As we put it this way, it is not about being late on this market but when is your entry and exit. Your gain is relative to when you will cash out what you bought. But you should have the patience to wait and should have other assets to fall back into. One way to truly benefit on this market is to hold long enough and sell it when you are already gaining good profits.
All of us investing right now are already late but if we don't buy we will be more late when we see the price of Bitcoin later. There are more ways to benefit from being late and you can teach others about Bitcoin and you will make money if you don't want to wait for the market to get to new peaks for you to make profits but there's no better way to benefit as late adopters than investing by buying and hodl. There are many people trying to get money through Airdrops and using the money to buy Bitcoin. That is also a good way to benefit but you have to be willing to work.
Patience can give you profits that is bigger than any other way you want to benefit as a late adopter so you just have to buy and hodl and continue with your life.
