Yes, it is always important for people to have a good knowledge of the investment they want to start so that they can know how to handle the investment and become successful with it, but when it comes to bitcoin investment, newbies or new investors don't necessarily need to gain any bitcoin knowledge before they can start investing their money into bitcoin. What newbies or new investors should be concerned about in bitcoin investment is their finances to know if or not they have a discretionary fund that will allow them to invest in bitcoin.
