I don't know who needs to hear this, but you can still become Bitcoiner. It's easy, the best is to approach a Bitcoiner you already know (a friend or a friend of a friend).
You can still front run mega corporations turning their cash reserves into bitcoin.
If you keep your productive energy in fiat, it evaporates. If you consume it, entropy will take it - even memories fade with time, although make sure to make them.
It does not really matter much if you earn Bitcoin or you buy it. Don't overcomplicate. Self custodial wallet, buy and play.
Everything else will come with time - hardware wallets, inheritance, backups, deeper understanding. Just don't be that person that knows about bitcoin but does not have a personal experience with it.
At a later stage you might want to read Cryptocurrencies: Hack your way to a better life, in order to learn about many fun things you can do with Bitcoin. This one is unique that it shows you practical things, not only "we'll all be rich" hopium.

Which Bitcoin do you mean, BTC or BCH?
Serious question as BTC looks more and more like its going lose all its qualities which initially made it interesting. It was a P2P currency at some point, now it morphs into a custodial wallet ecosystem, fenced by KYC and AML and the tools which gave it some level of privacy get outlawed right now.
Nobody ever means BCH
I thought so to, for a long time, but the more i watch what happens with BTC and the more i think about why i got into Bitcoin originally, the more i realize that BCH is the real Bitcoin.
What exactly is real Bitcoin? You can still use BTC for P2P exchange with most users, you can still use non-custodial wallets. Yes, sometimes KYC is required, but is there really a company that would require KYC for BTC and not for BCH? What's the difference between BTC and BCH that makes BCH the real bitcoin?
The point is, that you can still. But soon you can not. Fees will be way too high. That also means, self custody is not possible for most people.
With KYC, there is no freedom to transact when you have to suffer consequences after you did. Its the same with freedom of speech. When you can say what you want but afterwards you get punished, it is not freedom.
With low onchain fees, people can transact p2p. It is way harder to stop than people using trusted third parties which KYC them. This is not different to Paypal or a bank account. And this is what is happening.
If we learned anything from the canadian trucker protests, it is that we need to avoid KYC by all means and give people the power to self custody and transact with low fees, without intermediarys.
That was the whole point of bitcoin from the beginning.
Real Bitcoin is what is written in the Bitcoin Whitepaper. A p2p currency.
Those are valid concerns, but BCH doesn't solve these problems any better than BTC. They only reason why BCH is not KYCed so much and doesn't have big transaction fees is that nobody cares about it. If for some reason BCH became popular it would end up in the same place as BTC.
I am just saying that in hindsight, it is the real bitcoin as it was meant to be used as p2p money.
What we have as BTC now is something completely different, a store of value which gets integrated into the banking system with KYC and AML. And custodial wallets and trusted third parties.
