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. When one understands Bitcoin, they will know the importance of buying, and they wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to do so.
I bought my first bitcoin without really understanding what bitcoin was really all about, that's just the irony of this whole bitcoin investment of a thing. Someone close to me just persuaded me to buy it at that time. It was when I made that initial investment that I started developing interest in knowing more about bitcoin. I believe there are many others that had similar experiences as I did.
If I had waited to understand bitcoin well I wouldn't have gotten started when I did, probably I wouldn't be here today. So I don't think knowledge and investing in bitcoin is a one way traffic. It can work either ways, some know bitcoin well before investing and others can start investing first through the help of colleagues or family members and gradually begin to develop knowledge and more interest about bitcoin.
Indeed, many people buy BTC even though they don't fully understand it, but eventually they become more serious and want to learn about BTC, which ultimately leads to them understanding it. Coincidentally, I also bought BTC when I didn't fully understand it, but as time went on, I continued to learn and eventually began to understand why so many people invest in BTC. However, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with investing in BTC, but we must first know about BTC and everything else so that when we invest, we are more confident. Of course, everyone's experience is different, but the most important thing is that we should not use borrowed money to buy BTC. This is because most people who invest in BTC lose money when they use borrowed money.
Indeed, there are many different stories of people becoming BTC investors, but ultimately, those who succeed are those who hold onto BTC for the long term.
In my opinion, before buying BTC, you definitely need to have some knowledge first, in the sense that we know the basics about BTC, because before buying, we must realistically know the purpose of buying BTC. However, I certainly understand that buying BTC without prior knowledge means that you already have some knowledge, but it is not extensive.
Purchasing BTC with borrowed money is indeed not advisable, as it is true that many people have lost money investing in BTC because they used money from loans. It is absolutely true that those who hold BTC for the long term will certainly have the potential to succeed, and BTC has never disappointed its holders as long as they remain patient.
