As you are investing make sure you are also learning , understanding what are investing in will help build your confidence more . The reason many are still having doubt about Bitcoin is because they don't understand the technology behind it, the purpose it was invented the first place .

No, I’m not saying you should go into some complex tech aspect of bitcoin before investing. You can start with just the basics, then with time you will advance as you accumulate. Doing so you will be able to build a better confidence in bitcoin and it will make embarking folks (those interested in bitcoin) easier too .

Investing is a process, so far someone is doing it the right way, the person would definitely learn new things on the long run, even if there's a mistake along the line you’ll learn from it an take correction. For instance those who stored their coins with coldcard would learn to store in a safer wallet by moving it to a wallet backed with passphrase.

What people need to start investing is discretionary funds, with common sense they can figured out other things and gain knowledge simultaneously while on the investment.
Agreed, but not all mistakes are corrected or can be safely learned from. In that case, a mistake can remain a lifelong cry. For example: A person has accumulated Bitcoin for 5 years but lost the coins due to incorrectly storing the seed phrase.Then there may be no opportunity to correct such a mistake. So I think it is important to have at least basic security knowledge before investing.

Start small by learning about the basics and security of Bitcoin then increase knowledge along with investing and the investment money shouldn't put daily needs, emergency funds or future essential expenses at risk. It is important for everyone to know these things. However, the more expensive the mistake, the more people will remember the lessons they learn from it for the rest of their lives.

Before investing, a beginner only needs a discretionary income, not Having basic security knowledge shouldn’t be a reason why they can’t start buying and investing In bitcoin. Basic security knowledge is good, but that is not what is required  to kickstart bitcoin investment . What is needed before investing in bitcoin is just a discretionary income and the moment newbies have a discretionary income then they can start investing in bitcoin. They don’t need to delay investing because of basic security knowledge, they can still learn about their bitcoin security even after they might have started investing in bitcoin as what matters most is if they have a discretionary income available to kickstart their investment journey. Basic security knowledge is not the requirement for startups, what is required is a discretionary income to use and start accumulating bitcoin and along the line they can learn every other thing and also through their experience while they are accumulating and investing In bitcoin.

I don't think that it's important to have the basic security knowledge of bitcoin before you get started because the basic knowledge that you are saying might not be basic security knowledge to someone else and it might be a big deal to him which is why there is no need of that since, in the beginning of your bitcoin investment, you will be storing it in an exchange i.e your first purchased bitcoin since, you are DCAing.

All a brand new investor needs is his discretionary income and the exchange to buy his first bitcoin for him to get started with his bitcoin investment. He can learn everything he needs to know gradually, as he is building his bitcoin stash overtime. Let's not deprive ourselves from starting immediately, because delay is dangerous and bitcoin investment is a long-term which gives you enough time to learn and improve your knowledge overtime.

What really matters to leave the no coiner zone and become a low coiner.

If the device you are installing the wallet on remains intact for 5 years, you will not need the seed phrase. I have installed a non-custodial wallet on my phone and have written the seed phrase on paper in multiple places. I have not written down the security key anywhere, I just remember it. Every investor should pay attention to the security of their Bitcoin wallet because if the device on which it is stored is lost or damaged for any reason, you will have to restore that wallet.

I would tell a new investor to study about Bitcoin wallet security because after holding Bitcoin for a long time, if you lose your Bitcoin for any reason it will be an unexpected loss. In this age of information technology you can learn about everything you want to know online.
