Not Too Late

Bitcoin Is Too Expensive? Here’s Why You’re Not Too Late

“I wish I bought Bitcoin when it was $100.”
“It’s too expensive now—I missed the boat.”

Sound familiar?

It’s one of the most common misconceptions about Bitcoin: that because the price is higher today than it was a few years ago, it’s no longer worth buying.

But here’s the truth: you don’t need to buy a whole Bitcoin. And more importantly, Bitcoin is still early. Very early.

Let’s break this myth wide open.

You Don’t Have to Buy a Whole Coin

This is the number one thing most people don’t realize:
Bitcoin is divisible.

Just like a dollar has 100 cents, 1 Bitcoin has 100 million sats (short for “satoshis”).

You can buy:

  • 0.01 BTC

  • 0.001 BTC

  • 50,000 sats

  • Even $5 worth

Bitcoin is for stacking, not snapping up whole coins.
You’re not “too late”—you’re just early to the idea of saving in sats.

Expensive Compared to What?

People say Bitcoin is “too expensive” at $30k, $50k, $70k. But expensive compared to what?

A luxury watch?
A used car?
A home down payment?

Now ask: which of those has a fixed supply, global demand, 24/7 liquidity, and no counterparty risk?

Bitcoin isn’t a stock. It’s not a toy. It’s digital monetary property with a hard cap of 21 million units. Ever.

There are over 56 million millionaires in the world.
If each wanted just one bitcoin… well, they can’t have it.

That’s what makes it valuable.

You’re Not Buying Price—You’re Buying Access

When you buy Bitcoin, you’re not just buying an asset.
You’re buying access to:

  • A censorship-resistant monetary network

  • A hedge against inflation

  • A tool for storing value across time and borders

  • A system that operates independently of Wall Street or the government

That’s not about price.
That’s about freedom.

You're Still Early

If you’re reading this, you’re in the top 1% of people who’ve even thought deeply about Bitcoin.

Let’s look at adoption:

  • Less than 5% of the world holds any meaningful Bitcoin

  • Most institutions are still on the sidelines

  • Regulatory clarity is still developing

  • The next 10 years will likely bring massive onboarding—nation-states, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds

It’s like asking in 1997 if it’s “too late to invest in the internet.”

What’s Actually Expensive? Not Owning Any

The real risk isn’t that Bitcoin goes down.

The real risk is waking up in 10 years:

  • After another decade of inflation

  • After your dollars lost 30% of their value

  • After Bitcoin is $500k+
    … and realizing you still don’t own any.

History is full of people who ignored the internet, email, smartphones, and Amazon.

Don’t let the price tag blind you to the paradigm shift.

Final Thoughts

Bitcoin may feel expensive. But only because you’re anchoring to the past.

The truth is, it’s still cheap—relative to where it’s going.

You don’t need a whole coin.
You don’t need to time the market.
You just need to start stacking small, consistently, and with conviction.

You’re not late. You’re just early to understanding.
