I will rather advice people to get knowledgeable about bitcoin first before investing in it. The knowledge acquired will serve as guide against falling market and FUDs. Many newbies who got into bitcoin investment and along the line backed out are results of low or no knowledge about bitcoin investment.
Forcing people into investing in bitcoin is like forcing people into choosing a career, such that if they lack the patience to wait and grow everything crashes and they comeback with blames. A gained knowledge about bitcoin is better than anything else someone tell a potential bitcoin investor.
Even though you don't gain knowledge about Bitcoin, you can easily invest in Bitcoin, but if you insist on gaining knowledge before you can invest in Bitcoin, no problem; you can do that. The most important thing newbies should know before investing in bitcoin is that bitcoin is not a quick way to get rich, so if they want to invest in bitcoin, they should use their discretionary income to invest in bitcoin so that if the bitcoin price drops, they will not get worried or panic to sell their bitcoin at a loss because they use the money that is not meant to solve their monthly expenses to invest in bitcoin.
