Developers have already refused to issue cryptocurrencies, meaning that working on this now will neither make you money nor bring you fame. It carries the risk of losing all your computer files and having your cryptocurrency wallet stolen, only satisfying a vanity of "I'm keeping up with the times"—it's not worth it. Even if you agree with this general direction, it's worth waiting. Wait until the tools are more complete, you have more experience, and the hardware and learning costs are lower before taking action. A few months' delay won't cause the sky to fall.
