OP I see you are a new bie here which means there is every possibility that you have little or no knowledge about bitcoin. I was of the opinion that you do a little research of bitcoin to know about and possibly knowing about the previous all time high bitcoin achieved so far. I bet you after doing it, your orientation and perspective on and about bitcoin would definitely change. If you can, fill your bag now while the deep last because after the halving, it would definitely get to another all time high coupled with the awareness and adoption going on globally and recognition gained over the years.
I wouldn't have such assumptions about him, but yes, his question could indicate his doubts about the potential that bitcoin will achieve in the future.
Personally I've decided that the bitcoin I'm familiar with is the best performing asset so far. Bitcoin has given me worth it returns, it is one of the facts that until now has made me even more optimistic about the future of bitcoin. Some of the contributing factors are decentralization, adoption growth, and real use cases. All of that will grow rapidly over time so investing now in bitcoin is a wise decision in my opinion.
