If a newbie asks what is a good wallet to use?
Bitcoin User will answer the hardware wallet which is not free. Yes it is safest but not a newbie-friendly

Instead of a web wallet that is free and easy to use. Every wallet has its own flaws in order to secure your bitcoin you have to learn how to use it and make it secure.
If you encourage newbie to choose random web wallet without knowing the security and do proper research, that newbies will fell to scam web wallet (e.g. freewallet). Electrum is the best wallet for newbie-friendly and safe.

If a newbie asks how to earn bitcoin?
Bitcoin user will say Signature campaign which is also not newbie friendly because you cant join the signature campaign now if you are a newbie.until they discover the altcoin campaign where they can join but will be disappointed sooner or later because of not getting paid and leave bitcoin and tell that it is a scam.

Instead, teach them one of the basic ways to earn bitcoin which is micro earning where they can earn small amount of bitcoin like faucets for them to test bitcoin
Faucet is useless you need to read this post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=825370.msg9220285#msg9220285

Be a freelancer or find a job in real life is better than sit in front your PC and completing captcha every 60 seconds.

If a newbie asks what good thing about bitcoin? anonymity?
Bitcoin user wants to teach about one the good thing about bitcoin which is anonymity but for a newbie point of view, it will also make confusion because if im the newbie why do I need to become anonymous if im not planning to do bad things.
Even though you use bitcoin for a good things (e.g. fundraising for charity) that doesn't mean people will not do bad things to you. If they know what's your name, where your location and which address you use... they can simply do $5 wrench attack. Be careful about your privacy and it's not anonymous but pseudonymous.
