I think that it has become very difficult to get into crypto over the last couple or three years simply because of the rapid price increase.  That's great for early adopters, certainly, but now prices are so high even on some of the best altcoins that those with less resources will have problems entering the crypto world.  That's not to say it's not possible to buy some relatively cheap new altcoin that eventually skyrockets, but that's a lot easier said than done.
