There is no such thing as too late to buying bitcoin when you're buying with a long term holding view which for the next bitcoin circle. People that get too concerned about the price making excuses of how high it has gone up to are those who want to invest for a short time and so they fear that they might not make profit from where price is.

Sometimes in 2024 $50k price was said to be high and considered by some as being late to buy but today to an ATH of $109k thereby making $50k that waa formerly considered too high and late to buy now a lower price that we can call the dip today. Same could happen in 3-4 years from now where we will call $109k a dip because by then price would have reached $200k and above. For those that has been following bitcoin price history will agree that no time is late provided you're buying for long time holding.
