What people see now recently is that BTC is more or less flatlined. Most people dont play the lottery to win a few bucks, they play to win the jackpot, seems like those days are long gone in Bitcoin. People realise this and can't be bothered any more.
It was never the purpose of Bitcoin to be a get-rich-quick, lottery equivalent without regulation though.
Lucky for you; this gap is now filled by shitcoins and crypto casinos - so if you hope to get rich with $100 in your pocket, there are options.
Personally, I'm super happy Bitcoin "got boring" and "flatlined", since this will long-term make Bitcoin look like a serious option as a currency and not just a small bubble or something way too volatile to be used. Its limited supply and halvings will also make it win over any devaluating currency in the long run, which is already better than most other investments.
