did i get into crypto too late?

hello, steemit world. i am new here & this is my 1st post.

up until a few months ago, bears & bulls only represented professional sports teams
from chicago to me. i started with ripple (xrp) last november when it was about $0.29
& bought into other alts in the following weeks. i was then always urging to friends &
family to invest & not to miss out (FOMO promotion at its finest).
i am no longer that guy!!

there i was, believing that i boarded this ship before it sailed...only to find myself
"holding the bag" & feeling like a sucker. been trading multiple alts & reading like a madman
trying to find the right way to make profits outside of the traditional buying & holding..

this is by no means a desperate cry for help, as i did heed the rule by investing
only what i could afford to lose.

i am just exasperated & was wondering if anyone else felt similar...
