You can get passive earning by investing in shares. Or maybe real estate somwhere at good location where is big demand so the value is rising. Or from valuable watches, jewlery, art, gold. Bitcoin could be also source of passive income if you have invested it somwhere or maybe just by holding it and waiting for price to go up.
No not agree with you these source can not be source of passive income, these source can be investment source but can's be passive income source. Getting a real job or a business income e.g. regular income from a shop can be passive income.

I can see you two have two opposite opinions over there, and I'm afraid I can't agree with you. A job or a shop usually brings to you an ordinary life, nothing special. Investing in shares, real estate, gold,... are common ways to get rich, and works for lots of people. I personally believe in bitcoin too.
"Getting a Real Job" itself means you are working for you to earn money. Having a real job is not a passive income rather it is a main source of income. Let us not confuse ourselves with simple terms. A passive income is a source of income in which it generates revenue without your everyday work. Passive income such as interest or bond payments are good source of passive income.
It is true that a real job is not considered as a passive source of income because you have to worked for it, but let’s be honest the best way to earn money is to do something for it, trading and gambling may earn you but they have risks.

Mining bitcoin might be considered as a passive income, but it requires a lot of initial and running capital for hardware set up in order to make a good profit.
We will all love to have a source of passive income since that is the dream of everyone, to earn money and to not have to work for it, but that is why it is very difficult to acquire such an income, and that is why most people go to their jobs every day.
