Its does not mean beginner is too late. Sometimes, the old crypto member has no improvement and there new beginner has big improvement compare to old ones. It depends how you will manage in crypto world. You can do research, you can seek advise to anyone willing to share knowledge. As long before you invest do your own research. And try small amount only then if you realize its you can manage in big amount then its up to you.
Think positive always and keep moving forward to all your failure.
