Am I Too Late to Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is still a relatively small asset class in financial markets.

As Bitcoin reaches the $100,000 milestone, it’s natural to feel a mix of emotions if you don’t own any yet, regret, fear of missing out, or the thought that the opportunity has passed. But let me tell you this: it’s absolutely not too late.

While the price per Bitcoin is higher than it’s ever been, and will likely continue to set new all-time highs for decades to come, Bitcoin is still a relatively small asset class in financial markets.

To put it in perspective:

  • Bitcoin’s market cap is just under $2 trillion.

  • Compare that to gold at ~$18 trillion, equities at over $100 trillion, or bonds at more than $300 trillion.

This is the market Bitcoin is competing in and coming after. When Bitcoin was $10,000, Bitcoiners were saying it would reach $100,000, and we were called crazy. Now we’re saying it will reach $1,000,000. Will you call us crazy again?

But let’s get back to the question: Am I too late? On the contrary, I think we’re still early.

Here’s why:

  • The vast majority of people in my life don’t own Bitcoin.

  • Most of my colleagues don’t own Bitcoin.

  • Most of my friends don’t own Bitcoin.

  • Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, etc., don’t own Bitcoin.

  • Most financial advisors and institutions don’t own Bitcoin.

I’ve been trying to “orange pill” my friends and everyone I meet for the past seven years. My success rate? Maybe 1%, at best, 2%.

Globally, estimates suggest less than 2% of the world owns Bitcoin.

So, are you late?

Absolutely not.
