Hello,

Welcome.

If you aren't a technical person than secure yourself with one of these companies:

1) https://greenaddress.it
 2-of-2 multisignature with nLockTime (possible temporarily unable to spend funds) / Free
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=521988.0

2)https://www.bitgo.com/
2 of 3 multisig / Free
 
3) https://www.coinbase.com/vault   or coinbase.com
2 of 3 multisig / insured / Free

4) https://www.bitalo.com/why_bitalo
 2-of-2 multisignature

5) Circle.com

Otherwise here is a lot more knowledge to secure your coins yourself:

Use some common sense as well.

1) Avoid investing in Bitcoin or any alts until you are very familiar the technology. Many alt coins are pump and dump scams. Simply use bitcoins as a useful tool in the meantime

2) Do not mine bitcoins until you go through extensive learning

3) Do not invest or gamble away your bitcoins with any service or person who guarantees returns

This bears repeating, since it's a significant source of loss for new members...

If you see a post or website promising any return (even 1% a day), stay clear.  They are called ponzi scams, and they will take your coins and run.

If it sounds to good to be true chances are it is.  Many ponzi scams will have amazing offers that no one could actually do.  Use common sense.

Also be cautious when someone recommends something with a referral link.  It might be great, but they have a reason on recommending it to you.

It depends on what exactly you expect from bitcoin?

Are you looking for long term investment? Or just want to have technical know-how?? So there are many websites and videos on youtube on bitcoins which will give the exact idea of what bitcoin is all about you must watch rise and rise of bitcoin documentary on youtube that will clear your all issues.

Yup, caveat emptor should be the motto of this forum (imo).

On the more technical side, I noticed that no one pointed you to the bitcoin wiki (where there's loads of fun info): https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Main_Page

Cheers and welcome!

Hello & welcome. This is a good place!

.... to find some amazingly helpful people and some of the most corrupt and selfish psychopaths ready to take advantage of the credulous.   

Skepticism is very important to maintain in these forums.

If you are a visual person like me, the best way to learn is by watching videos instead of reading endless threads. One of my favorite videos for noobs:

You can use faucets to get some bitcoins because you are starting and maybe you dont want to buy bitcoins with your own money because you cant really buy small amounts easily wich might be a problem with bitcoins at start

After you get set up at an exchange it's easy to buy small or big.  What country are you in?

Hello, welcome to the community Smiley

1. For start to understand about bitcoin, read bitcoin pdf: https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf , read this too: https://bitcoin.org/en/faq , also you can find more information in this forum.
2. Choose a right wallet: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet (my recommend is electrum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=973768.0 )
3. Be careful with investment which based on ponzi scheme, cloud mining service too, most all ponzi scheme you can check this out: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=878387.0
4. EXPLORE Cheesy
