It’s not that people suddenly believe in Bitcoin. They believe in not being poor. They are betting against the system, but ironically, using the exact same herd instinct that keeps the system running. When Bitcoin was boring, it was invisible. Now it's booming, people think it's their lottery ticket, and they rush in without understanding what they are even buying - digital scarcity, a network effect, and a protocol they probably can't even explain.
This behavior is older than Bitcoin. It's what bubbles are made of. And yes, it can still make you rich - but the real question is at what cost? FOMO-driven buying is not investment; it is gambling disguised as strategy. The problem is that humans prefer to deal with immediate emotions rather than long-term planning. They prefer hype to quiet analysis. Most of them have no exit strategy, no knowledge of volatility, no concept of liquidity crises - just vibes.
So, is it the right time to buy? Wrong question. The question should be: Are you making this decision because you understand Bitcoin? Or because you’re afraid to look stupid at parties where everyone talks about how rich they got from it? Think about that first.
