it's never late in Bitcoin especially when a just a few halvings happened..
Well if you have an investment time horizon that is 4-10 years or longer, it would be difficult to assess that you are starting too late or that you are foolish for getting started.
In the last more than 10 years that I have been involved in bitcoin (and paying some attention), I know a lot of folks over the years who waited and did not do anything in regards to buying bitcoin and we have had a lot of all time highs over the last 10 years... and sometimes it takes a while to reach another ATH after an ATH has been reached, but other times when we have not touched the all time high for a couple of years or more, then it is likely that we will continue to have more ATHs for months to come.. Of course, nothing is guaranteed, but surely anyone buying bitcoin needs to be considering his investment timeline as an important factor, and then whether he is going to lump sum buy, DCA and/or buy on dips, and it can take several years to establish a position, no matter what the BTC accumulation approach.
Yup, I do agree that it doesn't matter which accumulation approach you are considering suitable the timeline matters, but for a person who is entering the market is starting to explore and finds it already at the peak time when he came to knew about it, rather than considering that time is gone I should look for something else, he needs to realize that on one peak to other, there are many zones/opportunities to accumulate and make a good average accumulation price, suppose that he takes the entry now and around 63k to 64k and after halving the per Bitcoin mining cost is gonna be around 46k to 47k and if market takes a healthy correction he follows the Buy the Dips or even DCA he stand a chance to buy at around 50k or 54k range or even lower just a rough idea. His current buying will even be worth it for his future accumulation.
On the same node JJG, we cant compare the current accumulation with the previous cycles as you know every time a surprising change occurs as it was $2.3T for the last ATH, and now already before halving at this point of the first Bull wave, we are already hitting new ATH. In the optimistic range of a 4-10 years timeline from 2024 to 2030 or 2034 even if we can expect some changes in narratives related to Bitcoin, we can just speculate as nothing is guaranteed with the current speed even those who used to say 1sats =1$ is not so for this timeline of 4-10 years.
Becasue now the market will grow exponentially by both capital and adoption, still, retail investment from all over the world is not getting the spotlight on Bitcoin.
TBH, at this point in the current bull run I think, I did many stupid things with my accumulation the first one was taking an early exit without realizing the potential risk of no re-entry chance, I did follow some strict plans but you know in greed and fear sometimes happens I did a booking of 50% at early 35k where I was supposed to book only 25% because it was my first target. What's gone is gone, Now even though I dont consider many portfolios and accumulation enough when I look at resources as a student I did own I think its not bad as well, even though I was able to do better.
