There are absolutely lot of things to learn about bitcoin but before investing in bitcoin, one only needs the discretionary money to be able to make the decision to invest in bitcoin.
A lot of people argue about having basic knowledge and discretionary money and they’re right to an extent. There are so many people who come into bitcoin from different backgrounds; some might be seasoned investors already looking for where to diversify (like yourself when you first got into bitcoin), some may have heard about it before but didn’t take it serious at first, some may totally be newbies to digital assets. So for this kind of fellows they really need to have some basic knowledge of what they’re investing into.
It’s not that they’re dumb or whatever but it’s a new field for them so they have to know how to buy, and store it properly and have some level of understanding of bitcoin.
If they’ve decided to invest and discretionary money is available, acquiring this simple knowledge should not be a restriction to them starting their investment. It can even be acquired while waiting for the availability of discretionary income. So they can decide to start out small while they continue their learning and improve on their investment and conviction about bitcoin.
I believe practice is the best way to learn I also believe in being ready or prepared. Start small, continue learning and let your conviction grow with experience.
I fuck with idea of starting investing while still continuing to learn about bitcoin, it is definitely a sensible approach.
My only advice is that, the amount you use to invest in bitcoin as a newbie should be a reflection of the level of understanding you have at that particular level you’re in with your investment.
And then as your investment and conviction continue to grow, you can then gradually increase your allocations.
Don’t just go jumping in blindly simply because you happen to have some discretionary income available to you at the time.
