it is still higher than this time last year so what are we complaining about
Do you know bitcoin was $20,000 last year?
siclan is talking about the price before that, 20k all-time price mark just occurred in December, but before that, the price ranges from 1000 to 5000 USD which is pretty low. You can include the negative fluctuations in its price so it's still good that the price of btc did not fall under 5k, market cap is still 140 bln compare to last time which is 50 billion USD
just buy if prices go down and sell if they go up

With perfect timing, you can assume that it is the lowest or the highest price though it is not.
