I don't think its too late to join Hive as the moment you start blogging on Hive and engage with the community your earnings could start from there users upvoting your content.
Hive is not something like first come first serve basis thing. Yes, there some old users who have been on the platfrom through all these years and have made a good influence in the platform but that doesn't mean its too late for the new users to join this ecosystem.

The moment you take a start on Hive and look into the portfolios of other Hive users with some good amount of Hive Power thinking you have a long way to get there giving you a sense of being late to the platform, is not what one should think.
That being said, you can start earning straightaway joining Hive and sharing your content. Hive should be taken as a journy, not something like a get rich quick scheme. That being said, you have to continuesly show your presence and stay consistent. Showing up and engaging through the platform is something that helps you in your exposure on the platform.
Bears for wise investors are something they deem to be a good entry point as tokens are on a discounted price in the bears. Having said that, we are now in a bear market so staying active here on Hive sharing content, earn and collecting these cheap Hive tokens is something that could prove helpful in future whenever the price of Hive surges.
Irrespective of jumping into the market buying tokens when it's price surge isn't it better to collect tokens when they are on a discounted rate? So, it's probably the right time to get these cheap Hive tokens while sharing content on Hive before it gets expensive.
