I came onboard cryptocurrncy through a friend who introduced me to this forum as where to start from and since then the journey began and am finding this it exciting.
I think it depends on your interest. Firstly if you have an interest in learning about cryptocurrencies better then forums are where you interact and consult with those who are more experienced. I think unlike those who try to join just for the purpose of making money, they will fail from the start and just spend a lot of time without being able to get sufficient knowledge.
If you are interested in learning, then try to be more active whenever you have time. Ask some questions if you need to get a proper understanding. So since it's 2022, start now. Welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy it.
