- Understand a base knowledge of security and privacy, own your keys.
- Do not let yourself be lead by charlatans and "crypto influencers" who are just in it for money. Follow the technology not the price.
- Don't be shy, speak out and ask things.
As for the basics: Understand addresses, wallets, difference between hot and cold. Custodial and non-custodial, etc. Understand how to make a transaction. Learn the Lightning Network afterward.

You can buy a fraction of a Bitcoin.
It's such a simple concept but many people just don't get it and think it's too expensive to buy.

Buying BTC KYC just to grab a piece of the cake does not solve any recent issue and supports mass surveillance. P2P is an essential part of the Bitcoin ethos. Monero over Lightning. A passphrase is mich more important then /4 words. Use Aur Hardware Walkets shoukd NEVER connect to any other device. Circular economy Is important. Bitcoin is not an investment. Centralized Exchanges are Fiat scans. Use your own node. Support open source. Stop consuming mass media. Don‘t fight each other because all of us suffer for the same reasons.

Everyone comes to Bitcoin for their own reasons and in their own way.
Key points for beginners: Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that operates without a central authority. It uses a technology based ledger, called the blockchain, for secure transactions which cannot be altered. You can own fractions of a Bitcoin. There will never be more than 21-million.
Secondary: Understanding mining and wallets.
Not so important to know: Technical details on how the blockchain works or advanced trading strategies.

All the base knowledge you need is here: https://en.bitcoin.it
Learn about the network's rules and what transactions are and are not allowed. Once you have a strong understanding of the rules everything else will start to fall into place.
Don't worry about what is and isn't important, just what interests you. Learn to practice good personal security. Learn how to protect your seed phrase at all costs. Listen to yourself. If at any point you feel like the action you are about to do feels risky, stop doing that action and educate yourself on the risks.
