I think it is not a hard thing to learn how to use and understand the bitcoin technology. So, there is no need to advanced requirements to use that technology. By a good briefing or a little search, anyone can be a bitcoin user or a trader.
Yes Bitcoin is not so hard you need only time to learn it how it works. I was also a noob when i got my first coins from claiming faucets. Now I am investing in other coins.
I have learned that you need to save the coins which you earn or buy to maximize your profit in the future.
Actually it complicated at first sight but once you research enough about what it is and how it works then it would be easy for you to gain bitcoin faster and steadier and just as what you've said Claiming faucet is the first way newbies earn bitcoin since it's the most common thing you can search on google about how to earn bitcoin and after learning bitcoin that other complicated things the we encounter is about how altcoins and bitcoin is connected and it's difference.
