Dude to be honest with you the price of Bitcoin now is really expensive even though it hasn't gotten to half of it's future value but currently now it is expensive and the people that sees it to be more and very expensive are people who don't understand the benefit of investing and holding, and some think they can't buy little by little because they don't have an idea. However, traders doesn't actually look at the price of Bitcoin or how expensive it is all they do is look at the market, carry out there analysis and suggest the possible result or the possible movement of the market. In as much as our income are not the same hence Bitcoin will continue to be expensive to some individual and not only to some individual but also to some investors.
You're also among those who consider bitcoin to be very expensive based on your explanation, but you can only consider it to be expensive if you do not truly know what it means to hold bitcoin, or that idea of picturing bitcoin to be expensive is based on comparing the past price of bitcoin to what it is currently; if you are calculating the missed opportunities that you could have used to accumulate and you missed those, then you will consider it to be expensive.
But since Bitcoin is divisible in nature, you can purchase a little unit of it with what you can afford, hold it, and the value will keep on appreciating over time. If someone keeps considering Bitcoin to be expensive, then they will never buy a single unit of it. Holders are the people who don't consider it expensive—not even traders.
