Based on what OP has shared, I don't think they have enough knowledge about it. So it is safe to teach them beforehand. We were all newbies at some point and to this day, we are still learning something new every day. There's no limit on how much we can learn, but to be a part of something we need to at least learn the pros and cons. It does depend from person to person. So we should ask first and learn from them too. Maybe they know something that we don't. And we know something that they don't. It's like give and take.
I think in crypto world, it is the best way to learn.
