I don't know if you are new in Bitcoin or you are new into this platform, if you are new in Bitcoin you have to make a different research on your own to be able to understand the advantages and the disadvantages of cryptocurrency investment and also Bitcoin particularly, because it is this that will give you the clear understanding of what you are about to embark on, because if you don't make your own research towards a Bitcoin I think it you will find it very difficult with this platform or this community what it does is to embark the knowledge of cryptocurrency to anyone who come across this place

You didn’t break the forum rules by posting here. I only advised you do not share personal information on a public forum especially info about your finances.

As for your topic title… don’t think too much about being late to bitcoin, many newbies feel this way because they missed out on buying Bitcoin on the cheap in the early days. But what they do not consider is that not everyone who bought bitcoin in the early hodl their coins long enough to make them millionaires. It is never too late to start buying bitcoins. With DCA, you can accumulate more bitcoins and reach your goals.

Welcome.  I am only replying for the last part of the title where you say you are a little bit late.  No body is late, even today.  In my opinion, there is still a lot of time for people to join Bitcoin and find out what it is all about before it is truly 'late' for them.

Imagine Bitcoin turns to 250 thousand Dollars per piece.  Would you think you have been late to the party?  There sure is a difference between 100 Dollars and 250 THOUSAND, but the reason most of us are not exorbitantly rich is that while you can expect Bitcoin to be more valuable in the future, you just never know where the stop is.

 For me, no one is late to the Bitcoin party as long as you know what you are doing. Your dream of being a millionaire through the acquisition and (maybe trading) of Bitcoin can be a reality if you understand that Bitcoin is a volatile asset and as such try investing with an amount you can easily part with, then you are good to go. Some people have entered into investment of Bitcoin with the mindset that it will multiply the amount that was used immediately they put it but often get disappointed when it doesn't go as planned.
 Welcome to the forum and try to read the guidelines that has been provided by the others. I believe in the course of your Bitcoin journey you'd have questions and since this is a space where we do our best to help those who are new like you in the world of crypto, it is also important to also make your research so it can help you catch up quickly.

OP for you to have $100 is a step up and you don't have to feel ashamed of the little you have to start your investment, some have been saying they'd like to start up an investment since they have learnt or have some knowledge about Bitcoin but up till now no effort has been made so in your own part I think something must have motivated you to come up with a $100 so continue with what you have with time you'll get there, remember time waits for no one and you started at the right time. Ask questions before starting something you have no idea of in the Forum, Welcome to Bitcointalk OP.
