Is it not too late to buy Bitcoin?

A few months ago 1 BTC is equal to $2000-$3000 but I'm shocked to see current rate. I don't know how it happen but right now bitcoin rate is above $8000 just for 1 BTC. So it grow more than 3 times in a few months. I also heard it's very possible if at the end of this year the rate may jump again to $15000 for 1 BTC. I don't know it's true or it just a rumor. What do you think about this? Is it not too late to buy Bitcoin?

I'd still buy it but only with funds that I'm comfortable 'losing'.

@allen0187 Yeah, I will use my extra money because I don't want to get any problem. I plan to spend $50-$100 to buy bitcoin later.

@Datecs agree. They are reaping the benefits of being one of the first who invested in it.

I would not mind it if I could buy, lets say, $50. But more than that, it would be too much to spend on something I know nothing about.

@marguicha Thanks for the advice, later I will use $50-100. For now. I decide to wait first until the price dropped again. Bitcoin just hit their highest price today, I think it's not wise to buy it now. Better to wait until it dropped first.

For others, it is not. But for me it is too late already because blockchain fee has increased too. Where would I use it after buying it? I used to buy $2 to $10 worth of crypto coins before because transaction fee was lower compare to PayPal, etc. but I can't do it now. I will continue using crypto to RECEIVE online payments but not to buy Bitcoin anymore. Or, I may buy LOCALLY and use it LOCALLY only. It is no longer practical to use Bitcoin to transfer funds from/to other countries unlike before.
Blockchain supposed to be lowering fee when CryptoCurrency price is rising. And supposed to increase fee when CryptoCurrency price is falling in order to...

Ah I forgot to calculate blockchain fee before buying, thanks for telling me that @AkoPinay . Right now the price dropped again and it make me confused lol. I decide to wait first until the rate around $7000-$7500. Why you said if it no longer practical to transfer money from/to other countries?

@thenight because blockchain fee increase is already more than bank wire and PayPal transfer fees.

@dodoazo even if they accept, blockchain FEE is quite high now. From 0.0001 to 0.0015 imagine that. We can buy and use it ZERO fee with Coins.ph to Coins.ph transfers only. Just like BDO to BDO, PNB to PNB, BPI to BPI bank transfers.
