Very important for a beginner, and another thing a beginner needs to have in mind, is to invest small amounts and not rush in with a huge amount, especially when there is not much understanding of Bitcoin.

Some beginner investors make mistakes by investing too much, and after some time, if the market is not going the way they want, they end up selling their Bitcoin out of panic. Understanding Bitcoin better is very important because it is the understanding one has of Bitcoin that will enable one to stay calm in the market, and this understanding also helps one to make good decisions about one's investment.
