I won't agree with you. Old users want to tech perfect things about bitcoin, so the new user will not regret it in the future. If someone asks you about a bitcoin wallet then you should suggest a good wallet as a senior bitcoin user, web wallet wouldn't safe ever and newbies would regret when they will face many problems like KYC and account block. Even they can't buy a hardware wallet they should use a noncustodial wallet and no cost for it. If you don't suggest a hardware wallet then how newbies will no that it is such as an option to keep safer your bitcoin.

Regarding earnings, everyone earing from a different way, so they will suggest as same. Also, they should know regarding anonymity, either they follow it or not. I can't see anything wrong here.

for the newbie,they dont need to be afaid in kyc and I don't think the account block will happen as long as they don't do fraud.
in my opinion all wallet is not safe it just depend how you use it

Instead of a web wallet that is free and easy to use.

And completely insecure. And it teaches the newbie to trust an anonymous stranger with their coins, which is the exact opposite of what bitcoin was designed to do. There's a reason a lot of people recommend hardware wallets, and that's because they are a good balance of security and ease of use for newbies. If you teach a newbie to use a web wallet, who is then phished or hacked and loses all their coins, then there is no faster way to turn them away from bitcoin.

But in my own perspective Newbie is not someone who have a lot of coin. they are someone who is just starting in bitcoin and want to try it
and if ever they plan to invest on it i think they will do and make they own research.

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

Faucets are pointless. You will spend hours filling in captchas to earn a few cents worth of bitcoin. We shouldn't be telling newbies to join signature campaigns either, and every time I see someone recommend a brand new account a signature campaign I cringe.

Bitcoin is money. You can acquire bitcoin the same way you acquire any type of money. Get a job and earn it, sell a good or service for it, or exchange another type of money for it.

if I'm a newbie and just starting to learn bitcoin i will ask dollar instead if i do online job or sell goods and service.what i saying in faucet is for them to test it first as of now no one will send you bitcoin just to try it and if I'm the newbie who is not sure about bitcoin i will not also buy it.

[Guide] Hardware wallets - which one is a good choice?
Wallet summary (not mine)

Web wallets are unsafe. I use Electrum because of its lightweight on my computer and after install or open it I can use it immediately.

all wallet is not really safe https://cointelegraph.com/news/binance-may-know-who-is-behind-the-1-400-btc-electrum-wallet-hack

This is not true, not all the users show the hard way for the newbies... Maybe some of them do it but not all of them. And the newbies should search the information by themselves that be there waiting for someone to answer their doubts.

Is the newbie's responsibility to learn the bitcoin basics, and not our responsibility to teach them how it works.

well we cant say that it is our responsibility to teach them because we are the one who know more about bitcoin
its their responsibility to learn bitcoin if they want to use it i just want newbie to learn bitcoin in simplest way

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.

I'm not against in electrum but in my opinion web wallet is safe depend how you use it
i use blockchain for a few years but never experience any problem

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.

as i earn more i also see that faucet is useless but if i look more on it. when i still doing faucet way back on the past few years at that time it is also useless it take a month or more for me to earn some bitcoin which is only a few hundred dollars but i keep doing it because it is free and i have the idea that it will worth it someday instead or watching or reading something in social media while discovering more about bitcoin but if you look at the price of what i earn in faucet in a few months before its more than ten thousand of dollar today.

instead, teach them the basic about bitcoin which is a payment method where they can use online or they can do a person to person transaction

You gotta explain to people how Bitcoin is better than banks, because simply being an online payment method for p2p transactions is not enough, companies like PayPal and Venmo and countless others have been offering it for years, and with simpler user experience. Privacy is a perfectly valid point, these days people are paying for VPN and are installing anti-tracking addons, so there's nothing negative about that.

in my opinion bitcoin is not totally anonymous and decentralized it depends how you use it
and if you will teach it to newbie it will make it more complicated
only those who want to take advantage about it will be interested

Bitcoin isn't easy to understand and it all depends on what the person is trying to accomplish. If they are simply looking to purchase something using bitcoin then setting up a Coinbase account/wallet would be fine. If they are actually trying to learn about bitcoin and how it works, as well as use proper practices, then they need to learn things like how to use a hardware wallet ( which is NOT difficult to use) as well as the fact that bitcoin is NOT anonymous.

I simply can't agree with your findings here at all. I think you're off base with how you're trying to approach these things. Stop being lazy is my answer to much of this. Educate yourself so that you know how to do things properly.

if your using hard wallet it its good for you because you have some bitcoin to store
but what I'm talking about is newbies point of view
newbies is those people who is starting to learn bitcoin why do they need hardware wallet as if they have bitcoin to store
in my opinion almost all the newbies is only having a small amount of bitcoin some of the don't have any
they just want to test it, make transaction , withdraw some or buy small amount.
