Transcript

Is it too late to buy bitcoin? Honestly, nobody can know, because its future price is unknowable.

In November 2026 it traded about 40% below its October 2025 peak, closing at $75,091 on November 9.

Its history shows huge gains and falls of 50% or more. The SEC warns crypto can be exceptionally volatile.

So position size matters more than entry timing. Only buy an amount you could lose entirely.

Buyers in late 2017 or late 2021 waited a long time to break even. Buyers after big crashes did very well. Nobody knew the entry point in advance.

One test: write down what you would do after a 50% fall. If the answer is panic sell, the position is too big.
