The fearmongers are getting fewer and fewer in numbers which means the opportunity to buy at low prices is getting smaller and smaller. When these posters stop trying to spread bullshit about bitcoin being dead, failed or going to drop below 6k, then it will be too late.
When people say they wish they'd bought bitcoin when it was a fraction of the current price at that time, the reason they didn't buy it then is usually because people are afraid that it's too risky. By the time everyone wants to buy it, the opportunity has aleady passed.
I guess you weren't here last year. The fearmongering was kicked up in full gear back then, yet price was rising fast.
What we see right now is really mild and is nothing compared to what it was last year. But overall both the hopium, fear, FOMO, and FUD was in full swing from mainly there being much more activity back then.
