Staying away from Bitcoin is one of the worst decisions someone could make. Of course you won't make as big as a profit compared to if you bought in 2012 but Bitcoin still has room to grow. The people that have no btc will be left behind so they should get in while they still can.
if you start by buying bitcoin now and hold for like 10 years or more you still be in massive profits like those people who bought bitcoin in 2014, because from this statement of yours above I see you are feeling discourage and you are regret why never bought back then in 2014.
