around $100k + will become a very low price and anyone buying at that time will consider now as the lucky time to buy Bitcoin at a low price, so yes, if you have the spare cash to put away for some time, Bitcoin seems to be the best assets, and please avoid shitcoins like meme coins and the rest of you are considering a long term investments goals, because memetics will disappoint you on the long term basis.

[shinratensei_]

as long as the total supply is capped which mean BTC is deflationary and it will stay like this forever, you don't need to worry about being too late because when you're considered late is when you can't buy one because it's so scarce.

I'm not gonna worry about being too late with bitcoin, back then people said $20k is too expensive for BTC now you see it at $100k and beyond while the price is mantained with good buying pressure.
people should be more concerned about buying the dips or finding the right entry than whether they are late or not.

do people also concerned when they buy AAPL stock despite valuation already reaching this high? no right?, same thing with bitcoin.

Bitcoin will be more valuable in the future, the current value of Bitcoin is not very high as Bitcoin is likely to be valuable in the coming days. Bitcoin is a long-term asset, and if held for a long time, it can definitely bring great success to an investor.
Meme coin or shitcoin will never give you anything good, because it can only disappoint you, and if held for a long time, it will disappear.
So those who want to invest for a better future, must definitely invest in Bitcoin. Only by investing in Bitcoin can you get a good success for the future.

and it does not only come from me personally and if we ask for the opinion of experts who have long read market developments, they still recommend continuing to accumulate BTC even though it currently looks expensive and it is better than buying Meme coins or shitcoins as you wrote above. Be patient and continue to increase the number of ownership and one day 2 BTC is enough to make us sleep soundly in old age.

Although many are also interested in memecoin, never compare it with Bitcoin. There are people who only like Bitcoin and will continue to increase the accumulation they have in the long term. But some people like both.
It is never too late to invest in Bitcoin. Maybe the price consideration is quite expensive, but we can have Bitcoin for a very small amount. So there is no need to rush to get a large amount. Just do it gradually and we can enjoy it in the long term.

First of all, it's okay and not too late to buy btc now, because bitcoin is a future asset. However, you need to understand a few things. Don't expect short-term profits, because no one knows what will happen next. Maybe when we buy it, the price is trending up, but in the long term it is still profitable.

Next, of course, don't use borrowed money even though btc is a future asset, but bitcoin is very volatile and debt is still debt that needs to be paid. Another risk is that waiting for the price to go up again can take months. This will stress you out because of debt later.

This is the last one, it's like the saying goes, time is gold. So in investing, if you don't use your time well, you will regret it later. In addition, as you said, many people and communities believe in blockchain technology and the potential for bitcoin adoption in the future will be even greater.

Practically buying btc is now too late base on the present price which already reach 100k$ it is very expensive now a days ,i think the best time to buy btc is during the year which its price is very low and that was year 2010 if i am not mistaken for now it os very risky investment because it os very high at price and we need a big amount of money to invest few coins.

Why it would be wrong?
We are in a position where the biggest ATH wasn't reached.
I would say it would be great to buy at the current price.

The current price of Bitcoin is increasing very rapidly, due to which the popularity of Bitcoin is also increasing rapidly. We haven't seen much bullish news about Bitcoin from the new US president yet. They only mentioned accepting Bitcoin reserves but they haven't implemented them yet. A few days ago we saw on Twitter that their bank will accept other cryptos including bitcoin, if that is the case then maybe that will be a good aspect.

Those who can guess well about the future prospects will definitely be more profitable in Bitcoin investment. Moreover, the most common thing is that most of the people in the world who are away from Bitcoin will definitely accept Bitcoin at some point and those who invest now will definitely be ahead of those investors.

In order to be more profitable in Bitcoin investment, you must be experienced and the investment must be maintained for a long time. Those who benefited from investing have long prolonged their investment, even they still retain their investment. For example, MicroStrategy, El Salvador and BlackRock have been investing in Bitcoin for a long time even though they have already seen success from their investments.

Totally.
Once you understand Bitcoin - you won't take it for any other thing on the market.
And you will definitely not trade/invest in it for a short-term gain.

Investing in bitcoin in long term is good but some people also trade it. Just that it is not good to use all your money to trade bitcoin but you can use a very small amount of money like out of 100% of your money for it, you can use 5 to 10% for trading so that if you lose the money, you can easily forget about it. Investment is the best if you are patient but some traders can also make money, especially when the market is more bearish. Trading is riskier and can lead to loss of money for most people. It required patience and good money and risk management.

My short answer is that BTC is currently still in the early stages of global adoption. So, considering buying at a fair price and adjusting the market price is an additional plan besides doing it gradually. The cheaper the price, the more the collection will increase. The most important thing is how far we understand the target of the BTC price movement itself, meaning that the growth room is still quite large if you want to think about it for a moment.

If you compare the current price of Bitcoin with the price of Bitcoin in 2010, of course there is a very big difference and I think you yourself also still do not dare to buy Bitcoin at that time even though you may have known it because at that time very few people really believed in Bitcoin.

While for now there are so many people who believe in Bitcoin so the sense of daring to buy it is also very large because they have seen quite accurate evidence through the increase in the price of Bitcoin itself. And even though you have to use the funds you have because in terms of buying Bitcoin you can also use a small amount of money, what is clear is that now must also be considered a good time to buy before the price of Bitcoin becomes 2X from the current price in the future.

in dec 2023 it was 43k  13 months later it is now 100k.

so if you buy it now at 100k

say 0.1 btc or 10,000 in 13 months you could have 23,500 usd

So I would say based on the last 13 months it is not too late.

As 10,000 to 23,500 in 13 months suits  most people

[khiholangkang]

This question is a common cliché question and is often permitted by many people here or people who are outside the forum, are we late? Until whenever I will say it is not because Bitcoin will continue to grow, grow and grow over time in this world, the adoption of Bitcoin is not so big, people who enter Bitcoin today or institutions and government are those who are still trying to enter Bitcoin, They do not have a great confidence in Bitcoin, but I am quite confident that the running of time Bitcoin will be very trusted by the government as one of the assets they need to hold in the progress of the financial industry as it is today.
