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.
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.
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
I'll agree with you here. We should be teaching newbies that bitcoin is money, to be used for payments and trades, and not just to be hoarded. Bitcoin isn't anonymous, anyway.
I don't necessarily agree with bitcoin be viewed as only money. I find little reason to not view it as gold and where hoarding it does make sense. Both uses as a store of value as well as money are very possible.
