If you are a well experienced BTC user and someone asked for your advice on bitcoin than,

what would be the 1 big advice you will give?

Start investing NOW while the price is still somewhat low.

Secure the Bitcoins. Trezor or offline wallet.

well i am not that experienced but i can say 2 things
1. most important of all is security, you have to inform yourself on how to secure your funds
2. always invest what you can lose

in 2016, generated bitcoin are divised by 2 ...  ;D learn math, bro ...  :D

Apply your skills you use to get paid in the every day world to get the ball rolling on a business where you will make bitcoins.

For technically minded people: "Read the whitepaper, then decide for yourself."
For other people: "Listen to the Canadian Senate hearing with Andreas M. Antonopolous, then decide for yourself."

Only invest what you're willingly able to lose.  

Edit: In other words, don't take money from savings, don't take a loan out against your house, etc.

Problem with this is many coins actually have well written white-papers.  The challenge is then to weed through that and decide what is potentially real, and what is just vaporware.

Buy bitcoins , hold them , NEVER Gamble , sell them when the price rise again  :)

read, watch and learn.

Buy one today and leave it there in your paper wallet. In 20 years, it'll be your retirement money or your children's college fund.

Get a girl friend  ;D

... and give btc to her as gift 8)

read, read, read, and learn.

That's the problem, since the price is low there are not a lot of investment opportunities.

Well I already have a real job. But btc is just my alt job. So what other real job should I find?

Well this is the sort of thinking that will never change the situation. We need to be investive enough.

There is a huge potential in bitcoin technology. Invest wisely by setting aside some money for investment but never take unnecessary risk by putting all your hard earned savings. Only invest in amount that you can afford to lose.

Never store your coins in an Exchange the biggest mistake i made in my earlier days.

Yeah we have learnt it the hard way, but people still make this kind mistakes. otherwise those crashes of exchanges wouldn't affect them much.

Solid advice, as always Elwar.
+1.  ;)

it would be: First read and learn a lot before entering uknown area. It could be minefield.
watch your steps

Learn good about bitcoin world, start to buy bitcoins, nothing else.

CYA

First advice that I'll give to an user which have not a good knowledge about bitcoin is: Buy now because price is low and then, be careful to thief because around bitcoin there are many thief, and then i would suggest him a good way to protect his bitcoin.

Would you be so kind to elaborate that word "CYA". I didn't get it properly.
