if it looks too good to be true, it is
If its on the TOR network don't trust it
Store your wallet and back it up
Don't trust files from the internet and scan anything dodgy looking against virustotal

Especially don't trust any file related to cryptocurrencies. So many fake trade bots have been posted online, which actually steal the user's wallets.

Not only trade bots, there are also malware in altcoin wallets, gambling bots, etc.
So, don't download any programs without checking the code, and don't run any programs without first testing with a sandbox.

I am new to Bitcoin's and looking to get into them.  What is the main advice you wish someone would have told you when you started with Bitcoins?

Avoid online wallets

Trust noone on this forum

Faucets are only a wast of time

Secure your computer

Don't install or execute anything untrusted

The trust no one on this forum is a bit exaggerated. Yes, you shouldn't trust all the people with neutral trust but there are a few very trusted people with high trust. Their account will not be likely to be bought. If in doubt, you can always use an escrow.

Besides praying, one could try to contribute to cryptocurrencies in any way he can; like by selling things for coins, or doing publicity by making people realize how cool cryptos are, or simply by being generally knowlegable about them.

And spend your bitcoins, not hoard them.
