I know to lot of people, who may have invested money into the wrong investment platforms outside of Bitcoin but pirade themselves as Bitcoin investment may misunderstand the title of this thread, but that is the truth, and the best way to start your Bitcoin journey.

I have a very long list of platforms that are ran through Bitcoin and most of them turn out to be scam. Participants of these platforms actually parade themselves as Bitcoin investors even when they don't hold the Bitcoin the invested into these platforms apart from random numbers generated for them by the platform founders. They only realise the folly of their decision when the platform crashes.

To be a Bitcoin investor require that you buy Bitcoin and hold in your private wallet where you control the private keys. This is the sure way to qualify as a Bitcoin investors as many other things people call investment in BItcoin are just mirage.

For new people coming into the crypto space, it is very important to get a good education and adequate knowledge. This gives them a basic idea of ​​the proper process and what to do for a safe first exchange and no scam related disappointments. If not properly learned, crypto can lead to manipulation and other forms of deception and temptation. Register, test, and first understand Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency. Just because it's good, doesn't mean you can't understand or buy it. A comprehensive knowledge and support is required especially with the ever-changing cryptocurrency market conditions.

[Marykeller]

I use myself as an example, be for I started to acquire knowledge about Bitcoin, I first bought some amount of Bitcoin and held it in my personal wallet, not an exchange wallet, and I had my wallet keys properly saved, and after that, I became more active innthe forum and reading comments and posts and doing other bitcoin related research,  and that made it easy for my to accumulate more bitcoin while studying, and this has helped me in much greater ways and I thought it could help others here, most especially newbies.

To be sincere to you, you started on the wrong note to acquire bitcoin. Just because you didn't fall into a scammer's way of defrauding people of investing in their hands, doesn't make it a good way to start investing in bitcoin without having the knowledge.

Some people started on the path you started(investing in bitcoin without the knowledge) and they lost their investment to bitcoin investment.

I have heard stories of those who fall victim to scams because they thought the knowledge of bitcoin is not necessary, investing in bitcoin comes first. They made the mistake of investing in bitcoin in someone's hand because of the promise of profits in a few months, storing their bitcoin on an exchange, and not keeping their seed phrase safe.

When the above-stated mistakes happen to them in a way they never expected they will call bitcoin a scam without blaming themselves for not having any knowledge of bitcoin first before investing in it

[Mpamaegbu]

They are worrying about high price and high cost they have to pay to buy Bitcoin but they don't know they can buy any piece of Bitcoin like 0.5 BTC, 0.1 BTC or 0.01 BTC, even smaller.

They can, of course, even buy ⅒ of the least among your listed examples. Anyone can buy as low as $2 (or even $1, if fee allows) but the problem most newbies will have will be how and where to buy. Though it's much easier this day buying Bitcoin from either exchanges or P2P, it wasn't that way when I got on board in 2017. It wasn't easy buying because of the preponderance of scam.

There was something that happened then with my inability to buy Litecoin which was around $4 because I didn't know how to go about it. I was a greenhorn but my instinct told me its price would rise. I didn't know how to go about it and so I missed out buying. I hope our latest newbies don't run into such challenge now.

A lot of new crypto investors go for altcoins instead of bitcoin.  They think the cheaper coins mean they can get more for their money.  Some folks wanna spread things out across different cryptos.  They get hyped up about certain altcoins too.  but they might not totally get the differences between bitcoin and altcoins. And the extra risks with altcoins.  It's important for people just getting into crypto to learn and be careful.  Bitcoin's definitely seen as safer and a good starting point for newbies.

Alot of the bewbies will also want to gain knowledge about the investments and how it works and when it comes to Bitcoin is very hard for you to see any of Bitcoin investors putting down their money without any prior knowledge of Bitcoin and what it stands for, some time because of the complexity of Bitcoin that always raise curiosity among it, potential investors.
So is very hard for us to say or tell whether this advice is right or wrong but from the ops explanation one can decode what it really means to buy Bitcoin before even gaining the in-depth knowledge of Bitcoin and how it works, so this is very important to know to better our u understanding of this topic and what the lesson therein it.

I have seen a lot of misunderstandings around this topic and I have read so many comments that contradict what was my original  intention to use such words and and that manner, the fact is that, Bitcoin have given us free luxury of time, so for that, we can handle and learn along the way, I agree with the fact that one needs some level of knowledge and education before buying your first Bitcoin, but then also even a noble can be helped to hold bitcoin without any information or knowledge of the market.

All that is needed in such a scenario is for the nob to submit tame few instructions under the guidance of an experienced Bitcoin holder, and with that, the newbie can there after owning their first karosho the time to build knowledge as it relates to Bitcoin.

Buying a bitcoin is something of decision and determination, when you have the passion in bitcoin you will purchase a bitcoin either in long-term or short term, so I will say that if you continue to have fear in bitcoin investment their is no time you can invest in bitcoin, because its very obvious that nobody can learn it all about bitcoin, investment is a something of mind and choice and it have to do with two things either you lose or you gain, so profit is not guaranteed in cryptocurrency investment or in bitcoin investment, and when you want to buy more of bitcoin you have to calm down and went until its a time of bearish so that after your purchase a bullrun can manifest and you make your profit

[Broadanbig]

OP it is nice you had the opportunity and privilege to buy Bitcoin while as a beginner and you were able to hold while you learnt and continued your search in acquiring more knowledge on Bitcoin.. I believe as at when you got to know about Bitcoin, you had funds which you can call as spare cash and in that case, you invested in Bitcoin by making a purchase which spurred you into being more interested in learning about Bitcoin. That is very good of you OP but do you think it is every one that is privileged just like you then, currently people are just trying to see how they survive even here too. Although people do invest but it does not necessarily means that one must buy and hold before learning. One can still be in the process of learning to get more knowledge before buying vice versa both are still okay to go with mate.

That's the usual strategy that many does, it's for them to decide for what they're going to invest but nothing beats going first with Bitcoin.

The problem lies to it is that when they invest randomly and don't have time to search for what they're investing. That's when they think Bitcoin isn't worth it because of how expensive it is right now.

But little did they know, those cheap altcoins might be dead soon without even noticing it.

I feel as a newbie, what is more important is to have the knowledge of bitcoin before you buy some bitcoin. If you jump into acquiring some bitcoin, you might end up losing it just when you thought you’ve invested your money into a good investment. Learn the basics, know the pros and cons of investing in bitcoin, know what to disclose and not to disclose to the public when you’re asked about your investment. Without a basic foundation of learning, all your work will become futile if you lose your bitcoin for being ignorant.

When it comes to investing your hard-earned money, it pays to do your homework first.  Doesnt matter if you are looking at Bitcoin or stocks or whatever else - you gotta educate yourself before jumping in.  Rushing into things without understanding what you are getting into is how folks end up losing their shirts when the markets turn.

My advice? Dont be in a hurry.  Do your research and really understand where your money is going.  Once you got that down, then you can start putting your cash to work.  Slow and steady wins the race here.  Go into any investment informed and with eyes wide open.  Take that approach and youll avoid nasty surprises down the road.

If you had said anything other than just knowing the basics, I would have argued with you because some people here in the crypto certainly seem to think that before someone can buy and hold Bitcoin, the person needs to actually know the technical stuffs about Bitcoin of which I know isn't all that true because myself I didn't pass or possessed such knowledge before ever actually buying or even holding my coins.

 I also have different mindset when it comes to investment. I don't easily jump into risking my money and just invest on whatever my choice. I need to make an in-depth research first if this investment is a secure one and if it will be a good choice that will give me sustainable profits in the future. I need to secure my funds as well because as much as possible, I don't want to risk my lifetime savings but will always chose to spend my spare money so that If I lose, I won't have to deal on its consequences after. And lastly, I don't dare to invest if there are no reliable feedbacks from other bitcoin investors, as that is also one way of extending my research.

This and many more as expert guides to securing your investment,  and for sure it depends on the investment any ways because when it comes to assets like Bitcoin, you have to make further enquiries because what most people take as Bitcoin investment is actually not Bitcoin but a third-party cooperative which can fold at any time, and much more also we have to agree that other similar factors such as high profits yield schemes are a scam, so for sure in other to protect your investment you need to have some level of knowledge.


But what makes Bitcoin investment much more secure is that, as an investor, you hold your assets and you control your Bitcoin, this decentralization is what has given Bitcoin investors the freedom and control which allows and gives them the luxury of time to research further while they keep holding.

One of the best approaches is to save some money from your salary to buy bitcoins and you can also try what the others have done, they quit their bad habits and convert into bitcoins instead. we have such wonderful stories as the one who quit smoking and used the money he spent from that to buy bitcoins and he hit the jackpot when he reached the bull runs with months of preparations when he bought those bitcoins at its lower price. It's not always need to start with a big amount rather with constant investment in a small amount, you will build a legacy in your investment when you hit the jackpot like him.

[satscraper]

why not buy first and thereafter learn along the way and keep practising the few things that you learn

Little did novices know the plenty of potential faults attached  to  "buy first then learn" scenario.

The wise is the reverse scheme.

To learn technicalities of bitcoin you totally don't need to deal with real coins, test ones would be enough. You can connect virtually any wallet  to testnet, and use testcoins to learn all stuff about UTXOs (how to frees, to send, to consolidate, you name it).

To learn trading crypto  you may use trading simulators (like this one ) that eliminate the risks of loosing you real stash.

You're no longer a newbie if you knew you had to keep your Bitcoin in your wallet and keep your seed phrase safe.
You already understood that keeping your coins in exchanges isn't safe, that's not something a a newbie would know. For you to know that you already have some knowledge about Bitcoin.
You can advise someone as yourself to do what you did but telling someone totally new to Bitcoin to just buy first doesn't sound good to me.
I know not everybody can follow the same path but it's not advisable to invest in what you do not have an understanding of.
What if that newbie buys Bitcoin and holds and it dips within the week of his buying? What's he going to think since he doesn't have the right knowledge about it?
How's that newbie going to know that he needs his wallet and he should avoid exchanges as a means to save his coins?
At least let them get the basic knowledge first before they can buy.
