Actually in this situation I think it is optional. We do need to learn about what bitcoin is and how to invest in bitcoin but we don't need to learn too much about investment theory if we really want to start because in the end this kind of theory will only make you struggle in learning but not dare to try.
I do not deny that learning is something very important but you should also try to directly practice what you learn because after all we can also still learn by doing so that the theory we learn is directly in the form of action in practice so that you know that what you learn is true or not.
How can you be motivated to invest in Bitcoin if you don't know about Bitcoin investing? Don't you know that the more experienced you are with Bitcoin the more successful you are. Because you don't know what to do about Bitcoin? There are ideas. Because of course our education about bitcoin is very important because if I don't have knowledge about bitcoin then investment is definitely ricks. Only after knowing the information should we awaken our ability to take risks, and invest in Bitcoin to the best of our ability as we move forward into the future. So I definitely prioritize learning about Bitcoin and gaining knowledge about investing.
I think @Fauderz is not denying the fact that learning about Bitcoin before investing is bad, but what he means is that you don't actually need to spend a very long time learning about Bitcoin before you can invest in it.
For example, if you want to get a B.Sc. degree in any course, it might take you to keep studying and writing exams for up to 3 or 4 years, but when you want to invest in Bitcoin, you don't need to stay up learning for like four years before you can invest. You can hear just a few characteristics of Bitcoin, and you may just be convinced to invest the fiat money you have been holding for years in Bitcoin because you know that you will keep holding the money for more years. If you invest in Bitcoin, you know that normally you can hold it for the next bull market, and you will not need any prophet to convince you so much at that moment. So, while you have invested and are holding your asset, you can keep learning about Bitcoin. That's the point.
