Hello there! I have a friend who works with bitcoin and it seems pretty interesting. The whole thing seems somewhat confusing for me, could you guys give me a quick rundown of what it is, how it works, how to earn it, etc? Would be very helpful! Thanks

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.
