You believe that a newbie to bitcoin needs to learn about bitcoin before starting to invest into it?
I don't think so, they just need to have some basic knowledge and start right away than procrastinate or wait to be fully prepared before starting, as that will delay the time of investment since Bitcoin is not waiting for anyone. As time goes on the more Bitcoin is becoming more expensive than before, that is enough reason why people need to have the basic knowledge and start right away.
What are the basics that the newbie needs to learn about bitcoin before getting started?Just like what have been taught here countless times, as a newbie investors that just came into the space that want to invest in Bitcoin, what he just needs in other to start is the basic knowledge on Bitcoin, like how to buy and hold in a safe wallet, and to also know that investment in Bitcoin is done from our discretionary income only, along the line he can seek for more knowledge on it, to be more knowledgeable on what and what measures needs to be in place to be able to hold strong while accumulating, because if he doesn't seek knowledge on how to hold strong, even though he has the will to hold, he will be powerless when an emergency situation arise that threatens his holdings, and he has no emergency and reserve funds in place to protect his investment.
So having the basic knowledge about Bitcoin is very important for a start, but seeking further knowledge on what's required in other to hold strong is key in your ability to hold strong into the future.
