It is true , he should have to start faucets if he is unable to get info from the thread already explained, with faucets he will earn some amount of bits and so it will be interesting for him to learn about bitcoin on that sites.

Bitcoin is same as fiat works. You can buy anything with bitcoins, first you need your own bitcoin wallet. You can try the online one, blockchain.info. then you can start earn bitcoin.

Bitcoin is a form of digital currency, created and held electronically. No one controls it. Bitcoins aren’t printed, like dollars or euros – they’re produced by people, and increasingly businesses, running computers all around the world, using software that solves mathematical problems.

Congratulations on joining this forum and getting to know more about bitcoins! I'm sure that you'll receive a warm welcome from our community. Bitcoins are basically a cryptocurrency that is decentralized and anonymous. You can use it anywhere in the world.

Good luck on your bitcoin journey, if you have any other questions let me know

I think you can get the answers here in this forum but if you don't want to dig some threads about bitcoin try to watch some informative videos in youtube there are many videos out there that will explain the answer.

I recommend to you to just read some threads out there to have a idea on what is bitcoin because for me all your questions can be answered by this forum by just creating a thread or by doing some search, just type the keyword on the search tab and many threads will show. Also don't forget to be active to rank up and start earning bitcoin here in forum by joining signatures campaign . But if you have some skills offer it to other members to make your earning on bitcoin easier than signature campaign.

You can get some money through signature campaigns. But usually these campaigns are for those who have a higher position in the forum.
I am participating in a campaign of a YABTCL.COM site. it is the only campaign that accepting new members. They accept Jr. Member to Full Member. Is some money from without work. Just do what you already do ... usually posts here in the forum.

I think you need to check op rank first. He is newbie and minimum requirement to join YABTCL is Jr. Member. By the time he get rank up to Jr. member the signature campaign already full 10/10.

At the Moment there is one space available for the campaign, but that should be gone pretty quickly.

I takes you 2 weeks being active on the Forum to get to Jr rank.

In the meantime I would recommend you getting an online Bitcoin wallet like xapo. There are quite a few faucet sites which give you Satoshi (tiny Bitcoins) directly to your wallet for solving captchas. I know most People on the Forum don't recommend faucets but ist a good start to get ~10$ in BTC in 2 weeks.

I would not recommend any gambling sites as it just makes you addicted to gambling (= and you will lose anyway in the Long run.
