It is wrong for someone who has no knowledge about bitcoin to buy bitcoin and looking for advice from people for help. I think people who invest this way without having any knowledge are just desperate to get rich from bitcoin. It looks so unreasonable for someone to decide to invest on something that is unknown and without any understanding, that means the person just only care about profit and not about bitcoin. Someone who is really Interested to invest in bitcoin will go after knowledge first before proceeding of buying Bitcoin to invest.
Without knowledge buying Bitcoin is a waste because it will look so complicated to the person when their is fall in the market. Knowledge about bitcoin is not just about investing but how to use the right wallet and also helps to give good Understanding in securing the seed phrase. No matter the amount used in buying Bitcoin, no bitcoin if their is no knowledge on how to invest because their can't be magic to end up with a positive result by the end of the investment.
I don't think we can judge that this is a mistake even though the initial method was not correct, but we don't have to consider this a mistake. Seeing from what always happens now, many people always buy first and then immediately invest in bitcoin because they already have it, so they don't want to make a wrong move in ownership. Even though things like this are not good, believe it or not, this is a common thing nowadays.
The ideal is that we have to learn first before actually buying, but for now we always feel that sometimes learning can be done while we are making purchases, so there are fewer people learning about bitcoin and then buying than buying bitcoin and then learning while we continue to collect bitcoin. .
It's true that things like this are actually risky and it's not good to normalize them too much, but in this case we also can't judge that it's a mistake because many people actually have different methods and schemes when it comes to bitcoin.
