The truth of the fact is that there is never any time late to invest in Bitcoin, but just that the problem has always been the users ability to hold on for dear life (i.e HODL), which also means the users ability to hold he/her Bitcoin investment for a very long period of time. Because I'm sure you must have heard the famous story about "Bitcoin Pizza", which is all about a guy who paid 10,000 BItcoin for just mere 2 pizzas back then in 2010. So imagine if had this man kept his 10,000 BTC til today at current price of $34,000 per BTC. By today that man would have been a proud holder of $340 million valued of BTC in his wallet.

Henceforth, it's not all about when you bought your BTC, but how far where you able to hold for long that matters.

Please don't allow anyone to deceive you because you're not late to the party and whoever said that does not know what Bitcoin really is. I didn't know about Bitcoin until lately and I'm happily buying at any slightest opportunity. The fact that you didn't buy during the early stage doesn't make you late. If bitcoin price could rise from few cents to $35k, imagine what the price could be in the next 10 years. So you can start your Bitcoin journey which is going to be an interesting ride by buying a lump sum or through DCA.

What makes 2018 the last chance for someone to buy some bitcoin? Does bitcoin have a specific year that it will only last? Or does it have some sort of highest price, and when that price is reached, there is no more hope of growing again? Providing that bitcoin doesn't have any of this, you are so much allowed and have a full chance of buying and starting to hold bitcoin, considering your age as well. I think you will still be alive and strong when you start enjoying the fruit of your investment in bitcoin if you start now.
 
Or is your place for investment just for a short time holding and then taking profit and leaving? If yes, then I think the era of the quick pump is actually a bit far gone, as the bitcoin price seems to take its time to grow during this period, but nothing still seems impossible. The price can double any day when you least expect it, but that one will be to your advantage if you don't put all your hope and expectation on it.

That's simply stupid and I can prove it to you.

In 2019 you could still buy bitcoin for 4000 - 5000 dollars.
In 2020 after the crash it was at that level again even if you did not buy exactly at the bottom you had weeks to buy before it reached 7000.

Doing that would put you in over 1000% profit in 2021  and would keep you at 400%  or more profit for the rest of the time.
Making 50 000 in profit from a 5000 dollar investment is not a small thing. No other investment offers such returns.

If we assume that next bull market will end with a new high, we're talking at the very least about 300% return in 2 years if you buy now.
What can you compare it to that will give you even half of that?

Don't be so depressed. You know now, so plan for the present and the future, don't waste time regretting what you did or what happened in the past. It is true that if anyone had known earlier about Bitcoin or that Bitcoin would be the way it is today, maybe everyone would have taken their strategy on that way. But no one knows what is going to happen in the future, you may be thinking that you are too late to know bitcoin or to invest in bitcoin, this may not be the case if you look at the previous records of bitcoin, how much has bitcoin pumped in every bull season.
In comparison, Bitcoin is currently at about half of its all-time high price. So I would never say that you are late to invest. If you see those who are currently holding from 2013 or 2017 are holding for a huge time. I will tell you that you can currently invest your idle fund in bitcoins and also since you are a student you can hold a certain percentage of your pocket money every week or month by DCA management for long term. If you can continue investing like this, I hope you can get a good profit in 2025. Moreover, you can try to hold for a longer time, of course, by DCA management, which will reduce the risk of loss of your investment.

You are too pessimistic about what the expert said, yes usually people always look back at what has happened but they never look forward to how bitcoin will grow even bigger, maybe now you think $34K is too expensive - if you know bitcoin reaches $100K then you don't buy it you will regret it.

Why are you depressed? Is it because you see the price getting higher and higher? Experts do invest more but many in 2013 did not realize investing in bitcoin.

For you it is too expensive, while for me it is still low.
Hey buddy you in 2010 were still 7 years old how could you understand about bitcoin? The age at that time was only happy when playing with children in general.

Learn bitcoin, then buy.

It's never too late to invest in Bitcoin, my friend. However, it's better to rely on accurate information rather than following social influencers who might sometimes provide misleading details about Bitcoin. You might be feeling FOMO (fear of missing out) at the moment, but there's no rush. You can invest in Bitcoin at any time, with any amount you have. The current price is still relatively reasonable, fluctuating around $35,000 to $34,000. If you wish to buy now, you can start with whatever funds you have available. By accumulating Bitcoin before the next bull run, you might see a significant profit, as holding onto Bitcoin for an a long period of time might just be able to make you more profits from what you've invested.

Stop feeling depressed, it is late to invest in bitcoins but it does not mean that you cannot still gain from investing in it. Since you know that you already late, you will require extra commitment to meet up. Investing first in bitcoin does not guarantee the investor profit. You who is just investing now can profit more from bitcoin than someone who has known about it for a long time now.

No, I don't think so because I consider myself an ordinary person but if I would at 2018 have the opportunity I would definitely buy it but the price in 2018 was also high. I would say if we are imagining and praying then we should raise our expectations a little but. Like you should think about buying BTC or consider your last chance to buy BTC to be around 2014 or why not 2009? Because if we are praying for a chance then pray for a better one.

Let me tell you one thing we are not late, but if we compare ourselves with the early joining member that joined around 2010 then we are late but we are not late if we compare ourselves with the upcoming joining member. These words are of my local community members which made a place in my mind and prevented me from getting depressed so I hope it will also help you.
