Yes, and there are other ways of obtaining BTC other than buying them.

You can sell services or objects in exchange for bitcoins, you can mine them (but that requires investment, ASICs and infrastructure + electricity), you can take part in polls, signature campaigns here on the forum... There are lots of ways to obtain BTC, even without buying it.

I understand the idea of your post OP, but I don't think that having money prevents people from doing their research before investing.

When you have a lot of money, you don't want to lose it foolishly. When you have little money, you don't want to lose it either. I think it's more a question of personality, maturity and patience than financial possibilities if you look at people's buying behaviour.

It’s not entirely correct. The people without money actually study hard to get grasp of the thing so that they could offer services on it to raise money and most of them are usually employed by the rich folks to help them invest this is a general principle to all investments. But I tell you not all the rich folks that do that. There some that actually go to read all about it before diving into it.

In fact I would say those that do not have money or say little money are the ones that make mistakes in investing into either bitcoin or cryptocurrency at large. This is because they are eager to make lots of profits from it and therefore they rely on charts signals by influencers on social media claiming on how the crypto space could get them rich easily. As for the one with money, he is very skeptical into going into just anything that could actually Would result into him getting into loss.


Also without experience on it you can’t equally test your knowledge, because knowledge with having that experience is just a shallow understanding of the subject matter. So both should be equally balanced

Well, yeah people who don't have money to invest in bitcoin may have double or tripled their effort to study more about cryptocurrency in general so they can use their knowledge to generate income in crypto related field and so they could invest those money they have earned.
I've seen people offering some services in crypto trading, they offer basic and advance fundamentals of how to predict prices . That's one way of earning and at the same time enhancing your learning.

There are people who cannot afford long hours just to earn bitcoin so they usually use their own money to earn profits in return.

But there are people who doesn't have any money to use so most of the time they exert more efforts to gain bitcoins by working multiple jobs they can get on any platform they are. So you cannot say about its good not to have money to invest since its still depends on situation we are facing on.

That's wrong, not everyone who have money are like that, I'm sure of it because we have bitcoin millionaires and not to mention learning is different for each individual, some people don't want to learn because they think already have some level of understanding on how bitcoin works and they see a semblance of it from their other investments so they skip ahead while there are others that wants to learn, I think that this is the better distinction when it comes to two types of bitcoin investor, those who want to learn and those who don't want to.

That's wrong but on the other side it's right too, don't equate bitcoin millionaires with the people OP used as his observational sample. I agree with you that this is just about people wanting to learn and not.

Referring to the 2 conditions described by the OP, i think it's better not to have money first before actually investing in bitcoin. Try to imagine, if you have the money to invest in bitcoin (without knowing anything there), but at the same time the bitcoin hype is at its peak, do you have time to do more research? of course you will be afraid to miss the hype. So, i really agree with the important point stated by the OP that it is actually better not to have money first, so that we are not in a hurry and have a lot of free time to learn about bitcoin itself.

I don't know how many people I've researched, or simply people you've met or heard about in different mediums, but I don't think human investment will be exactly the same, right from the start. in thinking the knowledge element has classified a hierarchy, or you can also mix things where rich people lack knowledge or poor people have a lot of knowledge, and people are both rich and knowledgeable and vice versa. The point is that investment behavior is based on elements of knowing them and then coming to specific experiences, to give us desires and goals. Just like a story that reminds me of buddhist monks, they don't know about bitcoin but they have a life and wisdom that is superior to the majority, but if we haven't lived like that, the Life operates like a game with all sorts of pitfalls that arise when given the opportunity to choose whether to participate or refuse is already a decision that has a lot to say.

Those who don't have money will forget about Bitcoin because they don't have any money to invest in the first place.

Those who don't have money will trying to earn free Bitcoin through Bitcoin faucets, join scam bounties, trade their KYC to earn crypto, sign up on various centralized exchange which have challenge to earn crypto etc.

I don't believe they will learn and read many stuff about Bitcoin, most people will not want to learn something that they will not able to earn.

Took me a few minutes to understand the gist of the OP. If you have no money, it represents a complicated financial situation for an uncertain time. Maybe what you learn about investing is not useful for yourself, and it is dangerous to teach others before you get into it yourself.

Not that I'm preventing you from learning early, nor do I know at which stage you'll be ready to put your money in. Learning how bitcoin works is also a form of knowledge investment that should come before real money.
