It does make sense especially if you are investing your money at some new place where you don't have any idea of how it actually works so in that case its always good to start with a small investment and once you have gained good knowledge you can increase your capital.
Experience is very important. I also have my fair share of not knowing how the market will usually behave when i start playing bitcoin. I have zero knowledge of market and i end up buying high and selling low. Although it has been a huge learning experience for me, I am still glad that now i am more ready for the future.
