I don’t understand why everyone says, “Learn Bitcoin really well, understand how it works, learn about hashrates, mining, self-custody, etc. and then buy it.”

My mom buys gold every month (it’s a cultural thing where I’m from), and her parents did the same. They never learned why they should buy gold or how gold mining works. They just thought it was valuable, so they bought it and kept it until they needed to cash it out to buy something.

My question is: Why do Bitcoin supporters say that we need to learn the technology, how it works, hashrates, and all that stuff before buying? It doesn’t make sense to me because most people are never going to put in that much effort to learn these things.

If we want ordinary people to invest in Bitcoin, and we expect them to learn all of this first, I don’t think that’s going to happen. What do you think?
