The first education should be on how to secure their wallet's private keys.
Because beginners can buy a lot of Bitcoin with their savings and even become big investors but still lack the security knowledge that must be done.

Many can buy it, but few can keep it safe.
Maybe buying small amounts first like you said would be a good experiment, because while learning how to invest in Bitcoin properly and safely.

But never give investment advice to others even if you understand Bitcoin.
Because investment advice will backfire when the advice is wrong and results in other people's losses.
Providing information may be just general knowledge about Bitcoin and what are the benefits and risks.

That's expected.

The actual point of my post was for the newbie's willingness to be personally responsible for absolute control of his/her own wealth. Because if a newbie is repelled by the fact that he/she could really lose his/her whole savings if he/she HODLed them in Bitcoin, then that person probably shouldn't own Bitcoin yet.

If we chronicles through the years from 2009 to date 2023 (two decades) we can see a magnificent growth in it's adoption. There's no country in the world that bitcoin is not known or spoken of mindless of any restrictions or ban policies from the government of such country. One of the major challenge the spread of bitcoin is facing is not the literacy/educational  aspect as there are individuals that have heard  about bitcoin but don't have the financial power to invest in the project since when they were told.

I had a personal encounter with a stranger in a public bus sometime ago, normally am not part of those that go around preaching to people about bitcoin as a way to avoid unnecessary blames thereafter. But I was moved to talk a little about bitcoin to the stranger sitting next to me in the bus that faithful day. What struck me was when after our little chat was his response," I'll have loved to give it a try but I just don't have extra finance to invest".

Many people are battling to survive with the little that comes in handy, and it's only when you have gotten more than enough that's when you can buy the idea of investment. Unavailability of money is a big barrier to bitcoin adoption  than lack of education.

Yes, I agree with you that before money, having the basic knowledge of what you intend to invest in is very important, as the more knowledgeable you are, the more likely you are to make the best decision in your intended investment, which is why I always tell people who are interested in learning about Bitcoin to first start from getting conversant with it's basic features such as being decentralized, volatile and an independent digital money, e.t.c.

Knowledge is not wasted, it should be treasured. Whether you have enough money to invest in Bitcoin or not, being knowledgeable about it will help you understand blockchain technology, the potential and risks associated with digital currency, and the development of the cryptocurrency market. Updating and expanding your knowledge is always a good investor in yourself. In addition, we should create a positive educational and information exchange environment while protecting individual rights and not forcing anyone to accept or use Bitcoin against their will.

You are right in many ways because when we talk about Bitcoin education all that is needed is a mobile device with an internet function,  this is very simple and Bitcoin educational materials are readily available for everyone to study and have practical involvement at will.


Quite alright the technical aspects that have to do with codes and development require special training but not everyone needs that,  as an investor what is needed is the financial resources and there is no substitution to that on lack the knowledge that we can get it for free but we all need both knowledge and the funds to build a stable financial future.

Yes, I believe that the adoption of bitcoin depends heavily on both education and money. The latest technological advancements will be utterly invisible to someone who lacks knowledge, and they will struggle to comprehend them despite all attempts to explain that to them. Money is still another major barrier to widespread acceptance of Bitcoin since, despite their best efforts to listen, those who lack the money will find it difficult to use the technology owing to their limited resources.


It is not when we have money that we should be looking for knowledge. Having knowledge before getting money to invest always comes with a great of help because it will make us have good plans,but when money comes, some people find it hard to plans well or learn very well. So having no money to invest in Bitcoin discourages us from learning about Bitcoin technology.

First of all, I'll sound it as a caveat, don't borrow money from anywhere to invest in bitcoin it's never advisable based on the volatility risk involved.

However, I still hold my stand that money is of more essence to education in the adoption of bitcoin. You can be educated about bitcoin and don't have the money to use the bitcoin education to your benefit, of what use would such knowledge be to you when it's not yet creating asset to you. Not until you have money to invest the education becomes idle and of no use.

See it this way, Mr A, has bitcoin education but no money at all to invest. That alone could be a discouragement to the next man who wanted to learn but remembered he has no money to invest same like Mr A. Then just imagine in the opposite direction about the next man with money to invest already available but just waiting to be educated about bitcoin. What do you think would be his next move after been educated?

The sad thing is that many people know about Bitcoin but only a few gain interest while many of them just ignore it. It is important to have a proper education about crypto but also, it was very important if that person had an interest in this. Indeed, we can't force someone to adopt and use Bitcoin as currency, it was their choice either but somehow, correcting them with their negative views could help and enlighten their thinking and would possibly change their mind.

Honestly, convincing people was hard and we can't expect them to change right away but once seeing it was been used by others, this will also boost their trust and confidence.
