Start at the beginning. Read about how Bitcoin works. Learn about the security model and how it differs from traditional banking. Try buying a small amount of coin, putting it into cold storage (paper wallet), then selling it back for USD.
Then when you're comfortable with that basic knowledge, start following the history of Bitcoin and current events. Get a basic understanding of the events of this year. Learn about other cryptos, too. You might not have an opinion about any of it, or you might.
Earlier this year I was trying to explain Bitcoin to a friend of mine and he expressed the common sentiment, "I wish I had gotten in sooner." That was when Bitcoin was $1,200. Now it's trading at over $3,400. In the 1930s, people were saying the same thing about Coca-Cola stocks: I should have bought them in 1918. Nobody can predict the future. Investing is nothing but learning and applying what you learn. If you understand and like something, invest what you can afford. If not, don't.
