The easy answer is just to start doing it, start now your not actually going to actually understand it completely unless you have experienced it already. It's a good thing that you are already here in the forum where there are a lot of members who could easily help you get started on cryptocurrency, there are a lot of threads here on how to start buying and investing in cryptocurrency, I recommend starting buying and investing already and on your way in case, you encounter problem you could easily ask someone here the forum, there are plenty of experience member here in the forum that could easily help you.

It is never too late to start investing, there are so many opportunities in the market where you could easily make a huge amount of profit, you just need to do it and find it, you could easily start with a small amount DCA is already popular to a lot of traders because you could easily start at whatever amount that you have, start buying around 5% of your salary put it on Bitcoin every month or week something like that then just do that until you accumulate a certain amount.

You could also start exploring some things where you could possibly make some money, you could try altcoins in the market, leverage trading, futures trading, stock trading, etc. As long as you know your limits and do it in moderation you could possibly make good money and lower you risk at the same time.

Well, as they say, better late than never. You could have much better opportunities, it's true, if you had joined last year, but you are still not too late in my opinion because what we see in the market right now is a pre-bull run which means that we are yet to have the halving event but Bitcoin managed to hit a new all-time high before it to surprise the world.
So, the current situation is that it is correcting itself, we don't know where it might go to but it is declining as of now, so maybe you should start buying in portions to accumulate some of it before the halving event and then we might see some action coming in.

[Litzki1990]

Every moment can be invested because Bitcoin is a reliable digital currency. You may be thinking that now is not the time to invest in Bitcoin but I would say that if you invest in Bitcoin with a long term plan then you always have opportunities.  The market may be in a very good position now, from this position you may be thinking that if you can invest now, then the market may dump later, but something contrary to your idea may happen. Since the market was already pumping, we had a negative idea that the market might dump but that idea did not come true rather the opposite happened and the market gradually increased. If you invest now then the price of Bitcoin may increase further in future and it is more likely so if you have enough investment opportunities you can invest at this time of year.

Just pay attention to your own accumulation at this rate. Because in such communities, not here, maybe somewhere you may land or will discover. There will be a lot of discouragement to you that they'd tell you gains aren't going to be great and you're already too late in the game. You know, such words like that which won't force your enthusiasm but instead they will shill you out some altcoins and tokens and memes that they've invested. With this, you'll focus on your own asset and you only have to read news, speculations and even if they're bad or negative then only take those positive ones that are going to be helpful with your DCA.

What you don't understand is everytime there is always an opportunity to invest in Bitcoin. Bitcoin has a good motives for increase price. You as a beginner you should learn some basics about Bitcoin from internet, YouTube videos, educational websites (like Bitcointalk) podcasts. If you have the basic knowledge of Bitcoin you can start immediately you have the money. In Bitcoin investment, there's always many options to choose, this is the reason you have to learn some basics about Bitcoin before you can choose the options that would be okay with you while you invest in Bitcoin.
@tabas you said it right, there have been some areas were crypto newbies get discouraged of Bitcoin, these are the cause of misconceptions among them and it should be corrected. However, some don't care to do there own research about Bitcoin they depend on others people words.

Start with researching those information's you are curious with since for sure there are lots of answer of the questions in your mind then try to digest it so for you to understand certain topic that can help you grow. Also search for better programs which you think can help you earn and if you are not sure about everything you want to try then try to ask something in this forum and for sure there are lots of people will give an advice about what is more better to do and if you should avoid doing those programs since either you are just wasting your time or that is scam.

Remember that starting up will be tough but if you are so eager to learn and can able to do a lot of research for sure everything will go fine in your side and you can grow with that as long as you show to people that you are willing to learn and also became adaptive on some changes that might happen in the scene.

If you want to get basic knowledge about Bitcoin then hopefully you can learn it from this forum. Moreover, you can find various content related to Bitcoin by searching on Google or YouTube which will help you to gain basic knowledge of Bitcoin.

If you have basic knowledge about investing then you can immediately start investing in your Bitcoin with any amount. I think you should invest in Bitcoin every moment rather than waiting for the best time to invest in Bitcoin for that you can choose DCA method to invest in Bitcoin. Currently the market condition is slightly crushed due to which the price of Bitcoin has decreased slightly. One of the best opportunities for those who have long-term plans to invest in Bitcoin is if they buy Bitcoin at this price and hold it for a long time. The benefit of holding Bitcoin long-term is that when someone buys Bitcoin at a low price, if the price of Bitcoin goes up, he makes a lot of profit from it.

If there's to blame with that spreading of information and mindset, those are the influencers that have been paid to do that because there are projects that want them to advertise and they receive hefty amount of money from doing so. And not just about the fee that they get for shilling it, they're possible offered for some commissions based on the sales that they'd drive onto that project. For that reason, many influencers don't mind the sake of their audience as long as they make money, they receive commissions and fees and stuff to make their pockets full in return of the loss of their viewers that seem to believe everything they say.

Everyone can relate to you as we all started here from a scratch. However, I suggest know the forum first and explore. Study and always make an extensive research. With that, you will learn bitcoin a lot in the long run. Most particularly if you are here to learn investing, then do not hesitate to ask the forum members as they’re here to assist you. Eventually, you will learn from the experiences of the rest of the members.

No one gets late with bitcoin. But if you keep procrastinating, I bet you will definitely miss a lot of opportunities. While the opportunity to invest is on hand, start buying now and hold it patiently. As long as you are putting  an amount you can easily afford to lose, then everything will be fine.

[kentrolla]

As I type this I can see people have already shared the links you need to refer in order to understand the basics which is very important. It's never too late to enter Bitcoin but it rather depends how does you want to be associated with Bitcoin, either a long term investor, short term or day trader. If you are looking for long term most of the people would say you don't have to bother about the price but I would say this is the perfect condition to enter if you are daily trader as there is a lot of volatility in the market you can easily scalp but for long term you may wait for price to settle down as we may see bigger correction either during halving or post bull run that would be best period to enter as your profits will be multiplied more if you enter at lower price.

[nakamura12]

You should start at learning first before you buy BTC. For the community is you have to post or join discussions and contribute in this forum. You should also read the pinned threads in each forum board especially meta and beginners and help boards because that's where you'll find the forum rules ans other information that is important. If you have problem you can create a thread just like tbis and ask your question then many forum members will answer it.

Why you mentioned opportunity from the past if you are not part of that past, and just as you think that there have been opportunity in the past so it was with the risk and challenges of the past, so as a newbies I advice you to be focused on self development discipline instead of getting overly concerned with lost opportunities which in most cases only exited in your head and based on just assumption or stereotypes.
You are still on time and better you here now, so pick up and get started no matter how little you can and where you are, the journey is a long one so complains will only drain your motivation and energy for the race ahead.
