Definitely not too late to join the fun of Crypto. There always seems to be tons of new projects, as you can see on this board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0
Personally I recommend bitcore (BTX), the main thread is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1883902.0. If you register your address for the airdrop and your wallet contains at least 1 BTX, you get a nice airdrop every week. You can download the wallet from the official github here: https://github.com/LIMXTEC/BitCore/releases. Enjoy crypto!
