If you look at the date of this thread, it is the last few days of January when the price is still in the $30k'ish. But now it seems that market rocketed as others have put it. So when he open this thread, I would say that it is the right time to buy.
But with the way the price is going up this days, better wait till it settles down because you might be swept with the current hype and not make good profits in the future.
well, maybe at the time he asked, it was the right time. because of that, many people say that when you are ready to buy or invest, it is the right time, because you don't know what the potential will be in the future. well, even right now, if the person is ready, it could be a great time. it could be that the bitcoin price is back at $50k a few weeks or months later, and the altcoin price has gone up too. So whenever you're ready will be a good time.
Well the prices seems to be falling back to $41,000-$42,000 and who knows, maybe it can still go down again this month. So I would say just waited it out for the time being and see how it goes.
But as someone said, hard to time the market and if you are going to be a long time investor then it's not a question of what is the best time to buy, because it's always a good time.
