If you are new to invest, then it is late because the market is recovering from the exchange rate. So this time should not invest but should wait for the next downtrend to be able to invest and hold. This time if you invest in cryptos, the high possibility you will be lost in all your assets.
It is not late at all my friend, there is still time time and all are welcome to be a part of crypto investment. Though early comers have taken the advantage but still our market is open for new comers. They aren't losing if they knew how to strategies their money and it could be possible that they might be profitable than to old ones.
In the present, I don't think other times will be better than the current time to starting buy cryptocurrency and create your investment for the long-term. Of course, not much people trust the future of cryptocurrency for the first time know it. However, in the next few years, the value of cryptocurrency market cap won't stop at hundred billion dollars, I believe that amount can increases to trillion dollars soon.
