what is a bit and how do I get the coin?

localbitcoins.com or coinbase.com

Godspeed, things are going to get crazy    Tongue

a bit (binary digit) is the smallest piece of data on a computer - 8 bits to a byte, 1000 bytes to a kilobyte, 1000 kb to a megabyte etc etc etc

a bitcoin is data used as a currency

a bitcoin is divisible by 100 million

0.00000001 of a bitcoin is commonly called a satoshi

currently 12 US cents would by you 10000 satoshi's or 0.00010000 of a bitcoin

hope my math is right and this helps you, apologies if you already new this
