A new comer in Crypto world

Hearing the word 'Crypto' more frequently after July-Aug 2017 or may be in last month or so !!! Wondering whats that and how I can ride the early train...
Welcome to the world of virtual currency .
I got interested in it, in July- August time.After a good amount of research and analysis,I finally got on the bandwagon with many questions in mind.Am I late in the game?Will I ever get the same benefit that many other got?the currencies are trading high now,should I put in money in it?
Many of these questions and slowly I figured some answers.Am I late-yes, may be a bit but I have not lost the train all together.I am still an early bird.I may not get what people got from bitcoin earlier but I can get big returns .
My investment strategy and portfolio might not be similar to ones who joined in 2015 or 2016 but it will have its own way of innovation.
Do I feel missing out by not jumping in early?Many of my friends( who are in same boat of being late) feel so.But, honestly,would I have joined in 2015-16 when BTC was not so tried and put my hard earned money?I am not sure.I know, many of us would not have.
NOW is the right time to cash in on it with proper thought and planning. Lets do it
