Getting a standard knowledge of bitcoin isn't something a newbie can cover in a week or two this could take months or even longer before he we would understand more about himself like cashflow management, risk tolerance and his investment timeline, all this are decisions that could take some time to figure out, waiting is a very wrong idea especially when you already know how to buy bitcoin and where to store it, this are the basic knowledge that I consider important for a newbie the rest can be figured out in the process of buying bitcoin, yes some newbies can tend to be very aggressive with regards to the price of bitcoin which I don't really support cause aggressiveness without knowledge of yourself can cause you to sell very early than expected, so a better advice like what Jay had said earlier on would be for them to get started even if it's a very little buying purchase of 10$ weekly and consistently while the figure out themselves properly.
From your perception is good to hurry up and invest in bitcoin, is that what you will advise beginners to do, in norms you don't need to venture what you don't know about without proper research, someone get into lose base on over excitement and curiosity to invest in order to make a profit, as investor you need to be inquisitive to something you have not comprehend well..let me ask you, during the bearish season and bullrun when is best time for someone to accumulate bitcoin?.
I can't be that conscious to invest due to bitcoin price is increasing rapidly, you most at least scrutinised the market and understand the next movement of Bitcoin through the chat or move of candles sticks, probably, we need to know that is not all about investing but understand the system first, many of you is curious to invest when the price of bitcoin increasing and you feel is the best time to accumulate your bitcoin.
As a newbie being hasty in making investment decision is not advisable but waiting to have advanced knowledge of a particular asset before you can invest in it, is not a good idea, Bitcoin does not require much knowledge from a newbie, what a new invest need is to have a basic knowledge on how to buy and hold if possible, a newbie should should also know the strategy that suits his capital in other not to invest with a mindset of premature sells, it has been said over and over again that the bear market is the expected perioid for investors to buy as much as they can but it does mean that we can't buy anytime we feel like buying, lets not forsget that Bitcoin price does not has stable movement so we shouldn't wait until the price drop from us to invest because in the course of waiting we may spend the money meant for the investment.
Most times constant check on the market can deprive us the opportunity to invest because it is almost impossible to predict the price movement of Bitcoin, this mere predictions fails, if not for anything, this year halving taught many of us a great lesson about Bitcoin, many felt that halving will have immediate effect on bitcoin price but the reverse was the case, IMO I think bitcoin as an investment has presented itself for everyone to invest whenever we are ready mentally and financially.
