The time to have invested in crypto was the 2010s. If you missed it, you missed it.
The general public has become disillusioned with crypto. There's a lack of actual utility (for the most part only shady tor web sites accept crypto as payment) and there's been so many rug pulls it's become a meme.
Let's look at charts from the past 5 years...
The two most major crypto currencies are bitcoin and ethereum.

So BTC is +62 percent and ETH is +9 percent. So the second most major crypto didn't even keep up with inflation (I dont think I need to pull out any data to prove we've had much more than 9 percent inflation since 2021). Now let's compare BTC's +62 percent to the most major ETFs.

So over the past 5 years, bitcoin has performed worse than ETFs. Also some of these ETFs also pay dividends (unlike crypto) so the difference is even worse than these charts show.
And it's only going to get worse for crypto. Sure, it will have days where it's up, and cryptobros will smug-post, but the general trajectory for crypto is downward. They can't even blame the government either, since this administration is openly pro-crypto. The general public has simply become disillusioned with imaginary coins.
