As on my own opinion alot of newbies have fallen in to hand of scammers because of their insufficient knowledge about Bitcoin so therefore it take a high risk to make an investment when you yet to understand the Bitcoin investment to avoid been scammed of your hard earnings
Take your time learn and implement before you inter market or make any investment as a newbie
Many newbies invested before learning and they did it right, it doesn't take a thing to go on Google and check Bitcoin out, and this day Binance exchange is available including many top exchanges, unlike in the past where you could get caught in a fake crypto exchange.
Some did end up losing a lot of money because they dont chose Bitcoin, they went for altcoins, if a newbie buys Bitcoin without knowing more they are safe if they choose the right place to buy and also the right wallet to store the Bitcoin.
The dangers of buying altcoins without knowing anything are so higher than buying Bitcoin without knowing anything about Bitcoin, like I told my nephew hours ago, you can't lose with Bitcoin until you decide to sell for a lower price than you bought it.
