We cannot really know the exact adoption numbers, yet many individuals are going to end up getting fucked because they are too slow to get themselves into bitcoin.
Right now we have some of the governments, institutions and rich individuals buying bitcoin and perhaps causing some folks to conclude that bitcoin adoption is higher than what it really is.
A lot of normies are going to be left at a disadvantage, and they will end up having to buy bitcoin at much higher prices, and even $250k is likely going to be a cheap BTC price in future years. Guys who are starting to invest now, and perhaps even needing to take 1-2 cycles or more to build up their bitcoin stash may well be able to get their bitcoin with an average cost that is less than $250k, since it can take a long time to build up a bitcoin stash, and each person has to figure out how much bitcoin that he needs, which is also a moving target.... and I personally, consider that figuring out your standard of living and then building up your bitcoin so that the 200-WMA value is 10x your yearly targeted income rate, then you will likely be able to live off of your bitcoin at that rate in perpetuity.
Yes, people who have not bought bitcoins today, if we look a decade ahead, I also agree that those people will regret it. Because now is the most ideal phase to start accumulating bitcoins, because currently the price of bitcoins can be categorized as still very cheap. So if you start buying bitcoins now, it is much better than buying bitcoins in the next decade. This does not mean that buying bitcoins in the next 10 years is a bad thing. But of course it will be a little difficult to collect bitcoins so that they can increase, because the price is certainly more expensive than now. So the point is buying bitcoins now is something that must be done, if we want to have a lot of bitcoin savings in the future. And DCA is the right purchasing method that can be done.
There's no late hour to buying bitcoin if not everyone who's investing in bitcoin just recently could also be seen as late investors. The longer you stay before investing in bitcoin, the longer you stay before benefitting from bitcoin. In most cases, bitcoin investment is always proportional, as it is expected to progress upwards, that's why we don't focus on dips. Do you now preach absenteeism from bitcoin investment at ATH? Every bitcoin price could be the Dip you've been clamouring for so there could be practically little or nothing to regret about the price but there would definitely be a regret as to what you could have achieved if you had started earlier.
We spread the News about bitcoin not to coarse anyone into bitcoin investment but to allow everyone see reasons to invest at their own time. The earliest birds to invest in bitcoin in the days of $15k could also see recent investors as time wasters but sure, it would never be heard.
