You mentioned basic knowledge of investment. Having basic knowledge is one of the basic foundations to start investing. If you ignore this issue or try to ignore it, you may be putting your valuable assets at risk. It is important to have the ability to buy, how to store or choose a reliable wallet. Even knowing how to use your chosen wallet correctly is part of basic knowledge. If you make mistakes in acquiring basic knowledge, then you are leaving a shaky foundation for investment, the results of which will not be positive at all. Even acquiring deep knowledge after starting investment is important.
Knowledge about wallet security is better placed as the most important thing, even more than basic knowledge because knowledge about wallets is the foundation for long-term investment sustainability.
I think JayJuanGee's post can be read below on your answer to my post above.
Placing expensive and valuable assets like Bitcoin must be serious because it is not the same as gambling which is easy to lose or get big money. Bitcoin investment is not just an investment but has a clear goal during the investment period.
I never said that learning about wallets is basic knowledge that must be known before getting started investing into bitcoin.
I agree learning about wallets is important, but getting started is much more important, and you don't need to know about wallets when you first start.
Of course, the larger your bitcoin investment, the more important it becomes to aim towards storing your bitcoin yourself rather than keeping them on custodial services, and the threshold regarding how much bitcoin anyone is willing to keep with custodial services is going to depend on individual circumstances, yet at the same, time I would think that most people should be striving to protect their own interest in regards to not keeping too many coins with custodial services.
