Looks like your knowledge of bitcoin is pretty good,
but I don't understand when you say that bitcoin cannot be stolen, what is your reason, I want to hear it, I hope it is useful for me,,
that's why bitcoins can't be stolen? Surely you wouldn't say that if you didn't know why?
You are not too late to learn a lot in this forum friends.
and there is no need to regret the events that have passed.

I was introduced to Bitcoin talk org six years ago but I never took it serious because I feel digital money is not real. My non willingness to learn, has cost me a life changing opportunity but now, I know better😀.
You walk by life changing opportunities every day without knowing. Even if you simply play the lottery you have every day the chance to change your life, but it is still unlikely.
If I was you I would not feels regret about it, because it take more than to know about bitcoin to get rich from it.
Many people have missed opportunities in the past, like OP, and I believe that if you or any of us knew about bitcoin at the time, we would also choose to ignore it. OP feels regret because he has now seen its success, not because he didn't learn about it, it was just an argument to deny his mistake. I missed the opportunity by not investing in bitcoin in 2014, it was because I didn't trust bitcoin enough. But I have never regretted that no one knows the future.
No one can steal your bitcoin.
The fact is that currently many people have lost their bitcoins due to hacking cases, but I am not saying that this loss is caused by the security flaws offered by bitcoin but by individual negligence when holding bitcoins, to avoid this it is highly recommended that we always store bitcoins in a cold wallet because With this wallet, we don't need to always be connected to the internet, so that makes the security higher than the security of hot wallets, which are vulnerable to being hacked.

If you had said "decentralized" money is not real money, that would have made some sense but digital money is what we all use a lot in our daily lives. Fiat currencies that we use changed form to digital a long time ago, unless you are a rare case who has always used hard cash which is unlikely! 
No one can steal your bitcoin.
Anyone that sees and knows your seed phrase or private key can steal your coins. Anyone that is able to compromise your device and transfer your coins successfully just stole it too, be careful of both online and offline attacks. Be careful of malware. Online wallets are most vulnerable, especially web wallets. Cold storage and hardware are safer.
I don't know, but your topic contains a lot of errors and lacks accuracy, and it also misses many important features of Bitcoin.
First, Bitcoin can be stolen in many ways if you do not have sufficient knowledge to secure Bitcoin by keeping it in a secure wallet and not storing it in central platforms, also choosing the type of wallet and the method of preserving private keys, there are many important things that must be taken into account, otherwise you will lose your Bitcoin.
Also, you did not mention the most important things about Bitcoin, such as decentralization, maintaining privacy, and not needing third party services because it is a peer-to-peer payment method, also that it is out of control and many other important features.

Yes, you really missed a lot OP for not taking Bitcoin serious since six years ago, because you think is not useful to you. Well, is never too late for you to learn Bitcoin to be part of the benefits in the community, because you have a lot of research to carry out about Bitcoin and how to make your bitcoins secure for scammers not to have access to your bitcoins in future. All you need to do now is to put more effort in reading books that contain Bitcoin, and also dedicate time for the forum so that you can learn more from the senior members in the community.
No offense, but it looks like what you know is only gained from like 5 minutes of reading or a single YouTube video. You're going to need to do A LOT more than that.

In case you are just like me, let me give you a brief run down of what i have learnt so far about bitcoin and its benefits
Bitcoin is real money and is used around the world.
No one can censor bitcoin transactions because it is using computational algorithm called proof of work.
It is very accessible, fast and easy to use.
Bitcoin is a life changer.
No one can steal your bitcoin.

I am confused with your point but i think that if you found Bitcointalk.org earlier meaning you invest earlier in bitcoin it is lot changing. This was very famous on those person whos supposed to be know bitcoin but again people dont invest on it as they dont trust it but again there is no late meaning you can still buy bitcoin and gain profit. I know your regrets but again dont do again your mistake, invest now and earn profit

Good for you! Unfortunatelly there are still many people who think digital money isn't real and that Bitcoin is a big ponzi scheme, without any intrinsic value, so they insist in wasting time and also money, because they prefer to let it in fiat stored in saving accounts which generate interest below the inflation. You took 6 years to wake up, while others are still sleeping after 14 years and wishing Bitcoin dies, so they can finally say: "I knew it! I told you all the time!". Now make sure you don't waste any more time, invest in BTC while it's not too expensive. We never know when the next bull run is going to start.We should thank those who have resisted and distrusted bitcoin for the past 14 years instead of blaming them. In a sense, it is as if success or wealth are not for the masses. Let's try to accumulate as much bitcoin as possible when many people still do not believe in it, its price is still very low, they are giving us a chance, and we should thank them. When they started believing in bitcoin, we were on a new level, successful people always have their way, and that's why I always ignore the Fuds around.

Digital money is not physical, so it's very hard to understand. After all, Bitcoin is based on code and is only existing in the digital world. Bitcoin is also based on trust and when Satoshi started it, he wasn't sure if it was going to be successful. He said something like that: "In a few years we'll see either no transactions at all or a lot of transactions". What implied, that Bitcoin needed to be supported by enough people.
And Bitcoin had / has enough support to survive that critical early phase.
A much bigger step than simply surviving from a technological perspective will be acceptance:
After all, money is what people are willing to accept. And if Bitcoin, a digital good / asset (we could argue here about a better description), is accepted by many people it can become some sort of money as well.
A couple of notes, though.
1. Bitcoin is indeed censorship-resistant. There's no authority that can ban, restrict, or censor an address or a transaction in the network. So whether you're a communist, a terrorist, a criminal, a weirdo, an anarchist, or whatever, you're allowed to make Bitcoin transactions. However, this is all betrayed by centralized exchanges and other centralized platforms. These platforms blacklist, restrict, and censor addresses and people because they have tainted Bitcoin, used gambling sites, a resident of Russia, and so on.
2. Indeed, no one can steal your Bitcoin. But only if you keep it safe. By keeping it safe, I mean you store it offline where you alone have the control and possession of your private keys. Keeping the private keys is another thing. You cannot keep them online or in whatever device that you connect online. And, again, your Bitcoin could be stolen once you keep it in centralized exchanges. Not only could your coins be stolen, they could also be frozen for whatever reason.

At least you know about it now and as long as you learn from your mistake, everything is good. It's never too late. If you have some money lying around, invest in bitcoin and keep holding. If you don't, six years later, when you look at the price, you are going to make the same post and start regretting once again. Not a financial advice though. Do your own research. After six years, the price might skyrocket, might be the same or might go down much more than it is now.-snip-
Bitcoin is a life changer.
Not really... 
Bitcoin is real money and is used around the world.
Bitcoin is a virtual currency, not physically real but provides real benefits. For now, it's more widely used as a speculative asset around the world if you look at global regulations.Quote
It is very accessible, fast and easy to use.
That varies from person to person, so I'm not sure. Device, infrastructure, and environment dependent.Quote
Bitcoin is a life changer.
You change your own life, bitcoin only facilitates it to a certain extent 
I still feel like you're missing a lot of the features of Bitcoin which gives it a lot of promise. For example, removing the need for third parties, such as banks. That should probably be one of the major factors for everyone, and I believe was the main motivation for creating Bitcoin. The other one being; counterfeiting, i.e Bitcoin can't be faked, and every transaction is verified. As well as transactions can't be faked if they've been confirmed.
It's nice to see someone who's relatively new not focus on the price aspect, and how it swings from there to here. You're at least focusing on the more important aspects which drive those swings.

It is true that it's a life changer. Many of us here have a life changing opportunity because of bitcoin and not just that, it has taught a lot of things not just about itself but also about the markets and economics that you'll get to learn when you're too curious about it.

And these days, it's normal to see someone regrets that he should have listened to his friends or relatives when they've been shared and introduced to bitcoin because look at how far it has went. It's not just only about the price that it has got during 2021's bull run but the technology and acknowledgement that it's getting these days. Not just from the people but also from big financial institutions and the governments.
No one can steal your bitcoin.
Only if you know how to keep your bitcoins safe but if you can't, you might fall for phishing/malware tactics.
It is still not late to hop in Bitcoin bandwagon. Bitcoin is still on its baby step so there are still lots of opportunities and profits to make. There are still life changer opportunities offered by industry, you just need to find them. Regardless, I am glad you are able to come into conclusion and despite of the regrets you face Bitcoin with an enthusiastic character. This is a good character to start your venture into Bitcoin ecosystem. I hope you are able to maximize the benefits in engaging in Bitcoin industry. Don't make haste and make sure you have all the knowledge needed in making your Bitcoin venture a success.
