It is not still too late to invest in bitcoin. When the price was $12, some people will say it is too late to invest in bitcoin. When the price was $1000, some people will say it is too late to invest in bitcoin.
Charles-Tim is right, if you don't invest now, you'll keep thinking every bull cycle that now it is too late to invest in bitcoin. Even people were saying when the price was $10K that it was too late to buy bitcoin, now it is $40K.
Just buy it now. You may incur a short-term loss for a couple months or a year or two, but eventually during the next cycle it's going to pay off, just like it did in 2013, 2017, and 2021.
