A lot of new people entering Bitcoin seem to focus mainly on price movements at first, which is understandable.
But after spending more time learning, it feels like some of the more important topics are things like self-custody, privacy, mining, decentralization or how the network actually functions.
What part of Bitcoin do you think beginners tend to overlook early on, but later realize is important?
What Bitcoin topic do you think beginners usually overlook the most?

The “you can’t do anything with it” people and the fact that storing/accruing value IS a use case, same as transacting or accounting. I’d argue it’s the most important thing money does.

honestly…..risk. everyone comes in thinking about price, entries, “how much can I make”, but almost nobody thinks about what happens if they’re wrong, I learned this the hard way. one bad position without a plan can wipe out weeks or months sometimes. once you start thinking in terms of risk first, everything else gets clearer
What is money?
Start with that.
