We are definitely not early in Bitcoin but we are early, very early in cryptocurrencies (look at market capitalizations, look at the media, look at Bitcointalk – Bitcoin has long been considered a real and credible asset, while others are perceived merely as shitcoins).
Although Bitcoin price is ridiculously high but I will have to agree with you that we are still early. Apart from it's market capitalisation, the years bitcoin has lived is relatively shorter than gold and other top stocks, yet it's price has surpassed them in just 17 year's. Bitcoin hasn't even gotten to its potential or limit with a very low supply. Anyone that wants to invest in bitcoin should not be worried about it's current price, just invest what you can afford and with DCA method for you to accumulate consistently. If you are able to hold some reasonable amount of bitcoin after years of accumulation, you will surely make profit out of it.. people are still neglecting bitcoin because they feel that it is too expensive at it s current price 80,000, if Bitcoin later gets to 200k above then regret kicks in and thry will start questioning themselves why they didn't invest at that 80k price range then.
We may never see Bitcoin's price at its beginning, but if we cannot buy Bitcoin at the current price due to that regret, then today's Bitcoin price can also be a reason for regret in another time. Since the supply of Bitcoin is limited, its demand is constantly increasing. Some consider it an investment tool, while others consider it a store of value because for some it is digital gold. As a decentralized platform and a trusted means of global transactions, Bitcoin has now become the most popular among people, which is why the demand for Bitcoin is now much higher than any other asset. If someone understands the importance of Bitcoin, then he will definitely try to buy Bitcoin according to his ability, no matter what the price of Bitcoin is. Despite Bitcoin's great success, only a few people know about Bitcoin, and a small portion of the world's population has invested in it. Since most people are still out of investments, I think this is a great time to invest.
