Despite the fact that I believe you can't " learn it all" when it comes to investments, I believe prior knowledge is still very important. When it comes to investments, trusting your guts and preparing for a few losses is also important. Some may invest with lots of knowledge and information, loose a little and give up. We ought to know that as investors your going to loose some and win some, but learning reduces the chances of losses.
As a new bitcoin investor, having prior knowledge can reduce your risk to its bearest minimum and at some point, you can even be able to sustain some level of profits from the insent of your DCA journey, it all depends on the approach you adopt in your investment.
Quite right to prepare for both losses and profits, since bitcoin by its nature is volatile and the price could go in whatever directions which make it hard to predict bitcoin's next price direction.
