When it comes to investing in Bitcoin we must always gain enough experience about the Bitcoin market before we invest in Bitcoin. Many times it is seen that in the condition of lack of experience in Bitcoin, investing in Bitcoin has to face more losses than clubs.
Yes, knowledge is really very important in every aspect of life, especially in business or investment, so we can be guided in the right direction. There are some people who are not part of the cryptocurrency industry because they were scammed by scammers or sold their Bitcoin investments at the wrong time, all due to a lack of proper knowledge.
Investing in Bitcoin is not really hard when someone is genuinely interested. All they need to know at the start is the difference between non-custodial and custodial wallets, and the best exchanges to buy Bitcoin. After buying, they should move it to the right wallet, which is a non-custodial wallet, for proper security. Once someone has this knowledge, they can start investing in Bitcoin. It doesn't require a lot of experience to begin a Bitcoin investment.
When they start investing with they little knowledge they first gathered they will continue learning. Infact start after investing, the desire to protect their funds will make them more serious about learning about Bitcoin and others cryptocurrency. Nobody likes to lose their invested Bitcoin.
As a beginner the primary focus should be on bitcoin. They should not have anything to do with any other crypto currencies, because that's where the scams are. That's the mistake most people do. Beginners should just stay on the lane of bitcoin, be it on learning basis or investing. They should forget whatever anybody is telling them about learning any crypto currencies, because the moment they do that they are already positioning themselves for scams. Whatever you are continuously reading or learning has a great potential of influencing your future decision/judgement. If they dive into learning about other crypto currencies, they will be tempted to invest in it. And when they invest in it and get scammed they will relate it to bitcoin and they will lose their interest to keep holding bitcoin.
My brother, you are very much on point, most newbies in this crypto space are very much misinformed, they were mostly told that shit coin and alt coin gives more returns, but they were not told all it entails, how they fell more than they rise, how most people have lost their hard earned money by investing in shit coin.
Most times, it's just greed, some are rightfully informed, but because of 10x to 100x, they choose to gamble their hard earned money on it, when it goes south, they start saying that they were scammed, and started associating Bitcoin with it, by generalizing it, but the good thing is that, at some point, they will learn the hard way, because greed is never a good thing in this crypto space, so in essence is that it's only greed or misinformation that will make an investor to invest in shit coin other than Bitcoin, when it's very clear that Bitcoin is the only reliable currency in the crypto space.
People always want to hear good things about a particular investment but fail to ask the necessary questions about such investment, individuals don't bother to know the durability and the reliability of the said investment, I think most times I feel that people are misled based of their mindset, someone is been convinced because of what he or she believe, our mindset sometimes makes us to believe what people tell us, I think before we believe in anything called investment, no matter who is putting us through, our question should always be the disadvantages of such investment because many people tell imdiviafuals what they are already expecting to hear and they fall cheaply for it because of their curiosity.
With my little experience, no matter how shitcoins rise, this will always happen once Bitcoin price is high, so anyone wanting to invest in shitcoin should first of all understand that Bitcoin controls the price of other coins so atleast with this understanding, an investors choice of investment is made easy.
