I guess that I can excuse their lack of proper knowledge.about the best option for crypto investment
Don't you think you will still get them more confused by using the word Crypto as a newbie they might go astray by investing into the wrong coin thinking it is Bitcoin it could have been proper you say Bitcoin investment rather than crypto investment.
And I dont think it is much necessary to get all proper knowledge about the best option for Bitcoin investment before investing into Bitcoin and I don't think there is any best option as your options might not be some else options every investor has option that works for them.
Yeah you are right one should not use the word crypto because using such word when talking about Bitcoin is not right you are misleading them, this are the reasons why you see a newbie thinking that shitcoin and Bitcoin are the same, if you are discussing about Bitcoin don't use crypto in place of Bitcoin because if you do you have misled some newbies.
For clarity Bitcoin is different from crypto coin those crypto coin you see are also called shitcoins they are not same with Bitcoin.
I disagree with you when you said there is no best option when it comes to bitcoin investment, if a newbie goes into Bitcoin trading it won't be the best for him at that moment the best for him at that stage of his Bitcoin career is long term investment just buying and hodling, there are best options for Bitcoin investment if you choose the wrong part it may delay your accumulation journey for example waiting for dip.
Some people succeed in there Bitcoin investment and some didn't and those that didn't succeed there are people inside that failed because of wrong approach.
