There are exceptions to this. A person who just invests in Bitcoin may be called a newbie but may not be a newbie in trading in or forex trading. Since they have the same trading principles the forex trader who is now a Bitcoin investor could also become a Bitcoin trader too. But I get the point of the post , which is Bitcoin is not a get-rich-scheme. Trading takes time to learn and even when you learn it as a newbie you will still lose some money or in this case Bitcoin, therefore newbies without high risk tolerance should steer clear of trading until they have mastered it which would take years.
