‎ Why Understanding the Technology Matters Before Buying

[FrankoKool]

Going deep into Bitcoin technical aspect is not completely necessary when come to buying bitcoin.  Personally , understanding the technology will help you build more confidence in Bitcoin . Like you said many don’t really know the main purpose Bitcoin was created the first place . Being familiar with how Bitcoin works can also give you an edge in other areas, especially when it comes to security, self-custody and understanding what you actually own (Decentralize) .

When come to buying bitcoin . What you actually need is proper planing and good market insight too , understanding the market and also being familiar with historical data , knowing your risk tolerance , can play play major role  in buying bitcoin or how you approach your bitcoin accumulation.

You said it all, in addition, bitcoin investment is not an avenue for quick money because some misunderstood it to Ponzi where you invest 2 to take 10 within a space of 2weeks.
Bitcoin investment is a long term investment which can take more than you expected. That's why you need to understand how it works,when and how to invest,ask questions from those who have more knowledge and what you can risk(Risk management)

I sometime feel that bitcoin investment is not best described when people keep saying one should invest only what they can afford to lose. The statement is already referring to that you may face potential loss in the investment. The fact still remains that bitcoin investment is the only investment that you’re assured of making profit from after investing for the long term, not a get rich quick scheme avenue that we see in most altcoins and investors eventually face losses when they invest into them.

The transition of bitcoin from its inception has already explained explicitly what bitcoin is all about, you don’t need to panic and fear of meeting with losses as a result of the market not increasing in price. Bitcoin is on an uptrend trajectory, and so shall it be as long as the current still exists.

If you don't understand Bitcoin and you just decide to buy randomly there are different ways this could end up.
For instance buying high then all of a sudden the price falls, automatically you'll feel like you just bagged a loss and will not recover the loss because you didn't properly understand how bitcoin works. For those that have the knowledge, they will simply hold while others would get scared and self off what's left of their bitcoin to avoid further loss.
This is one of the major reasons why you need to learn and understand bitcoin before starting your bitcoin investment.
Bitcoin isn't an overnight investment that yields tons of instant profit but one which when held long term with a good strategy would yield consideration profit and if you use the DCA method could definitely change your financial status.

If you categorize Bitcoin investment knowledge, all what you just pointed out are actually supposed to be what should follow after taking the step of changing your balance to any amount of Bitcoin. While gradually building your portfolio, complex learning can start and so it's not reasonable to wait until you learn everything before starting.

Just like buying a car, learning how to drive a car is enough for you to buy a car not to wait until you understand the common signs a car gives for one condition or the other before you go on to buy a car because as you start using your car those conditions will be properly understood.  So you see, no need waiting to understand Blockchain technology before starting Bitcoin investment because it's what you can get while already hodling Bitcoin.

Yes because it can be done simultaneously, waiting to learn everything is same as procrastinating, Bitcoin is volatile and also too complex, moreover knowing how to buy and where to buy from is not something very tough to comprehend so if someone understands that and have the discretionary funds figured out it's best to start buying and learn other stuffs in the process.
 Moreover the best way to understand something is by putting it to practice, someone can learn the process of driving a car but driving it make it easy to understand how different parts function, likewise buying and holding Bitcoin helps an investor understand what it takes to be an investor.

While I agree with the getting started before furthering on the knowledge aspect of bitcoin, I think the buying car analogy is wrong or not properly put, you can say; what’s needed to buy a car is just the money to buy the car, then knowing about the functionality of the car and how to drive comes after that way it’s more relatable to buying bitcoin first before you can start understanding technical matters or further learning.

For some who are interested in just buying and then selling, they don't really need to do much because the only thing expected, as far as I'm concerned, is for you to know how to buy and then sell. There is not much work to be done when it comes to buying and then selling, but even if it is easy to understand, we also have to understand that we still have to learn because we need to also understand certain things after learning how to buy and sell. The holding part is what even makes you an investor because it is not easy, and this is something we have to be prepared for so that when we start holding, we wont want to sell anything.

‎Knowing and understanding all this go help you alot especially when buying to avoid mistakes and losses knowing it's unreversible.

We no really need know everything to start, the major thing na to dey willing and open to learn. Bitcoin technology is broad and no  one understands it all at a go. It's a continuous learning path that requires consistent studying and researching to stay updated with the trend and improvement proposals. Buying doesn't have much complexity the issue begins with ensuring our purchases are safe. One can start simple and as the keep upgrading their knowledge and grow in experience the can then expand their security consciousness.

You shouldn't wait to learn everything before you start investing in Bitcoin. There is no end to learning. No matter how much you know about Bitcoin. There will always be new things to learn over time. It is unrealistic to become an expert on every aspect of blockchain technology and security. It may be more effective to start investing according to your ability with the necessary basic concepts and increase your experience and knowledge over time. You don't need to be an expert in technical knowledge to start investing in Bitcoin. The main goal of a new investor should be to start investing according to your financial ability be aware of the risks and gradually increase your knowledge. Waiting to learn everything completely can delay starting to invest. It is not necessary to learn everything before starting. It is more reasonable to start with the basic concepts necessary for investing. And learn complex topics as you gain investment experience.
