I think the answers depends also WHEN did you joined or started to read about Bitcoin. Somebody that started in 2010-2012 will not have the same answer as somebody started in 2017-2020.
For me,, as starting in 2012, it was the mining process. Maybe that's why I started with mining, tinkering with installing software, miners etc but it was quite different than what is today's mining. Back then also weren't so many wallets, apps etc to test and learn. LOL was BitcoinQT and later Schildback (mobile) and Electrum among other dead apps. The experience was way different than for a guy starting in 2018-2020 in full shitcoining era... and also LN.
But in general, once I read the Bitcoin whitepaper, it was all clear for me: I must learn this "new thing" as much as I can and use it. I wasn't too much confused, I get it strait to what it is: a powerful weapon against the fucking fiat system.
If I would start again, I think I will do the same path...never shitcoining.
