Does anyone feel that buying bitcoin right now is a race against the time? Probably, all of you felt this before.
I have my DCA weekly and I buy a few hundred bucks monthly (separated budget) and as the prices of stocks, gold, silver, etc. are rising up and bitcoin soon will go up, lately I feel like that I'm getting behind and late with this matter.
What are your thoughts? Maybe I'm just stressing myseld about this. Lol

You are ahead of most of the world population
I thought time was running out last January, and instead I got a whole year to DCA around 100k.
These days of cheap sats could be over tomorrow, or it could go on for another year or more, no one knows.
I just keep providing value to the world and saving the surplus in Bitcoin. Simplicity at its best.
People will make this same post at $1M BTC. Buy what you can, nothing to worry about if you’re long term.
Happy Stacking! đź’Ž
It’s called FOMO and idk why do you feel that way. Retail interested is at all time low and I don’t see any catalyst in the horizon that can change thatÂ
Investing a regular amount monthly will average up your return over time and of course the best moment to invest was yesterday, now if you schedule a monthly saving plan do not get headache time is your ally and make your capital grow.
Nah, never too late.
My best advice is for you to continue your DCA journey. Many of us may never hit our original stack goal and I think that’s bullish enough as is.
But seriously, most people who have entered within the last 5 years probably set out for 1 BTC. And if you’re putting in even what you say at a couple hundred a month, you’re still looking at $2-3k purchased in a year. With price being it’s lowest in the last 5 years at $16k a coin. You would have needed price to stick to that low for the full 5 year time frame to achieve that 1 BTC. At today’s prices, you could be looking at 15 more years if you’ve already made it to half a BTC.
I also like to think about even splits of the whole BTC pie to the world population to gauge how early we are. Certainly flaws with my logic here but still a comforting thought excerise. For the example, the US population is estimated to be greater than 340M (so we’ll take the low end of that range). With only 21M BTC ever created, an even split to just the US population is 0.0588 BTC.
This is not my way of confirming you are “behind” and that you should throw lump sums at it now. Not at all, just a suggestion to recalibrate on what you have.
Nah it’s not just you. That feeling is basically FOMO with a suit on.
If you’re already DCA’ing weekly and monthly you’re doing what most people never even start. The stress comes from watching price move faster than your income, not from doing something wrong. Everyone feels “late” right before a run, and “smart” during a dump. Same cycle every time.
Also being early feels boring. Being late feels urgent. Bitcoin has been doing that to people for like a decade. One day it’s dead, next day everyone wishes they bought more. Meanwhile you’re just stacking quietly. That’s the unsexy part.
Random thought but it’s funny how nobody feels behind when price is flat for months. Soon as green candles show up, brains melt.
You’re fine. Stick to the plan, don’t size up out of panic. Stress usually means you’re watching the chart too much, not that you’re actually behind.
I am stressing too
