I doubt that there is a need to learn about self-custody before getting started investing into bitcoin. One of the most important things to know before investing into bitcoin is whether or not you have a discretionary income or not. If you have a discretionary income, then you can get started, and learn various aspects as you go, including self-custody. Surely, the more you invest into bitcoin the more you likely need to know in advance, yet you can still get started and study in order to figure out if you are putting in $10 per week or $100 per week, or $1k per week or even if you might want to start with lump summing with $10k or more. The more you put in the more that you likely need to know, yet at the same time, different people earn differing amounts, so if a guy is earning $100k or more a year, then he likely has more options than a guy who is earning $6k or less per year.
You are absolutely correct discretionary is a great factor to consider when trying to start Bitcoin investment because that is where an investor will be dipping hand to invest and most importantly the emergency and reserve funds which can be seen as the life of every investment because our investment is like a dependent property which can not function properly without emergency and reserve funds.
Definitely, learning is a gradual process and with time one will find out they are really improving and things that were confusing and giving them tough time will be clear and easy. There is an extent one investment will grow, sometimes they will be feeling insecure they will look for a way to add more security to there wallet and also ways that their wallet can not be compromise.
Yes someone who earns more, monthly or yearly has more option than someone that earns little but sometimes what is been earned monthly or yearly doesn't determine the growth of our investment rather the ability for one to follow the principle of Bitcoin investment will determine the growth and how well they will go.
Yep. It tends to take a long time to build up a BTC investment portfolio, unless we are able to front load our investment and/or lump sum into our investment at various points in time. Nonetheless, from time to time, we well may need to measuring our BTC accumulation progress and also potentially make adjustments in regards to how we are investing into bitcoin and/or managing our cashflows, including managing our various back up funds.
Yea and it is because of this long term we have traders people who can not wait till that stimulated period which makes them sometimes end up where they never expected. Sometimes people don't know that nothing good comes so easily, you have to work for it and you don't just work for it rather you work with wisdom. Front loading is like a rocket that drives us closer or faster to overaccumulation stage within a short interval but front loading is capacity based. What causes adjustment in regards to how we are investing is change in salary or wages
