Are you saying its too late to start buying bitcoin? I think you are wrong because the bullish trend is just getting started, what makes people lose money in last bullrun is because of greediness, the market never crashed instantly like those pump and dump projects, it goes down bit by bit and greed people still failed to pull out what they can
I don't think it's just getting started, it could sell off anytime soon as the Chinese New Year in the European countries is approaching. As in previous years, when there were occasions to welcome the new year or Christmas, the Crypto Market was immersed in a sea of blood. So Bitcoin will only hover around $ 18k5 - $ 19k5 in the coming days, but at the end of the year there will be a strong correction. If the selling is too strong, it could send Bitcoin into downtrend again.
