It is expected that beginners understand Bitcoin first, and if that understanding is lacking, there is no need to buy Bitcoin if they do not understand it well.
I am sorry to disappoint you if all things are being equal just as one of my college teacher will always say back then, I will suggest that this understanding you are talking about will only be maximized when the beginner is already in to the market and already buying Bitcoin, buying Bitcoin will optimally enhance understanding how it works to a greater length, I will crusade that what a beginners needs is to have the personal conviction to trust the process which will give them the open mind to learn more on their way up with a basic knowledge and the availability of a discretionary income to get started.
