As others have said, it is definitely not too late. The only problem I see with your thread is that you have placed it in Trading Discussion, and it is much better to invest in bitcoin than to trade it.
Trading is buying and selling trying to guess whether the price will go up or down and it is a much touted system but one that over 95% of people lose money on.
Investing, on the other hand, is based on a thorough knowledge of the asset you are buying and basing your purchase on the fact that its characteristics are such that it will have a prosperous long-term future.
It is better to go for this second option, as you seem to point out, it is much safer and with less risk.
I don't see that he mentioned trading in each of his posts but he only place his thread on the wrong board. There is nothing wrong if he will do trading. He can still do investing on the side because investing doesn't need a constant monitoring. Learning trading can be a good way to kill our boredom on waiting for our assets to grow big.
Trading is more than just guessing but there are tools that we can use in order to make a more accurate prediction. 95% of people losing in trading could be too high already and if it's true, trading will be less talked about but that isn't the case that is happening right now. Trading is always a hot topic everywhere you go.
