Since this is a forum, I doubt that all of those replies have the same complex answers. That's the reason why we need to discuss a specific thing and he can ask again if he's still confused, and that how the discussion will work on this platform. People have different answers and experience of using bitcoin and for sure that there are complex and basic replies on someone's thread.
Bitcoin users don't make things complicated because they're always suggesting what's better for them unless the OP addresses some condition that won't be able to provide the suggestion.
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
In this community, users are already assuming that they're here because of money and I guess newbie knows bitcoin as an asset. Therefore, it's obviously can't be achieved by simple things unless they risk their time and effort claiming free BTC without any idea if it's legit or not. Those simple questions can be search in google but if he/she asked it on this forum, therefore he's looking a way to earn here in this platform.
