Don't know about you guys but I feel pretty late. 
You are not late till cryptocurrency gets mass adoption. You simply have missed several chances to earn. Your earning process simply will be more complicated than for those guys who had discovered cryptocurrency 5-7 years ago. However, for you everything will be much easier to understand or achieve, as now there are thousands of faqs, tips, guides, strategies, compared to cryptocurrency pioneers, who achieved everything via thousands of tests, issues and underwater stones.
That's the advantage of gaining practical experience that we can teach others what not do. Learning from others' mistakes is a skill that not everyone can achieve.
Although he might feel late but we all are still early in the crypto community than the rest of the non-crypto people.
According to few reports less than 10% of the world population have invested in cryptocurrencies and if that is true then just think how many more earning opportunities are still there waiting for people like us to be grabbed.
So just keep hustling and gaining knowledge because that's what will be the most valuable in future.
So true. Cant disagree with all of what you have written. To bad that IIrik11 post was about being late to buy Bitcoin @ the price of $1k-10k (probably). While most care about money, only few care about technology. Learning is never late. For me, there is so much to discover in cryptocurrency, so much to invent.
It's not actually a bad thing to feel that way because at one point in the past even I had the same feeling.
I wished that I could have known about bitcoin long ago so that I could have accumulated more of these precious coins.
Most of the people feel the same things.
Some people bought bitcoin at $1000 but felt they are late because they could have bought it for $100.
Some people bought bitcoin at $10000 but felt they are late because they could have bought it for $1000.
Some people bought bitcoin at $60000 but feel they are late because they could have bought it for $10000.
This will never stop. Even if IIrik11 buys bitcoin at $60k. There will be someone calling him lucky to get in at $60k since they would have bought for a higher price.
