It is always hard to tell, right now anyone new to cryptos (myself included) is late to the party, but if they enjoy success for many years to come then we would be considered as early adopters.
i agree if we compare the price of bitcoin at the moment with 2010 then we were late to the party, but i would like to ask anyone who bought bitcoin at price was $0.01 then when bitcoin reached $100 or $1000 they still hold. Now bitcoin is $5500 but bitcoin can reach $10,000 even $20,000 in the near future so i think we still are not late to the party. Moreover a lot of project which do ICO have price very cheap, we can buy and wait
