Yes, it is wrong to force anyone to do things that didn't come from their heart. But the first major stuff newbie ought to know is the purpose of Bitcoin creation, functionality of Bitcoin blockchain, and transaction which I believe will make them love the technology aspect of Bitcoin than benefits aspect.
Second, how to use a self-custodial Bitcoin wallet securely (how to secure their bag, and also have to do with transaction fee), and they can then be taught the volatility of the market.
If they are taught about market volatility at first, they may be greedy and believe that they know everything.
This is where most newbies or novice do get it twisted. I can remember when I started though it wasn't an easy task to say but with determination and patient to keep exploring tools and other resourceful material that makes one understood the whole progression of Bitcoin and to that which is related to investments is something that has given the edges and geared me up to this level. And of course newbies must not take basics for granted since it's what gives them a clearer view on how to start and follow their investments and trading journey.
